Full details

It features a balanced midsole and an extended heel crash pad to ensure a smooth, stable ride, though it is primarily optimized for low-to-moderate intensity daily wear rather than high-performance distance running.

FAQs

Is the HOKA Solimar 2 suitable for long-distance running?

The Solimar 2 is primarily designed as a daily trainer for light activity and studio work; while capable of short jogs, it is not specialized for long-distance marathon training.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the insoles are removable, making it possible to insert custom orthotics if required.

Can I use these for outdoor walking?

Absolutely, the added rubber coverage makes them durable and suitable for pavement and urban environments.

How should I clean my Solimar 2 trainers?

Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent to spot clean the upper. Do not machine wash.

Are these true to size?

The Solimar 2 features an accommodating fit that is generally true to standard HOKA sizing guidelines.

What is the primary benefit of the extended crash pad?

The crash pad is designed to absorb impact and smooth out the heel-to-toe transition during walking.

Troubleshooting

Feeling discomfort after long periods of wear

Ensure your laces are not overtightened across the bridge of your foot to allow for natural foot swelling.

Slipping on smooth gym floors

Check the rubber outsole for any debris or buildup that may have accumulated during outdoor use.

Difficulty putting on the shoe

Utilize the rear heel tab to pull the shoe on, which helps preserve the integrity of the plush heel collar.

  • Plush heel cushioning for all-day comfort
  • Approachable stack height for better stability

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Solimar 2 trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the structural adhesives. If the shoes become dirty, gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators. Ensure you check the sizing fit before your first extended use, as a proper fit is essential for maximizing the benefits of the balanced midsole. If you use custom orthotics, the factory-installed insoles are removable to accommodate your specific needs.
