I love the show and it fits perfectly. However, I had to super glue the soles after a week of walking. Pretty Disappointing since I am sure it is going to come loose again.

Just received my shoes! Excited to try them. I’m on my feet on concrete floors 5 days a week. Time will tell. They do feel like standing on a cloud.

I have previously worn the Bondi 7 and loved it. The Bondi 8 doesn't fit me as well so I bought the Graviota.. I wish it had more cushion but plan to get some inserts. Otherwise it's a great shoe.,

I already had a pair and loved the, nice cushiony support, these are hard as a rock for support. They changed something.

I wear these sneakers at work where I'm on my feet for 8 hrs.. I will say that I have no complaints with standing all day in them. However, I also wear them for walking 3-5 miles on dirt roads and I cannot boast about them. I guess I was expecting more for the money but I don't feel that they're any different than a $60 sneaker. I had back surgery a few years ago and I was looking for a comfortable, support sneaker and this sneaker isn't it...

My past 2 pair have been 8D. This new pair (same style/type) seems smaller and tight lengthwise. Not sure I like them at this point. I've worn them about 5 times and my feet seem sore at tips of toes because they are hitting walls.

The right shoe is not right. I wish I could explain it.

I am just a walker but have had one knee replaced 10 years ago and one this year. I wanted new Hokas so I wouldn't walk in the pattern worn by my bad knee. I have worn Gaviota for a couple of years. So re bought the same shoe. However the shoe is not the same. The redesign has made it a different shoe. Still working on getting used to it.
The biggest complaint is the shoe laces. They don't stay tied. Old Gaviotas did not have this problem.

Really sorry to have to return these but the D is too narrow, I am keeping the Bondi 9.5 D because it is wide enough but the look and arch support of these is awesome.

I have been wearing HOKAS now for a little over 3 years and I love them but this last pair I bought are probably my least favorite. I have plantar fasciitis and these shoes have really helped my pain. I went with this style because I was going to be more active and thought the extra sole would help but I'm not seeing a hey are helping. In fact my pain may be a little worse

I love my HOKA purchase, so much- so it kills me to give it three stars. The shoes themselves are a dream for someone on their feet all day (nurse over here). However, the quality for the money is questionable. The bottom of my shoe is (not sure how to describe this better), peeling off in the matter of only 2 months. I have had sturdier shoes for a much lower price.

I have two other pairs of Hoka shoes that fit quite well. I ordered the Gaviota 4 because I need cushioning and stability. Thye fit well except for the heel slippage. I would like to know if there's another option as I will need to return these.

Hoka has cheapened the product. The Gaviota laces are different and do not stay tied. The back loop has been
changed and feels cheap as well. I have been wearing Gaviota for several years now & am very disappointed this time!

Really cheap construction on the inside. Finishing of liners is droopy and the hemmed seams irritate the inside arch. Toe space is too narrow and I have narrow feet. I like the cushioning but the problems are too painful for me to keep these shoes.

My feet are super wide through the toe, and I loved my old Hokas because they were the only brand that didn't squeeze my toes together and cause the pinkie to painfully underlap the one next to it. However, when it came time to replace them, I found the new generation was narrower in the toe - just narrow enough to pinch, which is a huge disappointment.

When I tried them on in a store they felt great but breaking them in and walking around in them, my feet are very angry. I have blisters and my toes are still squished even with ordering a wide. They helped with my leg and back pain but my feet are not feeling great. I think I will try to size up.

I'm a nurse who works 12 hour shifts so comfort is a must. I have extremely flat feet and was also dealing with plantar fasciitis in both feet and posterior tibia tendon disorder. I received a cortisone injection which worked great but was looking for a new sneaker. I wore another brand for years but have been disappointed with them as of late. Trying on the Gaviola 4 I instantly felt pain. The arch support is way too high and the inside of the shoe is cut narrow. Oddly enough the rest of the shoe felt comfortable. I took out the insoles and replaced them with my custom orthotics and now they are super comfy. Still not sure if I would purchase again. They are too expensive to roll the dice with.

For the price of these shoes, I should love them and I do not but I waited too long to return them. They do not feel wide enough.

I have owned Hokas for 5 years, recommended by my Dr. Just ordered a replacement and they are a good 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch too short for the same size.
Going to exchange and hope the next 1/2 size up isn’t too big.
Disappointed and Hope Hokas is not reducing their quality.
