First time trying Hoka shoes after multiple friends and family have recommended. Shoes are very comfortable for all day and provide great stability. Excited to see how long they hold up.

I received the first pair of Solimars and they were too narrow for my feet. Normally, I do not have to jump up to a wider width, but I did in this case. The other thing is the site suggested I go down a half size from what I normally wear, based on the shoes I have bought in the past. I decided to go against that recommendation and bought the length I normally go with and I'm glad I did. So far the shoes are very comfortable. I use them both as a trainer and also to work out in. At this point, I would most definitely buy another pair when the need comes about. The other thing, it was very easy to return the first pair, which was a nice change from other places I have dealt with.

I've liked every pair of Hokas I've owned - these Solimars are included in that summary. But the Mach 5s have been the best of the bunch. I thought I'd try to save a few bucks and get these and hope for the best. They'll do fine for the next 2-3 months, but I'll likely be back to paying more and getting the Mach 5s. The Mach 5s have a firmer sole in the arch area that just feels amazing to me - I suffer from plantar fasciitis and while these don't aggravate it or anything, the Mach 5s honestly HELP combat the issue.

Walking on clouds. This is my second purchase in 6 months. Hooked on HOKA. It's great floating.

He's SOLD on Hokas, just added another pair, so he's got two pair now. He's had a lot of trouble with his feet and after toe surgery, and with his Hokas, he's relieved of pain and discomfort. I've already told him I want some cute Hokas now for Christmas!

The Hoka Solimar fit is narrow relative to my other Hoka Bondi 8. Nice shoe otherwise.

I've now owned 4 pairs of Hoka's and this is by far the most comfortable pair I've owned. However the front rubber on the toe is peeling up after maybe a month of wearing to the gym. For the price that's not cool

This is 3rd pair of Hokas. 3rd chance as highly recommended by 2 friends who are podiatrist. I walk 2-4 miles 3-5 days a week and they are comfortable BUT the back of the heel wears out in several weeks, exposing plastic support. I don't slip on/off and have tried different styles but the same issue each time.

I bought these for some special training I had planned so they didnt get used for a few weeks after i bought them. As expected they were very comfortable as all HOKAs seem to be. Unfortunately after a couple of days, the left shoe started making a really loud squeaking noise (loud enough it was embarrassing at some outdoor training) and I feel like I could feel a slight pop or crunch with each step on that side. I am hoping to get an even swap for a new pair because my wife and I have both been very satisfied with other Hoka experiences so far,

I just love these tennis shoes I find them to be very comfortable and a great fit when I do get a chance to walk. I say this is the first time I have received tennis shoes that really fit and are not to wide

These shoes are very comfortable. Also they are the lightest running shoes I've ever worn. I hope they last a long time. Seem to be well made, very stylish as well. Size was true to fit.

Great walking shoe (too old to run any more......). All of my footwear is 9 1/2 so that is what I ordered. This shoe runs small - I had to exchange for a 10 - perfect fit. Exchange was quick and no problem - very responsive.

I use these shoes for exercise walking. I have recently been diagnosed with a heel spur and these shoes really give me the support I need to continue walking.

My hubby loves the Solimar style, but the colors are limited and a bit blah. Add some fun colors but please keep making these shoes. I rarely find a running/walking shoe that my hubby will wear without complaint!

Lightweight. Durable. I use a little mink oil on them and they tolerate moisture a little better

Haven't worn them a lot just yet but so far they're great. Love the look of them, that's actually attracted me to purchase.

I am a recreational runner and enjoy doing several 5Ks a year. I ordered both Solimar and Rincon knowing I would return one of them. I chose the more streamlined Solimar and love the comfort and cushion and felt so good finishing a 5K in San Francisco last week. All black looks really cool and I wear them casually too. Solimar doesn't don't have that too thick sole look. I'm happy my selection was Solimar-velous!

The Solimar is a great alternative if you're looking for a more streamlined HOKA but still want the cushion of the famed HOKA sole! Feels great! Slimmer profile but still fits normally.
