FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The Solimar 2 is designed as a daily trainer for casual use, walking, and gym activity. While capable of short runs, dedicated long-distance runners may prefer specialized performance models.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the materials and adhesives. We recommend hand cleaning only.
What is the fit like?
The Solimar 2 features an accommodating fit that is true to size for most users.
Does this model have a neutral arch support?
Yes, it is designed with a balanced, neutral platform suitable for most foot types.
How often should I replace them?
Depending on usage frequency, trainers typically provide optimal cushioning for 300-500 miles of activity.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' technique to secure the ankle collar tighter.
Midsole feels stiff
All new trainers require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short durations for the first few days to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Solimar 2 trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the upper. Wipe the midsole with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the adhesive and midsole foam.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping them in the back of a hot car where extreme temperatures can warp the construction materials.
- Compatibility: These are standard trainers; if you use custom orthotics, ensure you remove the factory insole first to maintain proper foot positioning.
