Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 4

Have been wearing this shoe for about three weeks or so. I wear it all day and for walking for exercise an hour a day. It is relatively comfortable. Not as cushy as I would like, but in order to get the stability that I need, I probably need the firmer shoe. I have narrow feet, and with a sports sock, this shoe fits just right.

The shoe is great. The shoelaces are terrible. The fabric is too slippery and they don't stay tied.

Love the fit of this shoe. The only thing is that I'm getting a squeaking/clicking sound when I walk and it's driving me nuts. Not sure what the issue is.

I bought these for work and they give me great support.

I walk a lot . They are Very comfortable . They aren't Very cute . Can't wear them with a dress or shorts

I have been suffering with plantar fasciitis for about 6months. I have purchased other sneakers that say they are good for it. Wrong. Even went to the good feet store nothing. Until my Dr told me about Hoka. I looked them up and at first I was wow they are so expensive I don't want to spend so much on sneakers that may or may not work and have them sit in my closet like the rest. Was I wrong.... I wear they all day. My feet finally don't hurt like they use too. Now I'm able to get up from a sitting position and not cry in pain because my feet hurt so bad. I wish they were less expensive. Can't wait to buy my next pair.

If you need extra support for injury or medical issues

I typically wear arahi 6, but I wanted a little more stability so I bought these. They're very comfortable, good heel support and a lot more cushioned. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star is they seem to run a bit small. I typically get a 8.5-9 in arahi 6. The 8.5 in these seemed a bit shorter.

I thought my sneaker would be raspberry colored with blue trim. According to the picture online. It is purple and has mint green trim. They are very comfortable but not what I expected. I do love my Hoka sneakers. I own several pairs. I would just like to get the actual colors that you see online. Also, all my other hokas are size 8 and I needed to return these and get an eight and a half. They must run a little small

I ordered three different styles to try on, all of them in black, after I was assured by a chat assistant that the Hoka black is a true black even in sunlight -- but in fact the "black" shoes have that blue tinge in bright light that many plastic-based materials have. This is my only complaint: I wish they would use different dyes for their black shoes. So comfortable that I returned two pair, kept the Graviata 4 anyway, and with my orthotics, I'm back to long walks despite recent problems with a heel spur and plantar fasciitis. So there's that.

For me, the toe box is too narrow. The Stinsons and Bondis are best for me. I use Hokas for walking. But for runners, I am sure the Gaviotas are fine.

Best shoes ever. Wish I would of known about this shoes years ago. I have neuropathy in my feet. I stand and walk all-day long for over 8 hours or so. My feet feel so good and comfortable without any pain. I loved them so much I I purchased a second pair.

I have a pair of Hokas and love them. I ordered the Hokas that offer the best support for pronation and stability t hey are. I've shoes but don't have the support I expected

I love the feel, the look, and everything about these shoes! So comfy for work (12 hour nurse shift) and my daily walking and running!

I really like the look and feel of these shoes, but they were uncomfortable for me until I added an orthotic insert for extra arch support. Now they're great!

These shoes transform your feet into brand new feet. My feet felt good from the tie up. Epecially on the streets as I walked my daily 5 miles. I'm a 55 year old, Retired woman soldier, with a broken down body. I'm sure they'll be the same for you.

Love these and on my 4th pair, however they have progressively gotten narrower with each update. I am anxiously waiting to buy a wide size but the colors have been meh I am not sure why they can't have the same colors in both widths I specifically buy these for the plush, stable footbed so other Hoka wide shoes are not an option.

I just cannot wear these, I feel like my foot is in a half cylindereveryone raves about them! My niece can't seem to wear them either but her sister can. We must be weirdos

Wildly comfortable but the sole under the heel extends so far back behind the shoe that it is a trip hazard for me. I leave them downstairs and only use them walking .

I love these shoes. I've bought them before, I'll buy them again!!

These are the only shoes I buy now for my overpronation. Would have given 5 stars except "free expedited shipping" was 4 days later than promised, so it felt like a bait and switch. Also, shoestrings on this version of Gaviota seem to keep coming untied because of the material used.

I ordered Wide Width, and it says that is what I got, but it just does not quite FEEL like a wide width.
