HOKA Gaviota 5
Features
The HOKA Gaviota 5 brings comfort and stability to the next level.
Soft and comfortable, you will feel like you are walking on clouds in the new Gaviota 5. HOKA re-engineered this stability shoe with an intuitive H-Frame base and wider platform to give you a smooth and stable ride that is perfect for those with flexible arches or who overpronate.
The luxury feel continues in the upper with a breathable, creel jacquard upper. A gusseted tongue hugs your foot in place, while the heel pull tab makes it easy to slip on and off. Some of our reviewers did think that this shoe ran a little large in our HOKA Gaviota 5 review, so if you are in between sizes, you may want to consider sizing down.
The HOKA Gaviota 5 brings softness and stability to the next level whether you are working on your feet all day or running a marathon.

What’s New
HOKA made this version of the Gaviota the softest yet without sacrificing stability. Designers widened the platform and changed the stability mechanism from a J-Frame to an H-Frame to accommodate the softer foam. The result is pillowy goodness with a more accommodating fit for those with higher-volume feet.
Who It’s Best For
The HOKA Gaviota 5 is a great stability shoe for those who have flexible arches or overpronate and want a super soft, super cushioned shoe. Whether you are running, walking or standing on your feet all day, the Gaviota will make sure that you are supported and comfortable.
Why You’ll Love It
You will love how the HOKA Gaviota 5 makes each step luxurious, plush and stable.

Surprisingly comfortable Hoka
I love the all-blue Hoka color. This is my first pair of Hoka and my feet feel great. I did get them wider than I usually get in my running shoes and I love it.

Stiff, Seems older, heavy
I wouldn't have purchased this in store. Fits tight and heavy. Not like the previous six pairs I've owned.

Great Shoes for support
These are great shoes for support. One foot has been bothering me for over a year. After wearing these for a day, it felt much better. When I go a lot in one day, these will be better for my feet.
