Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

I have gone through 3 pairs of Biondis before I decided to try these. I knew I have instability and roll out laterally. I had looked at the Gravatonias online but never had tried them in person. The Biondis always feel great at first and then my bad knee starts hurting within a month. I can't afford to replace them that fast. I need the wide as I'm starting to grow a bunion on my right foot same as the bad knee side and a growth on the top of my arch so the wide is necessary. These are amazing and pretty much the only shoe I can wear when I'm on my feet all day! Save my feet and knees!

I like the look and feel of this shoe. It has a little more grip and stability than the Bondi. Great shoe!

Very comfortable from the first time I put them on. Offer great stability for me at 80 years old.

Most comfortable shoes I've ever owned!

Work

I originally fell in love with a Gaviota 2. After I wore those out, I tried the Gaviota 3 and 4. Neither of them had the toebox room that the original did. I had all, but given up when the Gaviota 5 was released. I bought a pair for myself and my husband. We both love them! Cushioned, full stability, and room in the toebox. I wear a 7 1/2 wide and I just love these. Ready to buy a back up pair.

This show provides my feet and joints the cushioning they need. Thank you for making this show and in a fun color in wide size!

I wear these shoes all the time. Yes, even to weddings and evenings out.

First of all had to find a shoe that would work great for the walking. I do I have the hip problems and I had read a review that doctor that stands majority of his day and walking approved of the shoe and my sister bought a pair and brought them over and I tried her on, fell in love with him so that's why I bought this

Great stability and great cushioning

Walking and tread mill.

Most comfortable shoes I've ever worn

I use these shoes to run in. They are great!! I will be choosing this brand as my running shoes from now on.

My son and I each have 2 pair of Bondi 8 but thought we would try these. We both like these much better! Much lighter and a softer sole. I have a narrow foot but appreciate how much room is in these even with the regular. Add more colors please, we both want another pair!

Love the shoe, jogging walking standing. Plantar fasciitis is improved while using. The shoe does not last long enough for the price. Fabric is failing on the inside of the heal on ALL of HOKAS. I currently have 5 pairs. The fabric didn't last 5 months. I wear multiple shoes so it absolutely should not wear out this fast!

I am a heavy set woman. My feet hurt a lot when I stand or walk for a while. These shoes allow me to be more active without pain in my feet, knees and back. I love them!

I work in Healthcare and I am on my feet constantly every day at work. When I get home, I am walking our dog. My feet do not hurt like they used to. I will be buying another pair.

Comfortable and perfect fit. Good Support.

It's the only style that fits me well. I have tried many other styles and they do not fit me. I wish that I had bought other. Odors before you stopped making the Bondi 7

Fit great. My favorite shoes.

I am an avid walker. I'm in the medical field where I am on my feet for several hours! I have flat feet and these shoes are nothing short of amazing! I've purchased my first pair almost 2 years ago and every time it's time for a new pair, no question, it's another pair of Gaviota!

This is the fourth pair of Hoka footwear I have purchased, and I LOVE the QUALITY & COMFORT of every pair!

I have Charcot Marie Tooth which means I can't feel my feet so I clomp when I walk. These shoes help me not to clomp and walk correctly. I have gotten the orthotics from The Good Feet Store and these shoes make such a bigger difference!

I love these shoes for walking. They are very stable, comfortable and have a nice, cushioned sole for walking on pavement.

I mostly use these for walking and a bit of treadmill running. I have flat arches I was looking for a structured shoe that I could wear for almost anything. I love a wide toe box which is what brought me to Hoka First I ordered the Arahi6. I wanted to love them but they just didn't have the cush factor I was after. After reading and watching some reviews I swapped for the Gaviota5. I don't usually spend this much on shoes so I hope they hold up for a while. I chose the citrus glow color and they make me happy. I usually go between a 9 and 9.5 depending on the shoe. I got the 9.5 to be safe but I could easily have gone with the 9.
