FAQs
Is the HOKA Solimar 2 suitable for long-distance running?
It is designed as a daily trainer for general fitness and daily use; while capable, it is not a specialized long-distance marathon shoe.
How should I clean my Solimar 2 trainers?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to spot clean the exterior. Air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources.
Are these shoes true to size?
The Solimar 2 features an accommodating fit. If you typically wear HOKA products, you should find the sizing consistent with your previous experience.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for your specific foot mechanics.
What is the primary surface intended for these trainers?
These are road and gym trainers designed for flat, paved surfaces or indoor gym flooring.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage during movement
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lace' technique with your laces to secure the heel more firmly against the collar.
Outer sole showing premature wear
Check your gait for signs of excessive pronation or dragging, and ensure the rubber zones are kept free of embedded debris or rocks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Solimar 2 shoes last as long as possible, remove the insoles and air them out after heavy use to manage moisture. If the shoes become dirty, gently scrub the upper with a soft brush and mild soap; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the midsole foam. For the best fit, ensure you are selecting the correct UK size, as the Solimar 2 offers an accommodating fit that accommodates standard adult sizing.
