Stability without sacrificing comfort. The Gaviota 5's new stabilising H-Frame has allowed for softer foams than ever before, delivering inherent stability without compromising cushioning. It features a breathable creel jacquard upper, ultra-plush collar, and Bondi-level cushioning for the signature HOKA ride. The engineered mesh upper provides a breathable, sock-like fit. Recycled polyester laces offer a traditional lace-up to lock the foot down. A plush collar and tongue prevent irritation or chafing. The heel pull tab assists with putting the shoes on, and the lacing system locks the midfoot to prevent excessive movement. The EVA midsole provides cushioned, comfortable, and exceptional support, with the H-Frame midfoot offering increased support and midfoot lockdown. The Meta-Rocker provides a smooth ride and forefoot support. A durable rubber outsole enhances underfoot stability and traction.
