Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

These are perfect, for me. I need something stable but comfortable. I've bought this style once in the 4 and now twice in the 5. My feet have always been achy in other shoes, but not these! I can wear them all day long and they have not once been achy or sore at the end of the day.

I love these shoes. They have saved my feet from so much pain since I was told I had Plantar fasciitis. They are worth the money spent. Now with no pain I just keep buying them because I would rather not have problems later. The look is also cute.

I'm on my second knee replacement and bought my first pair of Hoka shoes and am amazed how all the stress on my joints are relieved when wearing them. Comfort, support, stability and nice looking. I'm hooked!

Very light and comfortable. IMO, the first time wearing them felt like they fit the way a new pair of running shoes should... just right!!

I've went through about 3 pairs of Bondi before finding these. I underpronate, and the height on the Bondi made me prone to rolling my ankle in them. The Gaviota adds the perfect amount of stability that prevents this from happening with the same cushion as the Bondi. These are so comfortable!! Please don't ever stop making these.

My feet happy after 23hrs shifts

I have pairs of Clifton 6, Bondi, 7, and Gaviota 4. Just bought a pair of Gaviota 5s and holy cow are these the best shoes ever! I really thought the toe box was small on the Gaviota 4s but Hoka has improved this on the Gaviota 5s! I hope they come out with more colors. I would totally buy more and put them in my closet for the future. I bought the anchor/grapefruit. FIRST PAIR OF HOKAS THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO BREAK IN! The evening sky/coral is out of stock in my size. Would love a pair of the citrus glow/sunlit ocean but not sure if they come in wides. OMG get these shoes. I am not a runner. I just use them for everyday use and walking. I love that I can actually fit my orthotics in these shoes and don't have to take out the shoe insert. LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE GAVIOTA 5s!!!

So far so good

I work as an Equipment Technician in South Florida and I walk everywhere throughout the hospital. I was using Saucony and Brooks prior, both of those brands of shoes my feet would continuously hurt after a few hours. I can walk 15,000 steps a day in these shoes and afterwards my feet aren't tired or sore. Being that my job requires me to have non slip shoes and comfort shoes, these are the best. Waterproof is even better in the setting I am in. Hoka has a loyal customer, thats the only brand of shoes I will buy now

Comfortable and great to work out in.

Amazing support and comfort! One of the best purchases I've made for myself

I know these sneakers were meant for running, but I wear them to work and walk a lot. These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. They were worth every penny.

Great comfort with more cushion than my Clifton's and more stability than my Bondi's.

Perfect! Best shoes ever! Are comfortable, and delivery was great !

I absolutely love these shoes I've had 5 midfoot fusion surgeries on my foot and nothing was helping me with my pain while walking but I bought these and these were fantastic!!!! 10/10 recommend!

I have had issues before and I am re-purchasing them for the third time. I really enjoy the shoe. The tow box is super wide and my feet never felt like they were cramped, uncomfortable, hot, or that my toes couldn't spread out when I was walking on my feet. I actually wore them for the first time the other night and was on my feet during a really bad trauma and my feet never got tired. The support is really great as well. I felt like my feet legs and calves after the shift we're not exhausted and I didn't have any Charlie horses, I would definitely recommend this to a friend or any nurse that's getting into the medical field that is going to be on their feet for an extended period of time, it gives you the right support and the colors are really cute and they look really cute on you as well. I would definitely recommend this to any nurses out there that are debating on getting this shoe I personally like the shoe better than a lot of the other brands that nurses buy.

I recently tried the new saucony hurricanes and about 2 miles in my feet were on fire. Exchanged those for the Gaviotas and wow what a difference. Just ran 4 miles and no foot pain whatsoever. Also, that was the first time I've been able to run 4 miles in a while. I love these shoes.

I'm retired. I'm on my feet half of my day. I have a couple of problems with one foot, as well as a balance issue following a stroke. I feel much more stable with this style. I was wearing Arahi because of the J frame. It's very satisfactory. But now for my feet, I prefer the Gaviota 5. I always choose a dark fabric because it is aesthetically better for my size 11 feet.

From someone who has arthritis in both his knees these sneakers are quite possibly the most comfortable sneakers I've ever worn Without them I seriously doubt I'll be able to do a 5K

Just a little wide, but definitely the best shoe's I've ever worn.

I've loved Hokas since 2018, these are by far my favorite. I love the cushion, I love how stable I feel.

These shows support me perfectly. It's like walking on clouds! I have flatter feet and require more arch support. These shoes do the trick. I sized up by a half and they fit great! I would like to try the Bondis in comparison in the future.

LOVE MY NEW HOKAS. WILL BE GREAT FOR WALKING

This is my third pair of HOKA shoes. They seem to never disappoint
