Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

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.

This is hands-down, the most comfortable shoe that I've ever worn that blends comfort and stability. 5/5

Love the Gaviota 5. Initially tried for the support and it was great! Top notch comfort and now have 5 pairs

I work in the medical field and these shoes are by far my favorite! I have very flat feet and over-pronate. I can actually get these shoes in my exact size 10.5 wide and love how "plush" they are. I literally feel like I'm walking on clouds all day long. Totally worth the money! I have multiple pairs and highly recommend!

I purchased these on a recommendation from a friend. I stand at work all day and usually walk 10 miles while there. I have MS and have leg and back issues. These shoe have stopped my back and leg pain after only wearing them one day. I would highly recommend them to anyone with sore feet and back pain.

Earlier this year, I left a review stating this pair of shoes would be my first and last pair of Hokas. I bought them for a trip to Europe but didn't wear them very much before my trip, and they were sooo uncomfortable walking 20,000 steps per day. Well, not breaking them in was a bad idea. Just like a pair of progressive lenses, I forced myself to wear these shoes because they were very expensive. Eventually, the soles molded to my feet. The cushioning is so plush, they've become a great pair of walking shoes. Strangely, they're not the most comfortable shoes for standing still at bowling tournaments all day, but they're great for walking. I plan to purchase Hokas again when this pair wears out.

Finally! A pair of shoes with plenty of room around the toes! I love them!
