Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 6

I wear Hoka's and love the comfort even though they are probably the ugliest running shoes I have ever owned. However I found the comfort and protection for my feet were worth the looks. I bought my 24 year daughter her first pair and she was disappointed that they were too big. She decided to keep them, thinking thicker socks would fix the problem. Sad to say it did not and now we can not return them ($162 later). I have several other Hoka styles and they were true to size but these Bondi 6 were not. Be aware.

I really wanted to like these - when I first put them on and started running, it felt like they were propelling me forward. But I wore them several times on varying length runs, and each time they made my feet go numb (even after I loosened the laces). It also doesn't feel like I have much arch support, and I've noticed that my knees are hurting afterward. I'm sure they'd be great for some people, but not for me.

This shoe was attractive and cushy under the ball of my foot. It has a rocker type sole which was a little distracting but I could probably adapt. However, it was too wide in the forefoot for my standard, medium foot so my foot slid side-to-side. I could actually see the movement of my foot inside while looking down on the shoe. The back of the shoe was narrow enough that my narrow heel did not slip. This might be a good model for a wider forefoot and a narrow to average heel. It is being returned.

I really wanted to love these shoes, but just am not happy with them. I normally wear 8.5 wide or 9. Ordered 9 wide and they were enormous. Sent them back and got 9 regular width....still too wide. very sloppy fit. I walk 3 miles per night on pavement, and by time I get home my toes almost feel tingly like getting numb. Maybe to much rocker action in toe bed...no clue. Love the way they look....just not happy with how they feel.

Ok. The problem was the look. These shoes are truly ugly - like giant black hooves. That said, I love Hoka One Ones and they have a lot of cool, good looking styles. Maybe the black with black soles was the problem.

I was very disappointed. I researched these and they were supposed to be great for plantar fasciitis. I went for one 1/2 mile walk and my feet were aching. I returned them right away.

I've been a fan of the Hoka One One Bondi shoes for years. However, the "6" has a huge flaw. Hardly worn and both colors (black and indigo) are so flimsy in the toe area. Both pairs have holes--and it's nothing related to wear or user fault. Earlier Bondi styles were much more durable, and at these prices, I'm really disappointed in the brand.

Why is Processing taking SO LONG!

Uggghhh! This is my fifth pair of Bondi's and these feel super cheap and poorly made! Please beware. I've bought a new pair of Bondi's every ~9months for the past four-ish years, and each pair (models changed slightly over the years) were solid and made me happy to run in. With this pair of Bondi 6's (bought April 2020), the footbed feels like it was improperly sewn onto the sole of the shoe, and the toebox on the left shoe feels crooked such that it is causing me to pronate when I've never had that problem before. Just to check that this was the shoe (and not my foot), I tried a similar pair of Bondi 6's from a local shoe store. It didn't have the same 'crooked' toebox. Ugh! I wish I would recommend these since they've been solid for years, but I'm super unhappy and can't even run in them. Disappointed for sure and $145 poorer!

Fit great. Plenty of room for toes. Soles were incredibly thick and cushioned. Arch support was enough for my flat feet -not too high. Probably the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever had, though definitely not the best looking. After a year of moderate wear, the treads came off both of the shoes. Hoka customer service was not very helpful. Very cold in fact. I loved my shoes, did not like the customer service. Lost interest in this brand, seems to me that they don't care about making quality that lasts.

I really wished this sneaker worked out for me. It was so cushiony, but the "wide" width is too narrow. The company needs to make this shoe in an Xwide as well

I have wide metatarsal and the laces don't open close enough to the toes to avoid pressing on little toe and bunions. I need a boxier toe

This shoe had many recommendations for its great cushioning, which I need. However, the shoe did not feel like it had much cushioning at all. The body of it seemed quite large, making the overall shoe look really big. My previous shoe was Asics Gel Kayano 22, but the Gel Kayano line no longer has the same amount of cushioning. Wish the companies would leave a good shoe alone! Back to the drawing board for me.

Disappointed in these shoes! I returned them right away! There are better Hoka shoes out there if you are looking for a plush cushion. Buy at your own risk.

Have loved the Bondi for years--

The best shoe! Like walking on a cloud! Great support.

I cannot ever go without these for my exercise activities. Tried them 4 yrs ago & never looked back. They are like walking on clouds & my feet never hurt. Since I have had bunioneictomies & have some issues, this is a heavy lift!

I use these for walking. Of all the brands I have tried over the years, this one is the most gentle on my feet. I am in my late 60's now, and a little overweight.

These sneakers are just absolutely incredible. I have had them for over a year now and still feel good when I wear them. Trying to find a similar Hoka sneaker to replace these with.

loved these shoes, bring em back please, it is time for a new pair
