• HOKA Anacapa Mid GORE-TEX Chaussures pour Homme en Castlerock Taille 45 1 3.
• zapatillas de running HOKA ultra trail talla 38.
• Hoka fans wanting a cushioned, low-drop, long-distance shoe in their collection.

For many runners, the major drawback of the impressive zapatillas de running HOKA ONE ONE hombre constitución media talla 39 its notably low drop (2.2 mm). We think that if you're a runner who isn't keen on or simply can't use very low drop shoes, this isn't the best pick for you. Instead, consider the ASICS Kayano 30 Scarpe HOKA ONE ONE Arahi 5 Wide 1115011 Bwht.

Marca de la casa y un apartado innegociable en estas Zinal de HOKA también esa característica Saucony Tempus is a strong and cheaper contender. For a Hoka alternative, the Gaviota 4, the previous iteration, is well-regarded for that—if you don't mind the extra weight.

At our lab, we measured the heel of the Gaviota 5 using a caliper. We discovered that it has 34.9 mm of stack height.

Based on this, we believe any heel striker, regardless of their weight, will find the cushioning in the Gaviota 5 more than adequate.

The Gaviota 5 really stands out in the forefoot area compared to most stability shoes on the market. Many of these shoes target heel strikers and often lack foam in the forefoot. However, we found that the Gaviota 5 is different. 

HOKA Ora Recovery Shoe 2 pour Femme en Black Taille 36.

The heel-to-toe drop is really low. We measured it carefully in our lab and found a difference of just 2.2 mm. This makes the Gaviota 5 almost like an Altra shoe in terms of its low drop.

What does this design mean? Well, if you are prone to calf or Achilles tendon issues, this shoe might not be the best fit for you.

It's also not ideal for extreme heel strikers who usually prefer shoes with a higher drop. However, we think it's one of the best stability shoes ever made for forefoot strikers.

While the Gaviota 4 is a decent shoe, we found it probably too firm. Given our experience with brands over the years, we anticipated they would introduce a softer version in their next update. But the extent of the change surprised us.

We measured the foam of the Gaviota 5 in our lab and found it to be at 12.9 HA, which is 120% softer when compared to v4.

This remarkably low number makes it one of the softest shoes we've ever tested. And it means the signature cloud-like cushioning of Hoka shoes is back.

Soft foam is a challenge for a stability-focused shoe. Hoka addressed this potential issue in several innovative ways, which we'll delve into throughout this review. Their first go-to solution? Integrating a firmer, secondary foam (blue) into the arch, heel, and tip areas.

This choice ensures that even with the ultra-soft main foam, the slightly harder secondary foam—measuring at 22.0 HA—provides balance without sacrificing that plush sensation.

The shoe's main foam doesn't fare well in cold conditions. It turns disappointingly firm.

After subjecting the shoe to a cold 20-minute stay in the freezer, we tested it again, and the reading was a discouraging 22.8 HA.

This significant 76.6% increase drastically alters the shoe's feel in colder conditions—a major shortcoming for a shoe premium-priced at $175.

So, what's the reason behind this? The issue stems from the Gaviota 5's midsole, which uses EVA foam known to underdeliver in chilly temperatures. Skechers talla 49.5 Mach X, we're hopeful to see this upgrade in the Gaviota 6 to address this flaw.

The Gaviota line is all about comfort, and the insole plays a huge role here. We've measured it, and at 5.0 mm, it's just what we wanted.

Be a trailblazer in the HOKA Speedgoat 5.

Unlike many Hoka models, the Gaviota 5 boasts an ultra-roomy toebox at 99.7 mm—perfect for wide-footed runners. Even better, a wide sizing option is available for this model!

The strong taper seen in most Hoka daily trainers? Completely gone! Instead, it features a rounded toe cap that promotes superior toe splay. After testing, we measured the big toe area of the gel mold at a spacious 77.2 mm.

This measurement is significantly broader than most running shoes. From our perspective, if you have a Roman foot—where the first four toes are evenly aligned—you’ll appreciate this extra room for enhanced comfort.

While the Clifton and Bondi series emphasize a narrower width and more generous height, the Gaviota takes a different approach. We found its height to be slightly limited at 26.8 mm, though still close to the average.

Given its stability-oriented geometry and the new Hoka H-Frame, we anticipated the Gaviota 5 would shine in this test. And, sure enough, it does!

When we twisted the shoe, it felt stiff—just as a stability shoe should, to prevent lateral movement. We gave it a 4/5 rating.

In the heel, we discovered it wasn't as stiff as we anticipated. Considering the shoe already feels quite stable, we believe this is a good decision because flexibility in the heel enhances comfort.

We noted a 3/5 rating that aligns more with a daily running shoe.

The secret sauce in the Gaviota 5's recipe for stability is its incredibly wide design. With a forefoot width of 125.1 mm, it broke all our lab records. It's M-A-S-S-I-V-E.

The heel continues on this wide trend. We measured it at 106.6 mm, which, when compared to the average, stands out immensely.

This broad base allows the shoe to maintain stability while still offering comfort and a plush feel.

During our 90-degree bend test in the lab, we had to apply 32.7N of force to bend the shoe to the desired point.

While this isn't an extremely high force, for a training shoe without a plate, it's notably stiff.

After putting the Gaviota 5 in freezing temperatures for 20 minutes, we ran the same test. This time, we measured a force of 40.2N.

This is a 22.7% difference, which is quite impressive! This shows us that regardless of the temperature you're running in, the Gaviota 5's stiffness doesn't vary much.

When we placed the Gaviota 5 on our scale, we were really surprised. Weighing in at 10.5 oz or 299g for a US size 9, we found that this shoe is relatively light, especially given the significant amount of foam it contains.

Moreover, it's 25g lighter than its predecessor. What an improvement!

We couldn't wait to get our hands on the Pantofi bărbați Hoka One One. Improving an already fantastic shoe like the Gaviota 4 is no easy feat for any brand. Yet, there was one area ready for improvement—breathability.

In our lab, we put the shoe to the test with our cutting-edge smoke-pumping machine to gauge airflow. The results? Bravo! This Hoka nailed it with a perfect score—a 5 out of 5.

Holding the shoe up to the light, we were thrilled to see it with lots of ventilation holes. And not just in the usual spots like the toebox.

Surprisingly, even the medial part boasts these holes—a game-changer for those of us prone to hotspots or blisters in our arches.

Looking through the microscope, we spotted an impressively thin engineered mesh, generously packed with hundreds of ventilation holes.

And here's another reason for this fantastic performance: the inside of the upper. While most brands go cheap and use plain fabric that doesn't breathe at all, Hoka did better by using a fabric with ventilation holes.

After checking out how well the Gaviota 5 breathes, we headed to another part of the lab to see how durable it is. Durability tests can be tough for ventilated uppers.

As we suspected, when we used the Dremel on the upper at 5K RPM, it did get some slander. But with a score of 2/5, this shoe held up better than many others we've tested!

The heel didn't hold up as well as the toebox. It's clear Hoka went for a softer material in the heel, aiming for comfort.

But in doing so, they sacrificed durability. We were disappointed and had to rate it a low 1/5 for this test.

To cut down on weight, we discovered that Hoka designed the Gaviota's fifth version with more exposed foam and minimal rubber in the outsole.

We measured the rubber's hardness at 83.1 HC. They chose a tougher-than-usual rubber, ensuring the shoe would last enough miles.

However, sometimes the durometer score doesn't reflect real-world toughness.

Because we're always keen to test shoes rigorously, we used the Dremel in the lab once more to see how much rubber wore away after 20 seconds.

We measured a wear of 0.9 mm, which is okay. This leads us to believe the outsole will hold up well, though it's not particularly extraordinary.

With a thickness of 3.8 mm, Hoka smartly exceeded the average to extend the shoe's life.

However, we feel adding even more rubber would be interesting. Thanks to its minimal coverage, increasing the thickness beyond 4 millimeters wouldn't result in a noticeable weight gain for this shoe.

We're all about the tiny details, and here's a perfect example! Hoka added these shiny reflective parts on the back that look like seagulls.

And just so you know, "gaviota" is how you say "seagull" in Spanish!

The tongue thickness measures in at 8.6 mm, so it's super padded.

We discovered that this padding helps protect the instep from issues like lace bite. Still, we think Hoka should shave off 1-2 mm in the next version to make the shoe even lighter.

Hoka rocks a unique one-side semi-gusseted tongue—a feature not many brands sport.

On the back of the shoe, Hoka put in a finger-loop heel tab. We found that it doesn't just give the shoe a cool look—it also makes getting our feet in way easier!
