Customer Reviews Hoka Solimar

I ordered these men's sneakers bc I loved the color n styles They looked nice bt, have zero support. I used to love Mach five bt, I dnt like the change in style of the Mach X. Or the color choices for woman's. In general.. I gifted them to a homeless shelter. Perhaps a younger person will find them comfortable. Didn't work for me. Sizing was weird . Just off. I'm a women's 9.5 n a men's 8.5 bt, felt lose on the sides of this sneaker,which was odd bc it wasn't a wide?

Very comfortable to do road work in.

I like the style, my friends and my sister all recommended Hoka to me because I work long hours in the pharmacy and I needed something to help with my foot pain and something comfortable. To be honest, I chose this one instead of the Clifton and the gaviota so maybe it's my fault. I'll defititely exchange them for a different model like the ones people tried and loved. One last thing, you can see your toes so I'd definitely recommend that anyone buying this model, size up!

It's OK for the price but not as comfortable as other shoes I've tried

Soliimar tends to run more narrow than others in the HOKA line. Found my favorite is the Gaviota 5 for my particular foot shape in fact that's why I return these in exchange for and now on my second pair of the Gaviotas and they are great.

Everyday walking around

I work as a janitor so I do a lot of walking. I had to get a half size bigger because of the style I chose doesn't come in wide but I still like them

My Clifton's are so cushiony and I love them. These feel more like a regular shoe. They don't seem to have that HOKA cushion that I absolutely love.

Very narrow shoes but comfortable. I had to order the wide. I wear a regular bondi and clifton. Order the wide for regular feet. If you have wide feet, then these aren't the shoes for you unless you like the look of a tight sock with a sole.

Never owned running shoes before and these give me blisters. Think I just need to break them in but I am not sure. Good quality though and very stylish

I went with the shoe because my trainer suggested I get a training shoe for more stability particularly when I am doing leg exercises. This shoe does not offer the stability. I need seems to stretch excessively with the pressure from the weights. I have 20 pair of Hoka sneakers. I wear a different shoe to the gym each day. Most of my shoes are the BONDI, the Gaviota, carbon X, and other types, which seem to give me support when I'm working out with other equipment./weights. Please redesign the shoe to have it be a little more stable. I switched from Nike to Hoka many years ago and I love your brand, but this shoe is sadly disappointing.

Wide shoe was as narrow as most standard fit shoes. I compared it to other HOKA wide fits I own and it is a good 25% less wide.

I coach tennis all day (way more walking and standing then tennis playing!) and have been looking for more comfortable shoes that will also not force me to buy new ones so often. I'd tried probably 15+ different shoes and nothing seems to last longer than a month before my knees and hips start hurting. My tennis friend a former D1 player recommended Hokas for the walking/standing coaching, and I got 3+ months out of the Biondi 8s and was thrilled because they were also so comfortable and looked good. I'd been telling lots of people how awesome they were and I truly do thank your company for those. I then purchased the Solimar's with hopes that I could also play tennis more, and unfortunately they were not quite what I was looking for as my knees started to hurt after about 1 week of wear. Which of your shoes would you recommend for tennis play? These Solimar's are still in good shape but I can't wear them. After a week or so of trying the Solimars, I decided I needed to buy some more Hokas before my body went out and this time I got the Clifton 9s, and so far they seem similarly comfortable to the Biondis and I've been happy.

I've had Hokas before and I always wear size 11. However, these feel smaller and narrower. The HOka running shoes I just bought at size 11 feel fine and fit great. Not sure what to do.

Design 9/10. Comfort 5/10 once I tie up the shoe laces (top of foot only).

I have only worn the shoes once but it is too early to tell. So far so good. The product far exceeds the shopping experience and quality of the websire. Kevin Minihan

The product is great for walking around and doing shopping and places like Disneyland, but definitely not for work

Sneakers are uncomfortable. Too tight

The reason why I'm being generous in giving it a 3 star review, is only because the design and how they look are very cool. Love the style. But if I had to give it my honest review for the comfort inside the shoe, I give it a 1. I find them to be very hard inside, it almost feels as if you're walking on concrete. Wish they were cushioned.

Even though the shoes I purchased were my exact shoe size, they ended up being too tight and small.

I find the shoe is a lot narrower than I thought a median widith would be. I have other Hocas and they are wider, with a median widith.

I've been wearing HOKA's for years however these are just two narrow.

Not as wide as the other wide models. I like the look but definitely not as much cushion. Will probably use as a once in a while shoe not everyday work shoe.
