Bought these for work (50hrs on my feet) and walking my dog (2-4 miles/day in city). Contacted company about the 30 day trial and they were very helpful. Had a horrible service experience with the Walking Company and horrible pain with their ABEO shoes which are not returnable, and I ordered these Bondi 5s to replace them. Love the HOKA shoes and the company's excellent service and attention to their customers. Thank you.

Finally, a WIDE shoe for my bunions! So incredibly comfortable. Hiked 14 miles in them with a 20-pound pack brand new, no blisters. Took them to high-impact exercise class and they were great. Highly recommend - I'll be taking these on a 500 mile trek in Spain soon.

I use this shoe for walking exercise. This shoe has a thicker sole and is a bit more clunky. I have some knee problems and this has been a much more supportive shoe and feels better for my injury. Turquoise, great color for summer.

I was disappointed. The shoe caused me blisters because the toe box felt so narrow. I had this idea that all the cushion in the shoe would feel great during my run. I was wrong. All the cushion put extra pressure on my feet! So I went with Vibram 5 fingers and love them.

True to size. Slightly narrow if you wear orthotics or have a wide foot. Very cushioned shoe.

Bought these for my wife. She was looking for a shoe that offered maximum cushioning, especially under the ball of her foot. She is very pleased with them. They look great as well! Seem to be very well made. Still pretty new so I can't comment on long term durability.

I've tried to begin walking/running more, trying to get healthy, but I've been having a lot of foot pain which has been preventing me from being as active as I've wanted to be -- but these shoes have changed all that! The cushioning of this shoe has allowed me to be on my feet much, much longer than I've been able to be lately -- I told my husband that I feel that these shoes have given me my life back! Now he wants a pair! I wear either a 7.5 or 8 wide, and the 7.5 fits me perfectly. Thank you Hoka -- I'll be ordering more!

My feet are fairly narrow, but the Cliftons were too narrow. The toe box of the Bondi's is the perfect size. I love the cushion and they are a great color!

I'm on my second pair bon Bondi's. I also have purchased the high top hacking boots which I wear in the winter with wool socks rather than my Keen winter boots. I've just ordered the slides and will net them in a few day. I'm hooked on Hoka.

For health reasons I finally decided that getting in the best shape I could was what I needed to do. Having recently discovered a serious health issue has prompted all sorts of epiphanies regarding self care. When doctor says to walk daily and you cringe because you feet are screaming "Remember last time you had that brilliant idea". So with determination I made an appointment with a personal trainer and when hearing my walking woes recommended these sneakers and was wearing them herself. I can truly say having them for just one week that they have earned their keep!
I'd also recommend:
Nike, Asics

Prefer this one to the leather shoe as it is lighter, more flexible and cooler to wear.

I have worn a lot of tennis shoes in my nursing career because the fancy expensive nursing shoes just hurt my feet. I give this shoe an A+.

I work in a hospital as a pharmacy technician, so I am constantly on the run - I even chart standing up because I don't know when the next 'stat' order is coming in. The concrete floor has caused plantar faciitis pain to the point where I was nearly in tears by the end of the day. As soon as I put these shoes on in the shoe store, I felt immediate relief and was even able to go shopping that evening with my family. Now they have to struggle to keep up with me!

I have early arthritis and will do anything to keep on working out. I gave up all running/jumping/plyo and bought these shoes to continue other gym activities and walking. I ordered wide shoes, but they felt like something was pushing into the side of my feet - like they were narrow. It turns out that my arch is low which made my feet spread and hit the bottom sides of the shoes (which are built up a little bit). I added some green SuperFeet insoles that lifted my arch a bit - relieving that feeling that they were narrow. They fit perfectly and really help me walk, use the elliptical, stairmaster, do step aerobics, etc. I do tend to underpronate and have yet to find a pair of shoes that helps keep my right foot from doing that. I hope Hoka mades a wide stability shoe in the near future.

This is my first pair of Hoka. It definitely won't be the last. They are so
Incredibly comfortable I can't believe I didn't find them sooner. They are so plush that I even wear them for tennis. I'm hooked on Hoka, nothing else compares.

A friend and avid half marathoner recommended Hoka to me when I told her my knees had been bothering me after running and walking in my usual Nikes. I chose the Bondi 5 because Hoka describes them as their most cushioned. They are fantastic! Because the tilt is a little different than my old shoes, it took me a few times to get used to the feel. Now I love them and my knees feel so much better!
