Overall the shoes are great; good stability and fabulous cushioning, BUT the toe box is way too wide. I have the laces as tight as they can go and wear thick hiking socks. This is fine for winter, but will be awful in summer.

I work full time in the healthcare field, and wearing HOKAs is the only way I can stay on my feet for 50+ hours a week and not be completely miserable.

Liked the Bondi 8 better for my needs. Overall really liked this shoe just not powder blue but it was the only color in my size.

I did not realize this was a stability shoe that would keep me from walking with my neutral gait. The shoe had great space for my toe width and the bottoms had plenty of cushion. I felt the shoe was well made, but my feet could not bend in their natural way. I usually wear an 8 - 81/2 in sandals. For this shoe the 9.5 W was an appropriate size. The 10 1/2 Wide was way too big. I think for individuals needing a stability shoe with great toe space and depth, this would be a great shoe. Unfortunately I will have to return.

I loved my Gaviota 4! So when I needed to replace, I was sad that I couldn't buy another pair. I took a chance on the Gaviota 5. It's just not as comfortable and doesn't support the same way.

Wide is true to size. I went a .5 size up (8.5 to 9) and they are much more comfortable than other brands. Happy I made the jump to this brand. After a long 14+ hr shift nursing my feet do not ache like they used to. Calf pain is gone.

I normally wear an 8.5 so that is what I order, but also chose wide because that is what I needed. The width is perfect, but the length is too much. I wish I had ordered an 8 wide.

I have high arch & this sneaker fits well & has a good support, the heel part is soft, it's like walking on clouds.

Overall the shoes looked great, they are just at least a full size larger than I expected. I thought I ordered womens 12 Narrow, these are 12 B which are too long and expecially wide.

The shoe is very nice looking. I ordered a woman's wide but it wasn't wide enough, so I reordered a men's wide. It should come in today.

From Year to year the fit varies slightly. This time they are slightly wider on the heel area where I happen to be the narrowest

The Gaviota 5 is a wonderfully stable shoe. I do find the toe box a bit large, larger than the 4.

Size was true and plenty of space in the toe box. I have a bunion and Morton's neuroma and always need an arch support insert. Even though they are very cushioned they still aggravated the neuroma so I sadly had to return them.

bought 2 pair. The one I bought at the Runner's Roost store are nowhere as comfortable as the ones I ordered on line. They are the same type, Gaviota 5 . Wish I would have bought them both online.

The shoes were super nice, but they made my feet hurt. I had to exchange them for another style.

I bought the sneakers a few weeks ago - wore them for the first time this weekend - purchased a 7.5 bc I tried a 7 on in the store - 7.5 feels a little big - 7 would have been perfect .. sad that these are bigger then I thought they would be but I love the look and feel of the sneaker

Really comfortable. A little higher/taller than I was anticipating which makes me nervous if I roll my ankle but overall, love them.

I'm on my feet all day in a medical facility, Hoka have saved my feet and legs from the pain I had before I bought my first pair of Gaviota 4's about a year ago. I bought the 5's thinking they would be the same, if not better, and I was a little wrong. The toe box area seems extra wide ( I do purchase wide ) and the arch seemed a bit more forward . I will be searching for the Gaviota 4 to have in the closet when my new 5's wear out!

I wear these shoes to walk/hike. They are very comfortable and my arthritic foot does not hurt during those walks.

At first the shoe is tight and uncomfortable, but after breaking them in, they are comfortable and feel light and cushioned. I wear wide, so the shoe does look big on my foot, but fits well, and comfort is more important to me than appearance
