FAQs
Is the HOKA Solimar 2 good for running?
It is designed as a daily trainer suitable for light jogging, gym sessions, and walking, rather than specialized long-distance racing.
Does the Solimar 2 offer arch support?
Yes, it features a balanced, neutral midsole construction that provides moderate support for various foot arches.
How should I clean my black HOKA Solimar 2 trainers?
Use a damp cloth and mild detergent to wipe down the exterior. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
Are these shoes true to size?
The Solimar 2 features an improved, more accommodating fit compared to its predecessor, generally fitting true to standard UK sizing.
Can I use these for studio classes like Pilates or Yoga?
Yes, the versatile profile and stable midsole make them a great choice for transitioning from outdoor walks to indoor studio sessions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the sides of the foot
Adjust the lacing pattern to be looser in the midfoot area or try a thinner sock to leverage the new accommodating fit.
Outsole collecting small stones or grit
Use a dull pick or firm-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the rubber tread patterns to maintain grip.
Minor slipping at the heel
Utilize the top eyelet to perform a 'runner's loop' or heel lock lacing technique to increase lockdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Solimar 2 trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the adhesive and midsole foam properties. Instead, clean surface dirt with a soft brush and mild soap, then air dry away from direct sunlight. Ensure you select the correct UK size for your foot shape, keeping in mind the improved, more accommodating fit of the 2nd generation series. Regularly inspect the rubber outsole for any embedded debris that could cause uneven wear over time.
