Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota

I work in the Medicsl field and stand over 12 hours a day some days.

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.

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!

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

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...

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

I find Hoka's run large. Normally wear a 1/2 size bigger just for running and walking but with Hoka's you can wear your true size...otherwise too big.

Excellent for walking

I started getting plantar fasciitis and these shoes have enabled me to easy back into running.

feels great. looks awesome. plenty of room for my wide feet!!!

I needed to replace a pair of Hoka Challenger that had worn out. I tried the same model, but they were different. After trying many other shoes, I tried the Gaviotta. They have worked out wonderfully. I used orthodics which fit well. I needed stability shoes and these fit the bill. Thanks for giving me my mobility back with these great shoes.

I love hoka's, great for my high arch. The colors are a little too bright tho

Loooove Hoka's

I finished my 10th 1/2 marathon in these last weekend. This was the FIRST time I have not had to duck tape up my inner arch to prevent blisters....no blisters, no "hot spots"....not one!! These shoes are amazing! I'm back to buy a second pair!

A nice super stable, max cushion show that doesn't weigh a ton or feel heavy on my feet! The wider toe box is so nice since most other shoes squeeze your forefoot so much. Very nice looking shoe as well.

Excellent Shoes
