HOKA Clifton 10 vs Gaviota 6

The HOKA Gaviota 6 and HOKA Clifton 10 are two of the most popular shoes just within HOKA’s lineup, and across the daily trainer market more generally. The Clifton 10 is the simpler, more straightforward running shoe, offering a higher-stacked and well-cushioned ride that works well for short, easy runs. It also has a naturally stable platform, even though it doesn't use any dedicated guidance features. The Gaviota 6, on the other hand, is the more corrective option, using guidance elements such as the H-frame system to actively help manage overpronation and keep your stride on track. That makes the Gaviota 6 the better choice if you want support and structure, while the Clifton 10 makes more sense if you just want a reliable, cushioned neutral trainer.
