Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

Everything people told me about Hoka is true great shoe!

fast pace walking ...well balanced shoes and great cushion

Extremely comfortable

I feel this is a good change from using other sneakers. Comfort!!!!!

I have several different models of Hokas. The Gaviota and Arahi are my two favorite for everyday wear and for the gym. The Gaviota 5 felt a little weird at first under my right arch, but I quickly acclimated to it. It is softer in the heel than the Arahi for those days where I want a little extra cushion. I rotate between the two a lot.

This my third pair and will buy more

fits great 11.5 2ee is my size, need more colors at this size, gray or navy?

The shoes were brand new, and I never got a blister, sore spot, or any leg/back discomfort.

I love these sneakers. I have never put something on my feet and felt this much support and comfort. I am 6ft and 400 pounds and they are the BEST. I feel like I can do anything in them. They are crazy amazing and I am going to buy another pair. WORTH EVERY CENT! The only thing I would give a low rating is that the woman's sizing doesn't go higher. I am a 12 on woman's and I had to pick a men's shoe which omitted so many color choices !

Great shoe for walking and running. Great support and impact amelioration. I normally get 2E width, but these fell great in regular (D) width.

I stand/walk 13 miles every weekend when I work in retail. I traditionally only get Nikes. I needed comfort, these SNEAKERS are the MOST COMFORTABLE I'VE EVER HAD. EVER 2023!!!! light enough and comfortable. More comfortable than my slides

Very comfortable! Takes a few days to get used to them but I'm solid now. Already looking at getting another pair of HOJA's.

I LOVE these shoes!!!

Exercise (brisk) walking on roadway

I'm 70 years old with a bad ankle and artificial hip. This shoe gives me the cushion I need but is stable for my ankle.

Really liked Gaviota 2 and 3 but did not purchase because the toe-box was too narrow. The 4's had a wider toe-box, which was great. The 5's boast an even wider toe-box than the 4's, although not too wide. All new H-frame design seems to do what it is supposed to correct overpronation without overcorrecting natural gait. The 5's also seem a little more responsive and cushioned than the 4's. On the flip, the 4's appear to have more arch support and more of the "rocker" feel that Hoka is known for. To each his own on their preferred model, yet I think the 5's are the best yet.

I use Hoka for everyday walking

Love it. Very comfortable and stable. I have sever balance issssues and this is a game changer for me.

Got these for my son. He is a type 1 diabetic and has feet issues. He has orthotics that were made for his feet but they still hurt. As soon as he stepped in to these Hoka shoes, he says he instantly felt a difference. He loves these shoes and wants more Hoka's. These really are great shoes!!

Perfect coushion

Made a big difference.

These shoes are what I've been looking for: plush, stable, and available in wide sizes. I'd enjoyed the Clifton and Bondi, but always hoped there would be something similar in a stability shoe. The Gaviota 5 fits those criteria, and is a better shoe for me. I'm so glad I tried it out.

I bought these for m husband, it's his first time wearing Hokas and loves them

I'm on my feet all day working in the OR and I needed a shoe that would give me all day comfort. So happy with my purchase!
