Love this shoe
Tried this style and found it stylish enough for going out in casual clothes and cushioned enough for my daily 2 mile walks. Worth every. Penny of price. The stability is wonderful.

Regular is wide enough
My first pair of Hokas was Gaviota 4. I got them in 9wide and LOVED LOVED LOVED them. It was like walking/running on air. I use them to do a mostly walking workout with run intervals on the treadmill. When the Gaviota 5 came out, I got a pair of 9wide shoes, since that is what I wore in the Gaviota 4. I really didn't like them at all. They were too wide and look more like clown shoes than the Gaviota 4 ever did. I actually never used them for running. Since I use my shoes lightly, I am still wearing my Gaviota 4 on the treadmill because I just love how they feel so much and hate to part with them. The Gaviota 5 in 9 regular seems better than the wide. But it's still not as good or comfortable as the Gaviota 4. :-(. Even though the Gaviota is a stability shoe, which I've always worn, the Gaviota 4 didn't feel like it was tweaking my feet. The Gaviota 5, both wide and regular make me feel like my foot is in an odd position. Definitely don't like them nearly as well as the 4. Sincerely wish shoe companies didn't insist on altering shoes every year.

Toe too wide
Had to return because the toe was so wide. I comp it to my 4 and it's about 3/4" wider at the toe. They were perfect the way they were I don't know why they would do this.

Disappointed
I have 2 pairs of the Gaviota 4 & absolutely love them. You completely changed the shoe up. I had to go down a 1/2 size & they are still a little wide. I walk a lot with my job & need the cushion & stability. I have been wearing HOKAS for 10 years. If all the models keep changing this much, I will have to start looking elsewhere.

My new favorite shoes
I have foot problems due to a tibial fracture years ago that healed slightly bent. For years I ran in new balance 860s and they were fine but then I unexpectedly developed hallux rigidus. I was looking for a stability shoe with a rocker bottom sole and I settled on these. Normally, the Bondi is the recommended shoe for hallux rigidus but I know with my pronation deformity I've always done better in a stability shoe, so these are the first shoes I tried. They are like Bondi's with stability. Nothing is perfect but I like them just as much as the new balance 860s and time will tell if they prevent my hallux rigidus from getting worse. I really like the wide to box and I have no problem fitting a gel insole inside them. I purchased in wide as I normally due and they are a little wider than I'm used to but I think that's fine. I run in them but I think they are also fine for everyday wear.

Very comfortable shoes
These shoes are beyond comfortable! They keep my plantar fasciitis at bay and allow me to work long shifts. They run a little big, about 1/2 size. I ordered a 10.5 and they fit perfectly.

This is the best Gaviota since the 2, but way too wide!
Extremely comfortable shoe, although it is too wide and my foot moves around in the huge toebox. I loved the Gaviota 2, and purchased 5 or 6 pairs of the 2, but disliked both the 3 and 4. The 5 is much better, because the fit, support, and rocker motion feel like the 2. I usually wear a 9.5, but had to size down to a 9. It is still tooo wide but I'm dealing with it (always wear my thickest socks), because except for the wideness of it, it's a great shoe. Please keep making it, just make it narrower or sell it in a narrow! Even though it's not a trail shoe, I use the Gaviota 2 for hiking 14ers in Colorado, and hope to use this shoe but am concerned the extra room inside the shoe may pose a stability problem.

Too Box Too Wide For My Foot
I've been wearing Hokas for quite a few years (since the Gaviota 2) and am a fan. Unfotunately the Gaviota 5 (and Clifton) no longer fit my foot. Hopefully the changes work for other wearers.

I love Hoka's
I had to return these. I really liked them but they were to big. I did however, order another pair that fit great. I love Hoka's. I can wear them all day.

New Hoka
I really like my new Hoka tennis shoes. I gave a 4 star rating because I have very narrow feet and, of course, they fit a bit wide. Other than that, I like the style, the colors, and how comfortable the shoes are.
