Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 6

Bondi 6 is a little stiffer and less "cushy" as the Bondi 5. The tongue is shorter and rubs on front of ankle. The color is great and looks good but overall, I prefer the Bondi 5.

This is my second pair of HOKAs. I loved my Clifton 3s. This pair does not seem to have as cushy a bed as the Clifton. The tongue does not stay in place. The only thing I like better is the arch. I will keep these but they aren'w wowing me like I'd counted on.

I had to return as it was too narrow. Waiting for exchange to arrive.

I loved the Bondi 5.. the Bondi 6 is not the same. Toe box seems more narrow. The shoe is definitely not as cushioned .. I feel it bends more at the toes .. unfortunately all the qualities I loved and needed in the Bondi 5..

I bought strictly for running. Purchased because of the comfort comments by others, very untrue. Way to firm for running, not cushioned like it posts.

My use is for work mostly 8 hr shifts sometimes 16 hr. shifts and everyday wear. I really love the Hoka One,Bondi 5 shoes. I have the worst feet ever and had surgery on one. I went thru so many pairs of shoes and $$$$ until I found Bondi 5. I feel like in a way they saved my life. Now, you discontinued the 5 and came out with the Bondi 6, I was so sad but still couldn't wait to try them. I received the Bondi 6 and remain crushed. I have given the 6 a try over and over again. They are just not there, if ya know what I mean. They have too much cushion. The 6 is cushy for the bottom of my feet but they are too bouncy, I have noticed when I wear them they make me walk differently, feel a bit unbalanced sometimes and I can feel aching in my knees. At times, they just downright make my legs fatigued just from walking. Believe me I do have to walk alot. My best description of them is, it is like wearing two little trampolines on my feet. they are good for an 8 hr. shift but need to get them off asap afterwards and let your feet recoup and don't wear them 2 days in a row. I feel that if you want a super fantastic shoe take away some of the bounciness in the bondi 6 The perfect shoe would be somewhere between the bondi 5 and the bondi 6. Bondi 5 add a bit more cushion Bondi 6 definitely remove some of the cushion bounciness. Please PLEASE don't discontinue the Bondi 5 unless you can come out with a shoe with cushion between the two (5 and 6). I have had the 6 for almost a month and will continue to wear them once or twice a week to see if they can break in and improve on my walking and standing.

I was looking for a shoe that has major cushioning for my feet; this style has that, but it lacks cushioning in the tongue and ankle support. It also has a tighter toe box than I expected. Because of these issues, I returned them for a refund. I'm going back to my Brooks GTS.

I have 2 pairs of the Bondi 5 and love them. I finally needed a new pair and got the Bondi 6. I wore it around my house for a day or two and hated them. They are so much more narrow than the Bondi 5. Luckily I did find a store in my area that still had a few of the 5 and got those. I really need the cushion of your shoes, please, please go back to the Bondi 5!

They are cushioned well. The tongue of the shoe has to be adjusted just right so it does not dig into my foot. Sometime both sides, sometimes one side. The tongue has soften up or molded more to my foot so not feeling now for the most part, mostly when I first put them on. I was going to send back but gave it more time. So far not my favorite running shoes that I ever had. But time will tell.

I have worn the Bondi 4 and Bondi 5. I love the Bondi 5, this new Bondi 6 is more narrow , more like the 4 , and not as comfortable. I also don't like the colors, I really liked the midnight blue to wear everyday , it was a more neutral color to go with everything . Bring back the 5!

I really wanted to love them because I have really thin feet and I wanted something plush. I'm fairly new to the brand and my first purchase was Gaviotas. I think that the cushioning is a dream but I just felt like my narrow feet didn't have enough room. I felt like the fit across the top of my feet was too snug. It's pretty hot out right now and that little bit more room that the Gaviota gives me is what I wish was present in the shoe. The width felt just a touch narrower as well and when I added it all up, I decided to stick with Gaviota for now. I'm going to try a hiking shoe next. I'm so happy I found Hoka, I'm able to be active again. I'll revisit later in the year when it's colder out . Man, it was like walking on clouds.

I am flat footed with arch on top of foot not under. These shoes have 1 inch heel so when i have woren them it hurts my left foot and my knees. Within 2 hours i am taking them off. I believe if my foot had proper arch these would be great. It makes you feel like your walking on clouds so soft insoles with good support. Just did not work for me.

Had heard hold the best ever but hurt my feet. Right shoe Causes me to feel bone pressure and I asked for extra inset to make them more comfortable but was rejected. Shoes supposed to feel plush but I feel my bones when I walk. Told them when I ordered I wanted most cushion so I don't feel my bone Spurs when I walk.
