Our verdict

The Hoka hoka one one gaviota 2 1099629 lath aims to retain the strengths of its regular version while adding a waterproof membrane. However, in our experience, it lands in a middle ground. While it maintains the same stability, grip, and cushioning as the non-waterproof version, the addition of Gore-Tex makes the shoe noticeably heavier and less agile. But for those seeking a comfortable, waterproof, and surprisingly breathable HOKA Mafate Speed 2 für Herren Größe 46, the hoka one one gaviota 2 1099629 lath stands out as a top choice. We really liked its balanced approach, and for runners prioritizing comfort and all-weather readiness, this Hoka could be the go-to option.

Who should NOT buy

The Hoka hoka one one gaviota 2 1099629 lath is undeniably heavy, and there's no getting around that fact. If lightness is your priority, we think it's a good idea to skip the waterproof feature due to the Gore-Tex membrane's weight.

zapatillas de running HOKA ONE ONE hombre media maratón placa de carbono Speedgoat 5 or the Nike Pegasus Trail 4. zapatillas de running HOKA constitución ligera naranjas mejor valoradas Nike Ultrafly is worth a look.

Hoka hoka one one gaviota 2 1099629 lath

Another aspect that didn't impress us in the lab was the hoka one one gaviota 2 1099629 lath's performance on extremely challenging terrains, like mud. For such conditions, a shoe with larger, chevron-shaped lugs, like the zapatillas de running HOKA ONE ONE amortiguación minimalista voladoras talla 46.5, will offer superior performance.

Hoka Speed Evo R | Breathability

The hoka one one gaviota 2 1099629 lath features a double-layer jacquard mesh with a Gore-Tex membrane. From our lab testing experiences with Gore-Tex shoes, we expected a low score in breathability—typically a 1 out of 5. But, to our surprise, the hoka one one gaviota 2 1099629 lath earned a 3 out of 5!

Why the higher score? While the toebox lacks airflow, Hoka opened up the tongue, allowing effective heat and moisture escape.

However, water can enter the shoe through the ventilated tongue. So, we recommend not submerging the shoe beyond that level.

When we held the upper to the light, the toebox and medial parts' lack of ventilation was evident—no light passed through.

For more evidence, we headed to our lab's microscope.

Hoka hoka one one gaviota 2 1099629 lath micro

There, we saw the thick, dense mesh we anticipated. After leaving the microscope, we examined the Speedgoat's unique construction.

Unlike most shoes, Hoka positioned the GTX membrane inside rather than outside the upper. Additionally, the mesh is made of 44% recycled materials, which is always a big plus!

The TPU overlays on the hoka one one gaviota 2 1099629 lath hinted at an impressive result—they cover a significant portion of the mesh.

True to our expectations, in our Dremel test, this shoe scored a 4 out of 5, nearly acing it. You can look forward to exceptional durability, even if you're hitting hard, rocky trails.

With a 2.5-mm thickness, the outsole of the hoka one one gaviota 2 1099629 lath has enough rubber to ensure long-lasting wear, judging from our previous results. There's nothing to worry about here, so let's move on.

Weight

Here's where it gets interesting. In the lab, the hoka one one gaviota 2 1099629 lath weighed in at 11.3 oz or 319g. In comparison, the non-GTX Speedgoat 5 is lighter, tipping the scales at 9.77 oz or 277g. This means it's 15% lighter.

So, the question is, do you need waterproofing enough to give up 1.5 oz of lightness?

Cushioning

Heel stack

The hoka one one gaviota 2 1099629 lath, with its 34.6 mm stack height, offers a high cushioning level, enabling runners to tackle long distances on trails. It's even suitable for those ultra races with river crossings or wet conditions.

Drop

We noticed a 7.0-mm drop from the forefoot to the heel, which is quite different from Hoka's stated 4-mm drop. But remember, in our lab, we stick to World Athletics guidelines. 

It's interesting to see these differences between what brands say and our findings. To understand more about why this happens, check out our detailed guide.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

In the midsole, we found CMEVA foam. This means no superfoams like PEBA for the Speedgoat 5 yet, and we don't expect them anytime soon.

Hoka hoka one one gaviota 2 1099629 lath

But, this foam performs really well, definitely enhancing the performance compared to regular EVA foam.

It's bouncy, comfortable, and softer than many running shoes. It scored 19.4 HA on our durometer test. To get an accurate result, we measured it after cutting the shoe in half, which is a necessary step.

After leaving the ice cream alone, the shoe was noticeably firmer, registering 30.3 HA on our test.

Stability

Lateral stability test

Regarding stability, the hoka one one gaviota 2 1099629 lath offers the same reliable, steady experience as its non-waterproof counterpart.

Hoka hoka one one gaviota 2 1099629 lath

While it's not specifically designed as a stability shoe, even runners needing a bit of support will find they fare quite well in this shoe.

Torsional rigidity

A significant part of the stability in the hoka one one gaviota 2 1099629 lath comes from its high torsional rigidity.

We rated it 4 out of 5, indicating it's quite substantial. So keep in mind that it may feel a bit stiff for those looking for a more flexible trail running experience.

Midsole width in the forefoot

One of the most celebrated aspects of the Speedgoat series is its stability, which might surprise runners at first glance.

Hoka manages to deliver fantastic stability, largely thanks to the previously mentioned torsional stiffness and also the shoe's impressive width. Measuring 116.7 mm, it provides a generous landing platform, effectively preventing the foot from collapsing laterally.

Flexibility

Stiffness

Since it doesn't have a rock plate or a carbon-fiber plate, we expected a low value in our 90-degree bend test, where we assess the shoe's longitudinal stiffness.

Indeed, we ended up with a pretty average value of 29.8N.

Size and fit

The fit is very comfortable, but don't expect a shoe crafted for those with wide feet.

Hoka hoka one one gaviota 2 1099629 lath

At 99.1 mm, it's designed to be comfortable but, at the same time, to enhance stability. We think this is the right approach for this shoe. However, if you plan on racing ultras, consider going half size up.
