Top Reasons to Buy the Men’s Hoka One One Cavu
If you’ve been meaning to check out Hoka One One’s new PROFLY™ cushioning system, you’ll find it in the midsole of the men’s Cavu. It’s a dual-density midsole - softer in the heel, firmer in the forefoot - so you can enjoy soft, forgiving landings while scoring quick and responsive toe-offs.
The upper in the men’s Hoka One One Cavu is seriously one to be reckoned with. The way it cradles your foot is so soft and snug that it’ll feel more like a slipper than a beastly running shoe.
These shoes are the shining definition of versatile: light enough to compete in, strong enough to train in, and stylish enough to wear as casual footwear. The simple, yet bold look of the Cavu transforms your athletic performance shoes into street-style kicks.
What People Are Saying About the Men’s Hoka One One Cavu
Many testers report that the Cavu hits the sweet spot between cushioning and responsiveness. As a Level 4 cushioned shoe, you’ll find it delivers a plush ride with long-lasting comfort, while still serving up an energized, springy rebound. You’ll feel like you’re pushing off the ground rather than sinking into it.
People were surprised by how lightweight the men’s Hoka One One Cavu felt when taking them out of the box, given how stately it seems in size. When you slip them on, they’ll virtually disappear on your feet and turn into a second skin - meaning less irritation on all your runs.

Size and Fit of the Men’s Hoka One One Cavu
General Size and Fit
The Cavu is structured for standard width in a men’s D, but our Fit Experts recommend going up a half size from your true foot size when making your selection.
Upper
The single-piece mesh in the upper has no seams or stitches that could aggravate your feet. Not only is the material super soft and comfy, but it’s also incredibly breathable. Your feet get ample airflow as they kick into overdrive.
You’re also going to love the Lyrica® liner in the internal upper. Similar to overlay details found elsewhere, the Cavu keeps your feet firmly locked in for a supportive fit - minus the bulky add-ons.
Midsole
The men’s Cavu gives you the best of both worlds: a fast shoe with fantastic cushioning. Intelligent PROFLY™ cushioning in the midsole helps you take flight with each push off. Every landing is softened with top-level shock absorption, and transitions are quicker due to the dual-density foam material.
Outsole
The RMAT® outsole delivers high elasticity for a highly energized ride. The Hoka One One displays greater levels of rebound than traditional shoes. It’s also super durable, capable of taking quite the pounding and being able to bounce right back. Additionally, it serves up supreme grip - and this isn’t just any grip we’re talking about here. It latches onto angled, uneven surfaces for a ride that’s as reliable as it is fast.
