Gaviota 5

StabilityReleased 2023-08-01JP

Gaviota 5 is a substantially updated stability shoe for runners who want support without giving up cushioning. Its new H-Frame midsole support works with CMEVA to combine Bondi-like cushioning and stable geometry. A breathable creel jacquard upper and gusseted tongue help secure the fit, while a Durabrasion Rubber outsole covers road contact. It balances cushioning and stability for daily and longer road runs.
