Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 5

I loved my Gaviota 4 and these sounded great with even more cushion. The cushion is nice but the toe box is way too wide and I like a roomy toe box. I almost needed to go down to a 6 vs my typical Hoka 6.5 (I wear a 7 in Brooks for comparison). In addition to just feeling too wide, they looked a little odd with such a wide front vs the rest of the shoe. I wish they had made it a small bit roomier without swinging too far the other way.

Not a good feel at all. I thought I was going to love them The fit ie horrible so wide. Not soft and comfy like. I expected What everyone told me about. No way. Sorry. Maybe I just picked the wrong style. I would use them for walking

I love the feel and width especially, but I noticed that within a week the soles were already getting bald and shredded up. Likely going to return this soon because at week 2 the cushioning started to collapse. I had a pair of Bondis before this and they were much more durable.

They are very uncomfortable shoe ever purchased. Have a pair of Bondi 8 and they are very comfortable. Would have purchase another pair of Bondi 8, but can't find another pair in my width 2E.

I bought this to help with my plantar fasciitis. I do not find this helpful for my condition. My Skechers pickleball shoes have better support for my feet and at half the price I should have brought a second pair of those. Next time I might try the ON or brooks shoes.

1. Usually wear Bondis -toe box on these is really loose - had to check to make sure I didn't order these in a wide- can't tighten with laces enough to hold upper foot in place 2. Heel is just a tiny bit too big to fit in rowing machine at OrangeTheory-

The tongue of the shoes are defected they don't stay straight i have to keep straightening the tongue of the shoe and its a big problem for me.

Run about 2-3 times/week. About 100 miles so far. Shoes are comfortable but appear to wear to fast.

The tongues of this shoes doesn't stay in the front and it's uncomfortable

They're just too narrow. I have no problem with most wide width shoes but these get very uncomfortable after a couple of hours of wear. I'm wearing them every now and then to see if they stretch out a little more but so far they're just not comfortable for all-day wear.

I gave them away. I could not get my foot into them. I also have a brace on my right foot too..they were reall narrow in depth also.

I returned the shoes because they did not fit my feet well.

I got this product so I could work and Hola came highly reccomended by the local podiatrist at the hospital in town. All things considered I soent the coin was super excited and then exceedingly disappointed to say the least when this brand actually not only didnt help my lower back pain but also caused it to worsen and increased the pain I had already been experiencing from si joint issues. Needless to say I returned them the same week they arrived for a full refund.

I've been wearing Hokas for about 10 years. I always love how how much cushioning they have. These are not and after only 3 months the soles wore completely off.

After a few months in the sole are already collapsing and wearing uneven making my feet roll outward.

The Gaviota was too firm and uncomfortable. I returned it for the TRANSPORT, which is soooo comfortable, I bought a second pair

I was hoping these shoes were worth the hype but the quality quickly wears and isn't worth the price.

I have worn Hoka Gaviota for several years but the last pair I bought, is of poor quality, hurting my feet,poor support, don't know what went wrong

the backs are terrible! The heel! I can't get my foot in without trying to stretch the back out!
