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.
