Hoka One One W Gaviota 6 Birch/Yellow Gold

really cannot write because just got them. wait six weeks

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.

This year’s model of the Gaviota 6 felt very stiff and firm compared to last years Gaviota 5 I was really hoping they would break in after a few times wearing them, but so far they’re terrible. I’m going to have to. find a new shoe unfortunately all the previous years version are sold out everywhere. I feel that this year’s version is an absolute dud.

I love the feels amazing I bought a second pair in the same week stand a lot at work so my feet feel great with these shoes on

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.
