I own three pairs of Hoka One One shoes--Bondi 6, Gaviota, and Challenger ATR. All are good shoes, and I am glad that I have each pair. I have had for the past two months plantar fasciitis in one foot. I have lots of regular and athletic shoes of many brands and types, and all kinds of shoe inserts. The ONLY shoes that succeed in avoiding my foot pain are my Mephisto sandals (for inside my house) and either a walking boot (such as used for stabilizing a broken foot) or a Hoka One One--and of my three Hokas, the Bondi 6 is best because it works all the time for me.

Love my Bondi 6 shoes! Originally had a pair of running shoes that seemed to be entering my IT band. And I got the Bondi sick shoes and the Comfort level went out the window! IT band now healed and loving these shoes

These shoes are soft and pillowy. Great for tired, sore feet. Extremely comfortable. Have had sore, arthritic feet for 38 years. Searching for comfortable shoes has been a mission. I have finally found them.

These were for my husband. He discovered Hoka’s at REÍ and loves them. He wears them out and is on his 3rd pair. So that says something. They’re very cushy which he says helps his knees. Not the most attractive in my opinion, but if he likes them, it’s cool.

The length and width are true to size. I only wish more of the Hoka One One Bondi 6 Men's shoes were available for sale in my size. There were only one or two shoes to pick from. I preferred another color, but I haven't been able to find it for months.

These shoes surprised me with the amount of cushioning and yet still being so light. Support good as well. These are my every day runners and I'm loving them.

I bought this pair of Bondi 6's to replace my Bondi 5's that had worn out after a lot of wearing. I loved my Bondi 5's, and these Bondi 6's seem like they will be at least as good. They have a great cushioned sole, which is also very rigid which is good for my feet. My feet are a little on the narrow side, so these shoes have a little extra room in them, but they lace up snugly and fit very well. The mesh fabric looks great and is very breathable. Fabulous shoes!

My HOKA's are the best running and walking shoes that I have ever had the opportunity to wear. I love these shoes and go nowhere without them.

Right out of the box, these felt great. I bought them for recovery, and long runs. Also, I felt comfortable picking up the pace, and running faster. Most of my miles are in the Napali, a much lighter shoe, however, the Bondi, felt rather fast, to me, as well.
The upper was exceptionally comfortable, and rather stylish. Well done.

These running shoes are the cats meow! Perfect fit and more importantly perfect cushioning and comfort. I run on roads but running on these shoes feels like running on rubber pillows. Propels you forward but with loads of cushioning which I need. Just wonderful.

First, let me qualify "Feels true to width". The footbed finally feels perfect to me again. I started in Tarmac's, then got into Bondi at version 3. The 4's felt like a footbed step backward. The 5's were a big step backward.I felt the sides of the footbed and it was distracting/annoying. Even the red dye of the 5's was terrible (ruined my white socks until I got into the habit of wearing black). The Bondi 6 is once again perfect (for me). Oddly, the upper does seem too wide. There's quite a bit of bunching at the laces, particularly near the toe box. Whatever. They feel great and I hope the version 7 doesn't lose any ground that this shoe got back! They're like running in a well ventilated cloud of kittens & bunnies.

Great shoe! Used to have pain and snapping/cracklings of ankles. Now I have no issues. Really lightweight and cushiony.

Gave up running due to knee injury but now walk 70,000+ steps/week and greatly appreciate the cushioning and overall high quality of this shoe. Thought the Bondi 4 was special but the 6 is even better!

I won't run in anything else. A HOKA rep fit me in the Bondi's 2 years ago at the Dallas Marathon and I have not looked back.

Signed off my Bondi 5's with just over 400 miles and a 1:44 1/2, but was concerned by early reviews about the new 6 model. 1st look I was impressed by the new materials and the fit was great, so I went ahead and bought a pair, as the reality is these shoes let me run pain free. 1st time out I felt the toe box was too close on my larger left foot, but changing the laces to a runners loop solved that and held my foot better in the shoe when running. 150 miles later I feel qualified to comment & can fully recommend these to any serious runner, including my wife of 30 years, who is loving her 1st pair.

These were a replacement for the Bondi 5 model and they didn’t disappoint in the cushioning department for sure. ASICS Nimbus used to be my go to shoe but they started to evolve into something else with the 18 and 19 model, (less cushioning, more stability?) With Asics, I used to be able to put 300 miles on a pair before I started to feel it in my hips and knees. Long story short, in my search for max cushioning I tried Hoka One One and put 500 miles on my first pair without feeling any soreness. This is my third pair and I’m glad I switched. If you’re concerned about them being awkward because of the height as I was when I first tried them, don’t be. They were just fine. I do extra miles because they are so comfy cushiony.
