Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota

It's a little narrow but the same Hoka cushioning.

I had to return shoes, huge blister on back of foot. Wore once. I'm

I have run in brooks for years and always loved them. In the spring I trained for 2 halfs and developed posterior tibial tendonitis. I switched to brooks stability shoe with no luck. These are my first pair of hokas, and I was in love from the first run. I broke them in with a 9 mile run with zero problems. They are nice and cushioned and with my inserts, I had no foot pain. The recommend tool suggested I order an 8, I wear and 8 1/2 in brooks. I still ordered an 8 1/2 and was glad I did; they fit perfectly!

Love THEM. They fix perfectly and are very comfortable.

I am overweight due to various medical conditions and recently developed plantar fasciitis. These provide the needed support, fit perfectly, and are breathable and lightweight. Nice bounce back. I am trying to get back in shape and I think these will help. I'll probably never "run" in them but if they help me re-establish my walking routine and have less pain, that's enough for me. No other shoe provides this level of comfort. I can wear them all day without being in agony. This is a huge thing for someone with foot problems. These aren't just for "athletes." Picked this model on the advice of a podiatrist.

Great support for probation. My shoe ran too narrow. Looking into wide.

I have "ball of foot pain" and do use a $70 orthotic w/ arch support and ball of foot support. I like to do strenuous hill walking and this shoe is the best I've used to prevent later having sore "balls of feet". I did not like the very bright colors the retail store to had access to, so bought the shoes online and got the last one in my size of a dark blue w/ pink laces variety. So, means other liked the darker color too. Also was concerned that the shoe would look huge on my size 9 feet - the darker color was way better in this regard.

Best purvhase i ever made!

I am an avid runner logging about 35-40 miles per week over the last 15 years. I am an over pronator along with having absolutely no arches. I have struggled over the years to find a shoe that really fit well and offered me the support that I needed. This shoe is absolutely hands down the best thing I have ever put my feet into! Great cushioning, foot support and leg alignment. I've been running in these shoes for a week now and I feel like I am flying! THANK YOU FOR THIS SHOE!

I have been wearing Brooks Adrenalin shoes forever! Im in total love! These shoes support my ankle supination (roll out, for the non-medical) and look great when I teach Les Mills BODYPUMP! The only description I can give is, it feels like squatting or lunging on a pillow! LOVE IT! They grip the floor and look fantastic for class! More COLORS PLEASE! I also added the Lock Tight Laces, well because Im lazy, HAHAHA, not really! I like the locked in feel and ability to kick them off quickly. AWESOME JOB HOKA! Im a converter/promoter!

These are comfortable but I miss the harder cushioning the Bondi 4's had to offer. I found the Bondi 5 to be too soft and wanted more spring off the ground. Love the look of the new Gaviota and their stability.

The back feels a little high, so I have been using a heel pad. Also width good but some pressure over instep.relaced, skipping next to bottom grommets. I've done this with other brands, and still feels comfy even if laced tightly

the first black pair I use for for. walking, standing all day . They are a bit thick/heavy. I recommended to other girls at the spa, 3 of them have purchased the shoes...yes I will continue to recommend them. Second pair I use to go to the gym ride my bike. I like the color very social, I can walk into a bar after my ride and get a drink.

I am a former marathoner and still run 5-6 miles a day. I was introduced to Hokas a couple of years ago and will forever run in Hokas now

The shoe was nice. Had to return for sizing issue. Awaiting return shoe.

Gaviota seems like a standard stability shoe just like other companies make. The Constant 2 was a significantly better shoe in my opinion. Please bring it back!!

I am a RN and work 12 hours shifts at the hospital these shoes provide the comfort, cushion and support I need! I LOVE THESE SHOES!!!

Daily walks...

Very good shoes, I'm into my second pair. I wish the outer heel was a bit stronger, mine hit there first and wear out before the rest of the shoe. But, overall, really great for me at 15+ miles a week at age 50.

I have chronic tendonitis in both Achilles. Although I still have pain these shoes aid in stabilizing my feet.
