Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

These are the most comfortable shoes I ever owned truly the best product out there. I was in the hospital for a week and I noticed eight out of 10 nurses wear them when I ask them why they told me they were the most comfortable shoes out there and I bought a pair and they were right if you love your feet, you would love this shoe.

The fit, cushion, and comfort are fantastic. The widened sole provides people with wide feet the ability to enjoy a very comfortable "ride in the clouds"!

Love the plush feel. Still walking in them to break them in, but looking forward to a run this weekend.

I thorough enjoy my HOKA Gaviota 5 shoes. They are supportable as well as very comfortable. There are none better!!

Really enjoy these shoes. They are perfect for walking and very comfortable. Provide stability these are my second pair of Hoka shoes and I will buy again

There was no breaking-in necessary, it felt natural the first wear and provides super support

Stand and walk on concrete 20 -25 hours a week.

Finally! The Gaviota I have known & loved is back in its original design!! Thank you! Interestingly enough, the Gaviota 5 is +1" longer than the Gaviota 3 (I skipped the Gaviota 4 as the sole was waaaaay too stiff!). I typically wear an 8.5 wide & had to exchange for an 8.

Use these for work and walking.

I wear my Gaviota 5's all day everyday as I work on my feet in the medical field. I am not much into spending money, and so my wife calls me cheap, but the money I pay for my Hoka's is definitely worth it and I view it as an investment in my foot health!

I have very flat and meaty feet. This pair fits perfectly on my feet without pinching my feet and I can move freely without any pain!

Much more comfortable. More stable.

I have owned and enjoyed the 2 previous versions of the Gaviota shoe, but this new 5 is the absolute best!! I have very flat feet and need support/stability and this truly delivers it all along with a bit more room in the toe box!! I've read several recent reviews were several saying they are highly disappointed?? I walk a lot and this version has more cushion and truly feels like I'm walking on a cloud. Give these a try, especially if your like me a person with flat feet looking for some comfort and support! Lastly, these feel true to size!

Soooo, it seems the toe box is no longer stupidly narrow and weirdly shaped. Muuuch wider fit, Muuuch better upper. New hotness H-Frame has far better stability than old-and-busted J-Frame. Never have I felt more stability from a shoe, ever. The nagnagnag biteybitebite of my sciatica is gone. Nada. Amazing! New midsole has the cushycushcush of tha Bondi, P-to-tha-LUSH! Not too much softness to compromise stability, but waaay more than needed to eliminate back, knee, neck pain from impact. Looks closer to a Bondi, less like, well the G3 and G4, um, let's leave it at they have great personalities. (The non-curbside appeal of that midsole must have been something before electricity.) But now this G5 is sexy-adjacent, with an even cuter personality! No, the shoes stay on. That'll do, Hoka. That'll do. Well done. Respect. And thank you for getting it riiight!

i have flat feet and over pronate. top notch comfort and stability. it doesn't have the J frame that the previous gaviota 4 had, it now has an H frame which works great. Also, lower back pain gone. highly recommend!

I have been a long time user of another running shoe brand. I was having issues with painful knees and ankles, bruising on my toes etc and decided to go get re-fitted. I was shown several shoes and ultimately decided on these. Game changer!

Juts picked these up. Feel good so far.

These are the best fit for my feet! Very comfortable because of the wide toe box!

This is the sixth pair of Hoka shoes for me. I have had foot and ankle surgery recently. I now only wear the Gaviota 5 for the needed stability support for my feet

Supportive comfortable walking shoes!

I would love to see more colors in the Gaviota. I would probably purchase more of them if there were more colors to choose from.

Only thing better than the actual shoes is the quick service

Very comfortable

I love the Gaviota support and comfort. I really wish the bright colors would come back to this model which is why I gave it a three rating

They fit great at a great price. Love my Hokas!
