These shoes fit perfectly.. at first. after wearing them for a while they are extremely stretched out. i ordered the smallest size possible and somehow they are still too big.

I love the cushion on this shoe but i had to return because the toe box is too tight on my foot. i have a high instep with a wide toe box. This brand doesn't fit my foot even with a wide width ordered. it's a shame, i wanted to love them, because it's hard to find a shoe with this much cushion.

Zappos recommended a size for me.....like a fool I thought Ok and got that size. Tried them on and thought they were OK. Took them out for a walk and they are too big. My mistake........one I won't make again.

I've written two emails with no response. Men's Bondi's were way lower pricedthan the women's and they had free shipping. Requested free shipping and a better sale price, but no response. Also, maybe due to COVID there are little color choices in W. Would love yellow. Have enough shoes for now. Thanks for the quality of the Bondi. No other styles are good for me.

Shoe was bulky, stiff, hot, and I felt, more narrow than the Bondi 5. The shoe strings were also poor quality. I love my other Hoka styles, but for some reason, this one just isn't for me. I ordered them because they were black and on sale.

Bondi6 Size 7 Wide is too narrow for me. I think Size 7 is good length for me, but it is just too tight. I ordered Bondi6 Size 7.5 Wide. This one is a bit too long but just right width. Please make Extra Wide size. I cannot get the perfect fit. Other than that, I love how the shoes feel.

These shoes were great for my feet, which suffer from recurring tendonitis and a bit of arthritis. Unfortunately, the very thick rocker sole destabilized my gait and caused pain in one of my knees--felt as though a tendon had been dislocated. Returned.

I really like the look of these shoes. My feet are super picky though. These were a little too narrow for me. Very cushy.

The shoe fits well, but I need to get use to how I walk in it. It feels so spongy that I feel like I am walking on my heels. After the first day my toes were cramping really bad. I am a nurse and put in well over 12 hours a day on my feet and they always hurt, Hoka i believe is helping my back pain and foot pain I just need more time to get used to them.

These shoes had a comfortable midsole but I did not like the feeling of walking on marshmallows. I guess I would like a more stable ride. Also, the toe box was not wide enough as I suffer from bunions.

These shoes aren’t the best in style for me. They are bulky. Looking at the picture, they didn’t seem as bulky as they looked in person. I’m not a fan of bulky shoes. The comfort is there, they just aren’t my style. Also for an FYI, they add like 2-3 inches on your height. So, me being 5’10, I didn’t like them for that reason also.

I usually wear a 9.5 in running sneakers and a 9 in dress shoes and other types of footwear. I had purchased a 9 from another online shoe store because Zappos did not have them in my size or requested color at the time. Although reviews said these ran 1/2 big they were too snug on my feet so I ended up ordering My regular size In sneakers (the 9.5 ) from Zappos. They fit well. I returned this pair as well because they just felt to clunky on me and the side of my Mid foot was aching a bit.

They are very comfortable but so wide. I don’t think I’d wear them anywhere but to walk in. They look very clunky. I do have a very narrow foot and I did look for the most cushy shoe. So this is what I got. I generally wear a size 7 1/2 but opted for an 8 as I do in these types of shoe. I probably could have worn the 7 1/2. So I guess true to size. My only complaint is they look so wide on my feet.

I am gong to have to return the shoes. I wear orthotics for flat feet. These shoes caused my arch to sit too low, therefore I had knee pain while wearing them. I like the style and the coloring, and was very hopeful they were going to work as well as my last HOKA pair.

I wear a 9.5 (medium or wide) in every brand of athletic shoes I’ve ever tried. I really need a cushioned shoe and Hoka has it but I can’t find a fit. 9 md is a little big and too narrow. 9 wide is too big and just huge across the top of my foot. I could try 8.5 but the width still wouldn’t be right. I wish I was one of the many people that love these shoes.

I wanted a running shoe that gave me confidence and comfort on the road. Zappos 30 day Runlimited Guarantee allowed me to run-test the Hoka One One Bondi 6. Thank-you, Zappos!. I found it very cushy and comfortable, however, not as stable around corners as I wanted. I ended up getting the Hoka One One Graviota 2, which has a "flanged out" sole that makes it quite stable. Also, the Bondi 6 "all purple" version I got, was not at all stylish!

I’m having trouble with this color way of bondi 6- May first pair fit ok but started to squeak while walking. Got a replacement pair- same size but fit was way too big. Trying again hoping third pair is the charm
Have lots of hoka s never had this problem with other styles or color ways of bondi 6

I got my Bondi 6 pair for marathon training and possibly as my race day shoes. When they arrived, I put them on and the cushion was DIVINE! I'd never let anything as comfortable in a shoe. I took them out for a few short runs (3-5 mi) with not much issues. But I took them for a 13 mi run and was pleased with the cushion on the high mileage BUT at the end of the run I had blisters on my toes so bad that I could barely walk the rest of the day and the next day. Since then, even on short runs the Bondis are giving me toe blisters. The sizing guide on the website suggested a size 8 (I normally wear 8.5 in regular shoes). I sized up to an 8.5 thinking I'd have more toe space. A size 8 would have KILLED my feet. I think sizing up to a 9 may only make it longer and not wider.
A lot of reviews said this shoe had a good wide toebox but I couldn't disagree more. I have never worn wide shoes in my life but the Bondis now feel like toe prisons. I don't know if a wide size would widen the tow box enough for it to not blister my toes up. I have since bought a size 9 Brooks and the toe box there is perfect and no blister issues. I wish I could have the Brooks wide toe box on the amazing Hoka footbed/cushion.
A wider toebox and this shoe would be perfect! Unfortunately, my Bondis are nearly unwearable now due to my toe issues caused by them. :(

These feel great, your foot kind of sinks down into the shoe and they look great. Out of the box I went for a 3 mile run and my feet felt good afterwards. However, when I wore them in subsequent long walks, the wide toe box allowed my toes to move around too much and I ended up with a blister on my big toe. Maybe it was a sizing issue, but I eventually had to return them due to the wide toe box. I'm back to wearing my old Tivras.

I just purchased my 3 pair of Bondi. My last purchase was the Bondi B re-release and I LOVED them. They had so much cushioning, support and toe room. This is my second purchase of Bondi 6 and will be my last. I even bought wide with and still uncomfortable with thick socks. Just not enough toe room When you make a popular product like the Bondi B that has sold out everywhere, why change it? Unless the Bondi B comes back, that's my last Hoka purchase.

I'm a server & got these for work thinking the were slip-resistant. They aren't even a little! Almost fell! Even standing still, I could feel my feet sliding to the side. They are comfy but for that kind of money, they need to be comfy and protect me from sliding and falling!
