Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 5

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.

Second pair have been running for 40 years.. need super cushioning for my knees and this sneaker does it..

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.

I'm on my third pair of these ... best shoes since my injury, they just blow out kind of fast for the price and that that are supposed to be for longevity.

Both a podiatrist and orthopedic surgeon specializing in feet recommended these shoes. They are the absolute BEST shoes to wear for extensive amounts of walking. My husband and I both wore ours every day we were in Europe.

Hoka brand was recommended by my foot surgeon. I must wear an orthotic but like cushioning. My surgeon suggested these for the cushioning. The fit and cushioning are great! I typically wear a 7B, but the website matrix suggested that I get a wide so I did. It was WAY too wide so I exchanged for my usual size and they are perfect.

Awesome shoes!

Running 4 miles daily

I run around 25 miles/week and have flat arches with orthotics and hoka has made it possible for me to continue my mileage with less arthritic pain due to its ability to absorb shock. They are more attractive than bondi 3&4. I do feel that the bondi 4 did better for my needs in absorbing the shock.

I adore these shoes. The Bondi 4 was much stiffer and narrower, The Bondi 5 is wonderful, I did have to buy a full size up from my street shoe size. Personally I need a wider/rounder toe box and these are perfect. I'm working to get back in shape after a hip resurfacing and the cushion in these shoes allow me to jog/run without hip pain. Thank you Hoka!

The only shoe I wear if I can get away with it.

This shoes fit my average runners feet perfectly and provide just the right amount of support without being too bulky.

I will never wear another running shoe ever.

Love the shoe

Very satisfied with this shoe

Bought them for trip to Italy. They were my favorite pair to wear.

This is my third pair of Bondi. The cushioning is wonderful if you're on your feet all day.

I am on my feet all day long as an educator in an elementary school setting. I am over 60 and have bunions and some arthritis in my toes. I have searched for shoes that would allow me to stand and walk all day without my feet feeling like they have been abused. These shoes fit that bill perfectly. I have been pleased with how comfortable the shoes are during the day, and, my feet do not ache at end of day when I take the shoes off. I am very satisfied.

I broke my left heel in three places eight years ago, therefore, I need shoes with great cushion. These definitely have it! This is the second pair I've purchased.
