Men's HOKA ONE ONE Gaviota 5

Max out your run with the Hoka Gaviota 5. This shoe delivers a maximum level of soft, bouncy cushioning that has propelled Hoka to the top of running along with a new H-Frame stability system that provides seamless support through the entire gait cycle on both the lateral and medial side. With a softer ride and wider toe box, this chunky boy is a great shoe for running at easy paces, especially over longer distances.

WHY PACERS CARRIES THESE SHOES:

Who said a stability running shoe can’t have a soft and smooth ride? Whoever said that never ran in the Hoka Gaviota 5. With Hoka’s signature lightweight and soft midsole foam and a new H-Frame for stability, this shoe provides plenty of support for overpronators while retaining the seamless transitions of a max-cushioned neutral shoe. This is the perfect shoe for runners looking for maximum cushion and stability.

WHAT’S NEW:

With the Gaviota 5, Hoka has remade their max-cushion stability shoe with a new H-Frame technology that provides both medial and lateral support for overpronators and supinators.

A wider outsole adds even more inherent stability to the shoe. The new creel jacquard mesh upper is more accommodating, especially in the toe box, making this shoe a great fit for folks looking for plenty of toe room.

A softer midsole foam and more aggressive rocker shape result in an even smoother ride in a package nearly a full ounce lighter than its predecessor.

WHO THESE SHOES ARE FOR:

Runners of all abilities running long distance or easy paces.

Walkers of all abilities.

People who are on their feet all day for work.
