I had been toying with trying Hoka for years now, but was not ready yet. I had really been enjoying the "minimalist" shoes. But lately after developing issues with hip and knees (maybe from pounding the trails/pavement with so little protection?), and with a hearty recommendation from a family member whose kids have won national titles in track, I broke down and ordered these lovelies in that gorgeous turquoise color. I have to say, they live up to the hype. Cushiony, yet rolling and smooth with a nice bouncy feel, but super light, unlike other cushioned shoes I've tried. Most cushion shoes have proven super bulky and heavy and let's face it....dorky looking, but not these. Roomy forefoot, IMO. I have bunions, so I need extra room and these Bondis have it, yet the heel is cozy and well-formed. I normally wear a 9.5 in Saucony's and that seems to work well for these Bondis too. I also ordered a pair of Torrent 2s for the trail, but I've not taken them out yet (this weekend for sure!) The Bondis aren't cheap, but they seem worth the money so far. Bonus for the Bondis? They make me about 1.5 inches taller. Yay!

I gave these a try after wearing out the Clifton 4 & 5. I don’t notice a difference in fit, and I haven’t had to break in any of these shoes. I can’t tell if they’re actually more cushioned, or if my last pair was just that worn out, but I’m happy with it.

These are hands down the comfiest sneakers I’ve ever worn! The support is excellent, and it felt like I was walking on a cloud but in a way that also felt stable if that makes sense. And I’m a larger woman, so for a shoe to feel so comfortable is not common.
I’ll have to adjust the laces to get them to fit perfectly on my feet, but for the short walk I did to test them out they were divine!

I bought the Hoka Bondi 6 to replace my ATR 5s. I ordered almost every style of Hoka to try them on. (Gotta love Zappos for that!) The sizes varied for me. The 6 in this model fit me, though I usually wear a 6 1/2. The style is high and cushy. They feel pretty stable considering that. I preferred the Clifton 6, which isn’t as cushy, but the colors available in my size, also 6, didn’t work for me. Unlike so many drab or kooky colored trail shoes, these are sophisticated, feminine and attractive. I hope they are as good as my ATRs on the trails.

This is my second pair of Bondi’s. I bought the Arctic/Grape Juice color last year and I just received my new pair of Dusty Rose/Lantana. As usual, the soles are super cushion-y and the toe box seems to be wider than most other running shoes which I appreciate. I use these for walking as my running days are over and I can’t imagine wearing anything else.
I'd also recommend:
Although not running shoes I recommend Birkenstock’s and Uggs.

Perfect fit so comfortable. I have purchased 4 pairs of walking shoes in 4 months trying to find the perfect shoe. I have slight pronation which results in painful callous and corns. I walk several miles a day. These are the last shoes I will ever buy. In addition they look very stylish and they slip on and off like butter, no struggle.

Absolutely the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. I had no issue inserting my orthotics in these shoes. I seriously don’t think that I will ever wear another walk/run shoe again. Talk about walking on a cloud! Well done Hoka OneOne!!

Around two months ago I have undergone bunionectomy, which hasn't gone as expected and I ended up with permanent screws in my foot and a lot longer recovery period than expected. As I'm a very active person with a full of energy young standard poodle, i was looking to go walking/exercising as soon as i could. after speaking to my podiatrist, she recommended trying these shoes and i have to say they have been a lifesaver for me and my dog. i was worried about the look, as I didn't want my shoes to look special lol But after the podiatrist's advice and reading reviews, i can't believe i never heard of these shoes before. When i first put them on, i felt like i was walking on clouds. I even do my spin classes in these, which has been great. I think from now on, these will be my go to trainers. i may even get another pair just for home during covid.
as i have moved to usa from uk two years ago, i struggled to find the right size. Im a size 7 uk, but this does not translate easily to us size, as some usa trainers i have are sizes between 9.5 or 8. According to sizing on the website, i should buy 8.5, but when i compared to trainers i already have, the sizing came as 9.5. i have decided to go for medium and go for 9, which fits just perfect. i didn't go for wider fit.
very happy with my purchase.

Excellent shoes. I’m currently 30 weeks pregnant and still try to walk a good 3-5 miles daily. With the extra weight and swelling, I found that walking even a mile would make my feet super sore! It’s been about a month since I bought these and I can’t say enough about them! Super comfy, exceptional support, and zero chafing (even right out of the box). I’m also a healthcare provider and often have to be on my feet for several hours at a time. I’ll be buying a second pair just for the hospital. Highly recommend!

The Bondi 6 are the most cushioned shoes I have ever owned. My feet feel great in them. I have narrow high arched injury prone feet. Feel very cushioned even with my orthotics in them.

I have never worn this brand before, but decided to try it after seeing good reviews from a trusted magazine website. I absolutely love this. I walk everyday for 30 minutes and wanted a shoe that didn't squeeze my toes and gave me good arch support and these did the trick. I have only worn them one day, so we'll see how well they hold up. I usually wear a size 5.5 in athletic shoes, but downsized to a 5 since they looked a little more clunky then normal athletic shoes and I'm glad I did. I can still have room to wear thicker socks if need be. If you like to experiment with new brands of athletic shoes, this is a good brand to try.

I love these Hokas! I recently purchased the Clifton 5 outdoor voices edition from the Hoka website and after only three wears the sole was coming apart, so I returned them and decided to try the Bondis since the sole looked more substantial. Only time will tell! Went for my first walk in them tonight and they were great! Thanks zappos for your quick shipping!

I ordered two pair and when the box arrived, it was so light weight I thought it was maybe short a pair. They were both there, but Hokas are just shockingly light weight. The Hoka One Bondi 6 is my favorite. I got it for running/walking on concrete. Highly recommend.

Ordered 7s usually would wear a 7.5 but read reviews and most people said they run a little bigger, so I ordered them wide and fit perfectly. Wore them for 6 hrs and had the worst arch pain from the shoe rubbing them. I could just not take it anymore, they gave me the worst marks. I was disappointed because so many co-workers just rave about them. Think if my my arch wasn’t so high they would have been the perfect shoe for long hours on your feet.

I absolutely love these shoes but I'm a university student and I also work at my university and so I'm on my feet all the time. My Bondis are getting raged but they don't have any in colors I can wear to school I need them in all white or just something I can wear to work and school like all white I would even pay extra to customize them PLEASE MAKE MORE COLORS FOR WOMEN

Oh my!! I have been running with other sneakers with heel pain for months. Icing after. Finally took advice from running sites to try these. Wow! So comfortable. No pain, more spring to help my stride. Big toe box which helps as well. Not needing to ice anymore. They get a 4 on style only because color selection leaves a little to be desired and they are a little clunky looking, but apparently that’s in...

My second pair of Bondi’s, running a lil larger than my last pair. Just as comfortable, just as supportive, provides excellent shock absorption. Couldn’t ask for a better sneaker.
