Finally I have found the most COMFORTABLE shoe ever! For years I have tried Asics, Saucony, Brooks and just couldn't find a shoe that felt comfortable. After so much frustration and spending a lot of money, I decided to try Hoka Bondi. My feet have never felt better, along with my knees and joints. I walk, do the elliptical and Cybex and they cushion and provide my feet with the stability that they need. I am never going back, as long as they continue to make them like the ones I have. It is awesome that they provide you with two foot beds to customize your own personal fit. I started out wearing one foot bed but added the second for added stability and a tighter fit. My husband walks at least 10 miles a day for his job and his next pair is going to be Hoka. They absolutely are the best shoe that I have ever worn! I have the black and pink (more coral) and they are so cute! Way to go Hoka!

Not a good value. They feel great but after only two weeks of 3-5 miles a day the tread is wearing off the . The white hexagons are totally flat and shreds of the material are visible on the sides when walking. Hoka One One has a warranty but does not pay return shipping etc. I am returning and finding a better quality shoe.

Amazing sole padding for those with no cushion fat from aging. Feel as if walking on clouds! Recommended by my sister via her physical therapist. They work. My sister in another state also has a pair and we both put them on as soon as we get out of bed and take them off last thing at night. No problem with sizing on Bondi 4. Ordered a second pair, one for inside, one for outside. Take pressure off of toes. Im 68, and have had foot pain for a decade but these shoes greatly help. Highly recommend. Have worn constantly since they arrived.

These shoes rock! Your feet feel like their on clouds. Worth every cent. Most comfortable workout shoe I have ever had. True to size and plenty of toe room.

This shoe is not wide enough and my first pair of Hokas was watermelon colored and unbelievably comfortable. I have ordered 3 more and none are wide like the original ones....why isn't this clear on the site!

The Hoka One One Bondi 4 has allowed me to enjoy running again! I am 51 and was running half marathons until age 40 or so, but had gradually cut back due to issues related to a herniated lumbar disc causing mild weakness in my right lower leg thus shin splints and moderate left foot arthritis with a bunion causing significant pain with running. I went from a 7 1/2 minute mile to an 11 minute mile (and only 2 miles) hobbling along. An orthopedic PA suggested Hokas to me. I have run in Nikes then Asics for years and was initially worried about the bulky look and some of the reviews about the narrow toe box. I can tell you that this is a miracle shoe! The fit is great (I have an average width foot but wide with the bunion-snug but fits fine). I usually wear size 7 and these 7s are true to size-slightly long but fit well. They are very light, not bulky at all, and have great arch support. And, most importantly, the first day I wore these I ran with virtually no pain for two miles cutting 15 seconds/mile off my time. Then I tried 4 then 5-still minimal pain (I was running with 7/10 pain with Asics and now-less than 1/10 with the Hokas), still cutting time off. I highly recommend these shoes. By the way, the color is pretty too - not too bright - almost periwinkle.

LOVE the Bondi. Had the previous version and completely wore them out. It was amazing to put on a new pair. I suffer from knee and lower back pain and these shoes have made all the difference in reducing that pain and allowing me to continue running. I order a half a size larger in this shoe than my regular size.

My feet are so happy! Love the comfort and the extra toe room, because I ordered one-half size up. I use them for long walks and for getting back into some short runs.

Why oh why will makers not offer these in wide widths especially when they cost so much? My doctor recommended these after foot issues, and lucky they run a bit wide or I would not be able to wear them. They were still a bit uncomfortable on my right foot. I suppose they are good if you have normal medium feet with no issues.

Very cushiony. Construction of sole is such that weight is off my bunions alleviating foot pain...my job entails being on my feet for prolonged periods. Very happy. Thank you, Hoka!

Still a bit unsure about the LOOK of Hoka One One ... but have to say I'm a fan of how they feel! Have always preferred really lightweight, minimal shoes (though not as extreme as barefoot running!), but purchased my first pair of Hokas after hearing about how much they can help those with joint issues.
Have only run a few miles on them so far, but are very comfortable and cushioned - thought they might seem a little unstable, but I got used to them very quickly. Hopefully I can write the same review a few months from now!

Love this shoe. I had worn Hoka for years when they first came out. had to buy men's because the women's was not wide enough. THIS shoe is fantastic. I am amazed at the support and comfort. AS for the way it wears we will see.

I stand at work for 10 hours straight as a pharmacist and wanted something that could keep my feet comfortable and energized. These are great - pillows on my feet. Not cute, but very comfy!

The most comfortable sneakers I've ever had! So much arch support built in that I don't need to add an orthodic.

I was looking for a comfortable walking shoe to accommodate forefoot pain. After researching numerous brands and trying several, I found these and love them. They fit securely without being tight and they seem to protect the forefoot due to the larger, slightly curved sole.

I'm a Hoka convert. I used to wear brooks and saucony models with lots of cushion, but foot pain was making it impossible to run. I switch to the Bondi 4's and haven't looked back. I'm definitely a clydesdale class runner, and these shoes help me keep moving. I use these at my Orangetheory Fitness classes too, and for some of the exercises, my feet tend to slip out a bit; so, they are best for pure running, but definitely still usable for group fitness classes. My favorite!

I've struggled with plantar fasciitis and a heel spur for over an year now - with the cushioning and the rocker bottom sole these are the most comfortable shoes I've bought! Will like buy additional pairs to rotate in and out. I take a 7.5 size and these fit perfectly.

Wow! Unbelievable comfort. Recently having experienced plantar fascitis I've been searching for a shoe that I can work out in. After several weeks the shoe is still comfortable and continues to absorb a pretty high amount of pounding on the elliptical. They look great too!

I have been wearing Clifton's but haven't been happy with the 2 or 3's so switched back to Bondi and I love them. They are heavier then the Clinton but they fit me so much better. As long as the fit stay the same I will continue wearing the Bondi.

At the request of my orthopedic surgeon, I purchased this shoe and couldn't be happier! I've suffered from plantar fasciitis for years and have tried everything (except surgery). I have high arches and this shoe has accommodated this as well as allowed for my arch supports. I have recommended this shoe to my 92 year old Mom as well as all of my friends -- whether they suffer from heal pain or not! I've just purchased another pair and can't wait to extend my collection. I don't think I'll ever buy another pair of shoes. Heck, I might even wear these with my dresses :-) AWESOME!

I really wanted to like this shoe, as I know so many who love it. But for me, the toe bed is too narrow. The heel and everything else is perfect.
