Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 6

Too narrow for my feet (men's size 11, wide). I couldn't wear them comfortably and threw them out.

The arch in the shoe hits my foot wrong and it is quite painful after a while. I wish I can return them, too expensive. They also get bigger after wearing them a few times so they feel way too big now.

I bought these shoes and liked them so I ordered another pair of shoes and a pair of boots. Didn't like the fit and tried to return them. Could never get to the final step on line. It just spins and spins and won't allow it to go through. I tried on several computers, my wife tried, our IT guy tried...nothing. $400+ out the door and I don't like the shoes. I would never order through their website again.

I was excited to try on my new shoes, I tried putting them on by pulling on the tongue to get them on my foot. and the tongue ripped out. I didn't even get to try them, they are supposed to be awesome shoes but mine were defective and tongue ripped out on first try on

I bought the pair for my son. It ripped after 2 months of sporadic use. I contacted Hoka website ( where I originally bought the shoes from) snd they said I had to ship it back and pay for the shipping and even then they would only determine if the shoes are eligible for exchange!!! I thought that was not very service oriented especially in these days of quarantine. They could have just asked for a picture. Because of that inconvenience I haven't had the time to ship the pair back. Not to mention I decided not to get another pair for myself, which was my original intention.

shoes wore out in 2 months ,

Bondi 5s felt great! The Bondi 6 is poor in comparison: stiff, thick, massively uncomfortable, constraining, heavy, hard, tourniquet-like closure, suffocating, hot. Miles away from how the Bondi 5 felt and performed. I would've bought 5s for decades! Always puzzling when a company nails a product, then changes it. Just come out with another shoe altogether so the users who are invested in using your products can RELY on them being made. Change the color/design, fine, but leave the crucial components alone. The Bondi 6 ruined the Bondi line for me. BRING BACK THE 5!

Loved these shoes at first. They are very comfortable out of the box. As the tread wears down they begin to squeak something fierce and there is no remedy. I've tried everything that Youtube told me to do, nothing works. :(

I had the Bondi 4 and ran about 600 miles in them, have loved most of the Hoka One One shoes I've had since the original Clifton. I got a pair of the Bondi 6 at my local running store and have had nothing but pain, due to a too short tongue and subsequent bruising across the top of my foot due to the pressure the laces apply. I was really looking forward to these being my go to long run shoe, but don't think I can run another mile in them.

The right shoe in the front just behind the toes feels like I'm walking on something. I thought it was a sock issue initially but after checking and changing socks it's still localized to one specific area.

Intended for hubby. We thought that there's a great room for improvements as for the style "it looks funny" my daughter said. As I unboxed the product I noticed the RIGHT SHOE TONGUE (detached on the shoe) WAS ONLY ATTACHED BY STRINGS.

I was very excited to try this shoes, unfortunately after they were a size bigger i had to return them for an exchange and I am still waiting for my shoes after I started a return on 12/13/19!!

I had purchased shoe bondi 6 2 months back which was a great product. This purchase the sole is no longer plush as mentioned and was present in the shoes i bought 2 months back.

I've been running the Bondi for a while (several pairs) and had found my "perfect shoe". However, I've had to return the last pair, twice. What I hoped was a manufacturing defect turned out to be something else. When the shoe is laced to prevent heel slippage (aka "lock-lacing" using all holes with last one to make a loop), it now leaves little blisters on my instep and is impossible to run more than 4 miles. Comparing it to my other Bondi's, the tongue is definitely thinner. On the surface, it looks like a cost cutting measure, not something to improve the shoe. I really hope I'm wrong. And it's not just me. Others in my running group are having the same issue with their recently purchased Bondi's. Respectfully requesting a return to the thicker tongue. Happy to provide any other feedback from me or my group.

Was hoping to get rid of my foot pain because I stand all day and was told these would help with that and that's not the case!!!!

Horribly painful on my heels. I stand long hours in surgery and the money is not worth it.

Return shoes and there was no feedback. Shoes run ran small and sent shoes back. I expect when I spend over 150 for a pair of shoes I should recieve some some feedback when sending a return. Horrible experience!!!!!

Feels too narrow, causes pain in my feet. Was looking for something similar to my last Hoka's but the older style was discontinued.

Beautiful shoes but had to return it because it doesn't support my arch at all.

Purchased two pairs of these and unfortunately both pairs have ripped where the fabric upper meets the sole at the ball of feet. Been wearing Hokas a long time and never had this happen before. Poor quality.

bought 2 pairs send them back, to small

Been running in Bondis for years. OK ,I'd give it 5 stars but I am sick of the weight. I want a max. cushioned shoe like the Bondi , but I want the weight closer to the Rincon. I am getting a little sick with the extra weight and I am ready to jump ship. Give me a 37 mm /33 mm stack with 2 to 3 oz. of less weight. Take the Rincon and add 5 to 6 mm on the bottom stack. My Rincon at size 8 1/2 weights 6.98 oz and my Bondi 6 weights 10.28 oz. I am getting sick of this heavy shoe. Just think of a Bondi that was 8 to 8.5 oz. You would rake in the sales and blow the competition away in this max. cushion category .

This is a great pair of shoes! I love everything about them, but wish the shoestrings were just a little longer. I had to use the second set of shoestring holes at the ankle to tighten them to prevent my heel from sliding. this shortened the shoestring. Other than that, these may be the best shoes I've owned for working 12 to 16 hour shifts on my feet in a hospital. They give great support and cushion, and absorb the shock that some shoes allow to go to your knees.
