Excellent blend of support with max cushioning. (Often support shoes are not cushioned enough for my foot and knee issues, but these are)!

This shoe was recommended by my podiatrist. I have a condition called Morton’s toe. A wide toe box is a must the my condition. Even though the shoe is great, I still added an orthotic.

I forgot how great fresh cushioning feels! I have 2 older pairs of this model that are worn out. These are perfect and cute colors!

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!

I have several pair of Gaviattas as they fit perfectly and the wide toe box relieves any toe problems. The fabric of the shoe and the laces do not stretch out.

Hoka Gaviota are the best shoes I have ever worn! I have had 5 or 6 pairs over the past several years. I love them! Great if you have foot problems.

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!

LOVE! I had Hokas before but these are my first Gaviotas. The antipronation is just what I needed. these are exquisitely supportive and comfortable right out of the box, and the styling is awesome. My plantar fasciitis flares up when I wear less supportive shoes and my feet are immediately soothed in this sneakers. Look great, feel great. My new fave sneaker and I have tried them all.

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 never review anything online but this time I just had to do it. After years of trying to find the best sneaker for a variety of feet issues which included, among others, a couple of hairline broken bones and neuropathy from chemotherapy years before, I followed the recommendation of a HOKA employee who suggested I try the Gaviota 5. What a difference! My right foot doesn’t swell anymore nor do I feel that pain and uncomfortable sensation which I have felt for years. I’m planning on buying another pair in a different color and donating all my other sneakers. I’ll be forever grateful to the lady who recommended the Gaviota 5.

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

After reading reviews, I decided to take a chance and order the regular width. My feet are med-wd in the toe box, yet my heels are narrow, so often the wide widths cause slipping in the heel. I also have hallux limitus in both great toes, and am prone to plantar fasciitis, along with high arches and overpronation. These shoes are so comfortable I could sleep in them! They are supportive without feeling clunky or restrictive, and add a bounce to my step.

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!
