Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

I love Hokas so much, I bought them for everyone in my family for Christmas. I suffered from a very long bout of plantar fasciitis and Hokas saved me. My PT recommended Hoka and my DPM recommended Brooks. I tried Brooks but they did nothing for me. Hokas changed my life. My heel pain was immediately reduced. Foot pain is terrible. As your foundation, when your feet hurt, it really impacts your life. I gave away probably 40 pairs of athletic shoes and only wear Hoka now. I've converted my whole family! My husband and daughter are both on their feet all day and love Hoka Gaviotas now too since I got them some. My son is a server and loves the Bondi SRs I got him. He's recommended them to all his coworkers. I am not a runner , but I do walk a few miles daily for exercise. I'm a Hoka buyer for life now. Thank you for this amazing product.

The Gaviotas are my new favorite sneakers. Helps my arch support because I have plantar fasciatis and no more feet pains, lots of room for my toes too. Incredible shoes . Thanks

I stay all day with them, at work. They feel great, and fast walking is like a breeze.

I used this sneaker for the gym and let me tell you it is an absolute game changer

I just ordered these after being a Brooks and ASICS loyalist. Bit some knee and heel pain are forcing me to look at other brands. I do pronate and would always need an insert to help my disappearing arch. This is the first shoe that stabilizes my foot without an arch and gives me the cushion I need. To clarify, I'm not a runner, but I do jog on my 3x weekly 5ks. So I am definitely a routine, fast walker/jogger. That being said, after reading the reviews I ordered in my normal exercise shoe of 8.5 and my daily shoe size of 8. I will see which I will keep and which I will return. At the moment, my daily shoe size seems to give me plenty of toe box space, but I haven't taken them for a walk yet.

Only pair of tennis shoes I will ever own.. Love the fit. Love the service. Love the product!

First thing out of the box was the colors, I love them! I was worried they might not fit because I ordered the Medium but they slipped right on. The toe box feels roomier, that's where I need space. The feel upon standing is plush but supported. I ordered Aetrex interest for neuroma and plantar fasciitis. I didn't plan on wearing these until they come in but I am. They feel that good! On some background, before I stated wearing Hokas, I was at the doctor constantly with foot, knee and hip pain. Hokas, 6 weeks of rehab and meloxicam have fixed my problems. Hoka was the game changer. Thank you to your design team for these gorgeous shoes!

On my feet all day and shoes have helped with lower back pain.

I stand on my feet for hours at times so I need comfortable shoes to endure shift work. I would recommend this pair of shoes if you can relate.

I'm convinced these have little engines built into them because running is so much easier. My knees and shins aren't bothering me, I'm so happy I bought them!

I have had many back issues and the combination of support and cushioning in the gaviota 5 seem custom made. I can now walk 2 or 3 miles with no ache

This pair, like every pair, I own, our fabulous!

I use these shoes for work and I'm on my feet all day. These shoes are great and my feet don't hurt after a long day.

I love this shoe for the cushioning and the support. I love being able to take the Hoka test to determine the best pair for me, and these Gaviota 5 shoes are wonderful! My main suggestion for Hoka is to work on extra fabric in the heel area since that is one area where I see wear and tear earlier than I would like. I will still continue buying Hokas, and I recommend them to everyone!

I have posterior tibial tendonitis and other foot issues from time to time. I can easily add my Pro Step inserts into these shoes for added arch support.

Look no further. Hola re-designed this shoe and this is the best iteration that ever existed. The toe box is finally wide enough and it is a joy to run in them. I am a teacher and spend a ton of time on my feet so I am ordering an extra pair for day to day wear in addition to the ones I wear only for runs. Thanks Hoka for the re-design, these shoes have genuinely improved my quality of life.

I love the cushioning and wide toe box. Very comfortable! Was a little disappointed in the color. The sea mist is more light blue than light gray.
