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.

HOKAs are the best. Best comfort, best stability, best casual look!

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!

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 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!

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.
