Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 5

Have painful metatarsalgia in left foot. These shoes are the best I have found. Beat all other brands. Great recovery shoe also.

Daily running. Very comfortable. A lot of cussion

I wear them all day.

Great cushioning. Good fit and quality.

AWESOME. I LUV THEM.

I am 65 years old and I wear these sneakers on my treadmill 6/7 days a week for 36 minutes. My feet feel great after the workout and no negative effects the next day.

I've been wearing the Bondi when it was just Bondi . I've worn the 2 & 3 too. I heard that the 4 was being restyled with the narrow box. I did not buy it bc I knew it would be trouble for me. Apparently Hoka listened bc the Bondi 5 has the wider (original) toe box. These have been the best shoes ever for me. Everyone I know has been having problems with the toe boxes going smaller in their models regardless of designer. We think it's bc people are wearing their shoes for daily activity and not for the proper use of physical activity. The companies seem to feel that they need to appeal to the people who wear for design rather than function. Hopefully companies will see that it's the more important part is function. I'd like to think that Hoka listened. try the Bondi 5

I have a bad knee and am training for senior olympics in October and they have helped me tremendously. Very happy

Walking/Running

Everyday wear

I am 64 but run 3 to 4 times per week. Mix of trails and road. Had the Bondi 4 prior with over 500 miles. So far this shoe appears more comfortable, stable, and shock absorbing. Have run two times in the new shoes and am very satisfied thus far.

I heard about Hoka shoes from a running buddy when he saw me hobbling down the street with planters faciitis . I have been wearing the shoes from the time I get out of bed until I go to sleep. My condition is almost gone. Can't wait to run in the shoe one day. I am going to buy a pair of the boots.

Feel great. Fit was perfect.

As I have only owned my Hoka shoes a short time, it is too soon to comment on the durability of them, but up to this point I am very pleased with the Bondi 5

FIRST STARTED IN THIS SHOE WHEN IT WAS RELEASED EARLY 2017. I'M ON MY THIRD PAIR. I RUN ABOUT 50-70 MILES A WEEK FOR A COLLEGE IN SOUTHERN INDIANA. I LOVE THE SHOE AND HAS HELPED ME WITH VARIOUS ACHES AND PAINS I HAVE WITH MY HIPS. MAX CUSHION IS GREAT! NOT ONLY DO I WEAR THESE FOR RUNNING, I HAVE A PAIR EXCLUSIVE FOR WORK. I'M A HUGE HOKA FAN.

I do a lot of running, biking and gym training, as well as some other sports. I am not a distance runner, I only run about 2 miles at a time, about 4 to 6 days a week. Just to wake up really. This is mostly because I get calf and achilles heels. The Bondi 5 really helps, and lets me get pretty frequent road runs in, thanks to its very thick cushioning. Otherwise I would really be limited to trail runs, which I love, but are not always convenient.

My first introduction to Homs was after trying four other brands of running shoes after ankle surgery. All of my usual go-to brands and shoes left me in pain and then I tried the Bondi 5. Immediately I felt my foot, ankle, and knees feel amazing. I have custom orthotic inserts in these and they're best for pavement or treadmill running.

I have bone on bone ankles and require braces on both feet. The first pair of Hoka's worked great and relieved a lot of pain that I ordered another. I would recommend them to anyone with foot and ankle problems. Thank you

Makes my heels feel the best they have in years

I use the shoes for running on the streets.

Training for a half, makes it much more enjoyable

Comfortable right out of the box. Just took a camping trip to the north Carolina mountains and could walk everywhere. Also walked thru caves and trails with no problems. I have big wide feet for a woman and these were shown to me at a store in Florida. I have a very hard time finding shoes to fit my feet. My son told me I was walking straighter and faster after wearing the shoes compared to my old shoes I brought with me for the trip. Best buy I made all trip.

I run 3-5 miles per run, 3 times a week. I was using Newton, and I felt that I kept straining the lower part of my legs, (below the calf muscle). I had to take some time off, to let my legs heal, and bought the Bondi 5 after trying out a bunch of different shoes. I feel as though the Bondis are probably the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, and I am now back to nearly pain free running. AND I'm close to getting back to my faster workouts according to my RunKeeper app. Also, I'm about to order another pair or 2.

This shoe is fantastic for running, walking, doing errands and a whole lot more. If you are searching for comfort, step into a pair of Bondi 5 's. You'll be happy you discovered Hoka One One. If you are size 11 1/2 order size 12.

Hoka came highly recommended from my elderly friend. We both have plantar fasciitis.She didn't say which model. So I called your customer service department. Bondi 5 was recommended.
