Advice for Road Runners:Experience high levels of cushioning and stability with the HOKA Women's Gaviota 5 Running Shoes. The Gaviota 5 demonstrates that it is possible to have both soft cushioning and high support.
Underfoot Feel
The HOKA Gaviota 5 Running Shoes offer a very stable and cushioned underfoot feel.
The stability mainly stems from two sources:
- HOKA's stabilising H-Frame which sits on top of - and interlocks with - the midsole.
- A broad midsole and outsole which provide a stable platform from which to land and push off from.
The Gaviota also feature an early stage MetaRocker, which provides a curvature to the midsole that helps you to move through the gait cycle with greater ease and efficiency.

You should expect an accommodating fit from the HOKA Gaviota 5 Running Shoes' upper. The creel jacquard mesh upper has a plush tongue and heel collar.

Sizing Advice
Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.
Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).
This usually means thatyour running shoewill beat least a half size bigger than your regular shoe sizethough this can vary from brand to brand.
The outsole's configuration provides reliable grip on both wet and dry surfaces, oatmeal shoes.
