Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 3

i find this newer style clunky as ever. i loved the originals but this shoe is heavy and clunky all around. the closures are even too much around my upper foot and no i am not that sensitive my foot hurts after wearing them all day. they are also extremely heavy.

The rubber is coming unglued from the bottom of shoe. I only wore them for 2 weeks. My first pair Gaviota 1 did the same things and sole wore out in 3 months. I use these shoes for work only. Stick with Bondhi or Arahi.

My first pair broke within a couple months. I thought id give them another chance because they are soo comfortable. But now this pair is already breaking

I have always worn a size 6 but I may need a larger size. I was out of the country and had to wear them. They feel too snug and I got blisters. I am guessing a 6 1/2 or 7 may have been a better choice.

I have been purchasing Gaviota's for years. These shoes are no longer comfortable!

These make my feet look big. Down size by 2 sizes

This she is too flimsy I returned them for exchange for hiking boots with customer service but have not heard back

I'm on my feet 8 to 12 hours a day. Was doing a lot of 12s until recently. My first pair of Hoka's were the Bondi 7 and I LOVED them. The Gaviotta's however, made my left foot hurt the first day I wore them. I was able to sell them to a friend because she'd had the Gaviotta's before & loved them. Then she got the Bondi's & didn't like them.

I am wearing the product on my feet. This brand of show I am not impressed with. I purchased them off the HOKA website under the orthopedic catergory of their own website. They hurt my feet and make my knees constantly ache. I had to stop wearing them and buy another pair sketchers and wear them. These shoes are not worth what I paid for them.

I love the colors of these shoes BUT they are not Wide. Shoes are very tight

I loved the Graviota 2 and the Clifton. I assumed I could trust the brand at that point and when my other pairs wore out I ordered the Graviota 3 and when I tried them on, I thought they sent the wrong size. very narrow in the toe box and tight across the foot. But I kept them thinking I was just lacing them too tight and since the Graviota 2 worked so well these would be fine. But they are not. My toes are cramped in the tip of the shoe, the toe box is much narrower than the Graviota 2 and the lacing system is a pain. For this price it's heartbreaking to eat that loss but I had to buy New Balances because I couldn't keep wearing these with the pain in the toe box.

I prob won't get these again. They're comfortable but part of the soul started coming off after wearing twice. Such a waste of money.

i bought these shoes back in september to wear at a job where i am standing for 10+ hours at a time. they were awesome at first. but now, over the last couple months, they have become very uncomfortable. i work 10 hour shifts 4 days a week and i switch shoes every day to make them last longer. so i only wear these twice a week. but they are still sooooo uncomfortable. painful, even. only two or so hours into my shift, it feels like i'm standing on concrete. i've grown to despise them.

Feb 2022 I bought 2 pairs of Hoka Gaviota 3's, Womens size 7.5. I was excited to receive them as these have been a rare find with global shipping problems. The shoes were 1/2 inch narrower by measurement than my other two pair which are 2 & 3 years old. They are too narrow for me. I have been wearing Gaviota for 8 years for foot problems and they are great for stability and cushioning.

Despite hating the colors, I loved my two pairs of wide-fit Graviota 2 sneakers, and looked forward to getting the Graviota 3 in wide in a better color. I'm so disappointed in the narrowing of the toe box for the Graviota 3. And to make matters worse, the lacing system for Graviota 3 is just awful. And with the narrowing of the toe box, I have to loosen and tighten the laces all the way down to the toes every morning. So I curse the ridiculous lacing system on the daily. Graviota 2 changed my life. I hated the colors, but they kept me on my feet for 10+ hours a day. I will willingly pay twice as much for multiple pairs of a true wide-fit shoe that's easy to lace up if you make it available in a wide selection of colors. Please, Hoka, listen to your people!

I was expecting a more Comfortable shoe. The shoe is nice and good for stability purposes but doesn't have a lot of comfort to it. They also have a high heel so you are taller. Not an issue for me but was hard to get use to. Overall I like the HOKA for stability but I will be trying a different shoe.

I selected the Gaviota3 because it's available in wide and I needed the stability due to hip and knee problems. This sneaker delivers when it comes to stability but I found my usual size ,81/2 Wide, too narrow to the point that I needed to get them off within 20 minutes after putting them on. My feet felt crushed. Keep in mind that I'm on the borderline of Medium & wide so the wide should have plenty of room, but it doesn't. I also don't care for the stiff fabric. I hope Hoka will redesign this shoe to allow more room in the footbed (a true Wide) and a more breathable fabric. I will be returning them.

I use these shoes at work, walking on carpeted floor only. The shoe feels good and comfortable. My issue with the shoe is the inferior glued-on loops that hold the laces. After 10 uses, the loops came apart. I lace my shoes very loosely, so there was no stress on the loops.

These shoes really hurt my feet. Returned.

This 3rd hoka that I bought is making noise and it feels like the sole of the shoe is hard.

Absolutely adored my Gaviota 2s. They were instantly comfortable, and I wore them all day everyday. They solved my plantar fasciitis heel pain. When I wore them out, I decided I needed another pair, and got the Gaviota 3s. Unfortunately, these shoes have brought back the excruciating heel pain I haven't felt in nearly 2 years. The sole is so, so firm. It has no give. The Gaviota 2s were a stability shoe, but the sole had a little give and cushion too. These also give me pain in my arch and outer foot. I wish I could return them. This is making me wonder whether Hoka quality has gone down as they've become trendier and more popular. I wish I could still buy the Gaviota 2s. Please bring them back!!
