I got this because it seems to have the most cushioning of all your shoes. Please don't cut back on the cushioning

I love my Hokas! They saved my knees!! I haven't had a problem with my knees since i switched from Brooks.
The only down side its that i have to purchase the Men's sized shoes. I compete in endurance sports and i need my shoes to be a little bigger to accommodate foot swelling after running 13+ miles. I normally wear a women's 11, but i need to go up a size if i want tho wear the shoes for competition. Hoka Women's shoes stop at 11. You guys need to remedy that!!! I'm sure there are many women who are in the same boat as I am.

A former college football player (defensive end) my knees have taken a beating, surgery and all... I have always loved to run, and thought three years ago my knees couldn't take it any longer. I'm 56 years old, 6'5", 225lbs, and these shoes have saved my running life! From the the first time I put them on and took off running... zero pain. ZERO. I run 3 miles a day still, zero pain. I tell everyone I see that might be complaining tabout running due to knees pain about these shoes. I'm a big believer and advocate for these and so thankful.
Some, including myself, aren't too keen on the bulky look.. get over It! This shoe has saved my running life!

Running shoes that really cushion the feet upon hard asphalt contact.

One of the best ever purchased. I am a hair dresser stand all day the cushion, comfort , light weight, balance, couldn't be better. I have bought 5 pairs. My only complaint unable to buy solid colors.

Great every day training shoe and light enough to race in. I'm 57 averaging 8:20 per mile and with just over 300 miles run since purchase, have found this to be a great shoe. Most important for me is how well they perform throughout the longer runs and offer the right amout of support to knock out the last few miles.

I wear these to exercise class 3 days a week and they are like wearing your bedroom slippers to class. Now I want a pair of Hoka One One hiking boots to take on my Yellowstone trip this fall !

It took me a bit to find my size, 10.5 2E. Hoka made at least 3 colors in the Bondi5, I have all three. I want to purchase more, but every vendor is OUT of the 2E width, even though many still have D. (If I'm a marketing person, that says make more 2E's.).

Just like my other three pair of Hokas, the Biondi 5 are just perfect.

Purchased at a local retailer in Fort Lauderdale. I had had 4 surgeries on my right foot. For the first time in four years I'm having normal days at work and the gym with my new Hoka.

I wear my Bondis with custom orthotics which fit beautifully in this shoe. Little to no heel lift with orthotics in place. I've got heavy pronation in both feet and this is hands-down the best running shoe I've owned. Will definitely be back for another pair.

I didn't realize how much difference this much sole cushion makes until trying these shoes. While I've only done one Olympic triathlon, a ten miler, and about 30 training miles in these shoes, I can't believe the notable comfort improvement over my previous shoes.

I wear a women's 8 wide in Bondi 5. You can't find many of them now as they have stopped making them. I found out they are releasing a new Bondi at the end of August (maybe saw a preview on you tube, or somewhere else after much searching. My only alternative in women's was pink and I don't do pink. I tried a men's 8D and it didn't have as much room in the toe box as the womens 9 Wide. I need a wide toe box as I have broken a bone in the ball of my foot, as well as a toe and have arthritis in my big toe joint. The men's 8 wide give me the room in the toe box, but my heel slips a little.
I have plantar fasciitis and my feet love all the cushion in the shoes. I also like the rocker. It bothers my toe joint and ball of foot when it flexes and pushes off to take another step. The rocker takes some of the stress of that. It is a stiff shoe to which is good for my foot, in that respect.
The preview clip I saw said they were going to change the rocker somewhat. I don't know what my foot will think of that? The only problem I have had with my old Bondi's is some of the colored outer sole pieces have started to come unglued and I have to glue them back down.

Have little padding on feet, so the plush cushion absorbs the hard pounding while doing workouts or daily walks.

First pair had a problem with the rear portion of the black sole coming apart, returned and replaced under warranty. Before I even wore them my puppy got a hold of one shoe and ate a hole in the top near the ankle, not happy!

I am a 32 y/o Former high school all-american mid distance runner who is recovering from major foot surgery and secondary big toe surgery same foot. These were recommended to me by a family member, but then also by the employee at Valley Forge Running Co. These bondi's are helping remake my life after I lost so much this past year and I will never buy a non-Hoka shoe again. Own the bondi-leather for work as well.
Love, love, love them.
