The i-Run team says
Optimized for increased stability and comfort, the Hoka One One Gaviota 5 Wide for men supports you during your regular running trainings on roads and marked trails. It is suitable for both neutral and pronating strides during outings over short to medium distances, up to a half marathon.
Hoka One One Gaviota 5 Wide, for which type of athlete, what use, what distance, and what surface?
This new model is designed for all runners, regardless of their level, from beginner to the most experienced. Particularly stable, it is essential for pronating strides to reduce overpronation by providing extra support inside the foot.
It is perfectly suited for short to medium distances, up to a half marathon.
The Gaviota 5 Wide accompanies you during your daily running training and your walking outings on roads and trails.
Gaviota 5 Wide, how should it be used?
+ It combines stability and agility to provide the necessary support for your training to proceed smoothly. Specifically designed to ensure smooth transitions and guide your foot, this new version offers optimal support without compromising cushioning.
- It is not the most suitable for maintaining an intense pace during competitions, for which we recommend the Hoka One One Mach X, very effective for 5 and 10 kilometers.
Why choose the Gaviota 5 Wide running shoe?
This brand-new model offers several advantages:

Technologies
-
Meta-Rocker
The Meta-Rocker midsole geometry, specifically designed with a low heel-to-toe drop and a sculpted outsole radius at the heel and toes, creates a unique pivot point effect that promotes a guided gait cycle.
-
Profil de semelle incurvé équilibré sous les métas
The geometry of the midsole with a curved profile under the metatarsals is designed to reduce fatigue and promote a smooth and predictable foot roll throughout the stride. The midsole geometry with a curved profile under the metatarsals starts further from the instep, with a transition zone placed in front of the metatarsal heads. This provides a more stable base for metatarsal support.
-
J-Frame
This technology enhances the bucket seat. It offers support and protection while guiding your foot without rigid materials that offer little tolerance. It is designed to combat pronation and guide the foot smoothly without using rigid materials.
-
H-Frame
The H-Frame lacing system ensures better midfoot support.
