Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota

Most comfortable shoe I've found for work. They do wear well, maybe a little quicker for me because of high usage.

The medium width Gaviota runs narrow, which is fine for me. These shoes have the best support, fit and comfort of any road shoe I've ever owned. It's especially good for over-pronators. I have these shoes in two different colors, size 10.5 I'm glad I bought them when I did (fall 2018), because the Gaviota in that size is really hard to find now, even when ordered direct from the company. I also love the contrasting laces that set off the designs, and I hope one can get replacements, if needed, from the company or somewhere else. Great shoes!

20 years as a restaurant server. 4 years as a serious snowboarder. 8 years as a hospital nurse. 1 hip surgery.... to many knee injuries to list. I've done Danskos, New Balance.... just about everything. My physical therapist recommended the brand to me, and I've been HOoKaed ever since. I've tried two other versions and the Gaviota is the one for me. I just ordered a new pair to wear at home. At this stage in life, my knees and hips demand that I walk on clouds. I need the cushion. Thanks Hoka One!

I just had extensive surgery and this sneaker has provided stability that I need to assist in recovery as I work on proprioception, gait, and balance.

I work 12 hours a day a walk about 5 miles a day, I love the fact that my feet don't kill me when the day is done. And I can still walk the next morning!

Love these sneakers for casual road running & jogging. Super cushy and look great too. They also support my ankles, which is an extra plus. The fit pretty true to size, I'm an 8 but tend to size up 1/2 in running sneakers, but my 8s actually fit well. Thanks Hoka!

I'm a big person with bony flat feet. This shoe has the stability, balance and cushion I need in a shoe. I walk a lot, jog some and cross fit some. This shoe works for me in all areas. I hope Hoka will continue to carry a shoe for those of us who have problem feet.

Most comfortable athletic shoes I own! After rupturing my plantar fascia on my left foot, these shoes are the ones that I will always wear! The cushioning is the best! My feet do not hurt at all when I wear these.

I have mild hammer toes. For years I have spent a lot of money on tennis shoes to get a comfortable pair that would allow me to walk a long distance. I spotted a lady walking down the street and ask her what brand of tennis she had on..didnt take long before I purchased my first pair of Hoka One One. Purchased the Gaviota dynamic stabilizer next go round. It is time for another pair. I have lost 15lbs by walking an hour a day.. My feet has never ever gotten tire. I could walk for hours if my schedule would allow. Extremely comfortable for being on my feet as a caregiver and housekeeper all day too.

These are the best shoes I have ever owned. I have had some hip problems, and these were the only shoes that didn't cause me pain before surgery. Now after recovery my second pair are a dream to run in!

I went to the doctor for plantar fasciitis, the podiatrist told me about the importance of a choosing the right shoe. The toe area should not be able to pushed up with two fingers. I have worn Asics Kayano and most for 15 years, I even tried their $250 shoe Meta Run, I was not happy with the sloppiness of either of them. I noticed the podiatrist was wearing Hoka's. I thought well the are ugly colors but they look sturdy. So I went to the store and tried the most stable shoe they had. The second I put my foot in the Gaviota I knew I would never own another pair of Asics. I still wear the plastic orthodic under the liner for proper arch support but the base of the shoe is unlike anything I have ever had on my feet. I am a wedding photographer and on my feet 12 plus hours a wedding day and would love to be able to wear women's solid black Gaviota's but they don't make them. My only complaint would be the color selection. Some of us would like to use these professionally and not look like you are wearing a highlighter on your feet. Other than that, seriously, the most amazing shoe ever. I am so happy to have found these and when I saw my podiatrist I thanked him for modeling amazing footwear to his patients! He recommends them frequently he said. I can certainly see why. Take care of you feet, knees, hips, back by putting a solid stable shoe under you. You can't go wrong with the Gaviota!

I bought these on a doctor's recommendation--and I love them! I wear (large) orthotics, but they do fit in a regular size (NB I have pretty narrow feet). I have horrible foot problems--pronation, flat arches, etc. I had previously been wearing my orthotics with Brooks Ariel (the F of Brooks Beast), which my orthotist recommended, but as soon as I put these on, my feet felt better. As a side benefit, they looked better, too! I am extremely happy with these.

These are great for pronators. Probably my favorite sneaker ever. I do wear orthodics with them so order a 1/2 size up. I run 5ks regularly and wear them constantly at work when I am on my feet all day. Love Hokas in general and recommend them to everyone.

I have two pairs. I alternate them each day as I wear them from the time I get up until I go to bed.

Wear these practically everyday all day. Hokas have spoiled my feet for other shoes.

These are excellent shoes for me, comfortable right out of the box, They have great support and cushion.

These are the most cushioned and comfortable shoes I've ever worn. They are also very supportive. It feels like I'm walking on marshmellows! I had complete foot reconstruction surgery a year and a half ago, and my foot is still painful sometimes when I try to work out, but I have no problems when I wear these. I will continue to wear these and keep buying them every time my pair gets worn out!

I bought these shoes specifically for work. I have 14- hour days and I'm always on my (flat) feet. Regular running shoes weren't good enough, and my feet, legs and back hurt by the end of the day. These Hoka Gaviotas have great arch support, stability, and cushioning. They were very comfortable since day 1. I took them to the gym to tried them and I used them for work the 2nd day. No "break in" period needed. I wish Hoka Gaviotas had the same colors in wide than they do in regular. There are only 3 options in wide; the website and stores around my area only have the color I already own or they only sell regular Gaviotas, not wide. I had to order leather Gaviotas in grey, which was not my first choice in material or color.
