Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 3

This pair was a Mother's Day gift, my first pair were a Covid purchase. I love the lightness of these sneakers, although they look clunky-they are not. The shock absorber factor is top notch! I keep saying I'm going to get back in shape but right now I wear them to work as I am on my feet 8+ hours a day. Have recommended these to several friends and family and they too are enjoying. The only drawback is that I misjudged the sizing both times and I'm too excited to wear do I have not sent them back.

The sticker inside peeled and leaves my foot feeling like I am standing on pebbles. Can I exchange my pair for the same shoe i

It is a great shoe, but sadly the Gaviota 3 Wide is much narrower than the Gavota 2. Please bring back the wider shoe for those of us who need them! And some better colors would be appreciated as well.

First of all, I am a person with a lot of foot and leg issues. I have forever been on a quest to find the perfect shoe. I have failed most searches. Hoka shoes did carry my larger women's size which I was thrilled with. Too often I have to buy men's shoes to get the right fit (size 12 women's). I also love the fact that these shoes look sporty as typically larger shoes don't have the appealing look to them. I liked the 30 day guarantee as well. While I typically wear a wide, these were plenty wide for me which was another plus. So why the deduction of 1 star? My feet begin to hurt after hours of wear. I am on my feet a lot. I have neuropathy, fibro, arthritis and restless leg. Add diabetes to that and a few foot and leg surgeries and I'm the poster child for a good fitting and supportive shoe. I've never worn a shoe as light as these Hokas as typically light means no support. I love the way they feel when I put them on and even after a few hours, I forget that I have foot problems. After a while however (5 hours and more), my feet begin to cramp and swell and I feel that familiar ache that I feel after being on my feet throughout the day. Compared to other shoes I've purchased, the pain is minor but sadly, it is still there. I just wish that I could find something that would give me all day support but these shoes come as close to any I've ever had (and believe me, I've tried on hundreds of shoes during my life).

Not as stable as hoped. Profile too wide. Feel a little ducky in them.

It's a great fit, it's snug and comfortable. It's just great support for my weak ankles and knees!

My knees, hips and feet have made it difficult. I have tried many shoes ($$$$) and these are IT! Now if the could just look nice with a dress!

I use them daily in a fast paced setting for 8 plus hours. They're great for long extended time standing and walking!

This is a great shoe, but I have to admit the Bondi 7 is still my favorite!

I love the shoes, they feel good on my feet. I have a heel spur and work at a job where I am on my feet for long periods of time. I can honestly say my foot does not hurt as long as I have the shoes on my feet. I wish that they was a little more stylish but comfort wins !

Love my Gaviotas but these are a bit too cushioned/high for me. Affects stance/forces and resulted in slight muscle ache.

I use the shoe for work. I am on my feet all day. This style feels a little tight on the sides but they are made of great quality.

One orthotic is 1/4 inch higher & my ankle was out of the shoe.So I can't really review them.However the company took them back & refunded my money as they said they would

These are very good shoes.

I've only had these for about a week and only ran in them once and liked them. I did wear them for a day of travel because I wanted something soft and comfortable to wear through airports and Ubers. But, after a few hours, I couldn't wait to take them off! The sole of my feet started to ache. Maybe better for me to keep these for running only.

I like my shoes but they kind of hurt my heels. I work in a warehouse type setting and walk nearly 15 miles a day on concrete. I was hoping these shoes would eliminate more of my foot pain but I have noticed the heels rub and my feet still feel sore. I wish there was a bit more cushion in the insole and a wider heel as well.

EVER SINCE TRYING MY FIRST PAIR, HOKA IS THE ONLY SNEAKER THAT I BUY. IT'S GREAT THAT I CAN FIND THEM ON THE NAVAL BASE AS TOO.

I need a wide toe box and space for orthotics. I ordered the wide and sized up a half . It's good enough to keep. But I would wish for these improvements: a softer, more cushioned feeling inside; more space in the toe box; and more of a rocker feel. I had the prior version and felt a better "roll". I also have the Bondi. I love the cushioned feel of that, but need a shoe for someone who pronates.

getting used to them Not certain they are for me Do I still have options to return to you for credit? Please let me know

These shoes have been great. I have severe planter fasciitis and flat feet. After wearing these shoes all day my feet actually don't hurt, it's awesome. I was recommended to try the Bondi, but they don't have the stability support I needed.

I have always worn Brooks Adrenaline so I thought I'd give these a try. They are about the same, maybe a bit more cushiness in the Hoka. Both have good stability. Enough room in the toe box without feeling too wide. I would buy them again.
