Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 4

I have 6 pairs of the Bondi series I was getting bored with the same colors. So i decided to try a different style of Hokas. Went with the Govitas and they are even Better at least for me than the Bondi. And the color is awsome.

Love these shoes! I've had 8 pairs of Hokas and the Gaviotas are my favorite. Great support and comfort.

I ordered the regular-width shoe at first because I have been able to get by in other brands with a regular width despite my feet being on the wide side, but with these Hoka's I had to replace them with the wide version so if you are like me definitely get wide. This process was super easy and shipping was very quick! I had to wear the shoes and adjust the laces as I went on these for a week or so before I finally found the perfect fit. At first the shoes were way too tight especially when I sat for a while and I had some foot pain. After a week or two I was fine and the shoes fit great, so don't be discouraged if they aren't meeting your expectations right away. I got these because they were recommended by a podiatrist and I do think they are helping me not position my feet pointing so inward as I walk.

I have nerve damage in my foot and it swells when I've been on it for a while and these shoes not only cushion my foot but the wide width is actually wide enough to allow room for my foot to be comfortable when it swells. I tried the wide width in three other Hoka styles and they didn't leave any room for swelling nor did they have enough cushion to be comfortable to wear all day.

It feels like I am walking on feet mattresses! I may never buy a different shoe again.

I bought this shoe for walking. My feet don't hurt after walking in them after a while. They are pricey but well worth it.

Love this shoes - doesn't hurt my feet when I run.

My walking shoes were worn out and my heel pain/plantar fasciitis returned so it was time to invest in a good pair of shoes. Walked 5 miles with zero pain the next day. I also have a pair of Hokas for weight training and HIIT and they provide the stability I need as an over pronator.

I use the shoes for everyday comfort and I am very pleased with my shoes. My feet feel so much better now that I have the Hoka shoes

Bought these for a friend since I love the Hokas I bought a year ago. I've seen her wearing them a few times already!

Lightweight and comfortable.

They're taking a minute to break in, so i can't wear them on my daily 3.5 mile walks just yet, but for general day to day stuff, they're perfect. Like walking with mattresses strapped to my feet.

Great if you have plantar fasciitis! Easy to put on. Don't need shoe horn!

I use my shoes everyday including church on Sunday's. Wishing Hoka would make casual wear shoes and not just a line of active wear shoes. Truly satisfied and thankful for a great comfortable shoe.

Love these shoes. I have 5 different pair that I switch out. My feet have always hurt in shoes. But in these hokas, my feet don't ache I have even started running again at 57years old. And I have a couple of pairs that I wear to work.

The best sneakers I ever had in my entire life. I was suffering I'm the last month of heel pain and it disappeared. I'm absolutely in love with Hoka Gaviota!

Starting my nursing career I was recommended another brand originally and I was experiencing so much foot/back pain and numbness. After asking around, HOKA were the number one recommendation. They are so worth it. They cute, but also so comfortable. No time needed to wear them in or blisters. I could feel the difference after the first week of wearing them. No inserts or even compression socks needed when wearing them.

I am a dance teacher. I am hard on my feet, have high arches, and need a shoe that gives me a lot of support. The Gaviota 4 is amazing in that it gives that support and also gives a lot of cushion. I have not found that combination in any other shoe. It also accommodates my orthotics. The shoes are comfortable all day, whether I'm walking, standing in the kitchen, or dancing. I like that the toe box doesn't squeeze my toes. But when I dance it's a bit too roomy - my foot slips around and chafes a bit. On one of the pairs (I got two) some parts of the sole have come unglued.
