Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 6

The fit, size and width are spot on. Very comfortable shoes. I don't wear any other brand of shoes.

These are perfect! Great fit and comfortable from the very beginning. These I will keep.

It was good. The last pair I got pinched my toes should have sent them back, but thought that they would stretch. They never did and I developed big calluses on my toes. These wider ones are perfect. I think they run a little narrow because I've never had to buy a wide shoe.

True to size. The Bondi 6 is now my favorite walking shoe. I have been walking in the Hoka one one Clifton 6 and they were great, but since switching to the Bondi 6 my feet don’t ache anymore!!!

These are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever put on my feet. Even walking on a hardwood floor it feels like you’re sinking down into it like walking on a rubber track. Awesome for running and I can walk for hours without my feet being tired. I wear some super thin Darn Tough socks Very big toe box but it hasn’t been an issue. I wear 11 in Nike’s and 10.5 of these fit great

Hands down the best shoe for me due to my high arches. Offers the must for support and comfort.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! For over two months, I have been suffering over what has finally been diagnosed as METATARSALGIA, a deep, burning sensation in the ball of my foot. Not too much one can do to alleviate this other than special pads, etc. Lengthy online searches suggested this shoe and other highly-cushioned shoes with “rocker” soles. I’ve been wearing all afternoon and am happy with my choice so far.

Overall, a great shoe. I walk with hip pain and these, because of the softness and padding, are very helpful -- maybe the most comfortable I have tried. I was skeptical at first and thought they may feel squishy and unstable. Somehow, they are both supportive and soft, which is super. I wore New Balance 990s (and updates) for years, but they don't provide the pain relief level that I want. The Bondi 6 is lighter, brighter, and more comfortable than NB. A bit clumsy at first -- like huge Frankenstein shoes -- but before too long I settled-in and now they feel right. The color selection is quite good, but Zappos seems to be having difficulties keeping the run of sizes and colors in stock. Using the 'notify me when this is back in stock' option is a convenience that works well (one of the great services that Zappos provides). I am usually a 10 4E in New Balance 990s (and the updates). The Bondi 6 in 10 EE was too short, narrow, and the toe box too short. Same with the 10 1/2 EE. While still a bit snug and the toe box marginal, the 11 EE is about right. The Bondi 6 model touts a newer, wider fit. Makes me wonder what they used to be. I think they will continue to loosen up as I wear them. I just couldn't face going to an 11 1/2 and feeling as though I was wearing aircraft carriers on my feet! The shoe laces are different -- stretchy -- and do not stay tied as securely as they should and ideally should be about an inch or two longer to allow double knotting. Picky issues: The stretchy laces are also confusing when initially lacing and trying to keep the lengths and twists the same and the fit across the top of the foot consistent. The lacing holes on the shoes are tight and fiddly in trying to get the shoelace aglets through. What I may do: I will continue wearing and enjoying the Bondi 6 and over time consider going to a thinner insole to allow more wiggle room. The factory insole appears as nothing special. However, on closer inspection it is thicker in the forefoot area than many others.

I have ball of feat pain and I have tried many, many shoes and none of them alleviate the pain of being on my feet for 8 hours except The Hoka One One Bondi...Buy these and you will find relief due to the amazing thickness of padding

I am new to expensive running shoes, and got these on a recommendation from a friend who was also dealing with foot pain. At first I thought these would be a no-go, there was some seemingly misplaced support between the heel and arch on the inside, and it was uncomfortable. I put a gel insert under the Hoka insole (there was enough room in the fit for both), and just began to use them. After a few days and 10 miles or so it had become a non-issue for whatever reason. Here's the short version: when these wear out, I will buy another pair, as expensive as they are. That is because they have made my foot pain (mine is between ball and toes) manageable and I'm enjoying trail walking again. I've got over 100 miles on them on woodland trails, and they look like they will probably get to 300 or so before I need to replace. I'd give 4 stars because of the price, but when something just plain solves a problem, it's 5 stars.

My husband swears by these shoes. He describes it as walking on a cloud and still felt good after working all day.

This is my first pair of Hoka shoes. There is nothing out there that I have tried that compares to the cushioning. I got these because I started getting joint pain from running. I was a minimalist midsole shoe guys but if you don't have a perfect gait then these are very forgiving shoe. The cushion is like running on a kids play area they are bouncy and even have a little spring. I have run with these twice and it feels like cheating. I know the knock on Hoka is the styling but as a designer they actually do a good job of trying to hide the massive midsole. This shoe is at least .25 to .5 inch thicker than my other shoes.

Shoe is very comfortable, I am a larger man best shoes i have found to date for running

Very comfortable, very wide and nicely padded
