Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Leather

I have the Clifton 4 summer weight shoe that I was able to try on at REI. Hence, I could find the size that fit me best. That shoe has amazing comfort, espeically for working out and walking with gusto. I also stand a good bit of the day with teaching or at my studio. Because I tend to get plantar fasciitis, having a good shoe is paramount. Now that winter has arrrived, my feet were getting cold with the ventilation of the Clifton. Although pricey, I ordered the Bondi leather version. I had thought that the Clifton was comfortable; the Bondi is absolutely fabulous!!!! Right out of the box. My feet have NEVER been so happy!!! I ordered the Tradewinds color, and am very pleased. They didn't appear to look so humongous as the black.

I normally wear an 8.5 in shoes. I bought a pair of 9.5 Bondi 5s when I was recovering from big toe arthritis surgery (Cheilectomy) and those worked well and still do. My surgery recovery has not gone well and I need stiff soled rocker bottom shoes. My Doctor suggested Hokas and they are by far the most comfortable, supportive, cushioned shoes I’ve ever worn in my life! The colored shoes are much cuter but I bought this jet black leather to sort of go away when wearing black. But, the 9.5 Bondi 6 was too big so I returned them and got a 9 and they are perfect!! I wear Medium width - these are a little bit wide so I tighten the laces and it’s fine. Lots of room in the toe box. These have also taken away my knee pain as they stabilize my gate. By far best shoe son the market for my condition!!

After 7 months of daily 3-mile walks in cold, rainy, sometimes snowy weather, these shoes are still holding up great. Generally, my walking shoes wear out around 6 months, but these are going to last longer. I've liked Hoka shoes in the past, especially those that have a good wide toe box. These also fit well, providing a good cushion for middle-aged joints, plus the thick sole sits up high enough to keep me above the puddles and wet grass. Indeed, my feet have never once gotten wet while wearing these, even when the rest of me was drenched. I wouldn't go walking through a river with them, but for a rainy Pacific Northwest winter they were perfect. The Bondi Leather doesn't really "breathe," so it's not what I'll be using on hot summer days. I've still got about 3 months before that point, though, and for now these shoes are keeping my feet dry and me happy.

I wear a size 8.5 to 9 depending on shoe. I got these in a size 9 and they fit perfect. I am a mail carrier and walk on average 28,000 steps a day. My heel has been hurting lately. I bought these upon recommendation from another mail carrier who also has feet issues. These are incredibly cushioned and comfortable. These are by far the best I have worn. As far as the looks I don't think they are as ugly as some say but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. They are chunky looking but to me that is a good thing for wear and tear. I will get another pair in the mesh for the hot days in the summer. For me these are the best!! Highly recommend!

Hoka One One shoes were recommended to me by my physical therapist last year. I now own three pair, and they are by far the most comfortable shoe I own! I used to suffer from heal pain (plantar fasciitis) and these shoes saved my life! These also help with my overpronation. If you have problems with your feet or knees, these shoes should help.

Great shoe, I like the support and how it cradles my feet. They aren't the prettiest or the most fashionable shoe though. Very comfortable and I would buy again.

I am a middle aged women who works as a server. I'm on my feet a lot and I have a lot of problems with them. These shoes are the only ones I can wear that keep my feet comfortable and performing well. Love, love, love them. I have tried other 'brands' and versions but the Hoka Bondi One One's seem to work the best for me. If I had one wish- is that I would like more styles that are a little more stylish- a black and white version would be greatly appreciated.

Very good cushioning. Firm rocker sole. Pleather like material. Upper is not plush and laces are stretchy and thin. This shoe fits 1/2 size large and is extra wide. Orthotics fit well. Overall I did not care for this shoe.

Too tight in ball of foot. Wonderful cushioning! Great pull on tab in back. I hope the width problem can be solved with use.

They fit as expected. The width is perfect for the wider foot. They are leather so they will keep ones feet warmer in the winter.

Cushy. I’m on my feet all day. Gets better as you wear them.

After wearing these for an entire day, I have hope to make it to retirement with minimal pain and discomfort (other than my knee that needs replacement) I have tried so many different shoes over the years. On my feet all day, five days a week on Hard granite floors. With my own insoles and the already comfortable Hoka One One, it has made such a difference. I ordered the wide because I broke my little toe 2-3 Times, so one foot is a bit wider. These Re perfect! I love Zappo’s quick delivery and easy returns, but these are staying with me!

Getting ready for work and just put my insoles in this shoe. Feels good so far. I am on my feet 95-99% of my day, with a bad knee and a neuroma. I have high hopes and will review further this evening when I get home.

On my feet pretty much 8hours a day for the last fifteen years. My feet suffer! I have tried many shoes over those years. Some work for awhile, then they change them in some little way. The Hoka One One is clunky looking. I wish they were “cuter.” But, they are so comfortable! I added my cushiony insoles and I am good for the day. If you have reached a point you are desperate for comfort and will sacrifice cuteness...Hoka One One is your shoe.

I have worn Hoka’s for several years. I really needed a new pair and this was the only style in my size and wide width. I usually wear the Bondi 5 so I assumed the Bondi would be similar. Oh my goodness is it ever clunky. Hoka’s are never super cute - that isn’t why I buy them. But I simply can’t do these. I look like I have Frankenstein boots on. Going back...

I liked the shoe but the toe bed was a little too exact. Not a lot of space for a thick sock. A lot of cushion, but not like my Skechers shape ups. Had to return.

to me this shoe was ugly & would not breath well. so back it goes.

Nice cushioning. I found these shoes run a half size large and the wide to be too wide. Orthotics fit nicely in the shoes. I do not care for the pleather like material.
