Very sleek with good support! I bought the Solimar for everyday wear with orthotics. Not as cushy and a little less supportive than the Kawana II (which I wear for walking/treadmill) but still a great shoe. They also fit slightly smaller and narrower in the same size.

Got these pair as a birthday present size 9 and they ended up being way too big for me by an inch. I'm not sure how to go about returning or exchanging since they were gifted to me but I would recommend sizing down one. Besides that, they felt super comfy just wish they'd fit.

This is my favorite style of Hoka so far and the color is a standout! I was lucky to snag the last pair in my size. I hope they continue to make this one and more colors please. I bought 3 so far.

I already have 3 colors, I'm in trouble if the come out with more. These are so comfortable, I wear them at the gym as well as running errands and going out.

I previously bought the Hoka Transport in burgundy and in ream color. I loved them so much that I decided to give it a try to a different model instead of getting the same model in different colors. This time I bought the solimar in all black for work purposes. They are comfortable but not as comfortable as the Transport. The sole is a bit thinner, it still has the softness and cushion Hokas are known for. However the top of the shoe is made of a flexible fabric. Reminds me of some Nike shoes I used to have. They still comfortable, I just don't think it will protect me from something falling on my feet or water will easily get in. The front is also a bit narrower than the Transport and I'm use to have the wide front on any shoes I wear. What I like it's that they feel like I'm not wearing any shoes at all with the cusion at my soles like I need. They are good but not the best in my opinion.

If you are debating on purchasing the shoes, don't hesitate. You won't regret it! The shoes are perfection. As soon as I put the shoes on I felt the difference. They are very light, comfortable, and to top it off they are beautiful!! I purchased them to train for a 5k.

Many reviews suggested ordering 1/2 size down. I found this to not be true for me. I need a 9.

I was excited to purchase the Solimar for walking/training after reading reviews.
After a couple of days, I realized they didn't have much support so I bought orthotics hoping they would help. Unfortunately the shoe doesn't seem to have enough room for them.
They just didn't work for me. Disappointing.

I prefer the Clifton and the Bondi for long walks and shopping. The Solimar is good for local errands. I am currently waiting for delivery of two pairs of Bondi.

I have 4 pair of Hoka Cliftons...the 7, 8 and 9's. The Solimar definitely runs at least 1/2 size smaller and much narrower. I am surprised at some of the reviews saying that they run large. I am going to order size 9 and hope they work. Otherwise, I'll have to stick with Cliftons. I do like the sleek look of the Solimar.

I didn't understand what the difference was in regards to the name of the different shoes. Everyone kept telling me how wonderful the shoes were. I gave them now and have worn the 3 times and they just feel ok.was hoping that I would feel the soles feel lumpy?

Very lightweight. Great fit. Use them for HIIT and strength training. Would buy again. I only wear them at the gym; would love to buy another pair for outdoor use.

This shoe was just what I wanted - right color & fit was good. However, it rubbed on my right ankle & it hurt all the time. I walked in them for several days, and it did not get better. I heard so much about how great Hoka shoes were. I wish it would have worked for me. I decided to return them.

I was excited to receive my shoes promptly by mail. But after wearing them 2 days, including 1 aerobics class, I know the size 8 I received is more an 8.5. It slides off the back of my shoe even with inserts. I could not figure out how to return them, so I now have shoes too big for me to wear power walking and to workout classes as I need. Not sure if this is only this style, but I definitely need a good half size smaller than I comfortably wear in any other shoe. The shoe is very attractive looking though and comfortable. If anyone knows how I can return them now, please let me know.

I already have these in white, nimbus cloud and now black, I would like to see something in blue that would go with various colors of blue jeans.

Love the look of this shoe but it is a tad narrower than the Cliftons. Unfortunately, that does make a difference regarding fit/comfort, so am sending them back. Wish Cliftons came in this particular color.

Overall, this is a nice shoe. I prefer the wider toebox Hoka models, though, so I'm exchanging for the Clifton.

Just bought these Hokas. First time I've tried the Solimar. Very pleased with the fit, style and color of the shoe. Will not hesitate to purchase another pair of Solimar in the future.
