Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

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!

This sneakers gives my ankle the support it needs. I am able to walk 3-5 miles a day. I have had an ankle injury that has given me several metal plates and screws to put my ankle back together. I need a sneaker with good ankle support.n

Running, walking, everyday use.

I only wear HOKA's any more. In the past, I always had to order wide to accommodate my bunions. I can order regular width in these and they are perfect on my feet. I use them for walking and gardening. Great comfortable shoes. I do wish they had a bit more cushions. Men's shoes have so much more padding than womens.

Love love love these shoes. Love the fit and color.

Can you increase the length of the laces?

These shoes make me feel safe, as I have peripheral neuropathy, and so comfortable I walk more. I had the black with pink ties and this time got the blue colorful version, which cheers me up when I walk. Thanks for an exceptional produce!

My feet are a challenge.flat feet, plantar fasciitis, history of ingrown toe nails, over pronation & accessory navicular bones. I like to be active though. My feet aren't really wide, but I need extra toe box room. I usually have to get wide to accommodate that. The regular width on these is perfect. Lots of room in the toe box area. They feel great!

Great after my fascia release surgery. Great for my plantar fasciitis. Great for all my various foot/ankle problems due to my Ehlers Danlos. Heels slid for first few days when breaking them in. No more heel slide now!

Sper buenos

I am 69, still working and couldn't find a decent shoe. Spent 100's on all sorts of shoes to no avail. A friend told me to b try these. She can't wear them. They hurt her knees, but a she said people in her dental office wore them and were highly satisfied. She said sometimes people who buy hocus just can't wear them. But other people can and she told me about the 60-day return because of my age so I thought I'd try them. I work in a grocery store in my little hometown so I do a lot of standing and walking around. They are marvelous I absolutely love these shoes. The only other shoes I liked that could help me or a men's basketball shoe from Nike they don't sell anymore. The last garage sale I had I got rid of all my shoes that I bought that didn't help me. These I'm going to buy again and I might even buy another couple of different colors so I can go out with my friends sightseeing in different towns. Thank you Hoka for making such a wonderful shoe for such an old lady! I think what sold me was they asked if I had a wide foot and I said yes then they asked if I need extra cushioning and I said yes and then they asked if I needed a stabilizer and I said yes. That might be why some of you other people haven't had a good experience because you didn't get the whole experience.
