Hoka Gaviota 6 review: what runners say

Fit
Wide fit, more contained than version 5 thanks to a more vertical, less voluminous base. Available in D, 2E, and 4E (men) and B, D, and 2E (women).
Feel
Max cushioning with H-Frame that guides the stride without locking the foot. The MetaRocker promotes transition; the ride is stable and smooth at easy paces.
Durability
RunRepeat notes overall good durability with a Durabrasion rubber outsole. Expected mileage not explicitly quantified by sources.
Best for
Runners and walkers requiring maximum stability with a wide or flat foot. Suited for slow paces, long runs, and extended daily use including work shifts.
Weak points
The CMEVA foam is considered technologically dated. Some runners report pressure on the instep due to a shorter tongue compared to the v5.
