Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 6

Feels great! Still searching for extreme forefoot cushioning thru the toe box. These will have to do until some company comes up with it. Note to Hoka one. Hire new designers please.

Nice wide forefoot, sizing and length seem normal. They feel quite neutral to me, but the arch support is quite high and pushed into my right arch especially - but in a good way maybe :) Very plush cushioning - they make you a couple of inches taller. They were quite comfy right out of the box on a quick walk around the block. If anything, the heel seems a bit too soft. I'm not a fan of segmented soles, and here it makes them feel a bit squishy and not altogether stable. The mid-sole is quite thick though and may remain supportive over the long term. Fit and finish appear excellent. I'll have to see how they fare over the long term.

These run small and narrow. (I NEVER have to order a wide but I do in these.) If you have a truly wide foot, I’m not sure these are good for you. However, once I got the fit worked out, they function beautifully. I need maximum cushioning during my runs (I’m 57, so my joints appreciate the soft ride) and these are the best in that regard.

Had to buy 1/2 size larger to get a good fit

I’m normally a true 9. The 9.5 fit me much better. The arch was a great fit which is the main reason I chose HOKA

The heel cushioning is such (spongey) that when first standing after putting them on, there is tendency to rock backwards. Those who are otherwise unstable on their feet should use caution.

Shoes are good if you have arches. I have flat feet and no arch support. Going to try Gaviota 2.

True to size. Springy feel. Bought for a trip where I would be walking extensively and standing for long periods, rather than running. Believe it fits this purpose well.

It fit well and was very comfortable. A true 2E wide. This shoe surprised me as I had never heard of the brand before I began looking for “best walking shoes for plantar fasciitis.” I really went deep into research and I’m glad I found this brand. I’m returning the shoe though, because I think it’s too much for what I need/want right now, being that I only plan on walking and it’s designed for running. It felt very sturdy and supportive, and I think I might find a keeper in another style designed for walking (perhaps with less sole and traction.) on the screen, they look pretty big and kinda funny, but it person it looked fine on me (though I am a good sized woman). A small, thin woman might think it’s too much shoe—just personal preference.

I’m a nurse and I got these for the long 12 hr shifts. I’ve worn them for about a year and they make my shifts so much better! Tons of comfort even when I’m always on my feet. The only downside is they’ve completely ripped apart at the sole and top part.
