Customer Reviews Hoka Solimar

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.

Did not fit had to return them

Not as comfortable as my Rincon 3, My Bondi 8 the insides started falling apart at 4 months, my Rincon3 the sole cracked at 4 months, think for the price you are asking you should be offering better quality!

Narrow. Feet hang off the sides.

The comfort of the Solimar is very good! What I don't like is that the tongue on both shoes slides all the way to the edge of the lace holes. The tongue doesn't stay centered and I have to pull the tongue to the center quite often. It is very annoying! A couple of my other Hoka models do this also. I have dozens of Hoka shoes so I do love the brand! Can you prevent this on future shies!

The shoes I received seemed great, but too small. I exchanged for a slightly larger size, but the Hoka systems would not allow me to change the address to which the exchange would be sent.

ok. Not as great as I heard about it

Solimar was a disappointment and felt like less bounce than the NB I was trying to upgrade from, at double the price. I'm trying the Bondi even more expensive to see if this revolutionizes anything. One more try. Would not choose solimar.

Maybe too narrow! May try 10W.
