Customer Reviews Hoka Solimar

First pair, need more time wearing

The Solimar appears dressey (black with white bottom), light weight and comfortable. I only wish the top tongue area under the shoe laces would have more padding; it's so thin. Unbelievable for the price

I usually do a walk-to-jog workout on a treadmill, and this shoe performs well for that purpose. If you're planning to jog or run, I would recommend a shoe with more cushioning. However, I really love this shoe, and so far, it has outperformed the Nike counterpart I purchased around the same time.

I bought these for the color, specifically. The process to get them was perfect, i paid the extra to get them overnight. I was happy with the selection, the color, the ordering and the delivery. The fit is perfect and for the purpose they serve I feel I have a good product. I would have liked them to have more cushion in the heel and arch, but I was trying to compare these to my other pair. Either way, they are nice shoes and I will purchase this brand again.

These are good to wear about, which means going about your day. Goes well with jeans.

Great light shoe. Size 14. One minor critique are my toes seem to hit the top of the shoe and for a split second get caught in the material at the top of the shoe.

When I received my pair the right shoe had a mark on it that looks like a grease mark. The mark is on the top. I have not worn the shoes yet and are still thinking about what my next step will be. Do I try and remove the spot myself or do I try and return the pair. I own a pair of Clifton 9 which I like so that is why I purchased the pair of Solimar.

Have not worn them yet. The right shoe has a spot on it that looks like a grease mark. Not sure what I am going to do yet. I might try to remove the mark myself, but I think this not what I should have to do.

I owned a pair of HOKA's before buying the Solimar. My intention is to have a shoe more for the gym, such as, strength training, cardio, and movement. So far so good

The color is listed as LIMESTONE. I live near a limestone quarry. I was expecting a light tan/beige color like the rocks in this area. But the shoes are GRAY. And the pictures aren't very accurate. Maybe a better color description would be helpful instead of a vague color name.

very comfortable and lightweight, more like what a running shoe should feel like. not really a fan of the lifted/large heel on the other models and the off-white color really catches eyes. it goes fit a little snug so i'd recommend wearing it around the house first to break them in before long walks or running in them.

Very comfortable, fit well, look good. Only reason for the 4-stars is that one shoe makes a noise on each stepkind of like a loose floorboard. Not sure what would cause that, especially so soon. But still happy with them overall.

I bought these for training. They do help with stability while working out. However, for walking around, the bottom of my feet HURT like all get up at the end of the day. If you just using them for working out, it's a good deal. Otherwise, not so sure.

I love the Solimar's. My one caveat is that top part of the shoe does chafe the ankle somewhat and I have not had this happen with prior Hokas.

No issues with the shoes. I accidentally ordered two pairs and immediately sent a text message, which is what the website tells you to do. Then I followed up with a phone call the very next morning to hopefully get the order modified since I had not heard back from the text. I was told it was already too late and the order had been packed. Apparently this had something to do with the fact that I had placed the order after hours. This was annoying. I had to receive the extra pair of shoes and go stand in line at the post office to do the return. I will say that using the scan code for the return was straightforward, I didn't have to pay shipping, and my refund was prompt. But Hoka's system with routing various text messages to different places was confusing and clearly has some gaps in the process.

I am a standard 10.5, which fits with almost every brand of shoe. The shoes arrived and looked nice enough, but were both super narrow, and my big toe hit the tip of the shoe. I would try again, but with an 11. So size up!

So walking on it feels great, I got a size 13 and it fit awesome other than the top portion constantly grinding on my pinky toe.

I love the feel and comfort of these sneakers! They look great as well. The price is a little steep, but I will see how they hold up with regular use.

My feet have never been so cold, and it's still pretty mild outside 50's f. They're well-built and otherwise great, but get some warm socks! I do appreciate the form factor of this model. Other models are so wide that they make driving a car with manual transmission difficult.

But, still not wide enough. I'm a 5'5" woman with wide feet. I started out was a women's 8.5D (my usually size) and had to send back. Not even close to fitting width-wise. Ordered the men's 7EE instead and still a little bit too narrow. Can't really find any other shoes I like for the gym, so I'm keeping these one. Really like them - except overhanging the sole a little bit at the widest part of my feet.

This Solimar is just as good as my Clifton 8 sneaks. Wish I could buy more but I don't have the money.

Shoes were very comfortable but felt too tight on the top of my foot. Exchanges for Bondi's for a bit of a different fit, just wasn't my cup of tea for my foot shape/size.

Only issue is laces are far too short
