Comfortable and stable
Plush, comfortable and stable. Gaviota 6 is the only Hoka shoe that I have tried where I can wear the standard width rather than the wide version due to its accommodating forefoot. This would be a great shoe for anyone who needs stability and is on their feet all day. If you have a narrow, straight foot, this might not be the best fit, but for my feet, which are wide across the ball of my foot (like where a bunion would be) and normal width everywhere else with a high instep and collapsing/flexible high arches, these are great.
Yes , I recommend this product

Not for me.
This shoe is not for me. The footbed seemed to curve inward too much along the Medial
Longitudinal Arch. It felt like my inner side arch was unsupported and it was uncomfortable. I returned them. Went with the Brooks Ghost Max 3 instead.
No, I do not recommend this product

Goviota - amazing shoe.
Bought this shoe for my 21 year old daughter who has foot issues. She loves the shoe and they are so comfortable. Her ankles don’t hurt and the support is great.

Super comfortable shoe!
Yes , I recommend this product
These shoes are super comfortable and have great support. I also love the wide toe box. They look like a lot of shoe, but they are just what I need for my weak ankles and flat feet. I could wear them all day!

Comfortable sneaker
Yes , I recommend this product
Unsure of size I called and spoke with Hoka representative who told me the toe box was wide so I should order my regular shoe size and did not need wide. First ordered 6.5 M and it was too tight. I reordered 6.5 W and it was a perfect fit. These sneakers are true to size and very comfortable.
