Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

I'm on my feet all day, retail store owner, this is my 3rd pair of Hoka shoes, first pair @2yrs old finally ripped out. Best shoes I've tried and I believe I've tried them all, thank you Hoka!!

The Gaviota 5 is my first stability shoe and my feet and legs have needed time and effort to adjust. They are becoming very comfortable, stable, and supportive.

The best things on my feet in years! I have recurring pain in an ankle. I had surgery, numerous doctor visits, etc. These shoes finally allow me to safely and comfortably walk for at least 40 minutes with a smile!

I walk for one hour almost every day. I am a senior citizen. These Hokas are great, very comfortable with excellent stability. I didn't know I needed stability until I tried these shoes and found out what a difference it made. I am a convert to Hoka.

used for walking

He's on his feet a lot on hard surface. First day loved them!

Out of all the different pairs of Hoka I have, these are the most comfortable. Wide toebox I guess. But still I love these

The shoe is comfortable. The one thing that I'm not so happy with is how wide they look. I wear a regular size but these are just so overly wide tread towards the front . Almost like clown size. Still comfortable!!!

These quality sneakers are the very best I've had in my 60 plus years of life! The walk is fantastic and the weight is great! They are my favorite.

I'm a tall, 225 lb, middle aged dude. I am attempting-to stick to running every other day simply to manage weight. No plans of racing or doing events, past regular weekly exercise. Was running in Brooks previously, and don't dislike them at all. But the pair I had was up to over 400 miles and needed to be replaced & I couldn't find my size. So I tried a different new brand. My findings were that I can run longer, with less joint discomfort and I am actually looking forward to the running days. There is a plush cushy feeling. Yet directly under the arch, it is supported. Stiff or "stable" where you need it to be, and yet with this nice soft bounce where you also need it. The shoe rolls forward, kind of propelling you off your toes, naturally. Where before I ran simply for maintenance: not really enjoying it. Now: it's (dare I say) enjoyable. I'll buy another pair when these are worn out.

I need maximum support and cushion for flat feet. Gaviota is the best shoes I have found to get both.

Im a nurse, and work on my feet alot. These are like walking on clouds. At the end of a hard shift my feet are not killing me.

I bought shoes mainly for walking. So far it's been very comfortable. I'm on my second pair.

True fit and extremely comfortable. May be even more cushy than the Cliftons and the Bondis that I own. The uppers are very stretchy, if tightness is an issue for you.

Excellent

This style is the most amazing fit I've ever had. I have a flat foot and the arches are just perfect . From the first time I put them on they were very comfortable

I use the product for daily outdoor walking exercise , 2-4 miles per day . Very comfortable !

Over the years, I have worn many brands of running/walking shoes, and Hokas are the most comfortable of them all, with more cushioning and roominess for my feet. This helps my ankles and knees.

Very stable.

I have found the shoe that really works for me!

This is my second pair of Gaviota 5's. I gave up on the Gaviota's on V3 and stuck with Bondi's, but the Gaviota 5 changed my mind. The Gaviota 5 is plush like the Bondi, and trades the molded heel counter in the Bondi for more heel flexibility but overall stability. Bondi 8's are my daily wear (aka work), Gaviota 5's go to the gym and anytime I will be active. Gaviota's in bright, fun colors haven't existed before, so I jumped when I saw these in "Solar Flare/Sherbert" (aka bright orange).

These are the only shoes that I can comfortably work 10, 12, 14 hours in! I come home and my feet aren't even sore!!! I will literally buy these forever as long as they keep making it!!!
