Details
Designed for runners who overpronate—or anyone who prefers a calm, balanced ride—the HOKA Gaviota 6 delivers Bondi-level softness paired with refined, confidence-inspiring stability. Its compression-molded EVA midsole provides deep, protective cushioning for long miles, while HOKA’s enhanced H-Frame™ stability system guides your stride without relying on rigid or intrusive elements. The result is a smooth, naturally stable ride that feels fluid rather than corrective.
Up top, a breathable engineered mesh upper promotes airflow and comfort, while an internal ghillie lacing systemensures secure, adaptable lockdown through the midfoot. Underfoot, a durable abrasion-resistant rubber outsole adds longevity and dependable traction for daily training. Plush, supportive, and thoughtfully balanced, the Gaviota 6 is built to keep you running comfortably and confidently from the first step to the final mile.
MIDSOLE
- Enhanced H-Frame Interlocks with the midsole to create a secure and stable base without a traditional medial post.
- Late Stage Meta-Rocker Geometry is a rockered midsole design engineered to create a stable base of forefoot support.
- CMEVA Midsole foam is comfortable and soft on impact.
OUTSOLE
- Abrasion-resistant rubber outsole offers durable traction on a variety of surfaces, extending the life of the shoe.
UPPER
- Breathable Engineered Mesh keeps feet cool and comfortable while providing structure where needed.
- Comfort Collar cushions the ankle for a plush, irritation-free fit.
- Internal Ghillie Lacing System ensures a secure, locked-in feel across the midfoot.
