I work as an Equipment Technician in South Florida and I walk everywhere throughout the hospital. I was using Saucony and Brooks prior, both of those brands of shoes my feet would continuously hurt after a few hours. I can walk 15,000 steps a day in these shoes and afterwards my feet aren't tired or sore.
Being that my job requires me to have non slip shoes and comfort shoes, these are the best. Waterproof is even better in the setting I am in. Hoka has a loyal customer, thats the only brand of shoes I will buy now

I know these sneakers were meant for running, but I wear them to work and walk a lot. These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. They were worth every penny.

Great comfort with more cushion than my Clifton's and more stability than my Bondi's.

Decided to try these after reading that the new Bondi 9 is narrower in the toe box than previous Bondis have been. I have been wearing the Bondi for years, through many slight changes in it. Ordered the Gaviota and the new Bondi 9 to compare. Gaviota is definitely wider in the toe box but not as cushy underfoot. The Bondi 9 still worked great for me. Guess I’m just a Bondi girl!

It’s sad to say that I love this shoe but it hates me. My feet are so comfortable but my hip is so bad I can barely walk. It started hurting when I started wearing these shoes regularly so I’m pretty sure it’s the shoe. The shoe itself is very roomy in the toe box but doesn’t slip off my narrow heel. It is very supportive and equally cushiony so I’m sure it will be a great shoe for other people, just not me.

I absolutely love these shoes I've had 5 midfoot fusion surgeries on my foot and nothing was helping me with my pain while walking but I bought these and these were fantastic!!!! 10/10 recommend!

I have had issues before and I am re-purchasing them for the third time. I really enjoy the shoe. The tow box is super wide and my feet never felt like they were cramped, uncomfortable, hot, or that my toes couldn't spread out when I was walking on my feet. I actually wore them for the first time the other night and was on my feet during a really bad trauma and my feet never got tired. The support is really great as well. I felt like my feet legs and calves after the shift we're not exhausted and I didn't have any Charlie horses, I would definitely recommend this to a friend or any nurse that's getting into the medical field that is going to be on their feet for an extended period of time, it gives you the right support and the colors are really cute and they look really cute on you as well. I would definitely recommend this to any nurses out there that are debating on getting this shoe I personally like the shoe better than a lot of the other brands that nurses buy.

I recently tried the new saucony hurricanes and about 2 miles in my feet were on fire. Exchanged those for the Gaviotas and wow what a difference. Just ran 4 miles and no foot pain whatsoever. Also, that was the first time I've been able to run 4 miles in a while. I love these shoes.

I'm retired. I'm on my feet half of my day. I have a couple of problems with one foot, as well as a balance issue following a stroke. I feel much more stable with this style. I was wearing Arahi because of the J frame. It's very satisfactory. But now for my feet, I prefer the Gaviota 5. I always choose a dark fabric because it is aesthetically better for my size 11 feet.

If you have wide feet, this is the shoe for you. I originally ordered wide, but they were too wide. So I re-ordered the regular width and they are perfect. I wore them working a conference exhibit hall, and was on my feet for 10 hours a day. My feet were less sore than wearing my Sketchers at the end of the day! Win for me for sure. No break-in time; I wore them running errands once before wearing them for work. No blisters!

From someone who has arthritis in both his knees these sneakers are quite possibly the most comfortable sneakers I've ever worn Without them I seriously doubt I'll be able to do a 5K

I've loved Hokas since 2018, these are by far my favorite.
I love the cushion, I love how stable I feel.

These shows support me perfectly. It's like walking on clouds! I have flatter feet and require more arch support. These shoes do the trick. I sized up by a half and they fit great! I would like to try the Bondis in comparison in the future.

Gaviota is a godsend for my feet. Even my podiatrist is impressed PLEASE offer more bright colors in Gaviota. I have the Citrus. Would purchase two more pair if colors were available. But I did purchase the new sandal!

I've been looking for a fit similar to the sadly-discontinued Bondi 8 and am happy with the Gaviotta 5. Appreciate that it has the loop in the back, the sole doesn't flare out as much and the fabric seems to breathe more which will be great during the summer.

Though it does take a few wears to break, these shoes are literally my favorite to run errands in and also to workout in. They are SO comfy, 10/10 would recommend!

I have been wearing these shoes for 5 years. I am a nurse with bad knees - these sneakers make my life so much better! So cushioned and comfy. No break in period. They are amazing for standing, running, walking, crouching.

The shoe is very comfortable. I was in a car wreck, and so I have rods and screws in my foot and ankle. I was happy with them, they are comfortable. They do feel a little big. I normally wear a size 7.5 but feel I could have went down to a size 7 with these. Not returning them for a size 7 though
