The HOKA Men's Solimar is a light, lower-stack, moderately cushioned daily trainer that doubles nicely as a gym / cross-training shoe rather than a max-cushioned long-distance workhorse. It is generally well-reviewed for comfort, versatility, and value, but it is noticeably firmer and less cushioned than classic "HOKA-soft" models like the Clifton or Bondi.[runrepeat +3]
What the Solimar is like
• The Solimar uses a compression-molded EVA midsole with a late-stage Meta-Rocker for a smooth, rolling transition but with a lower stack and firmer feel than most HOKAs.[fueledbylolz +3]
• Men's weight is around 8.2–8.5 oz in US 9, with a 6 mm heel-to-toe drop, so it feels light and agile compared with many daily trainers.[hoka +3]
• Cushioning is "moderate/mid-level," giving decent impact protection without the marshmallow softness of Bondi or Clifton; reviewers often describe it as balanced to slightly firm.[rei +3]
• The platform is neutral but inherently stable thanks to a relatively wide base and HOKA's Active Foot Frame-style construction, which helps it feel secure for gym work and short runs.[roadrunnersports +3]
• Many users and reviewers call it a good "do-everything" shoe for walking, easy to moderate runs, treadmill work, and strength / class workouts, especially where a huge stack would feel wobbly.[zappos +3]
In short, it is a solid option if you want a HOKA that is lighter, lower, and more versatile across running plus gym, and you do not mind giving up the ultra-plush feel.
Is the Solimar "good" and who it suits
• For mixed use (short runs, treadmill, classes, strength, casual wear), Solimar is very good: light, stable, and not overly soft, which helps with form during lifting and agility work.[backcountry +4]
• For primarily running, especially longer easy runs or if you love HOKA's signature plush feel, models like Clifton or Bondi will feel more protective and comfortable than Solimar.[runningshoesguru +3]
• If you are chasing speed or tempo performance, Rincon or Mach are better choices, offering more responsive cushioning and a racier feel than the more "all-rounder" Solimar.[youtube +1]
