Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 6

I used to love Hoka; actually I am wearing one to work; but personally I like max cushion however this shoes do not provide what I want in sole comfort ie more cushion feeling so I return; another thing is I felt the quality of Hoka is not like before with this price they should do better to be attractive

The shoe was very cushioned and would be ok, colors aren' that great, but not for me. I've had mortons neuromas and had 3 surgeries over the years. My feet hurt all the time by burning, stinging, tingling, just hard pain and uncomfortable walking and standing for long periods. I wore them for 30 minutes and my feet were on fire. I'm glad they help some people but I need cushion, arch support, heel support and whatever else would help me function without pain. I wish shoes for problem feet could be in categories and not have to guess at what shoe might work only to order and return. Thank you Zappos for your fast delivery with free shipping and returns. I couldn't afford to pay shipping and returns for as many as I order. Please, don't ever stop this policy and I recommended you to everyone.

I have the Bondi 6 in blue, and it fits perfectly. I bought this one, hoping for another color. So disappointed. It is wider, longer. Measured it against my current pair. Too much movement for my feet. Had to return.

Looking down, they appear awkwardly wide, not very attractive. If looks do not matter, then they are a good supportive shoe. They do run a little big.

The shoes squeaked so I had to send them back. Bummed.

These shoes have great cushionon the sole, but not enough stucture in the top to secure my foot.

These shoes were recommended by my podiatrist. The thick, contoured sole felt great at first. I have a very wide foot and high arch, and a recently sprouted bunion. Unfortunately, the tops of my feet are what hurt the most, and these shoes do not seem to have adequate padding or give to accommodate my tender high insteps. I wore the shoes for a walk and was in agony by the time I returned home. This was even using the creative lacing technique my podiatrist showed me. I would keep them and hope breaking them in and trying alternative insoles would help, but . . . these are expensive shoes. They should serve me. I don't think these are quite the right shoes for my odd problems. They are ugly, but I don't care about that. I'd wear anything that would allow me to maintain an active life without foot pain.

I have a plantar plate tear and the Hokas were recommended to me for their stiff, rocker sole. Unfortunately, these just really didn't work for me. They were too squishy and ultimately didn't support my feet in a way that was helping me heal, plus I got shin splints when I even tried to walk in them. I am sure they would work great for others but just aren't my jam.

I am in search of a shoe to replace my Brooks since I've developed Morton's Neuroma. I wear a size 11 in Nikes and Brooks but found this pair runs short. Also, I'm not sure about the rocker effect, though others with this condition who are runners swear by them. I am walker so they felt odd.

I need a shoe with good support. These sounded really comfy and they are BUT there is not enough support. I feel off balance because it's like walking on marshmallows. Also, my feet and one bad ankle ache if worn for 8 hours. Good for a walk around the block but not all day.

I wanted to like them but after 2 day my back hurt from day 1 my back hurt but I thought I just needed to get used to them. I tried a different size,no good .Worse 2nd day . Gave up had to send them back.

Unfortunately, these shoes did not work out for me. Although I could feel that bouncy return when I walked around my house, my arches, especially my left arch, started to ache after a few minutes. I wore them for one hour one day and the next day for three hours, but that ache did not go away and got worse. I also felt like they were too spongy and lacked support over all, probably why my arches hurt. I saw a lot of great reviews for these shoes and had high hopes for them. I think you really have to try them to see if they will work with your feet and gait. I suspect they are better for a runner since they are running shoes. I thought they would work for walking, but not for me. I could see how they would work for runners who have a stride where you land heavy on your heel and roll forward because they do propel you forward somewhat. There is certainly a wide and bouncy sole to land on. These are expensive shoes so I expected perfection. I was also willing to overlook how ugly they are if they worked for me. They are very clunky looking.
