Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

I love the Bondi. But I really love the Gaviota 5. The wider toe area is wonderful for me and the cushion is amazing. I work all day in a busy retail environment with concrete floors. I'm 64 and I can go home with no foot, ankle or knee pain thanks to these shoes. In the last month I have purchased 2 pairs of Bondi 9s and 3 pairs of the Gaviota 5. And oh my goodness- I love the pink color Two pairs were purchased locally, I ordered one pair from the website, and my sisters sent me the 2 pink pairs for my birthday. Love these shoes!

My new favorite sneaker of all time. Fit is wonderful and footbed is extra comfortable. Plenty of room in the toe box. The shoelaces are the perfect size and they are the kind that stays tied. Oh ,and they delivered quickly.

I am a dentist and on my feet all day. Also 0ver 15 reconstruction procedures replaced both hips and left femur not only was leg saved but now walk with out even a cane. I never realized how much having the sneakers could make. Better than the orthotics I have. These sneakers are life changer. Can't thank you enough. Dr Brian ordered 2 more pair

I am obsessed with HOKA now that I have bought 5 pairs!! I'll never go back to competitor starts with N Thanks Hoka!!!=)

I have a fused ankle after a break and no reset, so the ankle is badly aligned and I over pronate. The first time I put on a pair of the G5s, I said to myself, where have you been all my life. Now the pain in the ankle is gone. I have arthritis in about over joint in my body, but with these shoes, I walk every day pain free, and with better posture.

I have severe nerve damage in one foot plus a fused ankle due to an accident and need a shoe that is stable, plush, and has plenty of room in the forefoot. The Gaviota 5 in wide are my go-to shoe because they are so comfortable even with my wonky foot! There is plenty of room to put in orthotics and the heel loops are a great help in getting them on. I wish that Hoka offers more colors in the wide sizes. On occasion you have them but usually they are only in shades of black and white. We live in a rural setting so I am not using my shoes on pavement, and the red clay just stains lighter colors so they are not wearable outside even to walk our dogs. I do clean them often but the repeated brushing with shoe soap pills the fabric over time. Please offer some darker but brighter colors like blues, greens, fushcia, or red in wide! I tried the Bondi 9 and Bondi SR since sometimes I need more cushioning but the new widths are just too narrow in the forefoot and pinch my arches so they don't work. Please do not discontinue the Gaviota 5, as they are your only stable and plush shoe now.

Great job holding foot in place, can work 10 hours or walk 5 plus miles with no pain. Expensive, but worth it.

HOKA GAVIOTA 5 (13 wide) survive my daily life on a ranch/runnin around the city/dealing with the numerous dogs at home/being the father of a 10yr son so I'm on my feet about 12hrs a day and these shoes stay so comfortable that they stay on til the bed is in view, which is an epiphany in and of itself and that being due to bunions crushing and mutating my feet for the past 10+ years, 10+ years of nothing but pain and agony with each step no matter what shoe worn. Putting these on my feet brought a smile to my face as well as a spring to my step! I am truly appreciative for this company and the attention to detail, the quality, all of it! My friends are checking the HOKA website for a pair! Thank you HOKA!

Very comfy!! Nice support with this sneaker !!!

This shoe is very comfortable and fits great

I am a pharmacist and those shoes are really great

My husband got these for a special trip to Vegas, lots of walking. He said these were the best shows he could have gotten, we also went dancing, so it is a great all around sneaker/shoe. These are his third pair.

I have Plantar Fasciitis and arthritis in my feet. These are great!

I got these for my boyfriend as he had been complaining that his feet/legs hurt after a full day of working. He let me know he feels much better and feels like he's walking on a pillow :)
