Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota

I have enjoyed running more than I have in the past with these shoes. They are true to form and have great support and cushion!

I have been wearing Asics GT wearer but was looking for a change and more cushion. Very happy with the Gaviota and had no issue adjusting from my old Asics.

I walk 5 miles a day and these shoes are always comfortable and have held up very well.

These shoes are perfect for me. I am no longer a runner, however I have many old ankle and foot injuries that continue to bother me and have prevented me from doing many activities. After wearing these shoes for 5 days, I noticed I was able to spend far more time on my feet and move freely. I work my dog in agility and have noticed a huge change in my handling skills while running a coarse. I have already ordered a 2nd pair so that I have a backup.

I bought this product because I was told that they would help my aching feet, that the arch would help my flat feet and my heals. I was very disappointed. Even with putting my inserts in the shoe my feet hurt so bad that I could not wait to get home to take them off. I was really looking forward to my feet not hurting as much anyway. I would recommend them to someone who's feet are not as bad off as mine.

Use these for walking outside, very stabilizing and confirmable, lots of cushion to protect from walking on cement. Also wearing orthotics in them, great fit.

Great product.

I bought these after a friend of mine recommended the Clifton's., she's had knee and back issues. I read the reviews and based on my foot type bought these. I have been a runner and have taught fitness classes for 17 years. I currently teach high impact aerobics classes and some floors aren't as forgiving as others. I've also had issues with plantar fasciitis. These shoes have been amazing! I ordered a half size smaller as suggested by the Hoka sizing guidelines, they also were a little tight at first but I narrowed the laces and as my shoes adjusted to my foot type started tighthening them up. They have saved my feet and joints! I will be buying these again! Loved the memory foam and responsive insole. I've recommended Hoka shoes to my fellow fitness instructors and they are now wearing them as well to save their feet and joints.

I was very skeptical about purchasing Hoka shoes at first. I live my life on the fringe group of the ultra trail running community and those crazy people swore by them, so I figured I would give Hoka a try. I have arthritis in my right knee, but either walk/Run/trail run almost every single day. These shoes are everything they promise to be- lightweight, cushioned, and supportive. I purchased the Gaviota shoes based upon another review that was written, and I would absolutely recommend them. Even with my wide-ish foot, they fit perfectly.

I have hallux rigidus in my toes from osteoperosis and arthritis in my knees, in addition to recurring hip bursitis. These shoes do a wonderful job aligning my hips/knees/feet and take pressure off my toes. They are extremely comfortable and I'm very happy I found them.

I'm a nurse on a very busy out-patient unit and after a 10-12 hour shift, my feet still feel comfortable!

I like these shoes..they look fashionable but lack the cushion of my previous Hoka shoes

Walking

I walk 3-5 miles per day. I find these shoes very comfortable and supportive. I am now recovering from micro tears in my Achilles' tendon, these shoes have helped me to begin my walking program again.

I use this for walking right now. I have an injury and it is like walking on a cloud. My daughter has bad feet and is a nurse in the ER. I bought her a pair.

I use these shoes for cross fit like classes. Love them!! I have arch issues and the support had been amazing! My knees are also not in the best shape, so the impact cushioning has been a huge help with our box jumps.

I purchased this shoe after reading another review. I am trying to get back into exercise by starting to walk/jog. I have plantar fasciitis and sometimes have difficulty finding a good shoe. My second day wearing them I had walked 4 miles before I realized it! Super comfortable offer great support and cushion. I purchased a second pair to have a pair for work.

I use it to work in as I walk on cement floors

The shoes felt great for the first couple of days, however my legs started hurting on about the fourth day. I almost fell because of the heel being so high. I am hoping to try some of your shoes where the heel is not quit so high. The price is a little high so that's it not appealing.

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

Nice colors

Even though I loved the product I couldn't buy it-in men or women size- and I tried them both. There are some of us out there with not just the need for a wider shoe, but also a need for a shoe that has enough height inside the shoe to add a custom orthotic insert to a cushion that offers no arch support as the orthodic is our arch support. There's plenty of us out there and our feet are screaming for someone to make a perfect shoe-the Hero! And except for the inability to add that extra layer in the shoe, your shoes would have been true winners!
