Customer Reviews Hoka Solimar

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

I purchased wide shoes and they are not as wide as other brads wide. They are almost normal width instead of wide.

I haven't had any issues so far and they're quite comfy. They have also held up in pick up sports and what not so that's been good.

This is my initial time with Hoka's and I am very impressed. As everyone testifies, they are really, really comfortable. I have to find out which model will be the best for me but I am very happy with my purchase.

Great light weight shoes with good support. Very very comft

Love the sneaker but one problem is the tongue of the shoe moves down all the time

A lot of shoes force your big toe to move toward the center of the shoe, but this one lets your toes lay out where they naturally would. They look extra long, and are at least an inch longer than another brand of running shoes I have. All day comfort for running errands and miles of walking, though I wish they had a bit more springiness to them.

First time buying shoe online. Fit and felt great right out of box. Never had such a soft footbed. I use it as daily walker and is soft soft but yet springy. Occasional jog w mid foot strike and still good. As older wearer however (72) the softness seems to affect my balance eg in tai chi class like I might fall off so I wear my old barefoot runners there. So,the footbed may not be quite wide enough. I do see my small toe pushing thru the fabric on side and hope it doesn't wear thru before I need a new pair. (fit is still great w no rub spots after 2 weeks of use)

These are used specifically for walking and in that regard they're perfect. However, on a personal note, I'm not a fan of the white soles because they pick up smudges that are very noticeable. But the color of the top is exactly what I wanted. I think the sizing is better than expected; my feet feel like they're in a custom crafted shoe.

I have bought Hokas for a while now and love the way my feet feel in them, however these "D" width are too narrow.

This is only my second pair of Hoka's. The first pair were great. These, not so much. Very little support. Has caused me more aches/pains than any shoes I ever run in.
