Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 6

Most comfortable shoes my husband has ever owned. No more pain in his knees, hips, or feet from neuropathy. He just wishes there were more style options that don’t look like orthopedic shoes with huge white soles. Not a deal breaker though. The comfort far outweighs the style.

Update 1 initial wear Perfect fit previously had Bondi 7 8.5 4E These fit way better for a extra wide shoe with high instep and high arch Very comfortable Update 2: (when I go long runs and jogs)

Sorry, but the shoe felt very uncomforable, size was right, width to tight, fabric was excellent. Walking in them felt very awkward. Had to send the back

Gaviota 6 is a great follow-up to the Gaviota 5. They fit great! I wear a 14 wide and the 2E is perfect. Fit for me is exactly the same as the Gaviota 5! I strongly recommend them.

Great overall. I like the soft cushion feeling.

It's the best Hoka I've worn so far. I own Cliftons and Bondis.

Used this shoe with substantial orthotic. First Hoka I ever wore. Fantastic! It has enough stability and after walking for an hour on both pavement and uneven garden surfaces I do not have sore feet! Does not aggravate any of my multiple foot/ankle issues. I do want one shoe that feels slightly more grounded if that is to be had (no luck so far) but am adapting to the cushioning and feel more and more secure as I wear it.

I had been buying the Arahi shoes but switched to the Graviota model, which is extremely comfortable both walking and standing. I don't run so I cannot comment on that.

First pair of Gavioti 6 purchased after having much success with the 5's. My husband was very pleased with the 6.

Great shoes! Have gone through 5 pairs.

Love.

Bought the Hoka Gaviota 6 to help with plantar fasciitis due to overpronation. I generally wear a 4E width; the toe box on these shoes are extra wide so I purchased the 2E. The 2E seems to fit. Comfortable, but haven't noticed any appreciable difference in the foot issues since I started wearing these. Difficult to find a wider width in a brick and mortar store, so paying the price online is something of a risk (if you have foot issues and think that the Hoka's are going to make a difference).

This is the first shoe that I've had to purchase a wide width in a very long time. They run very narrow. That said, not as plush as the Bondi but do provide adequate stability, if that is needed.

These shoes feel different than other HOKA shoes. I tried both 2E (wide) and 4E (extra wide). They are narrower, but the extra wide is too wide still. They look great and the stabilization (arch support) is really good. I had to return both and go to a different HOKA model (Arahi).

I wore a D10 in the Hoka Gaviota,and I thought the next iteration would be similar in its fit, support, and comfort. But to my disappointment, the toe box is narrower than the 5 model and shorter in its length. The Gaviota 6’s support and stability, on the contrary, were excellent and no complaints in these areas. So I will return them. I haven’t decided yet if I will order a 10 1/2 and wide. I may go to a shoe shop to find the correct fit.

I wear an xwide mens shoe. The 4E width was tight. Need to look at another brand.

These are completely different than the Gaviota 5. They have a high platform and are narrower. Returned immediately
