Forget what you thought you knew about stability shoes. The Gaviota 5's new stabilizing H-Frame has allowed Hoka to implement softer foams than ever before. The uppers are constructed using a breathable creel jacquard mesh fabric, providing a cosy, comfortable, and sock-like fit, while ensuring an optimal level of air flow for a breathable experience. Recycled polyester laces offer a traditional, sustainable lace-up construction to keep feet locked in and secure, preventing in-shoe slippage. A plush collar and single-sided tongue gusset prevent irritation and abrasion. A heel pull tab assists with putting on the shoes, and a traditional lacing system locks the midfoot to prevent excessive movement. The EVA Midsole provides plush, comfortable cushioning, exceptional support, and stability with H-Frame technology. This H-Frame technology delivers a stable platform for those looking to prevent and combat over-pronation by using firmer foam on the medial side, combined with additional rubber for durability, ensuring a comfortable and confident running experience. Alongside this, the shoes feature a late-stage Meta-Rocker for a smooth ride and additional forefoot support. The durable rubber outsole enhances underfoot stability and traction on varied terrain. The high-wear rubber compound ensures exceptional durability and provides grip throughout your run.
