FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The Solimar 2 is designed as a daily trainer for general use and shorter runs. For dedicated long-distance training, consider models with higher energy return cushioning.
Can I use these for HIIT workouts?
Yes, the stable midsole and accommodating fit make them well-suited for gym-based studio classes and HIIT workouts.
How do I ensure I get the correct fit?
HOKA trainers typically follow standard athletic sizing. We recommend measuring your feet while wearing socks to ensure sufficient room in the toe box.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the upper is designed with materials intended to provide adequate airflow for casual and light training use.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, daily trainers should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your usage intensity and surface type.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the stock insole is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable in the shoe
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly across the midfoot and the heel is fully seated in the heel cup.
Outsole losing traction
Clean the bottom of the shoes to remove packed dirt or small stones that may be blocking the grip pattern.
Visible wear on upper fabric
Ensure your toenails are trimmed to prevent internal friction and avoid using the shoes for activities involving abrasive surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Solimar 2 trainers, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources when not in use. If they become dirty, remove excess mud with a soft brush and wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can damage the foam cushioning and adhesives. Regularly check the outsole for debris lodged in the tread patterns to maintain optimal traction.
