Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 3

This shoe was introduced to me by my orthopedic surgeon last year after my ankle surgery and since then I've purchased 2pr for myself (Bondi 7). Decided it would be a great stabilizing shoe for my 79yo grandmother and got her the Gaviota 3s to help improve her gait. So far she loves them. Haven't had a bad experience yet with this brand...hope it stays that way!

I wear them to work. I am a barber and stand 12 hours straight. I could go out dancing when my work is done , my feet and legs feel great

My feet feel good

Since I am on my feet most of the day (as a teacher), I need comfortable shoes to wear on the days we wear jeans. My Hokas are so comfortable. I don't have to worry about my feet hurting at the end of the day. I will definitely be purchasing more in the future.

These are hands down the BEST shoe to wear if you work on concrete floors! I love these stability shoes and wear them 5 days a week to work. I replace them every 6 months or so, when my feet start to hurt as thats when I know the "Cush" has worn down!

Comfortable and great for walking

They are a great work shoe. I work on hard floors and had knee pain. These shoes has relieved most of my pain and are comfortable.

Work and it's comfy

Love these can't say enough good things

Love the shoe.

I thought I could use them for pickleball, but they are NOT court shoes. When in OBX this summer, a salesclerk told me they were fine for it, but not so. Keeping them though as I love how cushiony they are and make me feel taller, but will only use them for walking. Wish they didn't look so wide.

These are my fourth pair of Hoka's. I started wearing them a couple years ago when I hurt my foot and was dying of spur pain and plantar fasciitis. My first pair were the Bondi 6, what an amazing shoe, so much support in my heel area that I was able to continue with my daily 3-5 mile walks in beautiful Oahu. I did not like the Bondi 7 not as much support and cut too big my foot was always sliding out very disappointed so I saw the Gaviota 3 on sale and so glad I did. It has much better support than the Bondi 7. The heel is plush and sturdy. It holds my foot in place and I don't even need orthopedic inserts in this one. So far it's been a month and I love them. Got one for my sister too!! I also bought the Bondi 8 and hopefully they're like more like the older ones.

I wear these as a daily work shoe and you can not beat the comfort!! No more back,leg and foot pain!!!

It's a great sneaker for walking.

very comfortable, slightly wider fit than the arahi model

I have feet that ache after walking and working out. I spent a lot of money on expensive shoe inserts to no avail. I also have rheumatoid arthritis which compounds my issues. I decided to splurge and buy a pair of these and I've never looked back. I have several pairs now and the Graviota 3 is my most recent pair. They do a great job of cushioning my feet and supporting them. I don't particularly love the lacing system though. It's a cute design feature but annoying, as the laces are kind of crowded and difficult to adjust, especially while wearing. Hoka is consistently listed on websites as the best shoes for walking and running. I agree. I wear wide width but don't need that with Hoka, none of them.

I am in the medical field and am on my feet all day since purchasing Hoka's I no longer have pain in my feet and legs! This is my 3rd pair and I'll never go back to another brand!

They are very veryscomfortable.

For everyday, cleaning and shopping

Love my shoes! I have another pair just like them that are starting to show wear, so ordered a new pair! Wish I could have gotten it in wide, but it still works.

I take the inner sole out and put my orthodics in my Hokas. I have both Gaviota and Bondi styles. Can't say enough good things about them!

These shoes are amazing! I am a nurse whom is on her feet for 12-14 hours a day and they shoes help my legs feel so much better after a long shift! They have a tone of support.

I wear my Hoka's all day everyday. I have extremely flat feet and plantar fasiatis so my podiatrist highly recommended these shoes. They are awesome. I certainly will buy again. Thank you for making a great shoe.

Great for walking

Feet feel much better
