Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 6

I don't like these as much as the Gaviota pronation support shoes . Cushioned but I miss that lateral support . I am a nurse and always wear men's wide 7.5 for the width . Standard men's and even women's wide don't fit me correctly

Very comfortable shoe. I didn't seem to get very many miles in them before they were worn. Also, if this comes in a wide it would have been better for me.

I had the bondi 5 and wore them for the past 2years and wanted to get a new pair. I had to buy the bondi 6and it's not as cushy as the bondi 5. I'm so disappointed. If I had known they were going to stop making the bondi 5 I would have bought 2 more bondi 5's before hand. Please bring it back.

Laces broke within a month. Very disappointing especially when their customer service advised me that they don't stock laces or couldn't tell me how to find any replacements. Shoes seem great but won't work without laces.

I bought this product in the middle of summer of 2019. It was a great shoe that gave me plenty of cushion and allowed me to work long hours at work on concrete floors. I was in love with the shoe for about 4 months. This was until I started feeling more throbbing pain return to my feet. I noticed the outsole was wearing out very quickly and was already worn down at the back of the shoe. Also the toe box started to tear where the mesh meets the sides of the shoe. I purposely bought a half size up and ordered a wide since I have wide feet. I find that the shoe still isn't a true wide. I continue to wear them for another two months until I couldn't wear them anymore. As expensive as they are they should really last a lot longer than 6 months.

I only use them for walking during work not running.

I'm a nurse and I find that walking in the Bondi 6 is more comfortable than actually standing in one spot. The Bondi is surprisingly lite despite the thick sole and that's a big plus!

I really like the white sole, too bad it does not come in a wide, like the all black Bondi 6 wide.

wear to the gym and for walking

I have had a pair of bondi 6 shoes since july and the top if the right shoe material has separated at the toe. I bought them for comfort but at the price I paid I would have wanted better quality. This will be the only pair that I buy. I hope this is not a quality control problem

My first set of Hokas... they look good and I like the cushioning but they're too narrow, I'm going to try to exchange them for wide ones. That's strange though because I've never had to buy wide shoes before (Salomon, Nike etc.). Hopefully the wider ones will be more comfortable because I really want to like these.

I use the shoes to run 4 to 5 times per week, at 3.5 miles each time.

The shoe was just too plush almost squishy..good shoe for those needing extra cushion. I went back to my Clifton.. love them and love Hoka shoes

I initially ordered and returned the BONDI 6 in 10 1/2 Wide. They felt great!!! Ran about 1.5 miles and I felt the front of my foot had way too much space. So I returned them and ordered the 10 1/2 regular... just got them today and i miss the Hoka feeling but the toe box is so darn tight and uncomfortable. I am gonna hope for the best but am so disappointed that they crunch up the toes.

I really like this show and have found the cushioning to be exceptional and has been great for my knees and muscles. I've struggled with calf strains in the past and have found the Bondi's cushioning to be great in that regard. The line drawback is the lack of breathability. Ive never had an issue with my feet sweating in other running shoes but these are bad. I've had them for about 2 1/2 mos and they are beginning to smell so I'll need to wash them which will be a first for me. Be interested to know if anyone else has had this issue. Seems like such a simple issue to solve for a shoe manufacturer but it appears that Hoka missed on this one. Hope they address this in the next edition.

I bought the Bondi 6 about 3 months ago and they were great for a couple months and then it seemed like the cushion stopped. I let them rest in between runs to ensure they built back up to standard. I love the Bondi 6 just not sure they are worth the money if they only last a few months. What is the lifespan?

Would I recommend it? Depending on how do you plan of using it. At work - Great! For running - Not so much! The shoe has a wider footprint and concave insole which feel like a suction on ground contact ... harder to push off.. slowed me down when running. Run 7-8miles 3-4x/wk.

I look forward to seeing the styling and mechanics of the shoe improves in time. In terms of styling and color I feel like their older generation looked better with regards to color and trends, with the mechanics it offers great cushioning and being light weight though the outsole has a wider footprint, a concave insole which also lacking medial arch support that will slow one down. I run 6-7 miles 3-4x/wk and I feel a drag and hard to push off. Its like suction cup during stance(foot< >ground contact).
