Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 5

Many of the reviews claimed said that the toe box was deep, but I did not find that as so. I have a slight hammer toe so this shoe will not work for me too bad. Maybe the wider width will work

This is my second pair of the Hoka brand. The shoes do have a stiff platform which may or may not appeal to some. I use them for walking/jogging and like the support they provide.

This shoe got rid of 95% of my foot pain. I have bought 4 pair now, and 3 pair for my husband. The only trouble is that the last pair, black, came apart in the tongue. The rubber section came unglued from the tongue. When I tried to get a replacement, all the size 11s were sold out. I wrote to Hoka and they said to mail the shoe to them for replacement, but not sure they have any more of the black ones, either. It's not clear what happened to the dark blue ones, either. Those were my favorites but they seem to not be making them anymore. They were the most low-key in color, except for the black. And these are so comfortable, you'll want to wear them all the time, so you need some that are more subdued in color also.

Kudos to Zappoes. They are the best online company to work with. I purchased Hoka Bondi 4 a year ago for running. I do Sprint Triathlons and it was time to get a new pair of running shoes. At first i ordered the Gaviota. They fit very different from the Bondi. As a previous reviewer wrote my toes did go numb after about 2 miles in to a run. They were so mush more narrow than the Bondi 4. So I ordered the Gaviota in a wide and my toes went numb as well. Ugh. Because i so loved the Bondi i decided to try the Bondi 5 and ordered a medium width and a wide width. I tried to medium first and my run went great. Zappoes is so fantastic to work with and so helpful with my returns of 3 pair of Hoka's until I found the pair that worked best for me. I originally was referred to the Hoka brand through my Physical Therapist for right left knee pain post runs. I can say that my knee's and hip's do not ache post runs. That is amazing, who knew Hoka's brand shoes could do that. No need to take any Tylenol post run. I'm 64 5' and 130 lbs. So if one pair or style of Hoka's don't work just keep trying and I'm sure you will find the one that best fits your needs. Again, thank you Zappoes!

The arch in these rubbed my foot the wrong way so a chose another Hoka style. These shoes are like walking on clouds!! Thanks Zappos for the great return policy so I can find the perfect pair!

I have been having a lot of problems with my hips and these shoes came highly recommended to me. The left shoe felt great but the right shoe felt like something was jabbing the top of my foot so I am returning them. They are super expensive so I was expecting more. May try again to see if it was a defect in the shoe

Great shoes with wide toe box. Unfortunately thee shoe irritated my ankles and I had to return them.

Arg! I wanted these shoes to work so badly. There are so few cushioned shoes that don’t look like they’re meant for old ladies. The cushion, width, and flex was all exhilarating. The lack of larger sizes was the problem. I am sometimes a size 11 but clearly needed a size 11.5 or 12 which Hoka doesn’t make. What a disappointment. Hoka One One, Please make a size 12!
