Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Gaviota 6 is a premium stability trainer designed for adult runners who need reliable support for overpronation without the stiff, heavy feel of traditional stability shoes. By utilizing advanced H-frame technology, it provides a smooth, cushioned gait cycle that is ideal for daily training; however, its maximalist design may feel too substantial for those who prefer a ground-feel or racing-flat experience.

FAQs
Is the Gaviota 6 suitable for overpronation?
Yes, it is specifically designed with H-frame technology to stabilize the foot and combat overpronation.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Absolutely. The responsive EVA midsole and high-abrasion outsole are well-suited for the high mileage required in marathon training.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap; never machine wash.
Do these shoes provide good visibility at night?
Yes, they include integrated reflective details to help increase visibility in low-light conditions.
How do I ensure a good fit?
The Gaviota 6 features an internal lacing system that provides a locked-in feel; ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch or midfoot
Adjust the internal lacing system to ensure the midfoot lock is snug but not overly tight.
Shoe feels slippery on wet roads
Ensure the high-abrasion rubber outsole is kept free of debris and mud to maintain optimal traction.
Heel slippage while running
Utilize the 'runner's loop' or 'lock-down' lacing technique to better secure the heel against the comfort collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your HOKA Gaviota 6 trainers, start by properly adjusting the internal lacing system; ensure your heel is seated firmly against the comfort collar before tightening. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft-bristle brush and wipe down the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid putting them in the washing machine or dryer as high heat can degrade the cushioning and adhesives. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the shape and performance of the EVA foam.
