The shoes feel great. I have a wide foot and the medium width fits fine.

These are awesome quality shoes. Any person with foot or ankle pain. Arthritis, plantar Fasciitis, or severely flat feet. Which I have all. Hoka is now my forever brand. I'm actually really thankful to have finally found shoes that help my dogs feel better at the end of my work shifts. Check this brand out. Even if you don't have foot problems These will help you feel comfort while you do your daily routine. Highly recommend these shoes. I have been wanting to try them for a year now. I'm elated I did. These are very much life changing. They won't cure your ailments. But they do assist in stability comfort and lessen the achs pains, and pressure in your feet!

Lots of support and roomy toe box. Very comfortable. I would buy these again! I got mine from a local store that sells Hoka so I was sure they were fitted well- which makes a huge difference.

I absolutely love this shoe. As a college athlete who struggled with an acl tear, Achilles tendonitis, and plantar fasciitis this shoe took all the pain away. I bought this shoe in my sophomore year, and I bought it again my senior year, and I will continue to buy it every year. I have tried some other Hokas and they did not get rid of the pain. I wear my Gaviota 5s for walking, running, and to work (I am a coach and have to stand for many hours) and I never have any pain.

Another excellent iteration. No break-in period. I am a true 8.5 AA and this shoe fits well with my orthotics.

I just got my shoes today. Headed straight to the greenway/trail for my regular 4k/day. OMG. It was a gane changer! By the time I got to 2k, I felt no pain, not fatigued, & felt like I could have stay out on the trail another hour or more. But I got my 4k in before it got dark. These shoes are a MAJOR game changer for my greenway/trail run-walk days! IDK why I waited so long to purchase.

I love these shoes. Used to wear Bomdi but the Gaviota give me better support for my over pronation.
Would love to buy more but colors are limited.

My feet don't hurt, my lower back doesn't ache and I feel like I can walk all day pain free

After breaking 3 bones in my ankle & having 2 bones surgically repaired with hardware the gaviota 5 sneaker is the only shoe I could wear. They are extremely supportive, comfortable and the collar is especially cushioned & soft. I've been wearing them to physical therapy for 4 months and just bought a second pair.

I have/am recovering from injuries on both feet (a neuroma on my left and muscle pull on the right after a sprained ankle), as well as an occurrence of plantar fascitis on one foot before that. These sneakers got amazing reviews in terms of support for all of these types of injuries, so I got them. They are SO FANTASTIC. They feel great and I am super grateful...one happy customer!

My husband and I are hooked on Hoka shoes. I have 7 pair my husband has 3 pair, and I've purchased Hoka shoes for our son in law. They aren't cheap, but they ARE worth every penny. Some of the Hokas like the Rincon 3 and Rincon 4 tend to run narrow. I find that there is plenty of room in the Gaviota 5. All the Hoka shoes are super comfortable

I love my new Hokas. The Gaviota style is perfect for me, especially the wide toe box. My toes are happy! Lol
I'm on my feet all day caring for my husband and these make such a difference in how my feet feel at the end of the day.

The only problem I have with the Hoka shoes I have ordered is the tongue. They all dig into my skin and it is extremely uncomfortable. I will look into a slip-on shoe with no tongue.

Very similar to the Bondi 7 and 8. I got these because they're were no cool colors for the Bondi 9.

These shoes are very comfortable. I wore these on a recent trip to Japan where I was walking 20,000+ steps a day and they saved me; I had brought two pairs of walking shoes with me on the trip and ended up only wearing the Hokas every day because they were so much more comfortable and supportive. My feet are narrow with high arches and I did have to add my superfeet arch insoles to these, but I have to do that with pretty much every shoe so I don't hold it against Hoka. I've worn Hokas in the past that ended up squeezing my toes and causing blisters but I don't have that problem with these, the toe box is very roomy. Are they the cutest shoes on the market? No, but I don't care lol.

I had plantar fasciitis for years and had foot surgery that went wrong. I have been a dance teacher and dancer for 60 years so my feet are worn out . I love the support and comfort of my new Hokas

I walk/stand all day at work, and these are perfect for me. My knees, back, and feet are so happy to have found these shoes. Only one small complaint about the color ways available, as I wish the grey/rose gold option was a darker grey color. It would show dirt less easily, and be truer to the photos on the site (the color is much lighter in person).

Since I have bone spurs and neuropathy, I have a very difficult time finding shoes that are comfortable. These shoes are wonderful.

I have bought 2 for myself and 2 as gifts! I have been asked many many times which ones are they and do I love them. My ankles go inward and this helps straighten them out..

I have severe plantar fasciitis. I switched from another brand to Hoka 5 months ago to see if it would help with the heel pain. This is my 2nd pair of Hoka's in the last 5 mos. I purchased a 2nd pair to switch between workout days. Let me tell you, I have very minimal heel pain to almost no help pain since I switched to Hoka. I do intervals on the treadmill and I used to have to ice my heel after every workout. I no longer have to do that now that I use my Hoka sneakers!
