Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 6

I am an RN and on my feet for long hours. Along with being overweight, plantar fasciitis and a broken back these shoes give me the best support EVER!!! Will be sticking with this brand!!

Some colleagues recommended these shoes and I am very happy with the purchase so far. I ordered a wide shoe a half-size up so I could add my own insoles and was able to do so on top of the insoles already in the shoe. The original insoles have a moderate arch support with moderate cushion and with my insert was able to get the arch support and comfort needed. That being said I was able to work a straight 12 hours in the shoes with no discomfort. They felt very springy and I had no back pain after 2 12s in a row. I then switched back to my old shoes for the third shift and realized how much discomfort was caused by my old shoes. Now I’m just waiting to see how long it talks me to wear these puppies out to truly be able to evaluate their worth.

Love these. I am an RN who wears Xray lead all day. I have plantar fasciitis, too. Bought these shoes after many coworkers raved about them. I have been using all of the recommended ASICS and aftermarket insoles. They helped. I stalled trying the Hoka’s as I didn’t want to spend the money on a gamble. Well- they are AWESOME! Light, supportive, cushioned, and provide pain relief from Sore heel (mixed with lots of stretching throughout day). Should never have waited. I plan to use these for work and travel (lots of walking in our travels).

The fit of these shoes are great, I typically wear a 9, but always buy my sport shoes a whole size bigger to allow for foot spread, accommodate my insoles, and to give me plenty of room in the toe box. I have plantar fasciitis and neuromas and these are super comfortable and I feel like I’m walking on clouds.

First impression: excellent! I need a shoe to walk in with cushion and stability. I have nerve problems and off and on PF. Because I cannot afford to roll out (supinate) due to nerve pain, it’s hard to find a shoe to support without that push to the outside effect. I’m sure some of you understand this. I’m also impressed with the rigidity of the shoe WITH the cushion. I had no idea I was flexing my toes too much in a neutral shoe. My foot just feels supported and secure. I need a wide so those pinkies aren’t squished. And definitely not too much.if any, pronation correction. I wear a 71/2 w in brooks shoes and new balance. Feels like the 71/2 in the bondi 6 is a bit longer. But no real problem for those who have regular toes. Mine are short. I tried bondi 5 THREE times, sending them back each time! Sorry Zappos. There is just something different about the fit on the 6. The mid section is longer, keeping those toes from flexing. Try them. I will update this if I run into problems. If I don’t will be ordering another color too. Cuz you know the next iteration will be different!!

I wore these to work yesterday. I’m a nurse. It was a 13 hr shift. The shoes were nice and spongy and felt good originally. As the day wore on they were still spongy but my feet hurt a bit. I’m sure it’s because it was my first time wearing them and it was a very long shift. So we will see. I’m confident they will work for me. I hope so!!

Probably the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn

I needed a shoe that does not bend easily as I walk, with plenty of cushion at the ball of foot. I am recovering from a sesamoid fracture. I do not feel any pain on the ball of my foot as I walk casually. The sole does allow some bend if I apply all my weight, but not excessively. I love the way they feel. I tried the Clifton 5 for comparison, but this Bondi style has a sole that's more noticeably rigid/stiff than the Clifton. It is a little bulkier than the Clifton, but I need the rigid sole and cushion as I baby this injury. I just wish the Bondi came in more colors!

The shoes fit well, almost returned them because I was expecting more cushion. I wanted to feel more softness on the soles. I do feel that they envelope my whole feet well so I'm keeping them to see how they will do in the long run. Perhaps they will feel better to me after the break in period.

I wear between a nine and a 9 1/2 normally in my exercise shoes I always purchase in a 9 1/2 So the 9 1/2 it well and nine would not have been comfortable to exercise in. The reason I did not give the sneakers five stars overall or five stars and comfort is because the toebox is not really wide, contrary to what the review say. I would say the toebox is fairly well rounded and not pointy but certainly not wise and roomy

With all that cushion, I just knew these would be great. Alas, they gave me no arch support and made the balls of my feet hurt. They also felt a bit clumsy and made my feet hot. Returning them to give the Arahis a try. Arthritic feet are so hard to make comfortable!

Super tight fitting. Ive never worn a wide and have narrow feet so this shoe should not feel this tight.

These sneakers are incredibly comfortable. Great support for light trail running. Prevent foot fatigue. They are roomy at the toe area. I ordered half size down and in retrospect, I could have ordered one full size down. The sole is thick but after a while it stops looking so prominent. Very happy with my purchase!

Absolutely love these shoes! Have had Hokas for years, and this new pair does not disappoint! Super comfortable from the minute I put them on. I highly recommend them!

I returned the first pair of the Hoka One One Bondi 6 that I purchased due to the side of the shoe hitting my ankle bone. Thank goodness for the 30-day Runlimited Guarantee! The second pair I purchased was perfect. Also noticed: the Bondi 6 soles wear out much faster than the Bondi 5. Also, the Bondi 6 sole has more forefoot flexibility than the Bondi 5. Both shoes are very comfortable with lots of cushioning, but I prefer the stiffer sole and longevity of the Bondi 5.

This is my second pair of Hoka Bondi 6s. I was hooked after my first pair. They are like walking on a cloud! I am in healthcare, so I’m on my feet all day & these are perfect since my feet never hurt or are tired at the end of the day.

Love this shoe! I have high arches, plantars fasciitis and a wide toe box. These fit awesome and are super cushiony. I did use a Vionic insert for a little more support.

I have a nerve condition which makes finding comfortable shoes very difficult for me. Hoka Bondi is the only shoe I wear now. The cushion in the sole of this shoe is so plush that I can wear them all day without extra pain in my feet. They just released the Bondi 7, so the 6 was on sale which was great for me!

I'm a registered nurse and nursing instructor. I can easily put over 7 miles on my feet during one shift in a small ICU. I also log a bunch of miles running my student nurses through the hospitals. I am also over 50. About 5 years ago I complained of foot & knee pain and lower back pain following a long shift. A (young) friend who runs ultra marathons suggested that I try a Hoka Bondi. (If she could run 50 miles in these, surely I could do a shift, right?) The Hoka One One Bondi has been a game changer. Prior to these shoes I had never spent over $100 for tennis shoes. I was reluctant, but these shoes eliminate that end-of-the-day foot and lower back pain! These started as "work shoes" only, I soon realized that comfort was worth paying for and now buy them for casual wear and work wear. I have tried Hoka Cliftons which are also great, but will always, always buy a Bondi. I was thankful when they came out in solid colors which are acceptable on the dress code with scrubs.

Fit is great for the size I chose.

I recently had to have my foot and ankle fused meaning no articulating up and down movement. Hoka was recommended by my surgeon and a friend who had undergone the same procedure. I was pleased with the fit and the relief that I am getting from my Hoka shoes. I bought two pair.

The Hoka One One Blondi 6 has In an exceptionally wide toe box. I am sending back to try a 8 1/2 W. In a Brooks tennis shoe I wear a 9 wide. Ordering on line is frustrating but thank you Zappo for the free returns. I hope this one fits.

This shoe is excellent. Wide toe box is excellent. If you like your toes to be comfortable, if you have wide feet, definitely get the Wide width. The arch support is better than anything I've ever worn. Even though I have a high arch, you don't realize how your arch falls over time so when you put this shoe on and feel the arch support as you go walking you think Wow, that feels really good. I'm dealing with a torn meniscus in my knee right now and trying to get it healed naturally without having to have knee surgery and These Shoes Are Part of that Natural Healing. Gotta have good supportive foot cushioning in your shoes. Try these out. You'll probably love them. Aloha.

The fit and size were just right. Plenty of room in the toe box. The shoes are designed to correct pronation (ankles rotating inward) and that's a plus. I have a narrow foot and not much heft to my feet so the arch for me was lacking - but then so are most shoes in my case. I added an arch support and that did the trick. I have chronic plantar faciitis and these shoes offer solid relief from that discomfort.
