The Gaviota is HOKA's most supportive shoe: a genuinely max-cushioned platform with real stability built in. It suits runners who need guidance and want softness, and it is a strong choice for long hours on your feet.
The toebox is unusually roomy for a stability shoe, one of the roomiest in the category. Heel lockdown is secure with a well-padded, mildly flexible heel counter, and an internal lacing system wraps the midfoot for a locked-in hold. The mesh feels snug at first and relaxes with wear. Not the right pick for very narrow feet.
Best for: Easy and recovery miles, overpronation, all-day comfort

Fit: Roomy toebox; regular, wide and extra-wide offered
