Very happy that this shoe has a little wider toe box, I had been resorting to buying a wide to get a comfortable fit for my toes but this fits fine in medium which works better for the rest of my foot. I have foot arthritis and like the amount of cushion in this line since I like to walk in comfort! The shoelaces are shorter than in previous shoes but I will replace with elastic laces.

This shoe was recommended from my rheumatologist for foot pain related to over supination. The very next day my dietician recommended the exact same brand to me. I was hesitant to purchase them as it is definitely a pricey shoe.
I am so very glad I made the plunge. My foot pain is progressively getting better and my hip pain is almost gone. I had a spinal fusion on my L4/L5 in June 2023 and since then I have been slowly working on getting myself realigned. These were the perfect shoe for the foot part! I highly recommend these! *I've been wearing them for about 3 weeks as of writing the above review. I'll update my review if needed.

This is my 5th pair sneaker purchase. They are comfortable; love the color design; many choices depending on your needs; perfect fit and also are stylish. Needless to say, I love them.

I love these shoes. I broken them in last weekend doing a 5k race. No issues at all very comfortable and well designed for my flat feet.

I LOVE HOKA’s. My Podiatrist recommended them about 8 yrs ago. I have been wearing them ever since.
Zappos is easy to work with and delivers quickly.
I am happy about Zappos and HOKA’s!

Great support. I'm on my feet for 12 hours a day as a nurse, both walking and standing. At the end of the shift, I have no back pain, knee pain or any other issues!

These are great shoes. If I hadn't ordered the Bondi 9 at the same time, to compare them, I probably would have kept them. They were very comfortable and supportive. But, the Bondi was more padded and I liked it more so I ended up returning these Gaviotas. If I hadn't done a direct comparison, I probably would have kept these and been very pleased.

My husband gifted these shoes to me, working as a dental assistance my feet use to swell and I was starting to have Backpain my husband did a little research and gifted me with these shoes which I can't thank him enough for. These shoes are magic, strongly recommend buying these shoes if u are looking for comfort.

This is my third Gaviota, I wear them constantly. This Gaviota has a rim of peach which I prefer. It seems to me to reduce the visual bulk of the shoe. Plus it doesn't have the flash color, so again, less visually intrusive.

I loved my last pair of Hokas but they had gotten worn down from mileage. Switched to these and immediately my ankle and hips that had started bugging me totally went away! Great cushion!

I've worn Bondis for years and loved them but now that I've tried the Gaviota, I may never go back. It's just as plush for those of us who need a lot of 'squish' under our heels but the footbed is sturdier so the shoe stays true to form as you break them in.

This is my 5th pair of Hoka Gaviota 5's. I have tried many other brands of higher end running and walking shoes, and nothing compares to the quality and comfort of this shoe

I love my Hokas's. I haven't bought another brand of tennis shoes since I bought my first pair of Hoka's.
Three years ago. They are comfortable, stylish and look great even with casual pants.

I am retired and I wear these daily. They have saved my feet. The comfort, arch support and stability are excellent. I'll be ordering another pair in a different color soon.

I wear my Gaviota's everywhere. They're great for walking. They are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I wear them until they wear out and I buy another.

I started working after being home for 10 yrs. & standing all day an running around stocking. I'm at a hospital an everyone knows there BIG!! Well after 3 wks I couldn't stand using my good sneakers....so I thought. I started noticing the nurses feet an high an behold most wear Hoka sneaks.
I jumped on line an did the quiz an they response was right on. The Gaviota were spot in. After 2 wks (my feet needed to heal) I started wearing my Hoka's!! Love, love them, no aches or pains even after 8 hours an I'm not a slow person...lol.
Well 1 yrs later I now have 4 pairs same style an I purchased 1 pair for a co-worker just because she wouldn't listen, NOW she loves them too!!! Spread the word they are amazing. Thank you Hoka!!!!!!
