Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi LTR

I am a Physical Education teacher and Coach, on my feet and moving ALL day! I have ALWAYS loved the sanctuary of peace I get when running. However, years of athletics, knee surgeries, and years of distance running, my knees reached a point - I hurt and could no longer endure the running as before. My Assistant Principal, an older gentleman and avid triathlete, turned me on to Hoka's as they too saved his passion of athletics. I bought these and have grown to love them. The height of the sole took a little getting use to, but I can't imagine being on my feet all day without them. Running... lets just say it is restored. I am back to daily runs consisting of 30 - 45 minutes each and pain free. Thanks Hoka! My life is better with you in it... or should I say, 'on it.'

I have two other Hokas: Stinson 3, and Stinson ATR (trail). They are the most comfortable, pillowy cushioned shoes that I know of. All other brands feel like Dutch clogs compared to Hokas. This one (Bondi Leather) feels a little less cushioed than my other two Hokas but I think it just needs some break in. Leather looks and feels good to me. I picked leather because full grain leather provides the best balance of water resistance and breathability, much better than gore tex which makes you sweat. Also thanks to the leather they feel more stable, a little more stiff; no sliding foot to the side in these. Overall I am very happy and would (and will) buy again.

This is the shoe I use in the office. I have neuropathy. I have bought thousands of dollars of shoes and this is the finest walking shoe for comfort I have ever found

Good for walking

Needed leather comfort shoe for exercise walking and while at work. The Bondi LTR works terrific for both.

I bought a pair of Hoka Bondi 4's a year ago. Very comfortable shoe, although it seemed a bit unstable at times. A few weeks ago, I was looking at Hoka's online again and saw that they had a Hoka Bondi in white leather, and that came in an EE width. I ordered a pair and that was a great decision. They are super cushy like my old ones, but they seem much more stable. I don't know if it is the leather or what. But these are now my "go to" shoes...for work, for church, for wearing pretty much anywhere. And they look GREAT. I'm 65 years old, and I really do like the more colorful athletic shoes...but you can't beat these. If Hoka made these in a dark brown, I'd buy those, too. (I'm not much on black shoes).

Work dress shoes. Just expensive

I have arthritic big toes, and cushioning is very important. I also use orthotics, so I have to buy a larger and wider shoe than I would need otherwise. Only a few Hoka shoes come in wide. I already wear the Bondi 4 casually and at the gym. When I learned Hoka sells a black walking shoe, I had to get it. I needed something with Hoka-level cushioning that I could get away with at the office. (I wear dress pants, a white shirt, and a tie.) I would have preferred plain black with no styling, but the dark gray streaks and the reflective loops on the back aren't too showy. These shoes are great. Soft on the ground, comfortable to wear. They might be slightly less cushioned than the Bondi 4, but that's a small quibble.

Took one day to break in. I work on concrete and move around constantly, standing, stooping, lifting, etc. I walk 5 miles/day at work. These shoes make my excellent performance at work possible.

Great fit, excellent appearance, and superior comfort makes this shoe a must have.

I "used" to wear the New Balance 928's until I put on Hoka's LTR's. Feels you are walking on carpet. A bit pricy, but I pay any price for foot comfort. I still use the New Balance comfort cushion insert, but I would do that with the 928's.

Plan 2 use in gym 4 cross training & walking/running on treadmill. Looks really good coming out of the box. Like the design & material... & price!

I suffer from plantar fasciitis and the Hoka line has been my savior. I have wide feet and the only Hoka's I can wear are the one's that come with the 'wide' option. I have worn Bondi's since the Bondi 2 and love them. The cushion really helps my fasciitis and these leather ones are much nicer in cold weather. In fact, I have blacked out the grey accents on one pair and use them for dress shoes. I only wish Hoka would make a BROWN LTR too. Overall, very comfortable and stable shoes. I buy them by the bunches.

The HOKA ONE ONE Bondi LTRs are first class walking shoes. I bought both black and white colors in size 10. These shoes offer your feet good support and are very lightweight. They are quite good-looking too. You can't go wrong purchasing any HOKA ONE ONE shoe. They are the greatest!

Comfy, like walking on pillows!

I first purchased the Bondi-4 shoe, but was disappointed it did not come in all-black in my width. For years I have tried various shoes for basketball officiating. After blacking out my 4's, I saw the new Bondi-5 in black offered as a wide. This was NOT a similar shoe, TOO NARROW!! As a result I exchanged them for the TRL in black leather. These fit/feel great! I would advise any fellow officials to try the shoe!!

I purchased the Clifton 3 on the advice of my podiatrist. I was very pleased with the comfort and durability. I am a police officer and saw the black Valor LTR sneaker and pulled the trigger. Being on my feet for an 11.5 hour shift will put a strain on my joints and feet. I have had these for 2 weeks and have been very pleased with the comfort, and weight. Will see if they stand up in terms of the durability but I am sure it will perform as well as the Clifton.

I started wearing Hoka Clifton's two years ago after recovering from knee surgery. The shoes have become my first choice for long runs and marathons. I have done my 4 last marathons in either the Clifton or Clifton 2. The shoes have great cushioning and are extremely comfortable. Since I like the shoes so much, I saw a black leather version of the Bondi which I decided was stylish enough to wear at work. I am an oral surgeon, and I am on my feet for most of the day. The shoes feel great at work and are probably the most comfortable work shoes that I have ever worn. My feet appreciate it at the end of the day!

Walking

I wish I had seen they were Wide. I normally don't wear Wide other than that Hoka Shoes are great.
