FAQs

Is the HOKA Solimar 2 suitable for long-distance running?

While it provides comfortable cushioning for daily activities and shorter distances, it is designed as a versatile trainer for varied use rather than a high-mileage performance running shoe.

Does this shoe provide arch support?

The Solimar 2 features a balanced midsole that offers neutral support, which is sufficient for most adult users seeking a comfortable everyday trainer.

Can I use these for gym workouts like HIIT?

Yes, the stable base and added rubber protection make them quite effective for general gym exercises and moderate intensity movements.

How should I clean my Solimar 2 trainers?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap to spot clean the upper and midsole. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the structural integrity of the shoe.

Are these shoes true to size?

The Solimar 2 features an accommodating fit. If you typically wear a UK size 9.5 in HOKA products, this size should provide a consistent fit.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure or discomfort at the heel collar.

The collar is designed with extra plush material; ensure your socks are not bunching inside the heel and give the padding a few days of wear to compress and form to your specific foot shape.

Outsole wearing down prematurely.

While the shoe includes extra rubber in high-wear zones, inspect your gait for excessive heel dragging. If you use the shoes for high-intensity lateral gym work, ensure the surface is clean to prevent debris from accelerating wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for both street and studio use
  • Enhanced durability with extra rubber in high-wear zones
  • Comfort-focused construction with an ultra-plush heel
  • Accommodating fit that suits a variety of foot shapes
  • Approachable stack height for better ground feel

Cons

  • Not specifically built for high-performance speed or race training
  • Limited colorway options compared to some performance-only models
  • May require a break-in period for the plush collar

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Solimar 2 trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:

  • Fit: Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size, as the accommodating fit is designed to hold the foot securely without being overly restrictive.
  • Break-in: If you notice pressure around the heel, wear them for shorter durations for the first few days to allow the plush material to contour to your foot.
  • Cleaning: To clean, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive materials.
  • Drying: Always air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the midsole foam to warp.
