This is my second pair well actually third, but I have to say I will only buy from the Hoka store, as the second pair the same exact shoe , was nothing the first and the third and very disappointing. I don't know what that's about, but just wanted to make sure you don't spend all that money and not get this most exceptional shoe. I wore new balance for years, I never thought I'd find anything comparable, and then the quality started to plummet. When I found these I was beside myself with joy as I put a lot of miles on my shoes and these hold up beautifully with comfort and stability, and For feedback have such a hard time fitting in Shoe these are absolutely perfect and I could wear them all day and never hurt even after a marathon! Spend a lot of time running or walking and I said need stability support and comfort! don't hesitate these are the ones!!!

I have issues with my feet and so finding a good shoe that has a wide toe box is a must for me. I own a Bondi 7 and a Bondi 8. The Bondi 8 isn't quite as comfortable as the Bondi 7. When I read the Gaviota 5 had a wider toe box I decided to try them. I love them. I love the new color selection. I'd like to purchase a few other colors so I can trade off. I love the plush cushion. It's a pleasure to walk and feels great with my terrible feet. I highly recommend these shoes!! Can't wait for my next pair!

What I appreciate most about the Gaviota 5 is the wider toe box, the extra stability, and the cushioning for these aging and difficult to fit feet!

I researched several different sneakers as I needed the best for my trip to Disney in June. I read several reviews and now I see for myself how great these are. Very comfortable and cushy. Will update you after Disney, but I'm confident that they're going to be great!

I love my Bondi 7's & 8's but from looking at other reviews I wanted to try the Gaviota 5's I have bunions, a lot of arthritis & still trying to heal from a broken metatarsal I have experienced so much comfort from these!

I have the Gaviota 4 and the Bondi 8. I like both of these shoes for different reasons. I rotate wearing both of them for my walks. This seems to be the best solution for dealing with my plantar fasciitis and recent osteochondral allograft surgery in my knee. I needed a new pair since my Gaviota 4s are beginning to wear out. These are not like the Gaviota 4. They seem to be a mix between the 4s and the Bondi 8. The heel is more like the Bondi 8 than the Gaviota 4. The footbed is super soft and cushioned like the Bondi and the loop on the back of the shoe is like the Bondi too. They have the support that I liked in the Gaviota 4. There is more room in the toe box compared to the 4s. Overall I’m happy with the changes. Maybe I won’t have to rotate between two different pair of shoes to get my walks in now

I gave them in 2 colors. I love the tan color and I hope we can always have neutrals as a color choice! So pretty and meets all my functional needs for over pronation. However I need a narrower shoe for running. But I use these for gym lifts, walking, and at work as an RN

I have spent so much money on sneakers! I thought I would have to settle for close enough until this one! It's comfortable, has superior cushioning and supports my knees like nothing I've ever experienced.,EVER! I love this shoe so much I accidentally purchased 2 pairs in the same color and did not want a refund or exchange. Instead, I gave it to one of my sisters. I want a pair in every color available to me. It's great for the gym, running, walking, every day wear and for medical workers. The only thing that could make this shoe better is if it were designed in a military style black work boot for work. I would be in heaven. Outstanding job Hoka!

These felt so good the immediately. I tried several black wide shoes in other brands, but none felt as good as these.

I had a pair of Cliftons, which I liked, but wanted to try the Gaviota 5 due to the plushness. I found that the Gaviota has a roomier toe box which is exactly what I needed, and was able to get a half size smaller than the Clifton, so overall a better fit for me. I bought one pair at a store, and ordered a second pair online. Service and delivery were stellar online. Will definitely buy a few more colors!

I love the Hoka Gaviota 5's. They are the best! I work in the medical field, on cement floors. I wear them to the Gym. I also wear them to walk my dog at the park. I have three pairs that I rotate. I used to have plantar fasciitis in both feet, I tried other name brand shoes, none of them helped my plantar fasciitis. My plantar fasciitis has gone away, since I have been wearing the Hoka Gaviota 's. I have to order a half size up. They are so comfortable and supportive. I highly recommend these shoes.

I have very wide feet. I have Gaviota 3 & 4 in 9D. The Gaviota 5 runs so much longer and wider that I got an 8.5 B. Word of warning! Still very comfy though.

After buying and trying all the top brands of top brand shoes for those lo g 12 hour shifts spent on my feet, I have to give it up to Hoka for topping them all. I'm 40 years old, work on an extremely busy unit where sometimes I am on my feet for more than 8 hours straight, and struggle with peripheral neuropathy and bad circulation in my feet. These Hokas that I bought give me the support, comfort, breathability with compression socks, and bounce to take that next step! These outrank ASICS, On Cloud, and even my several pairs of Brooks! They are worth every penny!

I have been wearing Clifton 9, but decided to try the gaviota 5. So glad I did! Still like the Clifton but the gaviota fits my wide feet a bit better. I also appreciate that the gaviota has even more cushion than the Clifton. Both have great stability for me. I’m not a runner, but take long walks and my feet are very happy with the gaviota. I do have custom orthotics and they fit great in the shoes. Also, I’ve tried many brands trying to find shoes for my problem feet and Hoka definitely has many I’ve tried that work well over other brands. And thankful Zappos makes it easy too since I live in a rural area.

Hoka Gaviota is comfortable and I can walk for miles, stand for hours, even run a bit in them which I usually avoid because of arthritis. My only complaint is that they wear out fast, and look old fairly quickly. Probably because I wear them so often, and everywhere.

I'm on my feet all day & have plantar fasciitis. These shoes have helped stabilize my ankles & within a few days my plantar fasciitis felt much better.

These seam better for my foot. Walked around Disney all day and had no foot, knee, or hip pain that day or the next! I have very narrow feet and high arches. I was shocked I had not even a little pain after walking miles!
