I have Mortons history, extra long 2nd metatarsal bone and capsulitis after pushing a car with dead battery to jump it- thank you, covid lockdown. A podiatrist on Youtube mentioned Hoka One One, so I bought a pair - expensive, but allowed me to walk after two months! When I finally saw a podiatrist, she was wearing them too! I had to include doctor recommended green arch inserts from Superfeet and metatarsal pads, but these shoes have prevented me from wearing a boot and allow me to walk after two months of terrible pain. I am not a huge fan of their appearance, but I'll wear these as long as they make them. I read multiple reviews to select size but I had to exchange for 1/2 size smaller. And if you think you have wide feet, get wide! Also - Zappos was amazing for the exchange and I used the texting option with their customer services reps. Zappos is bOmB-DiGgiTy, and I will absolutely buy from them again!

This shoes was so soft and supportive in the sole. It was too narrow for me. Zappos never fails with great service.

My mom and I are working towards walking 15 miles in under 3.5 hours (she can't run anymore after having both hips replaced). We've been New Balance fans for years as we both have a wider foot but kept hearing about Hoka One Ones and decided to give them a try. Thank you Zappos for letting us try on about three pairs a piece until we found the Bondi 6. These are a game changer! They were, by far, the most comfortable of the Hokas we tried (second runner up was the Arahi 4). They have incredible cushion and almost seem to propel you forward with each step. After doing an 11 mile walk our legs/feet (and my back) were much less fatigued than they had been on our last 10 miler in our New Balance. Great shoe, very well built, breath nicely, great traction on wet or dry asphalt/concrete, and like I said, very cushiony! I rated them "felt-true-to-size", I often get a running shoe about a half size larger than my normal size but on these, I did not need to do that. There is plenty of room in the toe box for my feet if they swell from exertion/heat and the little extra room did not make them feel too big. I got the 9.5 Medium (B), my mom the 9.5 Wide, the wide is just a hair longer besides being wider which worked perfectly for her as she didn't need to go up a half size either. We are now Hoka fans, despite having originally thought they just looked to bulky!

These shoes are the most comfortable running shoes I've ever worn. There is a good amount of support - I prefer a sturdy shoe with a lot of support. There is also a good amount of cushioning to absorb the shock of landing. I had no foot or leg soreness after running in these shoes. I can't remember the last time I was able to run without some soreness in my feet and legs. Very happy I tried them and will be getting a second pair!

I've been a runner for years and have worn every brand of running shoe. These shoes are by far the most comfortable I have ever worn! I'm wearing these shoes for walking and they feel like I'm walking on a cushion. My feet feel very happy when I'm wearing them. I don't think I will ever go back to ay other brand!

I was skeptical since my orthopedic doctor recommended them for a foot problem I have. The sole is very stiff which is what I need. Wore them for first time was impressed on how comfortable it made my foot feel . Did some light running in them and do far no pain ! Will keep using and how this shoe continues to help me foot !!

I order a half size larger for athletic shoes because in the winter I will wear thicker socks. I use them for walking but these are a true running shoe, so you definitely can run in these. They are so comfortable and they give me a spring in my step. I ha this brand before but the shoes were heavy and I didn't like to wear them casually. I wore them only when I went on my walks. But these new ones are fantastic. They're so lightweight can wear them all day long

These shoes have been life-changing. I have been dealing with horrible plantar fasciitis. My job requires me to be standing for 12+ hours so insufficient down time to heal. I have spent hundreds of dollars on shoes, insoles, wraps, braces etc. none of which consistently helped. Then I ordered the Hoka Bondi......love at first step. The heavy cushioning and rocker design immediately relieved the severe pain in my heel. I since have ordered the recovery slides to wear around the house. I am so happy to finally find something that helps and can't wait to take a run in these. I will order in every color. Seriously amazing!

I started wearing the Hoka One One for a painful Morton Neuroma on the bottom of my foot. With the help of these sneakers it has healed and I will forever wear this brand because of it!

I bought these shoes on the recommendation of a friend who works on his feet all day. He suggested these would help diminish the pain and cramping in my legs that came as a result of my going barefoot indoors for the duration of the pandemic. He was right. These shoes are very comfortable and in a week have helped relax my leg muscles. I have also used them to work out and they are not too cushy for that purpose.

This is my second pair of Hoka Bondi 6. The cushioning can't be beat and I like that Hoka now has a shoe that is more neutral in color. I'm still hoping they will add one with a black and white combo for winter. The all black looks like a tank!

I was having lower back pain when walking. Recent hip replacement patient. A friend recommended I try Hoka One One. I read reviews, and sounded like the Bondi 6 was the shoe I should try. And...I am so very happy I did. From day one, walking 2+miles on concrete, with no lower back pain, had me smiling.
I've now had these nearly 2 months, walk 2+miles every day, and no lower back pain. I wear a 'B' width normally, but some shoes feel too tight in the toe box area; not the Bondi6, they have enough room in the toe box area for comfort. I will be ordering another pair to have a switch off pair.

I’m very impressed with these shoes. I’m a nurse and I’m on my feet all day. I came back to work after maternity leave and it was a huge shock to my feet and legs. So I splurged for some betted shoes. These did the tick. So much more comfortable. Another nurse with knee issues also bought them and is very pleased as well.

I have 3 pairs of HOKA Bondi but only two fit perfectly. The nimbus cloud and the original blue with
pink laces. fit exactly the same...A lighter blue which I don't like is too narrow for a Wide and pinches
the top of my foot....so obviously these shoes were all made in different places.... I don't like to break in sneakers...I feel if I want a new pair I should be able to put them right on and say "Ahhh"...I love my new Nimbus Clouds....I did say "Ahh"....They're nice for summer.....not quite white but not really grey. And I love
how they look and feel...they're so comfortable and cushy., I don't feel they're tight anywhere...I'm a difficult fit in shoes...Once I find something I love, I keep buying pair after pair. I'm hoping the fit of these shoes never changes...My feet are happy!

These immediately alleviated my sciatica. I have a herniated disc and I was surprised how quickly the pain subsided when I started wearing these.

I love Bondi 6, been running with it for years. Can you please give us more jazzy colors? I'm tired of the dull colors options.

I am so ecstatic that I finally found a shoe for me. I have plantar fasciitis and perineal tendinitis and this shoe lets me walk, hike and run. I can stand up and take steps right away without thinking. I can get out of my car from a long car ride and move with ease. I haven't had any swelling in my feet. I can run without aches or pain again. You gave me my life back. I have been telling all my clients who the same foot issues I have to buy these shoes. I rave over them.

I really wanted to like this athletic shoe based on the great review. However, the style is so unappealing and shoe construction very cheap looking. The Bondi 6 were comfortable, but I wear a 9 1/2 Wide and they looked like canoes on my feet. Size 10 Wide Asics look great on my feet, so I don't get it. But the style of the shoes is just plain ugly and at 150.00 a pop, they have to look as good as they feel!

I walk 5 miles everyday but have recently been experiencing heel spurs which is painful. I also broke my foot a few months ago so I have been looking for the most cushion support possible. I have tried several shoes but nothing compares to the comfort and support of the HOKA Bondi 6. I am so grateful I gave them a try.
