Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

The last two versions of the Gaviotas had a narrower toe box that caused issues for me. I was thinking about changing to a different brand. Now I don't have to! I'm thrilled that the fit I loved so much is back.

I wear my shoes for work. I'm a dialysis tech. I'm on my feet 10-12 hours a day on a concrete floor. The cushion and support are awesome!

Still getting used to them but I think they are helping with some foot pain that I've been having (flat feet). I walk 3-4 miles a day. The edge around the front of the shoe seems a little excessive, wish that was a bit smaller. I like the design appearance a lot. I need thick walking socks with them.

So comfortable and make running easy

Just had spinal surgery about a month ago. These shoes are really an asset to walking and PT.

My podiatrist is 100% spot on with her HOKA recommendation. Amazing!

Highly recommend by my Podiatrist. The first pair of Hoka's fit a little better than my recent purchase. The second pair are a bit big in the toe area.

They look a bit like duck shoes but they are super comfortable, cushy and stable

With foot problems, the Hokas are the only comfy shoes; along with the Super Feet insoles

This is the 3rd pair of Hoka Gaviota shoes that I've bought. I've never experienced the level of comfort and stability that these shoes have provided! I have flat feet, stage 4 arthritis in one ankle, and tendon/ligament issues in my other ankle. I can actually walk and workout in the Gaviota with little to no pain. Love these shoes!

I am a teacher and on my feet all day and these are wonderful

This is the wide I've been waiting for! So much better for me than the 4 and that version was pretty good. Comfort has been great all day.

Comfortable right out of the box and I especially love the sophisticated design. Maybe more color choices coming soon???

I love these shoes! The Gaviota 4s have been my go to shoe, because they're so incredibly comfortable, but they aren't very cute. The new look of the 5s is much more appealing and the softer foam makes them really bouncy! They're fun to walk in :) The heel of this new shoe is noticeable lower than the 4's. It's taking a little getting used to, but again that adds to the bounce of this shoe.

The shoe fits like I expected.

Wasn't as comfortable as I was anticipating. Really rubs inside of foot. But overall it's better than my Nike's I have.

They fit great at a great price. Love my Hokas!

4

These fit just fine, but the heel drops just enough to be uncomfortable for anyone with plantar fasciitis. I was quite sorry as the heel and toe box fit great.

I love the Gaviotta 5 and are perfect for issues with my feet (wide and high arch). However, this is my third pair and the one place that breaks down before any other part of the shoe is the back counter. They start to break down and rip before I'm ready to replace the shoe. It has already started to occur on both shoes.

Everyday use and walking for fitness. I have an issue like Morton's neuroma so cushion and support are important to me. The color I purchased was not exactly how pictured. Product was a light green more than sand . Additionally I bought 1/2 size larger based on reviews.o

Got the wide version which is quite roomy and has a plush soft landing for the feet , a huge relief for heels suffering from plantar fascititis
