Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 6

I used to wear Ryn Rocker Bottom shoes but they quit making them. Trying to find shoes has left me in tears until I found Bondi 6. They are just as cushiony as my old Ryn shoes. The toe box is wide and I can wiggle my toes. I can never wiggle my toes. Ryn is the only other shoe I've been able to do that in. The best part is these shoes don't slip like my Ryn's used to. They stick to the ground. The shoes I had before gave me Plantar Fasciitis and a huge bump on my big toe. I got those from The Walking Company. I was fitted by them but the shoes were too small. In desperation, I found a running store that fitted me with the Bondi 6. Who knew running stores can help hard to fit people who don't even run? I love my new Bondi 6 so much! The fit is truly 5 star. I gave 4 stars because I hate the dark blue. I want to wear pretty colors. I would love to get the pink ones. But they don't make the pink ones in wide and I have to have wide shoes. Can't imagine a shoe fitting any better than these.Before I got these, I was sure no company even made shoes that would fit me. These really are an answer to my prayers!

This is my first try of a Bondi. I have 3 other pairs of Hokas (all different). It has the great cushion as always and a little more support. I think this will be my new longer distance shoe.

Comfy to wear everyday

Previously wore Clifton's but were too narrow in the arch and not flexible. Bondi replacement worked for me.

I love these shoes. The cushioning and rocker soles are perfect for my arthritis of the big toe. I only gave it a 4 because the wide could be a little wider and after only 3 months wear the lining under my one big toe has shredded and there is a small hole over the toe which I am sure will get bigger.

Earlier I purchased a pair of the Bondi 5 model in wide and wanted another in black. I missed my chance though. When no more were available in my size, I waited for the upcoming Bondi 6. I ordered the same size in wide. Soon after trying the shoes on I noticed that they are not as wide as the Bondi 5s. That worried me considerably as I have had 2 surgeries for Morton's Neuroma and have to wear wider shoes to prevent pressure on the nerve in my foot. I wish Hoka had retained the width as before. Fortunately I've been able to wear these shoes without a problem. But I'm not so sure if that will be possible with thicker socks. Planning to get a second pair before the next model comes out and is even more narrow. The cushioning on these is fantastic. They look clunky, but I'm alright with that. They don't feel heavy and I can walk with out pain. Actually the look suits my avant-garde style. (My plea to Hoka-- I really wish companies would stop making shoes more narrow. I'm purchasing the wider width version because I need the width. I recently left Altra because it made the updated Paradigm model less wide. Please don't make leave Hoka too.)

I love my new HOKA shoes! The only thing I would change is to increase the length of the tongue slightly so that it doesn't end right where my foot/ankle bends. Or, add more padding at the end of the tongue.

The only thing that drives me nuts are the laces. For me they're too long and I feel as though I'm going to undo them and trip.

These are really great shoes as far as cushioning, they are perfect if you work in a hospital or are on your feet all day. My back doesn't hurt after work any more from wearing Danskos. As far as the tongue goes it could be better as it seems a little short but I have gotten used to it and these shoes are very comfortable, like walking on pillows.

My running tracker shows these shoes only last 97 miles before the tread started wearing out on the outer heel. Once it started to deteriate, it was not log before it started to come apart. I average 35 miles a month. Not a good investment no matter how comfortable they are.

The shoes are very soft light weight. However i did not know they had 1 inch heel. I have wore them 2 times for about 2 hours each. Then i have to take them off my knees hurt and my feet are flat they have no arch on bottom so it is me not the shoe. Shoe has air feeling when walking and feels like i am walking on steels. They are a bit pricey in shoes.

These shoes have helped my heel pain immensely. I had reached the point where I was really struggling to even stand for more than an hour or so without so much heel pain I could cry. When I put these on, I could tell that they would be incredibly helpful. My only complaint is somehow I apparently ended up ordering a wide. I have worn many wide shoes in the past, but Hoka doesn't kid when they say wide. Also, I wear a 10 in most shoes and the 9.5 feels too big on me in length as well. I went through some pain on the fat pads on the sides of my heels while they conditioned to the shoes, but I'm finding it easier to deal with, and it definitely doesn't hurt as bad as my heels were. I would totally recommend these but would definitely suggest considering your need for a real wide shoe before ordering a wide. I would have exchanged them if I could have, but exchanged aren't possible when you use Afterpay.

I love these shoes there just to wide for my feet other that I would have gave them a 5 stars. I stand and walk back and forth at work. I thought I just a 10 regular but when I digit them they were 10 wide. Didn't want to hassle with exchanging them but I wish I had of.

These shoes make your feet look so much than they are. So expensive and not ver attractive.

Had to return for a larger size. Has taken 6 weeks for postal to return it. (not Hoka"s fault) Hope to get exchange this week. Hoping they fit

I don't know if the insole was changed or what. I was shown a pair of Hoka shoes with a thick, very cushioned I some with a plush but firm arch support. I was unable to find this show when I searched.

I didn't realize they were not the standard tie up shoe. Post hip replacement, it is difficult to maneuver the shoe to get it on my foot. Also, feels too narrow.
