FAQs
Are the HOKA Solimar 2 shoes good for long-distance running?
These are primarily designed as daily, versatile trainers for moderate activity. While they are comfortable, runners looking for high-mileage performance may prefer specialized marathon or distance-specific HOKA models.
Can these trainers be worn for weightlifting?
Yes, their stable platform and balanced midsole make them suitable for gym-based resistance training, though they are not specialized lifting shoes with flat, hard soles.
How should I clean my Grey/Green Solimar 2s?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to spot clean. Avoid submerging the shoes or using a washing machine.
Is the fit true to size?
The Solimar 2 features an accommodating fit. Most users find they fit true to size, but consider your preferred width and sock thickness when selecting your size.
What is the primary benefit of the extended crash pad?
The extended crash pad at the heel is designed to provide better shock absorption and a smoother transition from the initial heel strike to the toe-off phase of your stride.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Try adjusting your lacing technique, such as using a gap-lacing or window-lacing method to relieve pressure on the bridge of the foot.
Heel slippage while walking or exercising
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'runner's loop' or heel lock to better secure your heel in the plush collar.
Outsole debris collection
Regularly inspect the tread patterns and use a stiff-bristled brush to remove pebbles or debris that may get caught in the rubber flex grooves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Solimar 2 trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can break down the adhesives and foam integrity. Instead, clean the exterior using a soft brush or a cloth with mild soap and cold water to remove dirt. Ensure the shoes are air-dried in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources like radiators. For optimal fit, ensure your socks are of an appropriate thickness for your activity level, and check that the laces are adjusted to provide a secure lockdown without cutting off circulation. Replace your trainers once the midsole compression foam loses its ability to rebound or the outsole rubber is worn down to the foam layer.
