Comfortable And Supportive

I have 10.5 4E feet and finding running shoes in my size is challenging. The Hoka Gaviota 5's 2E fit me as it has a large toe box (I see that the 6's offer a 4E option). I use these for fast walk/slow run sessions on the treadmill and outdoors (pavement/asphalt). I usually replace the manufacturer insoles, but I found that I haven't needed to with these shoes. This is my first pair of high stack sneakers (and Hokas) and my knees, ankles, and feet benefit from the cushioning. I worried about stability with so much foam as I sprained my ankle badly when I was younger, and I have a tendency to roll that foot easily. So far, these shoes have been very stable and supportive and I haven't stumbled on them. I find the soles grippy and the shoe works well with both my fast walk and slow run strides. I'll likely continue using the Gaviotas unless something dramatically superior comes out.

Decent Shoe

The Hoka Gaviota 5 delivers plush stability with a noticeably softer ride than past versions. The cushioning feels smooth on long walks and easy runs, and the widened base adds confidence without feeling bulky. The upper is breathable and secure, though the shoe can feel slightly heavy during quicker efforts. Overall, it’s a reliable, comfort‑first stability option.

Arch

The arch is a little high for me. But the wide size fit well.

Best Shoes Ever

Shoes are great. Managed to catch them on sale and they are, hands down, the most comfortable pair I've ever worn in my entire life. They're now my "dad" shoe, the forever shoe. You know what i'm talkin' about.

Excellent Light Weight Shoe

I'm a nurse so walking is a big part of my job. This style HOKA Gaviota is a wonderful selection as my first pair of HOKA to buy. Very glad I listened to my co-workers!!

Looks like some one returned them and they repacked and sold again

So Comfortable

These are my favorite Hokas. I’ve also owned the Bondi and Arahis which were great but these are the most supportive and comfortable. This is my second pair to wear day to day, my first pair is for work where I’m on my feet for hours at a time and my joint pain has significantly decreased since wearing them. I would recommend these to anyone!

Good Shoes

Bought these for my everyday use. Have always heard good things and all were true. Very light and comfortable. Plenty of cushioning.

Received incentive

Sky High

I bought these for my husband. Unfortunately he does not care for them. He says they are way too high & awkward to walk in.

Received incentive

Great Amount Of Cushion!

I like the wider base of the Giovata. Much more stability but with a great amount of cushion.
