FAQs

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

It is designed as a daily trainer for moderate movement; while capable of short runs, it may lack the specific technology needed for marathon-length performance.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand cleaning is recommended.

What is the primary benefit of the extended crash pad?

The extended crash pad provides increased surface area for heel strikers, helping to distribute impact forces more evenly.

Are these true to size?

Most users find them true to standard UK sizing, but the accommodating fit provides slightly more room than previous performance-specific HOKA models.

Can I remove the insole to use my own orthotics?

Yes, the provided insole is removable, making it compatible with most custom or aftermarket orthotic inserts.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Solimar 2 features a breathable mesh upper that is not treated for water resistance.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels too tight across the instep

Loosen the lacing system starting from the bottom eyelets to increase volume through the midfoot.

Slipping at the heel while walking

Use a runner's loop (heel lock lacing) to better secure the ankle collar against your heel.

Rapid outsole wear

Ensure you are using the shoe on appropriate surfaces like asphalt or gym flooring; avoid rough gravel or abrasive off-road terrain.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with extra rubber in high-wear areas
  • Highly versatile design suitable for street to studio use
  • Plush, comfortable heel collar reduces friction
  • Balanced cushioning offers good ground feel and stability

Cons

  • Not intended for technical terrain or heavy-duty trail running
  • Moderate cushioning might feel too firm for fans of extreme HOKA softness
  • Limited to road and gym surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Solimar 2 trainers last, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. If the shoes become dirty, gently wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap. Remove the laces and insole before cleaning to allow them to air dry separately in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators. For optimal fit, ensure the laces are adjusted to accommodate the midfoot volume, and always check the outsole for debris to maintain traction on studio floors or paved paths.
