FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

While they are comfortable, they are designed as a versatile, all-purpose daily trainer rather than a dedicated high-mileage marathon shoe.

Can I use the Solimar 2 for weightlifting?

Yes, the balanced midsole and stable platform are suitable for general gym workouts and light weightlifting.

How does the fit compare to previous HOKA models?

The Solimar 2 features a more accommodating fit and a streamlined silhouette compared to older versions, providing more room in the forefoot.

Are these machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and foam density; please clean them by hand.

Does this model offer arch support?

The Solimar 2 is built on a neutral platform designed for standard foot strikes and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Heel slippage during movement

Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to increase tension around the ankle.

Midsole feeling less responsive over time

Foam compression is normal with use; ensure you rotate your shoes every 300-500 miles to allow the materials to recover.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for street-to-studio wear
  • Enhanced durability in high-wear areas
  • Approachable stack height for stability
  • Plush, comfortable heel collar

Cons

  • Not a dedicated shoe for high-intensity speed training
  • May feel too bulky for minimal-shoe enthusiasts
  • Limited to neutral-stability support profiles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Solimar 2 trainers maintain their performance, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Breaking In: These shoes feature an accommodating fit, but wear them for shorter periods during the first three days to allow the upper to adapt to your foot.
  2. Cleaning: Hand wash only using cold water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid the washing machine as it can degrade the foam's integrity.
  3. Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the midsole foam to warp.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place and ensure they are untied before removal to preserve the heel cup structure.
