Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 6

Fit is great. Tried the wide at first because some Hokas tend to be narrow, but ended up sending it back for regular, which fits perfect. Great support and love the color!

I have planters fasciitis and these shoes are amazing!

Trying to replace my Clifton 3’s that served me well and spoiled me rotten for the last three years. Unfortunately, the latest Clifton incarnation is a pared down shadow of its predecessor, and there’s not another pair of the 3’s to be had for love or money. The Bondi 6 seems to be the “lesser of all evils” at an affordable price point with the cushioning, roomy toe box and stable base that I require. My mistake was getting a half size too large, so I exchanged. Not a big fan of the knit fabric used for the uppers. I prefer the traditional mesh for ventilation and style. I don’t mean to sound like I hate these shoes — they seem comfortable enough and cushiony. But the shoes that I spent the last three years preaching about to my fellow gym rats, friends and anyone who’d listen, well, I guess they’re gone for good and I’ll just have to suck it up and try to fall in love with the Bondi 6. Oh, I bought the WIDE and they felt good to me, so I guess there was enough extra width to accommodate my wide foot without feeling cavernous. Oddly though, the heel cup felt very narrow. I could feel the sides of the insole rubbing on both sides of my foot. Hoping a replacement insole will provide a fix. Overall, I am of the opinion that Hoka OneOnes can do no wrong, but I wish they wouldn’t fix things that weren’t broken. Based purely on its own merit, the Bondi 6 is a great shoe. Buy with confidence. But if you love them, let them go. You may have a hard time adapting when your next pair is more than a year or two down the road.

I have purchased many different models of running shoes: Brooks, Asics, new balance, and finally discovered Hoka this year. Hoka Bondi 6 are the most comfortable running shoes I’ve ever worn. I am a second grade teacher so I am on my feet all day. I have to wear comfortable running shoes at work. I wear my Bondis at school all day and my back, knee, and feet problems have improved. Four years ago I got a hip replacement and the shoes have helped my hips a lot. I have flat feet, plantar fasciitis and bony thin feet. I usually wear a size 9 in other running shoes but because Hoka Bondi runs large, I wear an 8 1/2. I am not a runner, but sometimes I do jog around 2 1/2 miles three times a week. Not only are the shoes comfortable for every day wear at work, but for jogging, they are incredible. They do feel like I’m walking on marshmallows, so comfortable. The only thing that I caution buyers about are the inconsistent sizes in the same Bondi 6. I have purchased the black black, serenity palace blue, mood indigo dusty pink, and Arctic dusk grape juice. The serenity palace blue have a more padded tongue. Both the serenity palace blue and the black black soles seem to have a more of a soft cushion which I prefer. Also the serenity palace blue and the black black I wear in an 8 1/2 medium. When I purchased the mood indigo dusty pink and the arctic dusty grape juice, in 8 1/2 medium, they were too tight. So I purchased the mood indigo dusty pink in 8 1/2 wide and they were perfect. Both the mood indigo dusty pink and the Arctic dusk grape juice soles were not as plush as the serenity palace blue and the black black. It’s odd because they are all Hoka Bondi 6 models. I tried the Hoka Clifton’s and other Hoka models, but I prefer the Bondi soles that have extra cushion. I would like to purchase different colors but unfortunately Zappos does not have them in stock. I am hoping that they have them in stock soon. Thank you Zappos for having such a great return policy so that I can find the best shoes possible. I also appreciate the Zappos customer reviews, they give the best reviews of each product.

I have several pairs of the Bondi 6--One pair I use for running exclusively. I work in a warehouse (in shipping) and I am on my feet all day on concrete. The cushioning on the Bondi 6 is PHENOMENAL. My feet and legs are rarely tired at the end of a day. My other job is as an usher for the Atlanta Braves. This also involves standing on concrete for up to six hours at a stretch; those games is why I have a third pair.

Heads up, runners. I have always ordered running shoes 1/2 size bigger than my normal shoe size. For me at least, these shoes worked best in my normal size. Very comfortable, no break in time necessary, like running on a cloud.

I love this shoe! It was comfortable right from the first day I wore them. The problem I encountered is the show is a half size too big. I followed the reviews and ordered my usual size but after wearing them a couple of times I realized they are too big. Now it’s too late to return this expensive shoe.

Best sneaker I have had on in years!!! They fit well, are comfortable, light weight, and I can wear them for lengthy periods of time.

I bought these for a trip to Disney and they did not disappoint!! They are like walking on big marshmallows. I wore them for a few hours one day, then for 3 days straight. I was the only one in the group who did not have tired feet and legs. And they really made my back feel good too! Because these don’t seem to have a ton of stability side to side anyone who has issues with walking on the insides or outsides of their feet should be aware. But super comfortable for consistently beating the pavement.

This was my fifth pair of Hokas, and the most comfortable yet. I am 76, and suffer from hallux rigidus, arthritis of the big toe. The Bondi 6 has a stiff sole, a “rocker” bottom, and a cushioned feel. It allows me to walk 4 to 5 miles a day.

I really like the "maximizing" cushion of HOKA shoes. The color was not my first choice as I prefer bold, bright colors.

I love that this shoe truly a wide shoe where I can wiggle my toes and feel comfortable. I just love the thick sole which makes it so very comfortable walking. I only wish the color I wanted was available. I like this color too. I used to wear Brookes but I will be buying this brand from now on.

These are the most comfortable shoes I own! I have a tendency towards getting plantar fasciitis, not when I wear Hokas.

Awesome fit ! These are my first high end walking / running shoe and I cannot believe how comfortable !!!!!! Running and walking hills - unreal ! In fact I just placed an order for another pair Don’t hesitate !

The fit of the shoe was fine, but for me personally, it's just too squishy for running. Will try a different Hoka One One model with less cushion next.

I usually order size 8 in my athletic shoes. This Bondi felt too large. I went to a local sports store and tried the same shoe in a 7 1/2 and they were perfect! So I will be sending the size 8 back to Zappos!
