Customer Reviews Hoka Solimar

Will return and hopefully get the rigght one for whom i gifted

This show is comfortable but squeaks in the midsole of n every step. It's pretty annoying to walk through the house or office and everyone hears your shoes squeak.

My Hoka Solimar were the most comfortable shoes I have owned, but also the shortest lived shoes I have ever owned. In my research of wanting better walking, training, and active shoes I came across these. I had friends' who had recommended the brand and wore them daily, most of which who were runners, but I was still hesitant because I had never spent more than $70 on a pair of shoes before. Ultimately I gave them a try, and they were delivered to me in August last year. I did not wear them daily, only for those moments of activity, typically on the weekends, in which I probably wore them less than 100 times total. Now, as of March of this year, my left shoe has blow out on the side of the shoe near the top of the ball of my foot; and the right shoe is starting to have a blow out where my big toe is. I'm disappointed in the longevity for the price I paid, and was really hoping for a year or more. It was fun & comfortable, but I have no plans of purchasing again if this is how I should expect their shoes to hold up.

I've had my pair for about a year and the issues I thought would go away after they were broken in are still here. My main two issues are the insole and the toe box: the insoles themselves do not stay in place and I have to readjust them before every use now, they also are slippery against every type of sock fabric I've worn. The toe box doesn't feel secure and coupled with the insole leaves my toes feeling like they are floating in space. Silver lining is the sole is nice and cushy. The shoe runs small so I went up a half size.

i bought these shoes to go to the gym to exercise and to use daily they are very light weight but there is no padding for the bottom of my feet so it is not comfortable

I was in search of a good gym shoe to use in my HIIT classes (treadmill and lift). I had great experience with other styles. This one was promising, based on description. I'm 6'5"/220lbs/Size 14 and need a shoe that can hold up. The shoe did not deliver - was not true to size on smaller end. The shoe could not hold up with natural foot swell on the treadmill run; on only lift days, the same issue. I compared to my happily worn Mach 6 and difference was night and day.

So I am a 10 1/2 B width, it's not that hard. So the on line guide Said go with the size 10. Based on the questionnaire the width in that size will work. Well the width is nice but their toe crushers. Yep I'm still a 10 1/2 B. I'll eventually wear a hole through the tip where the big toe is. Then toss em! I wouldn't recommend these to any one, go to a store if they fit buy em. If not put em back. online shoe sales blows again!

This is a very nice-looking shoe, but this is my second time ordering and exchanging the size, and it is STILL too short. The sizing/length is WAY off, and sadly I am not willing to try a third time and go a full size larger (and this is in the men's shoe!). Please check the length and sizing of the shoe. If this was accurate, it would have been perfect/a keeper. The olive color is very pretty.

They hurt my feet after 30 minutes walking something I never had with Skechers all these years I wear them

Very narrow. Had to return it since it doesn't come in wode

Every step i take, the sole inserts move back and my feet fit the shoe size too. Comfy at first but awful to deal with.

Not bad, but not as good as the old ones...

i have flat arches have no support

Not true to size.

Using for work

Liked the shoe fit and look, but noticed after about 6 months the bottom of the shoe was poorly glued together and started to come apart. Contacted customer service and they told me I could ship it back at my own expense, but would also need the oringal box which was long gone. Why you need an original box for old shoe is beyond me...but reason I wont buy Hoka any more.

These are not as cushioned as my other Hokas and I thought it would be fine since I don't run, I use it for everyday walking. But after a day, my feet hurt. I ordered a wide and it's narrower than my other pair as well. The fabric is thinner so my bunion sticks out a lot on it. Still comfortable, but I wouldn't use if if I'm walking a long distance.

These shoes were purchased for high intensity workouts to include rope skipping and some CrossFit. The shoes are super narrow and don't absorb any impact from rope skipping or even running in place. Definitely feel disappointed considering the website helped me pick out the shoe

This shoe width is not in matching with Bondi 8. I ordered this shoe in a EE and could not get my foot comfortable.

shoes got holes in them within first week

I love Hoka, I have a bunch of different pairs. But this turned out to be my least favorite. This shoe is narrow, even in a wide, it's still a lot narrower than the Hupana. It does not breathe well either, my feet tend to be more sweaty at the end of the day wearing these compared to Hupana. I wish they would just bring it back instead of the Solimar. Overall, the shoe is light and cushioned enough for daily use. I use it for walking all day at work. Better suited for people with narrow feet.
