My feet were killing me. I couldn't walk without plantar fasciitis pain. It was terrible. These shoes have been wonderful. My feet dont hurt. It's a miracle. I am so grateful I found these!!

I was recommended this shoe by my chiropractor who is also a runner. Found out I have been wearing one of the worst shoes you can wear for running for 20 years. Great. I was excited to get this shoe to see the difference. I'll be honest, I had not ever heard of Hoka One One. Wow! What a shoe. I just got it so have only run in it a few times so far, but they feel so good on my feet. It is so lightweight an the flat from front to back engineering allows me to much more easily adjust my stride to be mid-foot instead of heel to toe. The cushion is amazing and I absolutely love the difference I feel from the shoe I've always worn. I was worried about the look of the shoe as i had heard they weren't that attractive, but they worked well. But, I was pleasantly surprised with the look when i received them! I got the Lunar Rock/Nimbus Cloud color and think it's honestly a good looking shoe. For the record, I ordered my normal size and it fits perfect!! If you are a runner, buy this shoe!

I have been struggling with peroneal tendonitis and haven't been able to find a comfortable shoe - until now. Because I have a wide foot with a very high arch, I need something with width through the midfoot as well as the toe box, and the Bondi is absolutely perfect for me. It doesn't rub against my fifth metatarsal and allows me to walk very fast without pain for the first time in six months. Thank you, Hoka One One!

Was skeptical about buying these shoes, but they are worth it. They all but eliminated the pain in my forefeet on long walks, and the midfoot cushioning is wonderful for my high arches. They look a little clunky, but are very lightweight. I've been wearing them for about 2 months now.

I walk on a concrete jungle 10hours a day 4 days a week. I would have to soak my feet at the end of the day wearing my best shoes I had. Dansco. I have at least 6 pair. I was it total pain wearing them that long. My feet would swell and it made the pain worse. My new Hokas arrived and I put them on I could tell immediately they felt like a slipper. I was walking on a cloud all day at work. No foot bath at the end of the day. They are shoes. And I do have to wipe them down and keep them clean. They are perfect! My co workers Are buying them. Yay!!!!! Happy feet. Thank you Hoka!

These are the first pair of running shoes I have ever bought. With these shoes I will no longer have sore knees, sore back, bruised toe nails or sore feet. I LOVE them and I would definitely buy them again and recommend them to EVERYONE. They are perfect in size, width and arch support. Love them.

I wasn't expecting the toe box to feel so roomy. The shoes felt almost too wide until I put my old pair of Kuru shoes on and then I realized just what I had been missing all my life! I would not recommend a wide width of these shoes to someone with narrow or medium width feet, but the standard width is perfect!
It did take some getting used to the extra cush in the soles, but I love it and also love feeling like I'm an extra 1 1/2 inches taller now, even if only temporarily!

I love these. Between 3 jobs, I'm walking around 45 miles a week, and can be on my feet 13 hours a day... non-stop. My lower back and knees can get very irritated by all this and my body had begun to tell me "too much," and I had to change something. These are my new "go-to"'s, after I bought the first pair, I went right back a day later and bought another, and will be buying another pair (or 2) soon. I'm way less sore at the end of the day and my body overall feels better. I've had the Challengers, which were way better than what I'd been in previously, and then I have the Hoka hiking boots as well, and these are without a doubt, the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, and they're cute, too!

Update: So originally I wasn’t impressed. The first time I wore them my feet hurt so bad that I didn’t think I would be able to give them another go. However, given that I was into the Hoka experience for $160, I decided to give them another whirl. I started by wearing them around the house nonstop. At the end of the first day, my feet felt amazing. My knees weren’t hurting. My back wasn’t hurting. So I wore them for another day. Same thing. No foot pain, knee pain, etc. So I decided to brave another run in them. It was my longest run in years. No kidding... no pain whatsoever. I could’ve easily gone double the distance in absolute comfort. So glad I gave them another whirl. It was so worth it!

These shoes feel like you are walking on clouds! Just what I needed for my walks and jogging! They are not cute though...I went for comfort over style on these...for that, they get 5 stars!

After 3 years of trying to figure out why my right foot was aching—visits to podiatrists, physical therapists and even a masseuse—a knowledgeable PT from another state had me take a video of my stride so she could see how I moved. Right away she could see that I overreached as I walked and my heels were being pounded upon with every stride. The right foot got it worse because my right leg is longer than the left and takes more of my weight. She suggested the Hokas because their cushion would minimize the impact and let my foot heal as I learned to walk without the overreach. The Hokas are doing just that as I concentrate on walking with a shorter stride. The Hokas also have a nice wide toe box, one of the things I was looking for when choosing a new shoe. The PT also recommended the Hoka Recovery slide to give my foot the same cushion as I walk around on the hardwood floors in my house. I’m very happy with both.

This is a bulkier than normal shoe, but doesn’t feel unstable- despite the height. This are the most comfortable running/walking shoes I’ve ever owned. Really Really Comfortable! I have a lot of regular foot pain- cuboid syndrome in my right foot and chronic plantar fasciitis in my left. I don’t even use my orthotics in these, because they are perfect just the way they are. I’m hoping they feel just as comfortable in 6 months. I saw reviews about the this shoe which noted the “Hoka One One blister pattern” between the big and second toes. I do feel some pressure in this area, and I can imagine if I was running many miles this could be problematic. I run or walk about 3-5 miles a day and I haven’t experienced the blister, just a bit of pressure between the toes. The overall comfort of this shoe, far outweighs this.

Oh my goodness! If you have problem feet and you work in a industry that requires you to stand on concrete for hours(10+), then these are the shoes for you. They make look like Frankenstein footwear, but they feel like cushions have been strapped to your feet. They are worth the investment!

I started running at age 60 with Bondi 6 because it is the lightest and most plush shoe. I now run 5 mornings/week and it starts my day and has changed by life. I have entered only three races (short 5k) and placed in each one. I have tried a couple different Hokas but my go to is the Bondi 6. They get me going and keep me going! I have no need to try any other brand of shoe Besides most of the colors are fun. As long as I keep running, I can buy more shoes!

These are very comfy with lots of cushion. They seem to run truer to size than most running shoes. They look quite clunky, but I don’t really care about that for working out.

My legs and feet do not ache(as compared to similar prices shoes) after running in bondi 6-- for 3 mile runs, 4 times a week outside on concrete streets. As a result, I look forward to the runs even more and sometimes, I run more often.
