FAQs
Is the Solimar 2 good for long-distance running?
While capable of light jogging, it is optimized as a daily trainer for casual wear and gym activity rather than long-distance endurance running.
Does this shoe come in wide widths?
The Solimar 2 is designed with an accommodating fit, which usually suits a wider range of feet, though specific wide-width versions should be checked against current inventory.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the stock insole is removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Is the Solimar 2 waterproof?
No, the materials used are designed for breathability and are not waterproof.
How should I store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent premature foam degradation and material fading.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the integrity of the shoe's materials; manual spot cleaning is the recommended method.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while walking
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique using the top eyelets to secure the ankle collar tighter.
Exterior getting dirty quickly
Use a soft brush to remove loose debris after use and wipe with a damp cloth.
Midsole feeling less responsive over time
Give the foam 24 hours of rest between intense sessions to allow the material to decompress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Solimar 2 is ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you wear appropriate athletic socks to maintain the intended feel of the cushioning. For sizing, the model offers an accommodating fit, but it is recommended to ensure you have roughly a thumb's width of space at the toe. To clean the trainers, wipe them with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not machine wash or tumble dry, as high heat can degrade the midsole foam and adhesives. Air dry away from direct sunlight.
