The shoe would be perfect if it was available in a 2E for women. I had to go up a half size just to get a little extra width. I really wish Hoka would add this width to their women's shoes. New Balance and Brooks offer it, so it is not unheard of.

Getting used to the flat laces. Walking our dog 1-2 miles 4-5 times a week and around the house is my main use at this time. We have ceramic tile floors which can be hard on your feet. I have feet issues time to time and the cushion light weight sole is a big selling point for me at this point.

I am a long distance runner. They are a little stiffer than Bondi4. Trying to break them in a little more. Other than that, love them.

I want to start off by saying I LOVE HOKAS! This is my 3rd pair of Bondi's. I like how this model has more tread on the bottom than the other versions. I always love the max cushion for my grumpy feet. I wouldn't run in anything else- especially a long run! However, I am really disappointed the the tounge. It slips down and it won't lock down to stay secure. I can't do intervals with burpees or planks anymore, or I have to re adjust. Kind of a bummer for the price. This has never happened with the other versions.

It was the best purchase that I did. But is important to say that they blister my feet the first day I used them. It's normal I think.

I use the Hokas for my long runs . I had the Clifton 3 and 4 before and was happy with the cushioning, but they had a narrow toebox. The Bondi is slightly heavier than the Clifton, but it has a wider toebox (no more issues with my pinkie toe). They also dont seem to wear down as fast as the Cliftons. I have done around 150 km in them and they look still brand-new. This wasn't the case with the Clifton.

the technology provides a good work out. It adds resistance in some way and utilizes all of the muscles in your legs.

I have worn a size 11 Bondi for years now but these are too small. Please make these in a size 12!! I did order a men's Bondi because I love the Bondi so much!

I like the Hoka for running but don't love the out there colors. Tried Black and it's better but looks a bit like an old lady orthopedic shoe. Wish they would offer one with basic color schemes

I usually value comfort over style but it doesn't matter how comfortable they are, I draw the line at wearing clown shoes.

I've had the Bondi 5 shoe for several weeks. My feet fit comfortably and was true to size but the shoe did not have a plush insole. It felt more like walking on a board. The Clifton and Arahi felt much softer and I intend to purchase at a later date. I can also place orthotics if needed.

I've had plantar fasciitis for 2 months. I walk like a zombie after any period of inactivity. In desperation, I went to a nice shoe store and said I needed something with a thick heel to help cushion my foot/absorb shock. The salesmen brought these out. I really wasn't sure about them when I first tried them because they feel different than your typical tennis shoe. I bought them and wore them around the house to determine whether I liked them. After wearing them (a lot of sitting) for a few hours, I took them off and was shocked that my feet didn't hurt. At all. I've been hobbling for months. Not the most attractive for work, but I'll be wearing them so my feet can heal.

This is my third pair of Bondi, so I'm a fan for sure. I do wish they would go back to the slightly wider toe box from the earlier pre-Bondi 4 style to allow for better circulation and slight swelling during and after runs. Overall, this shoe gives me a great run. My only criticism would be to the loss of some sidewall lateral and hell support. After years of damage to my plantar facia tendons, I have to wear custom orthotics, which are thicker that the insole the shoes we built with. As a result, I don't feel like I'm getting as much lateral aid. But since I'm doing mostly road running, that kind of stability is a requirement.

these sneakers are very comfortable, they give alot of height with pillowy cushioning, had to return due to being too tight, wish they had wider widths, but overall great fit.

This is a great looking dark blue Hoka. It is comfortable on my arthritic feet but is a bit chuncky to look at and not as cooshy as I hoped for. This style(for me) seems to run just a little short. Hoka's overall, I find I can half size down.

Hola: I use these shoes on the weekends, while running errands. I use a set of separately purchased orthotics, which are very stiff and provide me with good arch support. This model is the closest I've seen to looking like a sneaker.

These shoes are great for any and all high impact i.e. running, boot camp, kickboxing, tabbata exercise. They provide great cushion and are extremely light.
