Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota

I have a very painful big toe joint on my right foot, and prone to twisting my ankle due to incorrect rolling through my foot. These shoes are very stable, that is exactly what I needed! But due to that they are very wide, so it take a bit of getting used to. Also, I was disappointed that they are not the color that is shown on the website. The body of the shoe is a dull, washed out version of the color shown, so the only bright accents are on the sole of the shoe and the laces.

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.

My feet initially felt like in heaven on run, although half way through my toes on both feet went tingly. Walked the next day in them and made my feet ache. Couldn't wait to to send back! Please bring back the conquest! geez!

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

I've been using these for running around 4 miles a day on a treadmill. I purchased them to help alleviate knee pain. They are pretty comfortable and shock absorbing.

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.

it looked good, but the toe box was too wide and it just wasn't a great fit for me. Trying another shoe from hoka now. i have a narrow foot and need a straight last with stable stance. have loved previous shoes from hoka and will keep trying.

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.

Used it a few times on the treadmill and it felt okay, even though I noticed it wasn't as light as the Clifton 3 (which I keep trying to find replacements for). Took it outside and I realized that I didn't like it as much as I wanted to. Felt the drag almost immediately and was grateful when my run was done. I might use it for days when I know I should just take it easy or I might donate them to charity; if I hadn't recycled the box already I would return them. Lesson learned.

I ordered the regular width women's Gaviota and found it too narrow. I returned it and asked for a wide width to replace it, but they didn't have any. I need a stability shoe so no Hoka for me.

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 . . .
