Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

I have Metatarsalgia and my shoes have to have a lot of cushion or the bottoms of my feet hurt. Hokas are the only shoe I can wear all day and not hurt. I will never wear anything else!

Great shoe. Feels like a foot hug-not too tight or too loose in the toe box. Arch is comfortable. I have terrible feet and love these shoes. True to size, so, with very thick socks does affect the fit. Will buy again.

I put these on and straight out of the box wore them all day around the house. They immediately felt comfortable. I have overpronation, bunions and easily get plantar fasciitis so I usually cannot wear the same shoes for more than several hours before I switch. I had seen Hoka advertised but have spent so much money on shoes that do not work for me that I was hesitant to spend the money for these until my doctor was wearing them and she also has some foot problems so now I am looking for a second pair that would work better to wear outside on my muddy road. I feel as if I may need a wide in order to have more comfort with thicker socks so I am going to consider my next move.

Purchased this pair of HOKAs for their stability since I recently underwent spine surgery. My balance is compromised but , this shoe has a terrific base to aid in my balance.

I cannot recommend these shoes enough!! So first off, I wear a 12 wide and through the years, it's been really tough to find a properly fitting shoe. This shoe fits SO well! The toe box is wide enough and the heel is fantastic! I've worn the Arahi's previously, but these Gaviota's are a game changer. The cushion is outstanding!! Lastly, we have Disney annual passes and as such, do around 6+ miles on any given park day and these shoes make it a breeze!! I'm shocked! This is Day 6 of our current Disney trip and not one single blister and zero foot pain!!!

I was hesitant about purchasing your HOKA shoes, but my feet are glad I did. They are very comfortable. A little pricey but comfort comes first. I will be buying more shoes in the future.

The great thing about this HOKA model shoe? It's perfect for older folks who need a little extra support.

I had purchased the Bondi 8 in 2023 and was very happy with it and I knew I wanted another pair of Hokas but wanted to try a different style. I went with the Shoe Finder recommendations and decided on the Gaviota 5. I have two screws in the base of my left big toe and every step still hurts but I've found that this style helps minimize that pain. Very pleased with my purchase.

After talking with a customer service rep as to my what my feet's needs in a shoe she led me to these. And what a great pick. That are so comfortable. Love them

This is my 3rd pair of Hokas. I am 78 years old and I bought them for their stability. I had been falling frequently and these provided an additional benefit to help avoid injury. I highly recommend Hokas!

This is my 2nd set of Gaviota speakers by HOKA. I absolutely love them!!

I bought for my daughter who had a broken ankle 2 yrs ago. Working on a feet 6 to8 hrs a day...she was in pain daily. I had tried these on in a store and noticed the support on this particular style. She loves them and is much more comfortable at work now.

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.
