HOKA ONE ONE GAVIOTA 2 WOMEN'S MEDIUM AND WIDE
Best Stability Running Shoe for Overpronators
Description
The recommendation for runners who overpronate is typically a sturdy stability shoe that will provide ankle support. Unfortunately, that stability comes at the cost of a rigid shoe that isn't always comfortable for running/walking.
The HOKA ONE ONE Gaviota 2 employs the HOKA J-Frame™ rubberized foam design to support and protect your foot without using rigid materials. This combined with the late stage meta-rocker, moderate heel bevel and flat waisted geometry is the basis for a supportive, energetic running stability shoe.
While traditional stability shoes can be unforgiving, The Gaviota 2 is a stability shoe that will show you mercy without sacrificing support.
- Tech term: Late stage meta-rocker
- Which means: A running shoe design that encourages a healthy gait. Late stage meta-rocker provides more support for wobbly ankles.
