Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota

The Gaviota is extremely comfortable on any surface while providing stability. I have worn Brooks Beast for many years, but was looking for a shoe to wear as a comparison shoe. The Gaviota compares favorably due to the additional cushion and softer, smoother running experience. I like both shoes, but I wear my Gaviota more often now.

I am a pretty avid fast walker and have had some issues with my feet (planters fasciitis). My Podiatrist gave me a prescription for a stability shoe. The Hoka One One Gaviota was one of three shoes the shoe salesperson brought out and it was the most comfortable one for me. Although the shoe felt a little tight across the top of my foot. I've never bought a wide shoe before, but tried the Gaviota in a wide and the fit is perfect. I feel like the regular shoes run a little smaller in width. I've had my shoes for 3 weeks, have walked a 5K and I average 10,000-15,000 steps per day in my regular walking. While my feet are still healing from planters fasciitis, these shoes have helped me return to my normal walking. I really love these shoes and my only complaint so far is that the wide shoes only come in two color combinations. I'd like to see all Hoka One One shoes come in wide in the full spectrum of color combinations. I would also like to see them come in solid white and solid black leather so they can be worn by people who work in jobs with dress codes. Even if these are by special order, this would be of great benefit to customers and provide higher sales volume.

I got this shoe for long distance training. I've had these for about 3 weeks now and run about 40-60 miles a week and enjoy this cushioned shoe with every mile. I really like how light they are and the "3D Puff Print Frame for Additional Lightweight, and Detailed Support" they provide. Also like how the RMAT J-Frame offers great support, awesome rebound and exceptional durability during my runs.

Please remove pop-ups from my IP address. I have been bragging to enough people that you should get more sales from this area of the country.

I am on my feet 7 hours for work. These shoes save me

Need stability shoes and these work well in that department. Overall good shoes for running

Most comfortable shoe I have ever used for running. This is my 2nd pair.

First Hoka one one shoe and I am sold. Never have a worn a shoe soo comfortable,

I use them for every day wear. So light and comfortable

Gave these as a gift. Receiver stated "They are a dream. I am sold on Hoka." He was previously a user of New Balance. "These Hokas are superior."

Very comfortable running shoe.

The Hoka One One Gaviota is the very best stability shoe! It is a the most responsive, lightweight stability running shoe. It is a good-looking shoe that offers excellent breathability. It has a wider forefoot and secure heel. It provides a great combination of cushioning and stability. This shoe offers a good balance of support and cushion. The forefoot is roomy and the heel held my foot perfectly. If you want a motion/stability shoe, the Hoka Gaviota is the very best! The wider forefoot and responsive feel make this a great shoe for daily or long runs.

I use to workout at the gym. Weights and treadmill.

My go-to shoe for many years was the Mizuno Nirvana, and I am thrilled to have finally found a replacement I love. Plenty of room for my insert, good stability and cushioning.

I work on cement floors and these shoes are like walking on a cloud!

35 years of running, Best shoe I've run in.

Outstanding dynamic stability from heel strike through toe off with excellent frontal plane motion control. Appreciate exceptional cushioning over the firmer Arahi. As a Podiatrist I have become a big fan of Hoka and include Hoka shoes for recommendation to my patients when appropriate.

Have about 80 miles on these so far. Cushioning is really nice and have a good durable feel. Light considering the amount of EVA. They do run on the narrow side but that is OK for me.

Love the wide toe box and cushioning

Best running shoes!

Most comfortable shoes to run in.

Using this shoe for high intensity interval training classes and walking/running. Bought it for stability as I have flat feet and history of fracture. Absolutely one of the most stable and comfortable shoe I've owned. Is very responsive in my classes. Plan to get another pair.

These shoes are light and very responsive. Plenty of cushioning for long runs.

Let's start with size. I've worn ASICS nimbus 11-4E and am now on my 5th pair of hokas I started with the size 11 Bondi 4 wide, great shoe, the bondi 5 wide and now the Gaviota 11-wide. The bondi 5 was more snug than the 4 and the Gaviota has the most room of all 3. I wear the new balance ipr 3030 wide insert and I still have ample room in the Gaviota. These are not as plush as the Bondi, but what is. I picked them up around 10am on Friday and wore them around the rest of the day for a break in. Saturday morning at 7am I ran 15. The shoes are comfortable and are ready to go out of the box. These provide a much more stable platform than the Bondi but obviously lack that plush feel. If you are looking to transition to a more cushioned shoe that also provides stability, look no further the the Gaviota.
