Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

The sizing is wrong on this shoe. The right shoe was clearly more narrow than the left shoe. Left shoe was great and supportive. Right shoe was tight and measured about 1/4 more narrow. To bad because I loved the look and feel of the left shoe. I have many pairs of Hoka shoes and have never had this problem.

The new Graviata 5 has No resemblance of fit to prior models. This new last is much wider and sloppy fitting. I never return purchases but after wearing the shoe for two days my feet were a wreck.

The shoes I bought are cheap, seams are blown out not even a week in. Poor quality for an expensive running shoe

Hoka was recommended by my podiatrist. He felt that the HOKA shoe offered superior support and, more importantly, cushioning for the bottom of my feet. This shoe did not live up to the recommendation.

I was hoping this would be the answer to my sore feet however they were 2 weeks late on shipment an do not fit well.

They broke the top part started coming off 5 days in

I thought the Gaviota 4 was the perfect shoe. The upgrade to 5 is just awful. After wearing them for three days, it's obvious the fundamental design of this shoe has changed too much. And that's really too bad.

I have never in my entire 47 years have had sneakers give me calluses. When the package was delivered the sneakers were almost "melted" due to the heat of the fed ex truck. Not sure if this had an effect on the sneakers but do not spend 175!!

The Hoka Gaviotahas been my 'go to' shoe. I have 4 pairs and it is the only shoe I can comfortably walk in for long distances. When I received my new Gaviota 5 shoe, I was shocked to see that the toe box was soooo wide that only feet shaped like a duck would fit the shoe. I could have fitted 2-3 more toes in there and still had room. The shoe is ruined for me now and guess I'll have to look elsewhere for a new brand.
