Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 5

Super comfortable. Firm and cushy at the same time.

Amazing cushioning! The only weakness is the upper -- does not have the glove-like fit I've experienced with ASICS Gel Nimbus & Gel Cumulus.

I own three pairs of these shoes. One pair was falling apart within weeks .... as if it wasn't glued together in many spots. Other two pairs have been great. I crew a race car team and I'm on my feet for 14 hours at a time .... these shoes make a ton of difference.

Comming back after an injury (shin splint), excellent balance between cushion and responsiveness.

Wear them every day. My primary shoe for everything except formal settings.

Best Running Shoe - better then Nike

Really enjoy wearing my Hoka's. Especially on hikes. Don't always wear to exercise class due to thickness of sole. Sometimes worry about catching thicker shoe on step or other equipment.

its the "best shoe' for the money and fits as advertised

Almost everyday, all day. Not only easy on feet gives me good walking friction to keep my balance. I'm mid 70's. So walk to field or ballpark to watch, not compete. More for my health and not fAlling. Give confiDEnce.

I used to wear asics which I loved and switched to Hoka and will not wear another pair of shoes. I wear my old pairs for daily shoes when I go places with my family. I do with the Hoka One Bondi Wide came in some other option for colors. Something little more flashy. Love my HOKA's

Most comfortable shoe that I have ever owned and, at age 77, I have gone through a lot of shoes

Hoka is my go to shoe for working 12 hour shifts. I recommend these shoes to any one working long hours on hard floors.

I was recently introduced to Hoka by a high school XC/Track athlete in our neighborhood, when I asked him (gently) if his "meet" shoes weren't awfully big, bulky, and heavy. He took one off and handed it to me, telling me how soft, light, and leg-friendly, and then durable, they were. Amazed, I went to the local shop that carries them and ended up in love with a pair of Bondi 5's. At my insistence my wife agreed to try them too, and she chose a pair of Clayton' 3's. A diabetic, she normally buys specialty shoes, but quickly decided to go with Hoka's, too. After 3 week or so of use, you'd have to fight us to take our Hoka's away. Terrific!! Pillow soft, my Bondi 5's have banished all the jarring and pounding from running; in fact, I am no longer even aware of what's going on with my feet and legs any more, other than cruising along. All those Hoka "Hi-Tech" improvements add up to the title of this review! I have also added Hoka's (also Hi-Tech) Low-Cut Socks (which pair wonderfully with Hoka shoes; see review there) and Hoka Ora recovery sandals ("palatial" after a run and any other time; I now use them exclusively as my "house slippers" ... just fabulous). Retired, I have run all my life and have never been so pampered and comfortable. Even my Hoka Technical Tee (Citron) is a special pleasure to wear. THANK YOU HOKA!!!!

I use this for regular wear after workouts.

U

AWESOME Running shoe for hard services especially concrete Better then Nike. JOB WELL DONE HOKA! I run 9 miles on concrete/asphalt & the Bondi 5 is perfect. I am really impressed. Thank you for making a great running shoe. Keep up the great work.

I wear my shoes running and wear it to work. I have chronic plantar fasciitis and back issues and these shoes have allowed me to continue running without pain on my knees, feet, and back. I also wear it to work and being in my feet 12 hours a day seeing my patients makes for a very comfortable day for my feet. In addition, Hoka Hoka One shoes have great designs and colors. They definitely are conversations starters with my patients and the general public. As a health care provider I recommend it daily to my patients and anyone who has foot, knee, and back issues. I have 4 pairs of Hoka Hoka one shoes now including my hiking shoes. I pretty much inclusively use Hoka Hoka One for sport shoes.

I am totally happy with the shoe

Almost gave up running due to plantar fasciitis. I had tried everything on the market and was looking at surgery to alleviate the pain. Several ultra runners recommended I try Hokas. From the moment I tried a pair on my pain went away. It was literally a miracle for me. I have been running in this shoe for 15 months with absolutely zero pain. I use this shoe for both training and running events, in wet and dry, on paved roads and trails and it works great for me.

I love them I have bad feet from all kinds of injuries. I wear them when i work out i go walking all the time and when i know i am gonna do alot of walking going to places i wear them wont buy any other workout shoe.

I wrote from Per, si my third pair of Hoka's. I'm Boing to tell an incredible story; yesterdey that ran near the sea I see a small car that tried to park between tho cars, for help I got behind the car (big error) to give directions, without warning accelerated very fast back and my foot was trapped under the right rear wheel, the lady who Drive is blocked and did not reach anything, happily I Wars with my Bondi 5, I think they helped a lot that nothing happens to me, my foot was the middle of the tire and the spectacular outsole of my Bondi, helped to dissipate the energy and weight of the car. ( Im sorry, my English is not good)

My husband is on his feet eight to ten hours a day and he's 100% happy with the comfort provided by this shoe. It was recommended to him and he would buy and recommend it to others.

Seems to be helping with NON SPUR HEEL PAIN

These are my 2nd pair of Bondi 5's. These seem to be even more comfortable than my 1st pair for some reason. My 1st pair I had to break in a little before I felt the comfortable cushion, these, comfortable from the first minute! The color is absolutely stunning (BLUE / RED ORANGE / GOLD FUSION)! Wow! Hoka you listened to me when last year I told you to come out with more bright colors. Thanks! Hands down my favorite shoe of all time. Most people I talk to say they are afraid of running hard/fast on downhill stretches of street due to knee and back pain and injury, me, I let her rip and all is good! I'm even 60 years old. Try a pair for 30 days. What do you have to lose?
