Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

These are the perfect blend of cushion and support. I bought these instead of the other styles I wore prior to having surgery to remove a Morton's neuroma. My doctor told me I needed wider shoes to not compress my nerves, but my foot is so narrow naturally that wide shoes often end up too wide. These are wide in the toe box in normal width so they are perfect for me! Just wish they came in darker or more colorful varieties.

Very nice and very comfortable to wear

This shoe has a wide toe box. It is the most comfortable shoe I have worn in many years. This is my third pair of HOKAs and by far, this one fits the best. I have a bunion and have had surgery on the other foot including a plate that makes range of motion difficult. Highly recommend if you have anything similar

I am so glad my podiatrist recommended these shoes. They are the only ones I wear now. I rotate 3 pairs. I have metatarsalia, osteoarthritis, high arches, wide feet, the works. Previously, most shoes (even the 'wide' Bondi, pinched the sides, causing callouses. The roominess and the stability ( no bending of the sole) of the Graviotas enable me to easily land my heel first, improving my balance and gait. I can now walk for miles. I also use Solo Insoles with met pad for my metatarsal problems.

I got these for my 10 mile run coming up. I tried them out for about a week prior and then ended up PRing on my run! My feet usually ACHE after long runs and my feet felt awesome.

This is a great shoe. I love the arch support design in the shoe. I am very pleased with my purchase. I highly recommend this shoe.

Nice color, comfortable and fashion!!

I bought these shoes for a 10 day trip to Japan which included tours or shrines, temples as well as nature hikes. Easily I hit over 15k + steps a day but didn't feel the fatigue I normally would from other shoes. So if you're on the fence about whether or not this is the shoe for you. Please get them!

ever since I changed tennis shoes my feet stopped hurting.

I bought a pair of Hoka shoes two years ago on a whim, just because they had yellow ones. Yes, I'm shallow lol. But I kept buying them because they were the most supportive shoes I've ever worn. My closet is full of them now. I have earlier versions on the Gaviota and they're all good. Just get one pair and you'll be sold.

I've had these about 3 weeks now. I bought them from a longtime local family run shoe store. The owner of the store measured my foot, we discussed some issues I have with my knees (bone on bone) along with a recent surgery (meniscus tear). I told him how my go to brand of shoes, I keep rubbing through the ball of the feet. Hoka and a few others were on my short list to try. I tried these on and another brand he recommended. I kept coming back to these. They're by far the most expensive shoes I've ever purchased. I'd love to get second pair to have on hand once these wear out. I am not a runner. I spend a lot of time of both paved and dirt trails and these are definitely getting some miles already on them. I'd recommend an old school shoe salesmen to get measure your foot and help you find the right shoe whether Hoka or not.

I wear the Gaviota 5 because I need a wide toe bed. I am on my feet all day and they are the most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn.

I love my new HOKAs! This is my third pair and they are my favorite. I have over pronation and these help me to stand properly (without buying ugly orthopedic shoes) and most importantly, they are so comfortable! Some HOKAs can look overly large, but these do not. Very nice looking!

These kicks are perfect for my feet. They have so much cushion for this girl who is a heavy heal striker. They are comfortable and I have plenty of room for my toes so the bunions are never aggravated. My first pair were Gaviota 4s and now I've got two pair of Gaviota 5s so basically all of my outfits now how've a pair of these that will "match". I walk 5-10 miles most days in these and my feet couldn't be happier!

Excellent cushioning and support. I am a repeat customer. One gripe. Gaviota seems to lose their cushioning quicker than I would have expected. I need to replace these within two years.

My first pair of Hoka's and I love them! comfy, plush and the toe box has a little extra room which is great for me. I tried the Bondi 8 which is a beautiful shoe, but the toe box is a bit smaller than the Gaviota 5 so it didn't work for me.

I use these sneakers daily for walking.. I have arthritis and a lot of foot pain. They help with the pain.
