Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 3

Favorite shoes ever. I can walk for hours with no low back ache. They are a little bulky and I wish there were other colors.

I love this shoe. One of Hoka’s best sneakers.

They're not lightweight, but they are by far the best and most supportive shoes that I can wear for hours. Don't sleep on Hoka's!

Love everything about these shoes

I love how these shoes fit my feet with a wider toebox and room for my custom orthotics. This is my second pair of this particular style, and I own a number of other Hoka styles. They're the best I've found for hiking and long walks with my dog.

I love this Sneaker and hope to buy again, in a different color. They are a perfect 5D. They have a large enough toe box and plenty of cushion.

I previously wrote a review with the same high marks, but don't see it. I neglected to mention that they are narrower in the toe box than the Bondi 7. I have slight bunions, as as noted in previous review, have hallux rigidus for which I wear prescription orthotics that are stiff in the metatarsal area. I don't find the narrower toe to be a problem. If anything, the Bondi may be a little too roomy, but nevertheless comfortable. I like these for style and color. The sharkskin works well for me because I wear grey and blue a lot. I've worn the Bondi 7 and it's predecessor for years and will continue to purchase that style along with this one

I’ve worn the Bondi 7 (and it’s previous iteration, the 6) for years now. I wear them every day, all day. I have hallux rigidus in both feet, arthritis, and slightly supinate. I replace the insoles with prescription orthotics. My Bondi 7 pair is pretty beat up. When I saw these I decided to try them as an alternative. The color scheme goes with many of my clothes and the sole offers enhanced lateral stability. I find them very comfortable and nice looking. I wear between size 7-7.5 in a street shoe, but wear these and the Bondi in size 8. My socks are on the thicker side. I’ll continue to purchase the Bondi 7, as I like them both. I don’t find them to be stiff, as one person reported, possibly because my orthotics are already stiff in the metatarsal area by design. I’m very happy with my selection and as always, Zappos is marvelous.

Love, love, love the Gaviota 3! Awesome shoe, just wish it came in more color choices. I wore my Gaviota's out over time, and was so frustrated when the Gaviota 2 was awful for me. Gaviota 3, third time is perfect. And so is Zappos!!!! Thank you Zappos!!!

I absolutely love these shoes- my second pair. Apparently so does everyone else. Had a hard time finding them the 2nd time.

I have tendonitis in my ankle and arthritis in my knee so my doctor recommended I either get custom orthotics or get some good shoes with really good arch support. I decided to give these a try and I am so glad I did. These shoes felt great straight out of the box and my feet and knees are thanking me! I can walk for hours and have absolutely no pain or soreness during or afterward. They have excellent arch support and just the right amount of cushion. Highly recommend!

Love my hokas. So comfortable and stylish too.

I love these shoes...I have 2 pairs & plan to buy another...well worth the money

I LOVE THESE SHOES...THIS IS MY SECOND PAIR...WORTH EVERY PENNY :)

I ordered my usual size (9 medium width) as a starting point expecting a strong possibility for a return. Running shoes always seem to be smaller than I expect. Not this time! The Hoka Gaviota 3 fit perfectly. Not too narrow, not to wide, comfortable toe box area and correct length. No toes jammed into the tips of the toes and no need for a return. They felt great right out of the box. I need a good stability shoe and for me, this is it. I have worn Asics Kayanos for a long time always adjusting sizing etc as each new generation never fit as before. I wasn't up for another round of that and decided to give the Hoka a try. Glad I did!
