Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 3

Work in retail, and on my feet for long periods. My Hooks are great, but the nice heel strap on one just shredded the second day. Now I don't touch the other one.

The arahi shoes squeak with my custo orthotics. The Gaviati 3 does not which I greatly appreciate. But I like the feel of the arahi shoes better. Maybe after running awhile with the gaviati shoes I'll get used to them

I HAVE BAD FEET - A COUPLE OF SURGERIES AND SEPARATELY TORN LIGAMENTS HAVE PRETTY MUCH LIMITED ME TO TENNIS SHOES. HOKAS ARE THE BEST IVE FOUND.

Shoes are nice but a little narrow for being wide and they really should have better arch support insoles for the price. I had to add different insoles.

I bought the Gaviota, because it was available in wide width. I have chronic foot pain and need a shoe that I can stand in for a good part of the day. I have had trouble finding a shoe that has enough cushion until I purchased a pair of Hoka Bondi and Stinson hiking boot, but neither of those were in a wide width and I found them to narrow for my foot. I have not had the Gaviota for long, but so far it seems as though it is a better fit for me and is comfortable to work in. I wish that Hoka would make a heavier duty shoe for work, I am not sure how the fabric of the upper will hold up to shop work. A wishful note to the design crew, I think that the work market could benefit from your plush comfort foot bedand offering more styles in wide width would be nice.

For someone who has plantar fasciitis, these sneakers have been amazing. I've been able to walk more than ever before without pain! Definitely worth trying out if you're looking for a comfortable shoe with arch support and a lot of cushioning.

Fit well just a little to hard

Not quite as plush as I thought it would be.

I have a large foot for a woman and had to buy 11 Mens to to fit well. This model is wider than I'd like for the best fit but they are comfortable otherwise. The tread offers more wear for heal supination.

I walk about 7 miles a day for exercise and my feet bother me a lot. I have plantar fasciitis and other nerve related problems. These shoes were good but I like the Bonzi 7 better. I couldn't get the Bonzi 7 in my size so I tried these. I don't like all the colors either. Much prefer just a plain black or brown shoe.

Great stability from a quality-built shoe. The narrow toe box is not friendly to us more mature customers.

My husband has been wanting to try these. He wasn't disappointed. Currently, he works in a warehouse setting, which means that he's constantly treading concrete all day. There's no rubbing, achy feet, or painful lower back. We're just hoping that they will hold up for awhile. He's satisfied with his purchase so far.

You need more colors. Lack of choices is why I bought last years model.

The usual greatness you get from the Gaviota, I had triple arthrodesis done on my right foot and these shoes are Great!!! I wish a little more plushness was given but a great shoe. The only thing is i got these on sale and the free shipping that they say does not include sale items so made it closer to the Gaviota 4price. Not right Hoka!

More outer and side support than Bondi models, good for wide feet, and easy to get foot in shoe. Wish the midsole and arch had a bit more support.

I use the shoes for walking for exercise and for daily wear. Hopefully the soles will be better than Bondi soles. Every pair of Bondis I've had, some of the dark colored stiffer outer sole pieces have come loose or have fallen out completely when fairly new.

Not as comfortable and as easy to walk in . My Clifton Is my favorite.

I now use for easy running, but mostly for fast walking.

GREAT stability. Everyday go-to shoes. Own two pairs. I have the EE 9.5. I also had two pairs of the older G2's. Needs more colors in EE. Also needs much better insoles - cheap. I replaced with Sof Sole.

I used them on our trip to France. Walking all over Paris

One criticism is that the first time I put the shoes on the strap assist behind the heel of the left shoe just pulled right out and is now useless.

This style isn't as plush as the Hoka 7. Stiffer

I use this product at work where I am on my feet for hours at a time. Very helpful for my feet and low back.

did not fit as well as other HOKA's i have

Team HOKA makes a Great running shoe, very comfortable. I have been buying HOKA running shoes for 10 years. My only request would be to have more colors available in the wide shoe selection
