Hoka Gaviota 6

The HOKA Gaviota 6 men's running shoe in navy blue, size 42, offers extensive support and cushioning for runners who need stability during their training. This successor to the Gaviota 5 features HOKA's J-Frame technology, which provides dynamic stability through a firmer foam density along the medial side of the midsole, guiding the foot through a natural gait cycle without relying on rigid supports. The midsole is made of fully compressed EVA foam for consistent cushioning and energy return, complemented by an early meta-rocker geometry that promotes smooth transitions from heel to toe. The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and a secure fit, with strategically placed zones for support and flexibility. The outsole uses high-abrasion rubber in high-wear areas for increased durability, while the extended heel cap offers additional stability. The Gaviota 6 is suitable for road running and daily training, accommodating medium to high foot arches. The shoe weighs approximately 310 g per pair in size 42. The stack height is 32 mm at the heel and 27 mm at the forefoot, resulting in a 5 mm drop. The internal tongue, connected to the shaft, helps prevent dirt from entering and enhances fit security.
