Details
The HOKA Gaviota 5 delivers maximum cushioning and top-tier stability for runners and walkers who need reliable support throughout their daily movement. Its plush CMEVA foam midsole creates a soft, forgiving underfoot feel, while the H-Frame support system gently guides the foot to mitigate overpronation and maintain a smooth, balanced stride.
Underneath, durable Durabrasion rubber provides confident traction for road miles, daily walks, and extended time on your feet. The upper features Creel Jacquard mesh, offering breathable comfort and airflow, while the ultra-plush collar enhances step-in feel and ankle comfort for an indulgent wrap.
Redesigned with a more accommodating fit, the Gaviota 5 adapts comfortably to a variety of foot shapes — making it an outstanding choice for both experienced runners and those taking their first steps toward consistent movement. Stable, cushioned, and deeply supportive, it’s built to keep you comfortable mile after mile.
