Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Gaviota 6 is designed for adult runners who require enhanced stability and cushioning to support their daily training miles. Its standout feature is the updated H-frame technology, which provides a smooth, guided gait cycle without the stiffness of traditional motion-control shoes. While it excels at mitigating overpronation, users should note that the plush comfort collar and high-stack cushioning may feel bulkier than minimalist racing shoes.

FAQs
Is the HOKA Gaviota 6 a stability shoe?
Yes, it is designed specifically for stability using H-frame technology to help manage overpronation.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Absolutely; the cushioning and support are built for high-mileage training and endurance efforts.
How should I clean the engineered mesh upper?
Spot clean with a soft cloth, cool water, and a mild detergent. Do not soak or put the shoes in the washing machine.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The upper is made of engineered mesh, which is breathable but not waterproof. They are not intended for use in heavy rain or deep puddles.

While they are comfortable out of the box, it is recommended to wear them for short walks before committing to long, intense runs.
What is the primary difference from previous versions?
The Gaviota 6 features an updated H-frame for better gait support and an improved, plusher collar for added comfort.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Loosen the internal ghillie lacing system and re-tie to ensure an even distribution of tension.
Shoe feels too tight after a long run
Feet often swell during exercise; consider loosening the laces halfway through your run or ensuring you have sufficient space in the toe box.
Outsole losing traction
Check the rubber tread for packed dirt or debris; use a soft brush to clear the grooves and restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your HOKA Gaviota 6 trainers, start by properly adjusting the internal ghillie lacing system. Pull the laces evenly to secure the midfoot, ensuring there is no excess pressure on the top of the arch. For compatibility, these shoes work well with most custom orthotics, provided the stock insole is removed first. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, which can damage the EVA foam and adhesive. Instead, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap if they get muddy. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can degrade the cushioning properties.
