Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 5

Have several pairs that I swap out........I am on the heavy side and give my feet full support.

Was looking fora replacement for clifton 3's since the 4's did not work for me. Had never tried Bondi before and am pleased with the overall feel and fit. Plush feel similar to clifton. The energy return on these is fantastic. Puts a little bounce or spring in my step . When running, feel like going faster and when walking, feel like running. Never experienced that with any other shoe. Great for putting in 2-3 miles per day on concrete at work and for running on asphalt.

good running shoe for pavement, cushion saves the back

These were a gift to a special friend and he loved them

Have neuropathy and these are very cushioned.

I am a very happy user and a proud owner of 3 Hoka products, a Clifton 3, a Clayton 2 and a Bondi 5.

Perfectly cushioned

Eight months ago, I gave myself severe tendonitis/bursitis in front of my feet. After several visits to the podiatrist and re-injuring myself twice, my podiatrist told me the one viable option I had left was to switch to only wearing Hoka footwear. At home I wear Hoka sandals and the gym and work I wear the Bondi 5. My feet are finally starting to heal. I am very thankful for these shoes and sandals and I will continue to purchase these products in the future.

Tried this product on recommendation of a running store clerk(also an avid runner) last June for plantar fasciitis and haven't looked back. This was my 3rd pair. While expensive, I have been able to return to running and do 3-10 miles at a shot when I can.

One of the best running shoes for me by Hoka One One...love the Bondi collection.

I use them to referee high school basketball. Currently in competitive tournaments and I do 7 games every Saturday. With this shoes I can go the distance all day long. I know that a number of NBA officials are wearing them and I used them 10 years ago to do triathlons so I figure if I can run 13 miles of a 1/2 Ironman why not wear them in the gym. Great product. The only downside is I applied for a sales job with HokaOneOne before they sold out to Decker.

Very comfortable. They were recommended for plantar faciatis problem. Can't say yet if they are helping that problem...time will tell. However, they have helped to make working on my feet somewhat easier.

I tried my first pair from a sales staff recommendation at local running store. I previously wore high quality shoes that provided a lot of support and cushioning due to arthritis in both feet and toes. I was elated with the comfort and am able to walk without arthritis pain. This shoe is the best if you have issues with foot and toe pain. I now have 3 pairs of different Hokas and will not buy any other athletic shoe.

Great shoe. I run 20-25 miles a week have recently developed some knee and hip pain. The shoe has helped A LOT. Cannot wait for upcoming 1/2 marathon in 2 weeks.

Had the Bondi 3 and loved them. These are even more comfortable.

Once I got them broken in for work, I don't feel the 15 mile I run back in forth on sand, wood and concrete. Great for serving

I love the extra cusion ,I feel when I run , on the ball of my feet.

For me as a walker: I love the shoe.

Triathlon training and events

I like the fit and for an overweight guy that likes to run a few miles a week, they are good for my joints.

Hey there, this is my second pair of Bondi5's in the past three months. I rotate them every few days. I'm 60 years old and was going to give up runnning and jumping rope until I purchased these shoes. They gave me my life back! Light and durable. I wear them every day. Great for CrossFit. I don't use lifters anymore and still able to reach weightlifting PR's and do metabolic conditioning without changing shoes. I'll never go back to a traditional shoe.

I have been a fan of Bondi for over 4 years now. I started with Bondi 2 , then 3, 4 and recently purchased two pair of 5 wide. I run average of 100 miles a month and change the shoes once a year. I switched from Asics over poor customer service back in 2013 and very happy to have made the decision to switch. I am pleased with the quality, comfort and the price ( when you consider getting at least 50% more usage out of these shoes than other top brands). The extra cushioning has helped me with knee pains on long run.

I bought a pair of these in Dallas at Luke's Locker and used them pretty quick after. I have no complaints, i just took up running to help me get in better shape. I have ran with these shoes twice since i bought them on 3/22 and i love them.
