Constructed using a breathable creel jacquard mesh fabric, the uppers of the Gaviota Running Shoes provide feet with a cosy, comfortable experience. Not only will they provide you a sock-like, secure fit, but the shoes will also ensure an optimal level of air can flow through the shoes, in order to create a breathable, cool experience for feet to thrive. The shoes have recycled polyester laces for a traditional, yet sustainable lace-up construction to help the feet remain locked in and secure, therefore preventing in-shoe slippage from occurring. Preventing irritation and abrasion from occurring, the shoes have a plushy collar and single-sided tongue gusset, offering improvements in comfort to their predecessors. Completing the upper is a heel pull tab that provides you assistance with putting on the shoes and a traditional lacing system which helps to lock the midfoot to prevent excessive movement. To provide you with plush, comfortable cushioning and exceptional support and stability, the Gaviota 5's have H-Frame technology. The H-Frame technology delivers a stable platform for those looking to prevent and combat over-pronation by using firmer foam on the medial side of the short, in combination with additional rubber for durability for a comfortable, confident running experience. Alongside this, the shoes have a late-stage Meta-Rocker for a smooth ride and additional forefoot support. Enhancing underfoot stability and traction on varied terrain, the Hoka Gaviota 5's have a durable rubber outsole. The shoes' high-wear rubber compound helps to ensure the shoes have exceptional durability and will provide you grip throughout your run. A premium stability shoe, the HOKA Gaviota 5 delivers maximal cushioning and H-Frame enhanced support providing a stable platform for runners looking to prevent over-pronation. It’s been reworked with a plusher collar and tongue to offer unexpected improvements in comfort. The support you need. The cushion you crave.
