Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Solimar 2 is a versatile, everyday trainer designed for individuals who need a seamless transition from daily errands to light exercise sessions. Offering a balanced midsole and an approachable stack height, it provides reliable comfort and a secure, accommodating fit; however, those looking for a highly technical performance shoe for marathon-level distance running may find the design more suited for casual training and gym work.

FAQs
Is the HOKA Solimar 2 suitable for long-distance running?
The Solimar 2 is designed primarily as an everyday trainer for daily routines and light gym work rather than for high-mileage distance running.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
It is built on a neutral platform, meaning it offers balanced support suitable for most foot types, but it does not contain aggressive medial posting for severe overpronation.
How should I clean my HOKA Solimar 2 trainers?
Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using a dryer or harsh chemicals, as these can compromise the glue and foam materials.
Can I remove the insoles to use orthotics?
Yes, the interior liner is typically removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed.
Is the fit true to size?
The Solimar 2 features an accommodating fit that generally runs true to standard sizing for most adult feet.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while walking
Try using the top eyelet to create a runner's loop, which secures the heel more firmly against the collar.
Build-up of dirt on the midsole
Use a soft-bristled brush or an old toothbrush with warm water to gently scrub the foam surface.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile design suitable for both studio work and casual walking
- Enhanced durability via strategic rubber placement
- Comfort-focused heel construction prevents slipping
- Stable and approachable platform for everyday wear
Cons
- Not intended for high-intensity technical performance running
- Limited to neutral support profiles
- Style is focused on daily utility over rugged trail performance
Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Solimar 2 features a standard lacing system designed to provide a secure, customizable fit. To maintain the life of your trainers, ensure you untie the laces before removing the shoes to protect the heel counter from damage. Compatibility-wise, the neutral arch profile accommodates most foot shapes, though it is recommended to test the fit with your preferred socks. For care, avoid putting these trainers in a washing machine; instead, wipe away dirt with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the midsole materials from hardening or cracking.
