Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota

still adjusting to the thickness of the sole

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.

A friend at work recommended these. I have really enjoyed these shoes! I work professionally, so cannot wear tennis shoes to work. I come home now and change into these shoes first thing. I am trying to get back into running in my late 30s and it has been a struggle. BUT these shoes help A LOT. My feet do not hurt as I am wearing them. They help my knees as well and I HATE wearing anything but these! I would wear them everyday if I could. They are very stable and level, which I love! And they have cushion to keep you feeling good and light on your feet...which I am not. As an unfit person, these shoes have been a blessing. I bought a pair for my father right after I realized how great mine were. I would recommend these to anyone who has issues with feet or knees or walking. They have helped me feel better, I wish I had known about these years ago!

I am a nurse and am on my feet all day. These shoes really helped with my hallux limitus and I strongly recommend them to nurses struggling with painful feet.

I broke my heel in December 2016 and when I began walking again, I was fitted with the Gaviota and now I own three pair. I've tried to wear other shoes but none equal the comfort of the Gaviota. I'm hooked!!!

This was my first pair of this brand of HOKAs. I have the Clifton 4 which is a great running shoe for a neutral runner. So I went back to Clifton 4 for me.

Am in rehaab for plantar fascitis with a bone spur. My podiatrist highly recommended these shoes. I was hesitant to try because I am not a runner, but was pleasantly surprised when i found they cane in wides. With a wide foot and high arch, I was sure I wouldn't be able to find shoes I could wear. BUT, these are great!

I use these shoes for running on pavement and in the park. My brother and running friend have been on me about getting a pair forever. I've only had them a couple of werks, but so far so good. I bought them for joint support. I have a bad ankle and the rest of my joints have to compensate.

I ended up returning the pair of shoes as they did not feel comfortable on my feet.

Where usually but them I can return them after wearing. Couldn't get them. They referred me to your web site. Always wear this shoe but something is different in this one. Don't like then, kill me feet. Very disappointed. Stand on cement all day have bought lost of Hokas. Lots of money spent not to like the shoes. Will not buy again because of return policy. Thought I was safe since I have wore this one before. Surprised in difference from last August when bought and now.

I take daily walks and feel very secure in these shoes.

I use this product for weekly running. I like the great support and fit of the shoe....color and style. For me I would like more air flow in the shoe because my feet were over heated on longer runs.

A friend recommended Hoka running shoes a few years ago and since then I have not purchased any other brand. I have a bone spur and finding a shoe that is comfortable and I can go miles in is a blessing. I purchased the Gaviota online and unfortunately that style pressed lightly on my injury so I had to return them. I had Bondi before so purchased those again and am very happy..

I like how I feel when I'm running. My stride seems smoother and softer on my feet and knees.

I work in a hospital - long hours on cement floors. These shoes have been so wonderful! I bought a pair for my high school son to run track in this season!

I had been doing a lot of trail walking, and unfortunately I developed plantar fasciitis. The shoes I had weren't helping matters, so I decided to buy a new pair. I bought these in Austin, TX. And these are the best tennis shoes I have ever worn. Wearing them actually helped with my plantar fasciitis. They are very comfortable - fit perfectly. If you need a shoe with a lot of stability enhancement, these are a great buy. My only complaint is that they don't come in all black - or primarily black and dark gray. I definitely plan to buy another pair at some point.
