Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

First time buying Hokas. They feel great! Lots of support and toe box room.

The fit is outstanding and the level of support is unparalleled. It is a great shoe for everyday running and other activities.

Its a comfortable shoe just wish it came in a 13 1/2.

I can walk further with little or no back pain with this style shoe. I have other Hoka models but for me this is the best. I just wish you would more beige colors

Son likes them. He does long slow runs to maintain fitness for Army requirements. Surfaces are hard; pavement, asphalt, sidewalks. I am a previous devotee of the 70's - 80's era who did a variety of running on varying surfaces and came to actually suffer the long-term overuse injuries associated with that "healthy" lifestyle of running. My joints began to dictate physical limits and eventual retirement from running. It simply is not for every body type, mine especially, so I changed to swimming, surfing, cycling, and hiking. My son has chosen to incorporate running into his fitness routine, so based on my experience, I told him of my experience and bought him the best supportive and over built cushioning running shoes currently available. The Hoka Gaviota. He likes them so far. We'll see how they perform and hold up over time. Ample cushioning. He wears wides, but these were advertised as having a generous toe box, so we went with the normal D-width and they are perfect. Consider that before buying as you may find the wides too large. Cannot verify durability and fitment over time because he has only one week in them so far. Hope this helps.

I use them in the gym and they are very comfortable

These are very comfortable shoes. I have plenty of toe room. And I like my color of the shoe that I picked.

Very comfortable! I wear them at the Disney Parks!

These shoes are great for everyday use, so comfortable! Love them!

Have tried several HOKA shoes and this is the most comfortable and cushioned of all I have tried. Think this is my go to shoe now!

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
