Customer Reviews Hoka Solimar

I wasn't sold on this shoe at first wear. I walk on a treadmill and crosstrain. When I wore my old workout shoes, I realized how much more comfortable my Hoka shoes are. Definitely pleased. I bought my son a pair for Christmas.

I walk a lot and hiking . Do some running.

I ordered the Solimar because it is supposed to be good for cross training. the shoe is comfortable to walk around the house, but when I tried doing any activity, it was slipping in every direction. I don't care for the style of heel because my heel slips out, even if I tie the laces in the tightest hole. Nice shoe, but too expensive to just "hang around" in.

Love my new Hoka shoes! Never heard of the brand until I saw them advertised online. Took a chance and ordered a pair and they fit wonderfully and perfectly! So so comfortable! I'm a size 9 and they fit like a glove. Love walking and exercising in them. Will definitely be purchasing another pair in the near future! Oh and the colors are so pretty to choose from too! 5 stars from me!

I did a lot of research before ordering these, thinking I could run/walk in the treadmill and then do HIIT training. They didn't work out for me. They are very similar to my brooks for walking but way too stiff for jumping, lounges, etc Returning them

In the never ending pursuit of an all-purpose shoe for Orange Theory classes, I purchased the Solimar. My normal shoe size is 7.5B; I bought a 7.5 and an 8 based on comments that the Solimar runs narrow and recommendations to size up. Because the shoe is a neutral shoe, it's a good solution for my very high arches and supination. I like the shoe for its weight, look and moderate cushioning. It's not as plush as the Clifton (my favorite running shoe); however, the Clifton I find is too spongy for lifting. The shoe does run narrow; however, a larger size simply added length that I didn't need. The shoe upper is stretchy so when cinched in snuggly, it definitely doesn't look wide enough since my toes are bulging out of the shoe. Because it's so flexible, I don't feel a lot of support during lateral movements. I returned the 8 (Oh my gosh the return process couldn't be easier!) and kept the 7.5. I didn't have the same issue as others commented regarding the tongue of the shoe being irritating. I like the shoe but am still on the hunt for a better all-purpose shoe. I tried a couple of times to upload a picture to show bulging toes but the site just kept spinning.

Your shoes are awesome in that I can walk all day long and not feel pain or fatigue at the end of the day. However your choice of colors makes me crazy. I want a pair of shoes in normal, non-neon colors. My last pair was a challenger ATR six, in green and yellow. I could work with that, but you don't offer it anymore in women's sizes. The pair I have now or a deep blue with a purple sole. Seriously not my choice but again I don't have a lot of alternatives.

Feels like I'm walking on clouds. I'm on my feet all day in the medical field and my feet have felt great at the end of a long day. Have not gone for a run in them yet but everyday walking comfort is amazing!

I was disappointed that the Hupana model no longer existed. Purchased this model. Happy with the product so far (2 months in).

I love everything about the new Solimar except the tongue is so padded that it slips sideways when I work out and the sides of the shoe collar rub my ankle bones. This is the first Hoka that I've ever experienced this issue with. I do love the flexibility of this shoe as a cross trainer.

I had to return them and was unable to purchase another pair in a wide 7 1/2 women's.

I walk on average 5miles every day and the cushiness and comfort are not like my Bondi Hokas. The price point was great.

This shoe looks great but runs very narrow. I had to return them.

I don't like the way they feel or look on me

There has been some kind of change in the design. I’ve loved this style for years and now the support is much lower. I can’t wear these around for hours like I have with previous pairs. The arches of my feet hurt after 3 hours. They are super cute but can’t be worn for long days of walking.

I have 2 other pairs of Hokas. This style was not as comfortable so I had to return them. They hurt the bottom of my feet. Does not seem to have the same cushiony comfort.
