Customer Reviews Hoka Solimar

Bought these for my husband but he said that they are not as comfortable nor have enough cushion. By the end of the day, his feet "feel raw". I was hoping that they would provide more support

These shoes are not a good option for daily walking or running, nor are they very good for wearing. I wore these once while on a 1 hour walk and they were uncomfortable making my feet and legs both very tired. I will go back to the Mach 4 shoes for walking and just use these for daily wear. Even when I use them for daily wear, my feet and legs get very tired and my feet burn. The Mach 4 that I have are much better.

I tried using this shoe at the gym for a HIIT workout. They were so uncomfortable I had to stop and go to the pool. The shoe is very firm, as advertised, but the bases are very uneven, hard to stand, and are not cut the same way similar HOKA's are. They look really nice but for me they would only be useful sitting around in.

BAD: Shoe is extremely narrow, to the point that my pinkie & 4th toe were hangin OFF the sole of the shoe. Fit was so bad, that I even checked to see if they accidentally sent me women's shoes. I have average feet and have never experienced this, so was very surprised. MEH: For walking shoes, it still has a lot of action (makes you feel like leaning forward) GOOD: The one good is that the shoes are extremely light and if they fit better, I probably would not have minded them, but as of now, I'll be returning. Disappointed!

One pair too short, the other too tight.

These shoes are some of the most comfortably fitting shoes I've ever worn, however, they are also one of the least durable I've ever owned, and that includes walmart sneakers during dark times. I got these as shoes to take to work (I work in a mail sorting building), and after 3 days of normal everyday use they got a hole in the side where my pinkie toe goes. Now given the already high price tag of these shoes, I of course kept wearing them because buying yet another pair of shoes was not in my financial fate.

Was told this is the replacement for the hupana. Typically replacements are supposed to be improved, the solimar is not. It is a decent shoe that is comfortable for walking but is not up to being a workout shoe like the hupana. Less stability/support for side to side or twisting movements, any side to side movement at all and it feels like the bottom of the shoe is going to separate from the top or you are going to roll your ankle. The only positive over the Hupana is it does have better traction on wet surfaces and does not slip like the Hupana.

Really makes running feel hard on the feet.

Used as a daily wear to work shoe. Due to it's unexpected narrowness, I'd like to return it for a larger size or wider size.

As some other reviews stated, this shoe is so narrow that it's not even good for a regular foot, let alone a wider one. Hoka doesn't yet make it in my preferred color (there is a wide version in other colors) so I had to return it. Too bad. Very nice shoe with very soft and comfy upper. Got something else that works much better for me.

Not nearly as good feeling on the ground as the clifton 7 shoe. Poor stability transfer to the foot.

I wanted to use the shoes for normal walking, but the soles of the shoe are not comfortable enough for my needs. For me it needed to be softer. I don't have enough fat on the bottom of my feet. So now I'm looking for other shoes.

I've owned several Hoka shoes & been very happy with the feel, comfort & durability. Unfortunately my experience with the Solimar was disappointing. The shoe was not as comfortable as my other Hoka shoes & it seemed to lack cushion.

I am an avid Hoka wearer, as I probably own 6 models for different purposes: hiking, trail running, road running, casual wear, and racing. However, these solimar fit terribly. I have pretty narrow feet and they squeezed my forefoot so much it made my big toe and ball joint sore. I have returned them already (after 2 wears) for a different model.

Im not pleased. They're killing my feet. Im going to return them on Saturday.

I have wide foot and I can see my toes bulging out and makes shoe look ugly even with wide while walking. Still looking for comfortable walking shoe.

squeak - squeak - squeak - all the time!!

Compared to other brands, this pair was too narrow and they did not have a wide option. Exchanged it to the next size but it was still too tight. Now they have out of stock and might have discontinued the model in a span of 1-2 months.

I wear these shoes to work, I walk about 7-10 miles a shift, the shoes have completely fallen apart and aren't worth the premium price tag on them.

A month street purchasing it started making a clicking noise in one of the shoes with every step.

less than six months old and broke out the fabric and wouldn't honor an exchange or discount

I bought this brand after thinking I would make a switch from On shoes. Very shortly after wearing the shoes I had an issue that should've been covered under warranty with the sole of the shoe and they denied the warranty claim very flippantly. After spending this kind of money on a shoe, you would think they would've at least looked into it a little more and swap them out if needed. Do not recommend.
