Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

Great stability and comfort. I am 70 yrs old with metarsalgia. I use custom orthotics inserts and can walk and hike for miles without pain.

Was not really familiar with this brand, but my son is an athlete and he recommended these shoes for me to walk in. I have arthritis in my knee and ankle and these shoes really have great support and cushioning and allow me to walk farther than I could without them. Really nice quality and very attractive. I got the aqua color way.

My daughter loves these shoes, she had to have a second pair. Great quality, true to size and very comfortable.

This is the first shoe I have used since Nike, Brooks, and any other tennis shoes that has helped me with my plantar faceitis. I even buy the sandals in summer. Great product

These are so comfy. Extra cushion for a soft walk all day.

This is the best design for my wide feet that require stability and cushioning two years post tendon repair. A game changer after trying other models and brands. I do wish Hoka would offer more colors for women with wide feet. The options are very limited. I'm a 10 wide.

Don't get me wrong I adore my pairs of Arahi's but these Graviotas are also great for everyday walking and comfort. I have a flat foot so these are just perfect for me in the wide. I would love to see more cute colors sometime. Right out of the box no trouble getting used to them. Supportive and good cushion. I'm pleased with this purchase. Won't be my last. Give these a try.

I'm in a warehouse all day on concrete floors. I have bad feet, and I've spent hundreds on shoes. I bought a pair of Hokas last week and I'm in awe. They're amazing. You can't even tell there's a floor! I have wide feet and the toe room is wonderful. 1000/10 will buy again. Thank you!

It's been decades since I've been able to fit a cute women's sneaker! I was so excited to see my size available and ALSO, wide width! This color and style is soon cute to me! Stylist and comfortable. I got there for walking and errands. I have terrible flat feet, and even worse Achilles tendonitis on my left foot. I feel sturdy, and finally can walk normal, without a limp. Finally, balance and not putting all the weight and pressure on my right leg/foot due to unbearable pain on my left. I'm stilling getting used to them, I've only worn them twice. But the moment I got them on, it was magical!

Nice wide toe box, excellent stability actually surprising because it's plush. Great combo! Been wearing Stinsons (two pairs so far) and love them for outdoors but needed a less robust tread for indoors work etc. These shoes! My knees feel better as soon as I walked in them. Enough said. Me: a woman with wide feet and grumpy knees. Women's W in any shoe is limited so I wear men's regular width. Anyway, Immediately went to wait list for the color I prefer. Please do more warm colorways! Usually wear Birkenstock 40, Brooks 10.5, Mizz Mooz 41, Noat 40.

I bought these sneakers for Italy We walked all over Tuscany, and my feet didn't hurt at all! I was so comfortable, and the arch support is absolutely amazing and perfect. They're easy on and off, light, and easy to wear. #sneakers #Italy #Tuscany #comfort #archsupport #shoes #travel #footwear

Hi I'm new to the hoka family I got the wide version shoe after visiting the podiatrist, these shoes are the most comfortable I've ever had coming from on cloud shoes I feel like my feet can finally breath , they don't feel tired after a long day on my feet I can't wait for my second pair !! I definitely will recommend

The Gaviota 5 is a dream come true for someone with severe overpronation like me. Unlike my other Hokas, I didn't even need to insert my orthotic soles the built-in stability and cushioning were enough on their own. For the first time since my accident, I was able to run on the treadmill for 30 minutes pain-free, without extra support. The stability is incredible it gently corrects my foot alignment, keeps my knees steady, and feels soft yet secure underfoot. It's rare to find a shoe that offers both comfort and structured support without feeling heavy. The Gaviota 5 gave me something deeper than just comfort it gave me hope. After years of pain, I finally felt like I could run again.

Nice wide toe box on these ones after trying many other Hoka models that were far too narrow. Already purchased 2 pairs!

If you're looking for that roomy toebox this is the shoe for you. Bondi 8 or 9 doesn't have the room

I wore these shoes on a 20 day vacation to Turkey, Egypt and Jordan. Over 8k steps or more most days. The only time they left my feet was in the evening. My feet never hurt. The padding and stability made it easier to walk the terrain we covered airports, cobblestones, sand, stairs, etc.

I ordered one style because it was popular. I had recently hurt my ankle and decided a new shoe may help with my upcoming trip. But then I took the online evaluation and found this shoe would be better as a stabilizer for my trip to Europe with cobblestone streets and sidewalks. These looked 'funny', very wide in the toe, but were fabulous. We walked miles and miles each day and I felt very stable and my foot felt supported.

I tend to have metatarsalgia flareups so I was looking for a lower heel to toe drop, wider toe box shoe. The Men's 11 D fit perfectly. It has a stiffer forefoot and nice rocker. It doesn't feel clunky at all and works well for walking and long easy miles.

Walk, walk, walk...couldn't do it without my Hoka Gaviotas! Best shoes I've ever owned. No negatives.
