FAQs

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

The Solimar 2 is designed primarily as a versatile daily trainer. While it handles light jogging well, it is not specifically optimized for high-mileage marathon training.

Can I use these for heavy weightlifting?

The plush cushioning is designed for comfort and impact protection, which may result in less ground stability compared to flat, hard-soled weightlifting shoes.

How do I check my HOKA size?

HOKA sizes are standard, but if you are between sizes, we recommend opting for a half-size up to account for potential foot expansion during activity.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Solimar 2 is not waterproof. They are made of breathable fabrics that will absorb water if submerged or used in heavy rain.

How long should the Solimar 2 last?

With standard daily use, you can typically expect between 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of your activities and the terrain.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of discomfort or pinching

Re-lace the shoes using a 'window' lacing technique to relieve pressure on the top of the foot.

Sole grip feels slippery on wet surfaces

Ensure the outsoles are free of debris and mud, which can diminish traction on slick surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stable platform for varied activities
  • Reinforced durability in high-wear areas
  • Plush heel cushioning for all-day comfort
  • Sleek and versatile aesthetic for casual wear

Cons

  • Not intended for specialized technical running
  • Less breathable than dedicated performance track shoes
  • Available in specific size runs which may vary by retailer

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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

  1. Fit: Ensure you have a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during the day.
  2. Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized cleaning. Do not machine wash or dry, as this can degrade the midsole foam.
  3. Drying: Air dry only. Remove the insole to allow the interior to dry completely after getting wet or intense activity.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent rubber degradation or foam hardening.
