Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 6

This is my second pair of Bondi Hokas. They are not as comfortable as the first ones. The fit is off. As is the support. So disappointed! Returning and replacing with who knows what.

I really, really wanted to be able to wear this shoe. It fit well, true to size, had a roomy toe box. It did not offer enough support for the pronation of my foot. I also have a knee problem and there was not enough cushion in the shoe to help my knee. They are a bit clunky looking but I would have kept them if they helped me walk better. I wore them around my house for several weeks and they just didn't work. I had to return them. I appreciate Zappo's return policy but always feel bad when I have to return the shoes.

These shoes are so light in weight, comfortable, and would be perfect if my plantar fasciitis wasn't as bad as it is. They just dont have enough support.

Not a bad shoe but not for me. I have completely flat (anatomically) feet and these are too uncomfortable for my feet. The slight arch support hurts my feet and causes blistering. Even the 4mm drop is too much for my flat feet. I took these for 3 or 4 short (3 mi runs) and one 5mi+ run and definitely not something I want to take to my next Half Marathon, let alone a Full.

I bought this shoe because it was recommended for arch support, to combat plantar fasciitis but was very disappointed. I have run in other shoes, based on the same recommendation, and ran almost pain free. I was sore all day long, very sore, after running in these shoes. I do not recommend them, they are average (at best) especially at the price point.

These all black shoes seemed true to size based on what I usually wear in Hoka One One. The insole is removable and there is room for my custom orthotics. They fit and looked nice when I looked down but the side view wasn't so good. Because the sole is all black (not two colors layered like the other color options) they look very very thick (like a "built up" shoe). They also made my feet hot which may just be me because my feet are sensitive. I'm going to try them in another color and see how it goes.

I was very disappointed having ordered 2 different sizes in length, both in D. I was expecting more relief for my supination issue. In fact there was none. Nice cushioned footbed however. Went back to Brooks, this time Ghost 12 which is known for supination support.

I love these shoes for my plantar fasciitis but the sole is already coming apart on the left shoe after less than 6 months and it’s not like there is a lot of wear and tear on them. I wear them as my everyday shoe. It’s frustrating to have this happen so quickly. I’ve had this happen with other Hoka One Ones.

These shoes may have been keepers if they were a size larger and a bit wider. I had to return them, because there were none available in a size I really needed.

Hoka, Hoka, Hoka, I tried so hard to like this shoe. The black on black is so orthopedic looking. I much prefer the men’s black with white style. And based on the fact that all men’s smallest sizes are sold out in that style, other women do too. I think they are ordering the men’s style instead. I have a pair of Cliftons presently and have enjoyed them. Originally I was advised to order half size down, which I did. The fit was good. So I’d decided to do that again. I’m normally a size 8 1/2 so I ordered the 8. If I would have liked the style I would have kept the shoe. I don’t mind a fitness shoe fitting a bit snug. The good news is that this shoe is uber comfy. I prefer this feel to the Cliftons. I’ll stick with you Hoka but not on this design. Rethink it. And maybe all the other color combos too.

Bondi 6. Comfortable on my feet right out of box. I liked the rocking thing going on. Wore around for a couple of days. I like the roomy toe box. They were fine around town, but when I did my daily 3 mile walk, they felt soooooo heavy, and made my calves really tired very fast. I tried these 4 days straight on my walk and each day, I could not finish walk without stopping and resting my legs. I found these shoes to be very heavy and did not work for me on my daily walk. I am 63 years old and I have plenty of feet issues, peripheral neuropathy, sore heels, sore balls of feet when walking and I'm still looking for my dream shoe. These may be okay for people without feet issues like me and perhaps younger people with healthier legs than mine, but they did not work all that great for me. I will keep them to run around in and do short walks and errands but wont wear them on my longer daily walks due to the heaviness of the shoe, so it is back to the drawing board for me.

These shoes were great for the first a couple days and then they started rubbing my big toe to where I now have permanent red spots (haven’t worn these shoes for several weeks and it hasn’t gone away). Great cushioning and arch support. I’m afraid to try the wide as I’ve never been a wide before and think they’d be too big as they already feel a little clunky. They are super ugly but I was willing to ignore that for comfort.

After reading reviews that stated these shoes were good for people with heel pain, I decided to try them. Unfortunately, they did not feel good on my feet so I returned them.

I really wanted to love this. I love the added height and It was comfortable initially. But after wearing it for about half hour, some of my toes got numb so I had to return it.

The Women’s Bondi 6 shoes are comfortable shoes, but the pair I got “didn’t” seem to meet quality control. One, the shoes are roomy for being a medium width. The pair is a bit too roomy for me, because my feet are not fat or wide, nor too skinny for a narrow width in shoes. Two, the left shoe is about ½ inch too long compared to the right. Also, the left is roomier from heel to toe than the right (yes I tighten the shoestrings evenly). Furthermore, the cushion toe-box on the left feels like it sits lower than the right shoe, which makes the shoes have two different feels from left to right. In addition, the shoe strings are extra-long for women shoes, which isn’t a deal breaker, but it like the manufacture put on men’ shoes-strings who have bigger feet. However on the shoestrings, it the rest of the problems I have with these shoes that make me lean to returning them. Therefore, the Bondi 6 will be returned. Might try again with the same shoe or try to pick another Hoka One One althletic pair. Only one problem trying another pair of Hoka is women’s 8.5 seem to be sold out.

I did not try this shoe on; however, I have worn HOKA One One Bondi 6 in the past and I love the extra cushioning. I am returning these shoes because the style is not as expected. The shoes are NOT Black on Black. The stripes are gray which changes the appearance from business casual to a runner shoe.
