Full details

FAQs
Is the Gaviota 6 suitable for neutral runners?
While it is specifically engineered for overpronators, neutral runners who prefer a highly stable and cushioned platform may also find the Gaviota 6 comfortable.
How do I know if I need stability shoes?
If you notice your arches collapsing or your ankles rolling inward when running, you likely require a stability shoe like the Gaviota 6.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Gaviota 6 features a breathable mesh upper designed for airflow and is not waterproof.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics if required.
How long should these trainers last?
Typically, these shoes provide optimal performance for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Loosen the internal lacing system and try a different lacing technique, such as skipping the eyelet over the pressure point.
Heel slippage while running
Use the runner's loop (heel lock) lacing method with the top eyelet to secure the heel more firmly in the collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your HOKA Gaviota 6, start by utilizing the internal lacing system to adjust the midfoot tension until you feel a secure lockdown without cutting off circulation. If you use custom orthotics, ensure you remove the factory-fitted insole before inserting your own to maintain proper volume inside the shoe.
For care and maintenance:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry only at room temperature. Never place shoes near direct heat sources like radiators or in the dryer, as this can damage the cushioning materials and glues.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the foam midsole.
