Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

I have been running and walking for distance for more than 50 years, and these are the most comfortable and best overall athletic shoes EVER.

Realy nice and comfortable.

I have looked at Hoka's from afar and, given that I'm someone who needs a very wide toe box and have a myriad of other foot issues, I was convinced the Hoka madness was just a fad. Desperately needing to find a new shoe, I decided to see if there was something to all if this. Not all of the models would work for me given my need for a wide toe box, but based on the description and reviews I decided to give this one a try. I'm absolutely in love with the shoe and here to say the Hoka madness is not just hype. Thanks, Hoka!

These shoes are what my feet have been praying for. I will definitely be buying another pair. My only problem is that I think I should go to a smaller size. They form fitted so well I think I just need to make that adjustment.

I do a lot of walking for exercise, and I also have Morton's Neuroma in both feet and experience pain while walking typically. I wanted to try HOKA brand because I've heard such positive things about them. So far, I haven't had any foot pain when walking in them. I am very happy!

The cushion, the colors, the sizing, and inventing the pieces that are in the shoe are great.

Hoka does it again! Love this shoe from the get-go! I wouldn't normally wear brand new shoes to Disney World but I put my faith in Hoka and they did not disappoint! My feet survived 4 days of walking 20,000+ steps each day cradled in these brand-new babies!

Lo these shoes and they do look a little bit wide at the toes but that's what I want. After walking dogs my feet are just fine.

Use these at work. So comfortable. Stylish. Helps my torn ligament pain while being up and down for 12 hours.

I have a few different pairs of Hokas. These seem to have great stability and structure while still be roomy and comfortable.

If you have flat feet and like a slightly wider toe box, these are for you. I wear these on all my recovery and long runs and my feet have honestly never felt better during a run. I love how supportive these are. My feet and ankles don't hurt anymore! I have multiple pairs of hoka's and I recommend getting your actual size because to me they feel a half size bigger so no need to size up. However, I recommend going to fleet feet or a similar store and having your feet scanned so you know for sure what size you need to get!

The best sneaker I have ever worn.Put them on and was able to wear all day .Thank You and my feet Thank You God bless

These are the best tennis shoes. I walked about 6 miles daily. And at the end of the day. My feet don't hurt. Which is a beautiful thing.

At 65, I wanted stability and support but still a good running shoe and this is it! I even started using it for pickleball as it was more comfortable for activity than many of my lighter sneakers! I'm normally size 9 in Nike and NB and size 9 fit well in HOKA. Average width but didn't need to break in to be comfortable like other sneakers. I can even add an inner sole if I want!

I bought these for my mother in law, who had osteoporosis and she walks about 2 miles a day and need good arch support and cushion for comfortable walking. She's loved them

Super comfy

Sizing was exact, great all around walking shoes!

excellent for walking

So comfortable; did not need to break in; light in weight; fits well; lots of support; feels like I am walking on air!

Standing and walking in a school environment. Gives support to my flat feet. Wish there were more choices in Hoka like these. Makes me walk straighter thru its inserts.

I have bought 3 pairs of Gaviota 5's for stability. I have fallen arches and it was recommended by my doctor. Plus the nurses at the clinic were wearing them too! On my second pair I tore out one of the eyelets . Hoka did an even exchange and within 5 days I had my new pair. Great shoe and thank you Hoka for exceptional customer service!

Strength training. Provides excellent stability
