Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 3

Wear your sneakers EVERY day

daily exercise

I'm literally in tears as I write this review. I have searched for years to find a motion controlled shoe that I could wear to help with my foot condition. I was born with the flattest feet known to man. This sport shoe is the absolute first one I've worn in my life that I can wear all day and not feel like feet are splitting in half! Thank you, HOKA! You have answered my prayers.

Very supportive. I walk 35 miles weekly and have worn my first pair for over two years. Second pair are even better. I highly recomend the shoes for walking.

Excellent

Good support & cushion

Love the comfort and support of this shoe!!!

These shoes just feel different. More stability and very comfortable,they encourage you to do more.

Love these for the gym!

I brought these shoes for work yea may sound crazy but hey I wear a 13wide or 14 if don't have wide I got a 14 Thats all they had at the time but if I came on here I would of got 13 wide.I didn't order online I went to a local store and got them . I have had them for a month in a half now I actually like these shoes at first when I got them they hurt my feet a little I guess I had to break them the break in period was a week I was kinda worried but I love them I ain't gonna lie there very comfortable I am a bigger guy and I work on my feet most of the day. I never new nothing about Hoka shoes till this purchase but try them u will be in love!

Shoelaces are a little too long. Other than that the shoes are perfect. I wear these every day.

I own three stability shoes, the Gaviota 3 is by far ("La creme de la creme") the very best.

I've been using bondi or Clifton Hoka shoes for years and developed a lower tibia issue that limited my running. The problem was my probation on the right foot. So, I bought these shoes about 2 months ago and started running again...I do about 15-20 miles a week and have not had pain in my leg for about 6 weeks now! These shoes are great at controlling my pronation and now I can run without worry, thanks Hoka!!

This is my 6th pair of Hokas. I have been wearing the Arahi 3 and decided to try the Gaviota 3. They seem to run a bit small and ordered a size larger than normal (14 instead of 13). I am not a runner due to serious ankle injuries but walk about 3 miles a day. I've only had these shoes for a week but they are great so far!

I've been in running in Gaviota's for a few years. This new model is an improvement on shoes I already loved. Controls my pronation, smooth cushioning and I think they look better than the last model. I have pair in black for running and a pair in gray for the weekend. Great shoes. Keep up the great work, Hoka!

I have a defined pronation and these shoes support and wrap my feet to control the problem. Great quality and comfort.

The best shoes I. Have owned and did not have to wear inserts.

I am a letter carrier and wear them all day every day.

I have been running in Gaviota for many years. Nothing I've tried comes close (maybe Arahi). My feet never hurt when running in Gaviotas!!!

The Hoka stability shoes are the best shoes on the market if you have foot pain. I have horrible sesamoiditis / metatarsalgia/ Morton's neuroma (never was officially determined which it was... they're all kind of the same thing). These are the most comfortable shoes I have found, and I have spent easily over $2000 searching for the right shoe to fix this problem. I just wish Hoka would make a trail-specific stability shoe!! These are actually pretty decent on groomed trails, and they have pretty good traction overall. But I would LOVE to see a Gaviota ATR or even one with Vibram. Think about it from a sales perspective... people who have foot pain are obsessed with this shoe. You could definitely convince most of them to fork out another $160+ for a trail-specific stability shoe.

I own five types of Hoka's and these are by far my favorite. They are stable, lightweight and really comfortable.

Walking

MEN'S GAVIOTA 3 - best athletic shoes ever! I am a big/clumsy/broken down old dude. These shoes give me great balance and confidence to walk and try to get fit. They are very comfortable. SO, stop now and buy these shoes! NOW!
