Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

I love that I can finally have shoes that make my feet feel wonderful. I've needed wide shoes, but they are hard to find and some companies wides feel like mediums and hurt my feet. The shoes are overall very comfortable and I'm getting ready to buy my third pair so I have a variety.

As a nurse with fibromyalgia these shoes are a life saver. I'm obsessed. Buying another pair immediately.

I am a big morning walker and these shoes really give me support in my arch and are wider in the toe area.

I walk all day at work on cement. No tired feeling in calves or thighs. Feet feel fine e as well.

Bought Bondi 5s last year and loved them. Just received Graviota 5s and they are amazing!

This shoe is the most comfortable, well fitted and very plush cushion.

Shoes only last 3 months because my dog walks 5 miles a day.

Love these sneaker! Great support but, like walking on air. This sneaker is a WINNER

The Gaviota 5's are my 3rd pair of Hoka's - Clifton, Bondi's and these and I love them all for different reasons. I thought the Clifton's were my favorite but after wearing the Gaviota 5's for a month or so I decided these were my favorites. I was told they have an H frame to make your walking more stable and you can feel it supporting you. They have the wide toe box so your toes have room to wiggle and they do feel cushy. I have an Achilles tendon issue and tight calf muscles on my left leg and foot but these do seem to help a bit and usually about a 1/4 of the way into our walks it doesn't bother me. I was hoping that these shoes would stop the Achilles tendon from hurting all together but that was just wishful thinking. I don't think any shoe will make it go away but these Gaviota 5's sure come close. In the winter I wear tennies more often and for longer periods so I have high hopes for these staying comfortable while wearing them. My only complaint is just a little thing. I do wish Hoka would provide colorful laces to match or contrast with the shoe. The same color as the shoe is sooooo boring! I love colorful shoes and it's getting harder to find those colorful laces. Even if Hoka had them for sale separately it would be nice. but, again, that is just me and has nothing to do with the quality of the shoe. Oh, and the Hoka representatives are fantastic. They seem to be trained well in their shoes and have really helped me pick out what I need. they take their time with you as well. Kudos to Hoka and their representatives!

I have arthritis in my feet and these shoes are sooo comfortable! These are my second pair and I will definitely buy again.

I wear them all day bc I have a lot of feet problems. Walking barefoot hurts my feet. Wearing these shoes, my feet never hurt even after being on my feet doing things all day

Comfort, durability, looks! Just great shoes!

I need support for my feet in order to walk. I am elderly. I am walking around in Colonial Williamsburg today. I love this shoe.

Use it for gym workouts and very comfortable!!!

This is my third pair of Hoka's and my favorite to date. I have been dealing with both peroneal tendonitis and a plantar plate tear and needed shoes to support and cushion my feet. These shoes are so comfortable for walking, I can feel the extra cushioning for my whole foot and they are also supportive for my ankles. I love them!

She got and wore everywhere on vacation over Labor Day

Wonderfully comfortable & stable shoe! The fit was perfect the moment I put them on !!!

Excellent, lightweight I recommend 1/2 size up of your normal size

I used my HOKA sneakers to go on a very special trip to Camino de Santiago De Compostela in Spain. It was an amazing experience and there were many people wearing HOKA during the walk. I did 72 miles in 5 days wearing HOKAs.

I bought these for a new job where I'd be on my feet all day. These are the most comfortable sneakers I've ever worn!! Absolutely no break in needed.

It's a beautiful thing when you find The. Perfect. Shoe. I broke a bone in my foot that didn't heal properly and wear orthotics and am trying to keep moving and avoid surgery. These shoes are letting me do that. My only complaint is that these shoes don't last very long. I wear them out after about 4-5 months (walking 4.5-5 miles almost every day).

I will be purchasing more Hoka's but have to wait awhile as they are pricey.
