Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

I have suffered from every type of foot pain you can name thanks to bad biomechanics. The Gaviota with my orthotic relieves so much of that pain, especially the capsulitis in both feet. It is the perfect amount of cushion to allow me to get back to walking without pain. I have tried Brookes, Bondi and Cliftons with no success. Gaviotas are the winner!

I really like the shoes most relief and comfort I got from any shoe I I would try the bondi 8 next

This shoe is very comfortable , I have had a few back surgeries and I find the shoe helps support my back and my feet

These are literally the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. After wearing them daily for a few weeks, my back pain is gone. I was recommended this specific shoe by my cousin, who had the same experience. We have both suffered from sciatica... I definitely recommend everyone to give these a try. I plan to purchase several more in other colors.

I ordered these shoes after reading rave reviews about them online. My toes tend to get cramped in other shoes, but not with the HOKAs! And the support is incredible! I haven't had a planter's fasciitis flare up since I've worn these! I've been on long walks, on the treadmill, my feet are so happy. These shoes are like a nice supportive hug for your feet. They are worth the price.

I tried the 4 and didn't love it because I needed stability and plush. I didn't know that until I tried Gaviota 5. These shoes are nothing short of amazing with fantastic support and comfort!

My husband and I both have Hokas, and we wear them every day. I have them in several colors. They are so comfortable. In a recent, we hiked all over Portugal in them up and down the many hilly cobblestone streets. I had to return a pair for a construction flaw, and I received a full credit, and even reminders to reorder my purchase.

The shoe Gaviota 5 is very stable. It's almost like there's a frame surrounding my foot, consequently the shoe is large across the foot. It's a different look from all the sleek shoes I wear but I must say I feel very grounded wearing them. They are very comfortable. I wanted something safe to walk cobblestone streets and also for workout. These shoes fit that purpose.

I needed shoes for overpronation and stability. The Gaviota 5 fills the bill in style! It gives a snug heel fit to add to the security.

I'm not a runner. I got these for work. I'm on my feet 10 hours straight at a time 4 days a week. My feet were killing me. I put these on and in 2 days I feel absolutely no pain in my feet. This is the first time purchasing anything from HOKA. I am a very satisfied new customer that will definitely be a return customer. Thank you HOKA. My aching feet thank you.

Very light on your feet and the most Comfortable pair I have ever bought.

I walk everyday and am on my feet as a Raregiver (caregiver for rare disease) and my back, legs and feet feel so much better at the end of the day. Simply amazing.

Your site recommended these as the best style for my lifestyle as well as the Bondi. I decided on the blue which, I love! The toe is wide, so it definitely doesn't look very stylish, but again they are comfortable! If you don't want to be bright, possibly try the black! I walk about 4-8 miles a day at work, so again these are very comfortable!

They are super comfortable, width is perfect. I can walk in these all day long! So comfy that I bought 2 more pairs!!!! They are my new faves.

I have never had such great stability and comfort in a tennis shoe

I have never had such comfortable sneakers. Until proven there is something better, I will always buy this brand and style. Maybe in a different color, but brand and style, same!

I have bought 4 pairs and recommend them to anyone who is having knee or back problems.

I love the shoes, very comfortable.

I am 78 years old and my walking balance is not what it used to be. I purchased this shoe, primarily made for rough hiking, and it is AMAZING what it has done for my balance. Hardly use a cane at all now.

these are my 2nd pair of hokas, but my favorite by far! i tend to land on the outside of my foot and these provide both stability and cushioning needed with a little gait correction. i'm looking forward to the next season's color offerings.

I've been having a terrible time with Plantar fasciitis and the Gaviotas appeared in my research. I have the Bondi's but I was looking for a little more stability and the Gaviotas definitely provides that. The only surprise with the Gavs were that I had to size down to what I wear in dress shoes! In sneakers, I'm typically a 6.5 but the Gav 5's had too much room, so I talked to a Hoka specialist and she suggested sizing to a 6. Well, THANK YOU, Haven, because that's exactly what I needed! They fit so perfectly and yet give my feet room for motion and expansion. I'm in love!

This is my second pair of Gaviota's. The comfort & stability are top notch. I have foot & ankle pain most all the time. So, good shoes are a must. I wear these daily for about 13 hours a day. My feet are pain free and happy when wearing them. I recommend Hoka to everyone.
