Customer Reviews Hoka Solimar

I ordered my normal size but I always need a wide fit as I have a bunion under pink toe and these were comically narrow. My feet looked like they were bulging out on the sides. But even in the length they were too small. Returned. Loved the simple look of them, wish they would have fit.

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

They need to rename to Hoka bricks. The shoes are too stiff and have no cushion. Toe box is narrow as well.

I returned these as they were defective. I ordered the Clifton 8. Have not received them!!!

I really wanted to like my new Clifton 8's but unfortunately I had foot pain (never had any issues with pain in my feet before) specifically in the arch of my foot. I also developed a blister in the same area. The bulky design of the shoes was also something I had to get use to and did not like. I understand that these thick cushioned look is becoming more in style but for that I think it's more of a trend then anything else. I found myself stomping around in these, to get the proprioceptive input to my feet since they are so dense. Again, I really wanted to like these and gave it a week of wear just in case they needed to be broken in, but the pain still continued. I believe that these shoes work great for other people, just not for me. I will be returning.

I've been wearing these shoes for cross training. They were a good fit and feel in the beginning. After about a month, the bottom of my feet started hurting & the heel of the shoe was slipping. It was 1 day too late to return! After 2 months these shoes are completely broken down. So disappointed in this purchase.

Everyday wear. I have a desk job and do not walk much during the day. I have never put any stress on these shoes and the soles at lifting off.

Instant return. After 2 hrs of wear, both feet had blisters on the top. Super uncomfortable.

unfortunately, these shoes are not like the previous 10 pairs of hokas I have, where I could just put them on and they felt great. These are so wide and the heel slips up and down, even when I tie the laces tightly. I can't out my orthotics in them either. Very disappointed. If it's not past the date, I would love to exchange for a different style.

Purchased these for Christmas gift in mid-December, they were a very poor fit and extremely flimsy. I returned them on Jan 8. Hoka did not provide return shipping (cost me $18.00), and then only provided credit. Why would I want another pair of shoes when these caused new aches, simply from walking on the treadmill? HONOR YOUR RETURN POLICY!!!

The shoes looked great in the photo and I expected the same quality as my other two pairs of Hokas which I love. The bottoms of the shoes do not have the thick, comfy cushions so they are not near as comfortable. There is also no tread on the shoe bottoms which makes them slippery. To me they feel more like a slipper super lightweight and not much to them. Not worth the price in my opinion.

These shoes fit so poorly I started having a weird foot pain on one side, inner upper arch, after ONE 45 min brisk walk on my treadmill. NEVER had such an issue. The main fabric of the shoe is so squishy and flimsy I can't imagine doing anything other than gentle walking in these. And the cut on the side of the ankle is very low, while the part around back is weirdly high -- rather like elf shoes. Too bad I wore these outside or I'd be returning them. The other Hoka's I purchased (for my daughter, we wear the same size) were so weirdly fitting and stiff, with a narrow mid foot, they made my feet fall asleep. I'm going back to my "usual" running shoe brand.

I normally purchase Clifton 8's. I stepped out a little bit and ordered something different. Not so good for my feet. So that is why I am returning the shoes. I will continue to purchase my Clifton's.

Terrible ankle and sole support

First of all. Great shoes! I only wear Hoka's! I love them! This pair of shoes???? I ordered these shoes on November 12th to get ahead of the Christmas rush. These were a Christmas gift for my wife. On December 13th , I called customer service and spoke to a really nice woman but unfortunately she couldn't give me a straight answer on why it's taking over a month to get these shoes. I didn't push it It's the holidays. I'm trying not to be difficult! The customer service woman stated that they will have an answer for me within 5-7 days on whether they are going to ship me "another" pair or reimburse me. I told her to please ship me the pair that I ordered because that is what my wife wants "Happy wife..!" It is December 16th No shoes. And your company sends me this to rate you!!! I'm laughing on the inside!

I have several other pairs of Hokas that I love. I really wanted to love these, but they were so narrow in the forefoot that I had to return them. Haven't had this issue with any other Hokas and they've all been the same size. Returned.

They were comfortable while they lasted, I threw the receipt away so I couldn't return them when I called about it.

This is the 2nd pair of Hoka I am having to return. I should be getting paid for my time and energy to have to return shoes that I ordered online specifically so I didn't have to go anywhere. These are terrible I can't believe they have good reviews. Beyond disappointed
