Stability That Doesn't Feel Stiff

The men's Gaviota 6 is HOKA's max-cushion stability shoe, for runners who want extra guidance without a hard, blocky feel. An updated H-Frame shapes the midsole to keep the foot centered, with soft compression-molded foam on top.

Version 6 adds a plusher collar, a new mesh upper and ghillie-style laces sewn inside, which spreads lace pressure across the top of the foot for a secure, even fit.

The Technology

H-Frame
A stabilizing frame built into the midsole instead of a firm medial post.

Compression-Molded Foam

Internal Ghillie Lacing
Lace loops inside the upper for a snug hold without hot spots.

Extra padding around the ankle.

Who This Shoe Is For

• Men whose feet roll inward and want a cushioned stability shoe
