Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

I have problems walking and these shoes have helped me a lot. I will be ordering another pair.

I've had a complete reconstructive surgery of the L foot, I have a very wide forefoot and a normal heel width, and I overpronate a LOT on both feet and have bunions and also a hammertoe on the R foot where it was broken by a skid steer. All this to say, I have serious foot problems. Like, the kind of pain where many days I can hardly put pressure on my feet by the end of the day. Well, I decided to go back to school in my 40's to be a nurse and realllly good shoes were a must to get past my first set of clinicals. I got through them with no major foot pain at all, this wouldn't have been possible if not for these shoes! I do have a little arch soreness, but it's manageable and to be expected. They're pricey, but I need to order an extra pair STAT. Size up 1/2 size. I normally wear a 10W and I'm wearing an 11W in these, although I feel like 10.5W would be ideal. PS - I tried on Bondis in the running store also and they were way too small, even in an 11W. Too narrow across the forefoot.

Very comfortable. More toe room.

These really surprised me. I have flat feet and very laxed ankles and these really help keeping my ankles in place from overpronating. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Great shoe, comfortable and makes it comfortable to work out in and walk in

I've had an ankle replacement and bones fused on my rt foot. The need for a sturdy soft cushiony shoe was vital. I tried several brands and this Gabriel 5 was highly recommended it's absolutely wonderful. Nice sturdy base and soft inside. They were expensive but I love them

Most comfortable sneakers I've ever purchased. They are pricey though. I'm on my feet 10 hours a day and they were amazing

My daughter bought me the Hoka Bondi 8 and I love them so much I had to buy this pair. Both are comfortable and great for walking. I bought these because of the stability factor and wanted a little thinner sole. But I really love both pair and just rotate between them. I am an older person (74) and had broken my foot so that is why my daughter got me the first pair. I do have to smile when several people had told me I am wearing THE most popular shoe.

The fit is wonderful, I feel so stable walking with these on. They are cute also!

My wife was really happy with her shoes. Been a nurse and on her feet all day always dealing with achy feet. Not any longer. Hoka your the best! Shipping was really quick and timing. Easy process from putting the order in to receiving it. Thank you Hoka you sure made it easier on my loved one. She really loves the shoes. We will definitely be returning for more!

Love this and it's so comfortable wearing for my 12 hour shifts

I am so glad I bought this shoe, it fits well, although a little big, is way comfortable, and looks great! What's not to like?!

Had an earlier Gaviota since August, but felt the old model was a bit tight in the toe box. Local shop had the new version and it is even better love the H stability in this shoe over the J design. And again the toe box and cushion are the best! Use in the house and on the treadmill. Considering getter another pair in black to wear with pants/jeans.

Super comfy sole.

I'm a nurse and work 12hr shifts. My shoes are constantly taking wear and tear. I noticed a lot of my colleagues were having Hoka's and loved them so decided to give them a try. Best decision ever! I've had them a week and already have noticed the difference. My feet don't hurt anywhere near like they would after a shift with my other shoes and the support has helped my walk. Def recommend!!

I work 12 hour shifts and these shoes are so comfortable that I forget I have feet. I have a wide foot and a high arch and these shoes just fit well and feel great.

i just got this new pair after having the gaviota 4s which i loved and they are amazing. I'm very active and run inside and outside and i also walk and these are so so comfy. They are really lightweight and feel like a great support while i run i would definitely recommend

Love these new colors. This particular pair go great with blue jeans. Feet are much more comfortable while walking my dog when wearing Hoka shoes.

I'm so glad I was recommended these shoes because I list love them.

I bought my first pair of Hokas to recover from plantar fasciitis. I have no more pain in my feet after 6 months in those. I bought these to wear to work also (nurse). Love the fit and support so far.
