Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota

I discovered HOKAs a couple of years ago and they have become my favorite training shoes of all time. I have been a runner and weight lifter for more than 35 years. I am getting older but still work-out 5 days a week and walk 7 days a week. I work a full-time professional job, but replace my heels with HOKAs as soon as I walk in the door. The styling has improved tremendously and I am your best advertisement because I am all about them. I have introduced them to my husband, my friends, and my co-workers. Still working on my kids.......Great product, great fit, and I love this great new styling!

Longtime fan of the Arahi, I am now in love with this model. Heel doesn't sink as low as in the Arahi, so this one is much better for running. Also, it's just a terrific all-around walking shoe. I give credit to Hoka in general for alleviating my plantar fascia pain. Thank you.

Good stable shoe, able to wear my orthotics with them. Starting to walk again after a winter knee injury, goo support.

I ran more in my first pair, but am bringing this new pair when I hike the Camino de Santiago. The first pair has worn great so I'm counting on this pair to do the same....about 500 miles ...stay tuned!

I've tried Brooks, New Balance & On. This shoe is awesome if you're looking for a wide toe box that is also a stability shoe. It's the only shoe, I found to correct my pronation. The proof was when I wore them out. The sole was wore off just in the center and not on the sides. Easy break in period. Still provides cushion when woren out. Shoe material holds up to everyday wear.

love the stability

I love these shoes. I walk 10 miles a day and this shoe keeps me going.

Trail walk and gym use for this shoe.

True fit, very comfortable.

These shoes were perfect for me right out of the box. I was concerned that the padding would not be enough, but I needed stability even more. My feet are slender and placing my feet on the ground properly, is an issue for me. I needn't have worried. My Gaviota's are the perfect balance of both. Just make sure that you get the color you want before they are sold out! I feel confident that I will be able to continue walking without developing the hip/low back issues that I encountered in the past and I can even imagine running again. :). Thank you! PS The athletes in my class think I am cool now. LOL!!!

As soon as I put these on my feet I felt the urge to bounce and run what is funny is I don't run but I had to in these shoes. I ran up and down the driveway with my dog woofing with excitement over me riding awesome shoes

Best running shoe I have ever purchased. They fit true to size (I wear a size 10 and have normal width feet). The cushion on these shoes are awesome. Give them about an hour to and hour and a half to break in. Once they are broken in, they mold to your feet beautifully.

This shoe has helped reduce my knee pain!

I use these shoes specifically for running. I've had them for about a month and enjoy every run in them. I over pronate and the Gaviota has the perfect support for my arches. I look forward to many miles in these running shoes. Thank you Hoka for making the perfect running shoes for me. I love them.

I bought these shoes after having severe metarsal pain in my foot. Three days later I went to the podiatrist and he said these were the only shoes he would allow me to wear until my surgery and then after I could most any of the other Hokas but only this brand due to their stability and cushioning. Kind of cool that I chose for myself the ones he wanted me to wear before I saw him.

My feet and ankles require a shoe with lots of cushion and support, this is it! I have two pairs & wear them daily. The "Hoka" brand was recommended by an orthopedic surgeon, confirmed by my podiatrist and therapist . . .

Recommended by my orthopedic surgeon. I wear daily. Best, most comfortable shoes I have ever worn!

Gaviota's are great for everyday coming & going, and are excellent for working out as well. I've had feet issues, knee issues, low back issues... and on, and on, and on... these are excellent, and a worthy investment. I will purchase more.

Have a bad back and planter facilitus, HOKAS are the only shoes I wear everyday all day! Recommended by my chiropractor, best tennis shoes I've ever owned!

Stable yet super comfortable!!

These shoes are so comfortable and my feet are never tired after a 12 hour shift

I bought thirst shoes for my wife. She said it is the most cushioned support running shoes she has ever owned.
