The men's Hoka Gaviota 5 wide running shoe is engineered for runners seeking maximum stability and cushioning. This fifth iteration of the Gaviota series features Hoka's signature J-Frame™ technology, which provides dynamic support to guide the foot naturally without the use of rigid materials. The shoe's midsole is crafted from CMEVA foam, offering exceptional comfort and shock absorption for long-distance runs or extended wear. Additionally, the wide fit ensures ample room in the toe box, accommodating those with broader feet or requiring extra space for orthotics.

The upper of the Hoka Gaviota 5 wide is constructed with an engineered mesh that enhances breathability while maintaining a secure and supportive fit. This design helps keep the feet cool and dry, even during intense workouts. The shoe also includes a molded Ortholite® sockliner, which adds an extra layer of cushioning and moisture-wicking properties. With its combination of support, cushioning, and fit, the Hoka Gaviota 5 wide is ideal for overpronators or runners who prioritize comfort and stability on their runs.

Hoka describe the Gaviota 5 as: Forget what you thought you knew about stability shoes. The Gaviota 5’s new stabilising 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.
