Hoka

Solimar

Men's

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.
