Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

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.

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

Just a little wide, but definitely the best shoe's I've ever worn.

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 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

She texted me and said she walked 1.8 miles in them! She's 85!

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.

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.

These sneakers have helped so much. My feet don't hurt, my lower back doesn't ache and I feel like I can walk all day pain free

I work in retail and I use my HOKA for work and everyday sneaker. Most comfy I have ever work.
