Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

I wore out my first pair so I had to buy a second pair because I love them so much! My first pair I've had for almost 3 years, but I wear them to work and work 12 1/2 hour shifts in nursing!!

I have been a Hoka girl since 2018. They were recommended by my brilliant physical therapist. I am on my feet sometimes 14 hours a day. I used to wear the Bondi's. I don't know why I developed horrible pain in my left foot due to multiple fractures. Since then the Bondi's have gone from my favorite shoe to the most uncomfortable shoe. I went to a store near me called Peter Glen. I told the salesman exactly what was wrong and he suggested the Graviota. To my surprise, they are super comfortable. Worn them 2 days in a row and my feet are no longer "barking". They are lighter and provide more stability. I don't even need my orthopedic inserts to make them more comfortable! I have used those inserts for YEARS. No more! This shoe is saving my life. I work in a hospital and medical office. I give these shoes 2 thumbs up! They are a G-d send. Never discontinue this model!

I have been looking at HOKA's for a while and finally bought my first pair and I love them. I didn't need any break in period at all. Out of the box and out for a walk!

These are great for balance issues and all around comfort. Plus they are so lightweight!

these shoes are so comfortable. they have a spacious toe box, lots of cushion and support, and super cute!!

I have had several pair of Hokas. But these have been my favorite. I loved them so much I bought a second pair before the color is discontinued.

The first pair shipped unfortunatley had quality flaws, which can honestly happen. Nothing is 100% all of the time. Yet, for the price and what we expect from Hoka I exchanged for replacement pair, The second pair was exactly what I am use to getting from Hoka. Great quality, no shoe manufacturing errors. Hence the sole glue and manufacturing issues on the mesh frabric were free from defects and just a great shoe.

The Hoka's were great right out of the box

great shoes that are very confortable and give great support to those like me how very flat feet.

This is my husbands second pair. The first pair I got him for Christmas this past December. He loved them, but because he works in a hospital he leaves them there. So I got a second pair and he wears nothing else. Not even the orthopedics that were measured for his feet.

I have a lot of trouble finding sneakers that fit well. This shoe's wider toe bed is the perfect answer for me. There is a ton of support as I supinate, yet it's a light sneaker, meshed. I bought them in two colors!

Love this but I'm super inlove with my bondis still

These shoes are incredibly comfortable for doing my day-to-day life. I'm not really an athlete, but need good supportive shoes for work and just life activities. These dill that role beautifully! Not only that the colors are very cute!

I wouldn't say I have a wide foot but I have to be careful not to develop bunions as my foot shape is prone to it. These shoes have a roomy toe box and were instantly comfortable the moment I put them on. I bought the blue pair and get a lot of compliments. I'm looking for a second pair.

And have really helped with my shin and calf pain

On my feet for 8 hours a day cooking and delivering food to customers. I can definitely say these are extremely comfortable. No more sre back and knees. Hopefully they will not discontinue the giovata 5 this is the third pair I have purchased and I love them!

LOVE my new HOKAs!!! The fit is fabulous, perfect for my feet for walking and standing on my feet all day. I appreciate the cush, the colors and the lightweightness of this product. These were a gift to me from my sister, the second pair she bought for me and I love them so much!

I just purchased my second pair of these. I've never worn a more comfortable, supportive shoe in my life. I'm in my 30's and have always struggled with footwear due to high arches. I end up compensating without realizing it and have dealt with achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and even knee and hip pain as a result. But in these, I can walk as long and as far as I please with not even a twinge of discomfort. They're pricey, but the ability to consistently move without pain is more than worth it.

Very comfortable walking shoes

I love it I can feel the difference

Previously used "responsive" with minimal stability. I tried this (high stability and plush) and my knee and foot paint went away!

I love the Gaviota5, and I got it accidentally. My wife had gotten a pair and was raving about how comfortable they were. I had gotten a new different style for myself but didn't like the way they felt, so I gave the G5 a shot. The rest is history This is my second pair and they really are comfortable! I have an ankle that is pretty much fused from an old high school football incident. When your foot doesn't go up & down, it causes problems with your other leg, hip, etc. Anyway, since I've been wearing the G5, my back & hip pain is significantly lower, I can walk much easier & I can stand more comfortably for longer periods of time. I hope I will be able to get the G5 for the rest of my life!

Recent double knee surgery. Always wore Hoka for running but for now these are perfect for balance and stability!

I've tried a few HOKAs (and even Brooks) for my high arches, and none of them worked. Now that I have tried Gaviota 5s, I won't be buying any others! These are great!
