Love the Bondi for my ailing feet but they are so noisy. They squeak with every step and are distracting to me and everyone I live and work with. My coworker has the same problem with her Bondi 6.

I have been wearing HOKA for 3 years now. I am on my 4th pair. The last few times i have purchased i have had a more difficult time getting the sizing correct yet my shoe size has not changed. It seems as though the high quality is starting to change ever so slightly. I also noticed the structure seems to be changing, not as durable, returned one pair after only a few months because the tread was actually pealing off the bottom. I am wearing BONDI 6 now, 2nd pair, unfortunately the cushion that originally got me hooked on this shoe also seems to be a bit less. Something has changed but so far they are still the better choice. I just hope they do not change too too much more in the coming year as its still a very good shoe.

I was referred to Fleet Feet by my podiatrist, and I explained to the salesman at the store that I had feet that were hard to fit due to 3 toes on each foot affected by severe bunions. When I tried the shoes on at the store (Fleet Feet of Springfield, MO), I was impressed that my feet felt so comfortable. After wearing the shoes for about 20 minutes, I thought I'd found a hidden treasure. When I learned that I could order online and use my PayPal credit card to pay for the shoes, I was delighted. I found them online, ordered them and received them earlier than I was led to expect. I wore them inside my home for approximately an hour, when the pain I usually feel from shoes reared its ugly head. I returned the shoes to Fleet Feet, as I'd been unable to print a return label from your website. I'm still waiting for notification that the return has been received by Hoka, and that a refund has been issued to my PayPal account. I'm certain these shoes are great for most people, and I highly recommend the staff at Fleet Feet, esp. Keeton, but the shoes didn't work for me beyond the initial try-on. My next step will be to obtain orthotics, as my podiatrist didn't recommend surgery for my problem.

This is my 4th pair of Bondi shoes, and this is the first time I am not thoroughly delighted. The shoes are not as comfortable or cushiony as they have always been in the past. With my other 3 pairs I thought I was walking on a cloud. Not so this time. Since I am on my feet for 12 hour shifts, I am very disappointed. I will most likely return them. Did you change the way you make them?

Long time NB customer looking for a new home for my 5D feet. This is first Hoka brand/style I've tried. Because of the technical design of their shoes, I expected the feel of the foot placement to be different. But I didn't expect the mesh at the top of toe area on one shoe to have a "dimple" in it (once on my foot). I returned the shoes. In fairness, my toes are shorter on that foot. I concluded I need to either get leather shoes or a design where there is some type of solid material (not mesh) at the tips of the toes. I believe a past season Saucony Omni might meet the criteria.

I loved it but unforntunately I received one shoe size 6 and the other size 5. I contacted customer service and they were super helpful and replaced my shoes! Even though one foot felt like it was being squished very hard, A+ superior comfort and super stylish :)

I have had 1 knee replacement and my other knee is ready to be replaced due to arthritis. I also have arthritis in my feet and Plantar fasciitis. I was really hoping these shoes would provide the comfort I need so I could get out there and walk again. I used them a few times in the house walking around. I noticed with each step, my non-replaced knee would ache, but I continued walking a few house laps to try to get used to them. After each period of doing this, my knees and feet just ached terribly. The shoes are comfortable to wear, and the quality was great, but sadly these were just not the shoes for me.

Unfortunately I couldn't get my ortho inserts to fit inside this shoe. I ended up getting the same style but in men's which allowed for a little extra length.

I’m a daily runner and wanted to love these. Super cushioned, but TOO cushioned to run in because I felt unstable and it put me out of alignment. Both my knees and feet started hurting on every run. I tried them for 2 weeks with multiple runs thinking I’d get used to the negative heel drop. Back to Brooks. I think these are better for walking. Not running. Pros: Super cushioned, cloud like, true too fit, neutral shoe, no arch support, coral blue is super pretty, but didn’t work for me. Lastly, what’s up with Zappos shipping, used to be 24-48hrs, now it’s 1-2 weeks

I ordered these on the strong recommendation of a friend and after a week, my feet hurt within an hour of putting them on. I am very disappointed as I am a nurse and on my feet for 10 hour shifts.

I really wanted to love these shoes, but could not. I have flat feet and I purchased this brand model based on reviews (online & friends) and the recommendation on Hoka One's website. Initially I purchased the standard fit 7.5 (my size in every other shoe) and when those didn't work ordered the 7.5 "wide", but the "wide" version fit tighter than the standard fit and they seemed about half size too big. The quality of the shoe looks to be good (replacing my go to New Balance 860s because the quality of NB has deteriorated significantly), but the fit just isn't right for me.

Purchased Bondi 6 after wearing the Clifton for about 5 months. The last on Clifton was very narrow as M so I ordered Wide in the Biondi. Too wide and a bit sloppy. I am not a runner I am using these to relieve heel issue

Long time Hoka customer. Endurance athlete for fifteen years and my knees need the soft, light, cushion of a Hoka. The soles are the right height, but they are stiff and have very little give. My feet literally hurt after my run. Please, bring back and keep the Bondi B in stock. That's are a poor substitute.

The shoe felt more narrow than my other pair. It also did not feel as cushioned in the heel and for some reason the back of the shoe felt lower to where it was pulling my sock down.

These are very well made shoes and fit is good. I really like the extra cushion. The arch is not as supportive as i had hoped. But then again i have high arches and havent found anything yet to help my plantar fasciitis .

Felt like I would fall off! They are so high, with curved heel, which felt unstable. I am a senior, so, not good.

I'm not impressed. I can only wear them a couple hours a day and have to take them. I did walk 30 minutes on the bike trail without any problem. I'm giving them a few more trials before I make a decision to return them. Love the colors (blue/grey). They just not be the shoe for me.

The shoes were true to what was advertised. I have a terrible heel problem (not any of the usual suspects) and it does help. I do wish these came in a Narrow width.

Got these as I thought they would help my foot pain. Not as comfortable as I expected. Not much arch support. The tongue of one show digs into the top of my foot. Bought my regular size 9.5 vs 10 that I usually get in sneakers and the 9.5 fit fine.

Unfortunately I did not find them super "cushy or plush". I would have return them but it's too much hassle for me. I would not purchase this brand again.

I wanted to love these, they felt comfortable but as I have tried walking in them my knees and hips are experiencing a lot of pain. I think it was me not the shoes. Sadly I had to return.
