Customer Reviews Hoka Solimar

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.

I wear size 9.5 in New Balance so I ordered same size based on information in your website.

I really like how this Hoka looks. Unfortunately, I have flatfoot, so after a 30 min running my left foot was hurting and had a red hot area in the foot arch. I guess I wasn't wearing the right socks, but I have worn the same socks before without any problems. It's the first time I have that kind of pain. Since then I changed my socks and cover the affected area with a band-aid. Everything is fine now.

My first pair of Hokas were Cliftons which were by far the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I decided to try a different model for my next pair and am regretting it. The instant comfort I experienced with the Cliftons just isn't there. I've worn them for about a week hoping I just needed to break them in. But negative. I won't even consider running in.

Rin con 3's are a better fit for me. These are considerably narrower.

Quality is great. I've purchased three separate Hoka shoes within the last two weeks. The Solimar and Clifton 8's are running narrow and tight at the mid-sole. My Stinson's are perfect. I've got a Bondi coming and will see how they are.

Left shoe feels good. Both shoes felt good when first purchased. Right shoe feel narrow now like my foot is slipping off. Very uncomfortable to walk in.

The soles of this sneaker appears to be grey and it is bright white. Hoka also embedded numbers and letters (in black) on the side of the sole. Hola says its the measurements of the sneaker. I guess it's like the sidewalls of vehicle tires! I do not like it.

hoka shoes are comfortable, the shoes i bought (solimar) are about average, not bad, not excellent, just... average. again, comfortable. i of course will keep buying hokas. size is spot on, i am a true half size foot, i ordered my usual size, 9 and they fit great. cheers!

The shoes seem great, but they showed up with two different laces. One was 4 inches shorter than the other. The customer service said they couldn't send out new laces. They don't appear to sell laces either.

Hoka's set the bar for performance shoes as far as I'm concerned. I dont think ill ever wear another shoe for any run or HIT workout. This shoe looks relatively conventional, and thats why I bought it. I ran and worked out in and it didn't provide the lateral support I need. I would suggest spending a 20-40 more dollars and getting a more substantial design. Its still comfortable and well made. This model has a perfect "mainstream" conventional look too.

the shoe seems to pronate. and feels a bit narrow.

Thought they would be more comfortable and supportive.

I have a chronic foot problem. I wear HOKA Bondi SR leather as a tennis court shoe. I have now tried 3 other models to see if they work for me as a court shoe. None of them work and I have pain with anything other than the Bondi SR. I have kept the other models I have ordered and used for work and general use. They are great for those purposes. Just not hard court use. The Bondi SR does work and prevents the foot pain but they are not the optimal court shoe. They have such thick and high soles/base that I tend to roll my ankle and I'm not as fast in them. However, I use them because I do not hurt. If HOKA or someone else has a recommendation please say! Please HOKA, develop a court shoe I can use!

Too narrow in the toe box and too wide in the rest of the shoe.
