Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 5

Love the Bondi5, say goodbye to terrible foot pain! Excellent cushioning and good support.

Absolutely perfect! Have run in Conquests for the last four years even though I have high arches, narrow feet and do not pronate, I liked the responsivness after finding the Stinsons too "mushy". I have bony feet and even though I am a short, light weight runner and I only run 3-4 miles five or six days a week I love cushioning of the Bondi 5! Did not notice the tongue rubbing at all but It's winter in Anchorage so I'm wearing thicker socks right now. I use these with my Superfeet Berry insoles for my high arches. I also use Icespikes with my Hokas so I'm like spidergirl all winter. The new sleeker look of these is welcome also since I do think I run faster if I look cool lol.

I consider myself a beginner-intermediate level runner. I average about 20 miles a week on the treadmill (since it's frigid outside). This shoe has helped me feel less of an impact on my knees. As such, I feel that I can push myself for longer distances at a time. The cushion is unbeatable. This shoe is a blessing for those with wide feet. I am prone to blisters on the outer fifth toe, but have not experienced this at all with this shoe. I purchased the regular width rather than the wide, which was sufficient for me. The shoe is surprisingly light compared to other running shoes, which makes running longer distances more comfortable. I do pronate a bit and this is not a stability shoe. Nonetheless, I found it to be more comfortable than my previous "stability " shoe. Overall, this is the best shoe I've had for running.

I had ankle injury over a year ago. I've been having problems walking due to the pain. I have bought many different shoes and inserts but never found really comfortable ones. My PT suggested me to try Hoka, I had to wait for a few months for the WIde width of Bondi to be on the market. Finally I bought the Bondi 5 in Wide. They are so comfortable and cushioned. Now I can walk normally without limping. Thank you Hoka. Please keep the good quality and keep making Wide width shoes with more colors.

I love mine!

Walking Shoe. Running around shoe. I tried the fist rendition of Women's wide in the blue color. It did not fit at all. It was as big as a boat. I tried again in the black when it came out just in the last few weeks. Feels like an entirely different shoe. Feels good. I have had a failed joint implant now for years and have been unable to walk. Hopefully these will allow me to be acitve again.

This shoe is spectacular. Ordered in 7.5 wide. Comfortable right out of the box. No break-in required. Purchased to start some light training walk/jog after knee surgery. Don't need my orthotics because this shoe provides customization in support due to the memory foam. Can't wait to start using them. Unlike most other athletic shoes these seem to run true to size. I've always had to order a half size up in sport shoes, ordering a 7.5 instead of a 7, but I may have to try a 7 in these. The wide width is a true wide width. FINALLY, someone besides New Balance is making true wides. New Balance wides are too wide in the heels and Asics (my most recent brand) wide women's shoes aren't really that wide. Hoka One One-my new favorite and I'll be telling everyone!

I have struggled with plantar faciitis for years. After trying every name brand running shoe on the market, I can say the Bondi 5 is the BEST shoe to keep you comfortable all day every day!

I am post op PF Release surgery, haven't been able to walk to stand for a period of time for several several months. Alot of support and great cushion. Thanks for giving my life back.

Perfect running shoe! I have been waiting for Hoka One One to make the amazing Bondi model with a wider toe box and they delivered! I am a marathon runner who has run the Boston marathon in the Bondi 3 and Bondi 4 models. I found the Bondi 4 regular width to be too narrow. I found the Bondi 4 wide to be too wide. I do not have a wide foot but I do have a history of Morton's neuromas from years of running with traditional running shoes known for their narrow toe boxes. Ihave had 2 Morton's neuromas removed from my right foot over the past year and I love Altras due to their traditionally wide toe box. However, I do not care for the zero drop of Altras. I simply adore Hoka shoes due to the comfortable, supportive platform. I kept hoping that Altra and Hoka would get together somehow and create an amazing running shoe with high support, plush rocker bottom and wide toe box. The Bondi 5 in regular width is that dream shoe for me. They arrived in the hot pink color just last night and I took them for a quick run. Felt no pressure around my metatarsals, plenty of room in my toe box without feeling too big. This newer Bondi 5 model runs true to size. I wear 7.5M in regular street shoes and ordered 7.5M in the Bondi 5. A perfect fit! I have ordered a second pair in all black which arrived yesterday! Waiting for more colors! Thank you Hoka One One! Fantastic shoe! Training for my 15th marathon (my 9th Boston) now!

I have been waiting all week for these amazing shoes and I am so excited that they finally arrived! I have owned the Bondi 3, Bondi 4 and now Bondi 5. This is the best version of this shoe I have experienced. Hoka has finally delivered on the wider toe box. I can wiggle my toes just like I do in my Altras. But this Bondi is superior due to the rockerbottom and plush feel. I am a marathon runner who has had 2 morton's neuromas removed from my right foot after years of running in regular width/narrow toe box asics, new balance and nikes. I do not have a wide foot. The Bondi 4 wide was beautiful but too wide for me. This regular width Bondi 5 is simply perfect. I wear 7.5M in my regular street shoes. I wear 7.5M in the Bondi 5 with plenty of room in front of my big toe without it being too big. Felt no pressure and no splipoing anywhere! I LOVE THESE SHOES! So glad I already purchased both women's colors available right now (pink and black). Waiting for more! THANK YOU HOKA ONE ONE! You delivered!!!!

if you are accustomed to the Bondi way of life you will LOVE this shoe. If you are new to Hoka, give it a try. I started with the Bondi 4 but found it a bit narrow. Knee pain is GONE, foot pain is GONE. knee swellin gis GONE. Win win all the way around. I jog 15-20 miles per week, am very active in the gym and have struggled with chondromalacia and meniscus pbls for a few years now.
