Forget what you thought you knew about stability shoes. The Gaviota 5’s stabilizing H-Frame™ has allowed us to implement softer foams than ever before. Delivering inherent stability without compromising cushioning, we’ve paired our intuitive H-Frame base with a breathable creel jacquard upper, ultra-plush collar, and Bondi-level cushioning to deliver that signature HOKA ride.

Sizing
Length: True to size
Width and toebox: Roomy, rounded toebox with good room for toe splay, noticeably wider than past Gaviotas. Standard and wide offered.
Fit notes: The heel is the weak point: it sits shallower than expected and the collar padding crumples, so some runners need the lace-lock eyelet. Midfoot and rearfoot volume is generous, so low-volume feet may find lockdown loose. No meaningful break-in.
