Customer Reviews Hoka Solimar

I am so thrilled with my new Hoka walking shoes. My sister-in-law has had a pair for years and I finally said, "okay, I'll buy a pair." They are awesome!

My feet seem to hurt more after wearing the shoes. Not sure if it's a coincidence. I think I like Brooks shoes better. More cushion than these walking shoes offered. They were on sale so I didn't pay full price. So I'm okay with it.

So far I am very pleased with Solimar Hoka purchase. They arrived quickly and were comfortable right out of the box. My feet feel pretty good at the end of a long day. I do think they are a bit long. I usually buy a 9 but I think that's more to get a little more width. I bought wide 9. The wides are definitely room enough so maybe next time I will give the 8.5 a try.

These are my 5th pair of Hokas and I love them all. These have been great for my gym workouts- especially lifting and cardio. They an extremely light weight and with a little less of the cushioning that I love for walks , balance is great in them.

I absolutely love the Solimar shoes. They fit well and are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I walk 4 to 5 miles per day and they are freat for that. My one complaint is that they only come in black in my size, 10D. I would love to have them in bright colors like coral and teal.

I was a fan of the Hupana and Tivra, and was disappointed when those styles were discontinued. I have some spine issues and those shoes gave me the right amount of support and a good push off when I walked. They were also comfortable and I wore them for walking and for doing errands. Luckily I came upon the Solimar and thanks to other reviewers who described the support as not as cushy as the Clifton, I decided to try it AND ... WOW! This is the best ever! Great support and response, gives me energy when I walk, and super comfortable. I wore them brand new, right out of the box on a 7 hour flight and through airports, and all around a recent vacation. So I just ordered another color! Highly recommend, and PLEASE DON'T CHANGE OR DISCONTINUE THIS SHOE!

I thought these were the same Hoka's I purchased before. Not quite as cushiony and the soles were lighter then prior And I ordered half size too small. LOL Round two arriving soon!!

Shoe is poor fitting. I wear Hoka religiously, this shoe looks like a knock off it seems so cheaply made.

Loved the Solimar at first sight but now love the way it feels instantly as soon as I laced it up! Softest Hoka ever and looks like Summer.

I love this sneaker!! I have 1 leg longer than the other so it is important that when I put my lift in the shoe that I feel even have and have extreme comfort! I love this shoe! I have never felt a shoe so perfect!

My Physical Therapist recommended this brand (Hoka). They are extremely comfortable, great support all around. I have wide feet but tried medium width, medium width works for me. I am sold on Hoka brand.

These shoes are wonderful for osteoarthritis in your big toe. My pain is greatly diminished and way better than an insert.

I've been pretty devoted to the Clifton line for a long time, but I really love the Solimar now too. It's a light, springy shoe that's perfect for road running. I hope it eventually comes in wide widths. I only gave it 4 stars because, for some reason, the shoelaces were two different lengths! I'm assuming a quality control issue, but I expect the best from Hoka, and I can only double knot one shoe...the other lace is too short and I can barely knot it once. Would love if Hoka started including a second set of laces. Otherwise a great pair of shoes!

It took about a week for me to figure out they were tight and started rubbing a sore spot. Too late too return now unfortunately.

These shoes are so comfortable and look great. This is my 3rd pair and I also have hoka hiking boots. I am normally a size 7.5 but in athletic shoes I go up a half size to a 8. This is my brand!

I have started wearing Hokas for golf. These don't have as much traction as other styles. However, very streamlined so definitely more fashionable.

I have worn all brands of sneakers, but these are the best ones yet! The feel like walking on air.

I bought these for a theme park vacation and they were so comfortable. My feet felt great even after walking 15,000 + steps a day and waiting in long lines all day. I would highly recommend these for daily walking and light running.

These shoes were just too narrow and tight for me, and I do not have wide feet. I bought them for a trip, but went with the Clifton 8s. Stylish and very supportive - just too tight for me in my size. Would recommend this to people with narrow feet, for sure, bc Hoka quality is amazing.

I am giving 5 stars even though sadly I had to return. It's my own busted ankle that needs something very specific. I wish it worked because it is such a beautiful shoe. Light and just perfect on my good foot. Thanks anyway Hoka. I'll be trying your other models.
