Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota

I wore these shoes one time and had extreme pain in my feet. The toe box was very tight causing toes to crunch up creating blistors.

I love the show but I need to return it as it doesn't fit even after ordering a half size bigger than my foot size. I wish they came in wide sizes in this style. Maybe I will consider a different style in the future.

Ask someone on chat what the best replacement for constant 2 (which was discontinued) and was told to get the gaviota. Big mistake. The nice arch support and heel stability and comfort of the constant 2 was completely lost in this so called replacement sneaker. It doesn't do much for the pronation control as the constant 2 did. If you made a constant 3 with the same features, it would be great. Now I have to find them from other sources. Once that option is gone as well, so is my faith in hoka sneakers.

Been a Hoka fan for years at least 15-18 pairs. Most recently the last three gens of Cliftons. I overpronate but not horribly. Reading the specs, maybe this is for me....I'm 210 lbs , run 35 miles per week, knee and hip issues. Hoka made running fun. Put 3 quick miles on one evening, 3 the next morning. Horrible calf pain, maybe the drop is different than Cliftons, NO. Did another 4, 10k runs. Knees sore, hips sore, forefoot pain from a really stiff sole. I think these would be good for heel strikers. Not me. they are going back. They are not cushy at all like a clifton or bondi. And they are noticeable heavy in a size 12. I really wanted to love them, but they made me hate my runs.

Would be a good shoe if they made it wide enough. Once again it's a Hoka shoe that is too narrow in the toe box and they don't make a wide in this shoe. If it wasn't for this I probably would've kept them. I've never had to look at wides in any other brand of shoe. Constant issue with Hoka.

I purchased the shoes for long walks. Right out of the box these shoes were much too tight and very uncomfortable. I had to send the back. Maybe someday Hoka will realize that their shoes are too narrow!!! What exactly is the purpose of make a shoe that too narrow?
