Customer Reviews Hoka Solimar

As a nurse, I spend long hours on my feet, so finding the right shoes is crucial. Unfortunately, these Hokas have been a major letdown. Ever since I started wearing them, I've experienced knee, foot, and ankle pain. I was excited about these shoes because they look super cute and have garnered many compliments, but they fall short in terms of functionality. I've previously worn other Hoka models like the Bondis and Cliftons and loved them, but these have been a huge disappointment. They simply do not provide the support I need for my demanding job. Such a bummer that these shoes don't live up to the standard I expected.

I'm disappointed in this shoe. I was hopeful after hearing from so many people that Hoka's are super supportive and feel amazing on your feet. I work out 4-6 days a week. I'm not a runner or a CrossFit person. I just do functional weight training with light cardio. I have worn ASICS for years and switched to Hoka's after my feet started getting sore/hot in my ASICS. I completed the Hoka quiz to determine which style of shoe I needed for my purposes, and I bought this one based on Hoka's recommendation. I was really hoping for more out of this expensive shoe.

Based on my experience with the Clifton for running (great) I decided to buy the slightly less chunky but presumably still super comfortable Solimar for an upcoming trip to Europe. I wore them around the house for a few days prior but didn't appreciate how awful they are. Two days into the trip my feet and back hurt so bad. Thankfully I was able to find some Ons to wear for the rest of the trip. I like the way they look better too. The Solimars are going back- they were a complete miss for me.

It did not give me the hyped up Hoka feel the shoe had no spring to it I had to return it I was very disappointed

Based on Hoka's recommendation I got the appropriate size but when I put the shoe on, it's was small on the sides and too big of a length. Because of this experience, I have decided to never buy my shoes online again.

Did not feel any support and didnt even feel casual , I know these are not the bondis, but my Brooks launch has more support that's these. Not for me.

Not worth it

Not a lot of support. Should have stuck with Asics, my go-to brand.

I purchased this style thinking it would more comfortable by its sleek design but it's not. It is not as soft as the other Hokas I have

I'm sure these shoes are fine for other people, but the soles are way too cushy for me. I sent them both back. Just waiting on my refund

I regret buying these because they are not comfortable at all. I've only had them for a month and they feel worn out. These are my first Hokas and I am not satisfied

This was my second pair of Hokas. I don't get the hype. They seem well constructed but the sizing is weird. The "wide" was still a whole inch too narrow and when I walked in them I felt unsteady and like I might roll an ankle trying to run in them for any period of time. I ordered a regular width originally and felt like maybe trying a wide this time would help with that but they fit pretty much the same which was annoying and confusing. Have decided to try a different company from now on. 5* for the return process however. Was very easy and smooth.

The sizing was way off--too lomg, I returned the shoes and am waiting for my refund.

Bought these for everyday wear & returned them after wearing around house for 4 hours. I do not have a wide foot & even went up a half size from my normal shoe, but my feet were killing me! And were still sore the next day. Very disappointing!

They were uncomfortable

I was disappointed. I love the look, but the shoe seems cheaply made. Not much too it .. I have had it less than a month and it seems to be stretched out and wearing out.

I am on my feet 5 - 5 1/2 hours a day on a tile floor. These shoes feel big in the toe area and don't feel like they have support in them. Maybe a different model would be better.
