FAQs

Is the Solimar 2 good for running?

It is designed as a daily trainer suitable for varied fitness routines, though it is best suited for shorter runs and daily activity rather than competitive marathon racing.

How does the fit compare to other HOKA models?

The Solimar 2 offers an updated, more accommodating fit compared to some of the narrower racing-focused HOKA models.

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, it is recommended to spot clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap to protect the longevity of the materials.

Does this shoe provide extra stability?

It features a balanced midsole and an extended crash pad, which provide a stable base, but it is classified as a neutral trainer rather than a motion-control shoe.

What is the primary use for the extra rubber on the outsole?

The extra rubber is placed in high-wear zones to combat early degradation and increase the overall lifespan of the trainer.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure on the top of the foot

Try adjusting your lacing technique, such as using a window lacing method, to relieve pressure on the midfoot.

Premature wear on the outsole

Ensure you are using the shoes primarily on hard, flat surfaces and avoid abrasive gravel or rough terrain for which this road trainer is not designed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for gym, street, and casual use
  • Enhanced durability with extra rubber in high-wear areas
  • Balanced cushioning provides comfort without feeling bulky
  • Updated fit is more accommodating for diverse foot shapes

Cons

  • Not intended for specialized high-performance racing
  • Specific colourway limited to Grey/Green styling
  • Midsole balance may feel different than maximalist HOKA models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Solimar 2 trainers maintain their performance, consider these maintenance tips: Always unlace your shoes when putting them on or taking them off to preserve the structure of the heel counter. If the shoes become dirty, gently brush off loose debris with a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid fully submerging the trainers in water or using a washing machine, as high heat and heavy agitation can degrade the adhesives and foam. For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK size, as the accommodating fit is designed to work best when you have a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box.
