Our verdict

As a motion control shoe, the Hoka Gaviota worked well for us, as we wanted to have a mix of cushioning and support. For us, it absolutely looked appealing and it generally performed well. We felt that it was suitably able to provide reliable service in preventing overpronated foot motion.

The outsole unit of the Hoka Gaviota makes use of the Hi-Abrasion Lightweight Rubber, which we proved to be a durable rubber material. We found that it is able to shield the foam midsole unit from the potentially damaging nature of the surfaces. It also responsibly delivers the necessary amount of traction for road running.

Flex grooves mark the surface of the outsole. They basically make the platform more flexible, so our feet are able to move more naturally through the gait cycle.

The RMAT J-Frame is a stability unit that serves to prevent overpronated foot motion. Made from a blend of EVA and rubber, we located this firm material in a J-shape from the medial side of the platform. Aside from keeping the foot stable and in a neutral position, we discovered that it also heightens the overall durability of the platform, particularly in the external section.

The platform also has a Late-Stage Meta-Rocker Geometry, which means that it assumes the shape of a rocker. This design allowed our feet to move more gracefully from the toe-off to the landing.

A Molded Ortholite foam insole adds a bit more cushioning to the immediate underfoot. It has anti-microbial and anti-moisture properties, so it’s able to keep our feet clean and healthy.

We learned that a lightweight yet breathable material is used as the main fabric for the upper unit of the Hoka Gaviota. We actually felt that it accommodates airflow, enabling air to enter the shoe, thereby keeping our feet cool and dry.
A breathable fabric lining provided our feet with a soft and comfortable in-foot sensation. It’s soft and it doesn’t have any unnecessary seams.

The tongue and collar are padded, so we felt that the upper dimensions of our feet are well taken care of. We realized that they also prevent accidental shoe removals.

A convenient pull tab is placed in the heel section of the upper, which makes it easier for us to actually put on and remove the shoe.

The midfoot area features the Arch-Lock Wings, which are extra layers that are connected to the lacing system. We found that they help in terms of locking our mid-foot in place, stabilizing it, and preventing it from sustaining discomfort or injury during the activity.
