Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

Bought the Gaviota 5 as recommended for a comfortable shoe for working in the hospital setting. I love the color and the shoes are comfortable especially when standing in one area for lengths of time. I'm used to buying the Clifton 9, but like the Gaviota 5's too.

I have dealt with Bursitis in my fifth metatarsal for years and this is the only footwear that has made a difference. Very comfortable yet still built solid. Would recommend for people with foot issues or if you need a comfortable shoe in general.

I have Morton's neuroma and this shoe is a miracle. Wide toe box, very cushioning sole. It's a miracle shoe

These could be the most comfortable shoes I have. owned. I just had a knee replacement, and the extra cushioning has been an added plus during my recovery.

This is the best sneaker I have found to wear!!! I struggle w neuropathy and injury from the result of turf toe. I'm also on my feet 8-10 hrs a day grooming, so I need something w great support to provide for a pain free day. You will not go wrong in purchasing this shoe....your feet will thank you!

I wore these shoes for the first time today at work. They felt great on my feet working. I definitely noticed the difference.

I've purchased multiple styles from Hoka and the Gaviota 5 is by far my favorite! I have fairly wide and flat feet and needed something comfortable, but also supportive. These are both of those things!

I had foot surgery in February and non weight bearing for almost 3 months! I put this shoe on right out of the box and it was like a cloud. I had no break in period at all. I will be ordering another pair of these.

My feet require the stability that only the Hoka Gaviota can provide. I've been running/jogging/walking in the Hoka Gaviota for the past 4 years - I'm a super fan!

I thought I was wearing comfortable shoes but these really are amazing.

Great shoe just wish little less pricey

It's like walking in clouds!

Comfortable. Cushioned!

After trying several pairs of stability running shoes over the last year I have found that the Gaviota 5 and Stinson 7 H-Frame sole is one of the best stability shoes on the market. My feet feel great after a 3-4 mile walk in them. If I decide to run, I have total confidence in the support the midsole will provide. Hoka has made a great stride in the stability shoe market with the H-Frame. My wish would be for Hoka to be one of the first companies to make a stability shoe with a premium foam like PEBA. The foot feel of the Gaviota with the support of the H-Frame and a bouncier, more responsive foam would be an amazing shoe.

I have large (15) and extremely flat feet. At 67 and weighing in at 300lbs, my precious bark at me and the Gaviota quiets the bark better than a shock collar. I wear them daily and only ask them to make them in a dressier shoe. I will buy a dozen!

I supposed that this particular model is designed for running. Well, I used it for only walking and it was the best thing I could've done! My family and I walked and average of 15 miles for about a week in our vacation. This particular shoe was exactly what I needed for my painful feet. I enjoyed wearing them everywhere we went. This is my 1st time trying out this brand but, I can already say that I will buy them again. The comfort and support was a welcome package all in one pair of shoes! BTW. The star rating is not letting me pick 5 it keeps going back to 2?!

I walk daily and I love the bounce and cloud feeling of the Bondi9 and Skyflow, but the Gaviota 5 keeps my foot from ending up walking on the side. I do wish the Gaviota had more bounce but it is still a fantastic shoe!

After wearing my Gaviota 4's out, finally settled on for Gaviota 5, which initially thought I would, not like as well as the 4's. Surprisingly, the 5's are very comfortable and stable which I need. Have tried all other Hoka models rated as stabliity shoes and could not find any that felt right for me, so went with Gaviota 5 and after several days of wearing, know that was the best choice. Hoping they do make this shoe in updated color selections that seems to happen in other models. Chose the black again, which is fine but would like better colors that are not screamingly bright but more subdued for the summer season.

This is the 3rd pair of Hoka shoes I've worn and I love them. Very comfortable and highly recommended by my chiropractor.

I use them basically for walking and I walk 6 out of 7 days a week

They are so comfortable and if are on ur feet for most of the day these are for u. And their great for the gym too. However, wouldn't recommend thick socks with them.

Getting old is quite the experience. My left foot birthed a bunion last summer which is excruciating! I had to quit exercising because I couldn't find a shoe that didn't leave me limping in agonizing pain. My mom suggested I try Hoka's as they have helped her. Whew buddy I can walk without pain now! Definitely recommend to all my fellow bunion sufferers! Will buy again!
