Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

Best ever shoes by comfort

Great support and cushioning! These shoes last about twice as long as the other brands. I run 20-25 miles a week. These are my fifth pair of this model.

I walk or run every day. I need to keep my shoes in good condition. My Gaviota 5 have been the best that I have ever used.

EVERYDAY WEAR. THEY ARE VERY COMFORTABLE AND GREAT FOR MY FEET AND LOWER BACK AFTER HOURS OF BEING ON MY FEET.

Very comfortable walking. I am a satisfied customer!

Great shoe. Awesome colors. Great support

I bought my 2nd pair to extend the life of my original pair. I need a shoe with a wide toe box to deal with neuropathy and these are the most comfortable I've found. Also the most durable. My normal shoe size is 11 but I wear 11-1/2 in the Hoka to ensure the comfort of my feet.. The shoes are like walking on pillows! Buy them!

I have been having such a hard time finding sneakers! I have been struggling with plantar fasciitis and foot pain but no pain when I am wearing these!!!! They also look really great on!!

Pleased with the shoes enough to order another pair.

Purchased Hoka Gaviota 5 shoes for my first pair of Hoka shoes. Comfortable, seems well made and perfect fit. Will be a repeat customer. Highly recommended.

I work as an officer for TSA and am on my feet for many hours a day. I had leg fatigue and pains after working a shift daily until I bought these shoes. They have helped me work better and pain free. Highly recommend.

I love a company that delivers what it promises! The Hoka shoe people know how to meet the many needs of their clients. I am a Gaviota fan. This shoe gives me all the cushion, support and comfort I need.

Over the past year I have purchased three pairs of men's Gaviota 5 shoes after trying Bondi and Clifton 9 GTX. I am a mature woman with wide feet, and the features of stable support and plush cushioning in combination with a generous toe box make this style the perfect one for my needs, which are specific: I broke the fifth metatarsal in both feet and now have increasing osteoarthritis in those areas. I have developed bunions on both big toe joints. And recovery from a knee replacement last year has been slow. Unlike some athletic shoes, the Gaviota 5 keeps my foot flat without pitching me forward with a too high heel. The extra wide sole at the ball of foot and heel helps me feel more stable and less likely to accidentally roll and re-injure my feet. These shoes are more clunky than sleek in appearance, but for me, sensible and safe shoes are critical. The true test of function was that I was even able to hike up to the top of the Acropolis in Athens wearing a pair of Gaviota 5. I have only praise for the comfort and stability of these shoes!

Bought as 2nd pair, great all day walker

Walking in these shoes have done wonders for my knee pain. I know it may not be the perfect fit for everyone but just know that these are comfortable shoes, lightweight and great support for my feet, knees and most important, stability.

2nd pair and went with all black this time. This shoe fits perfect for a 13D width without squeezing the sides of my foot and still have support for walking.

Great for walking, light hiking and everyday use easy on the feet.

My second pair of Gaviota 5s.. For comfort and stability this a great shoe!

The toe box is an incredible improvement over the previous generation. The cushion is more cushiony and offers much more responsiveness. I love the H-Frame for stability, it hugs my foot. I was another pair of these! My only worry is how quickly the outsole will wear out, but overall the shoe is fantastic.

VERY happy with fit. Watched more than 1yr which Hoka suit me. Found Gaviota men's fit my woman size 11 (men 9.5) so comfortably there's no break in period. On sale and a neutral color to start. BONDI 8 airy blue very popular, hard to find in larger sizes. Bought women 11. Men equivalent size is shorter/wider where women longer tapered more. Have now ordered Stinson 7 in primrose men's bc like the fit and shorter rounded toe. If you're on the fence about buying Hoka, try em. Was a Nike fan for decades & dropped em for their politics. Have many Under Armor, Reebok, & think Hoka maybe "the one" for me from now on. Will watch for sales. Kinda like some of the color combos.
