Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 6

Needed a pair of shoes for walking/running that would help minimize hip pain. Did 11 miles last weekend and I felt great! These shoes are worth every penny. .

This is my second pair of Hoka shoes. They feel a little roomier than my regular size 8 but with extra arch support insert they are perfect. It's like walking on a cloud. The delivery was super fast regardless of COVID 19 quarantine. Thank you Hoka, thank you Zappos!

True to size.

Very soft in the front ideal for my hammer toes,

I normally wear a 5.5, but in running or athletic shoes I size up to at least a 6. You don't need to do this with Hoka One! I tried on 4 different models and settled on the Bondi. I have extremely high arches and this was the shoe that seemed best suited to my unique foot.

The most comfortable running shows that I have ever worn. No feeling of impact, rocker sole is amazing. I have very sensitive feet and these are a game changer. I already want another pair. (I bought them a half size up for running but not sure that it was necessary)

I purchased the Hoka Bondi 6 because I was experiencing shin splints when walking and these were recommended by multiple friends. Size, width, fabric all great - not to mention I think they are really stylish. I do, however, have fallen arches, and the insole has a rigid edge which caused quite a bit of irritation, with a deep ridge on the side of my foot after walking for 2 miles. There was a fix for this however - I wore thicker socks when walking and that solved that issue. I'm not returning them which I thought I would have to do.

After surgery on a metatarsal joint, I needed a shoe wide enough to accommodate a swollen foot and one that has plenty of cushion under the ball of my foot. Over the years, Nike Air Max running shoe has been my favorite shoe for ball of foot cushion, but I could not find a current model with enough cushion in all black. This Bondi 6 model has lots of cushion all over. This shoe has a toe box that is wide enough to accommodate my swollen foot. Nike Air Max are more stylish, but comfort makes us for everything else.

I suffer from plantar fasciitis in the heel section of my foot to the point that it was unbearable to walk most days. This brand was one that was referred to me by my podiatrist. They are absolutely heaven!! I can walk again!! This is the best shoe I have found. While these may be a bit pricey, they are worth every penny in my opinion. I would definitely recommend these to anyone suffering from pain in your feet from plantar fasciitis!!

My wifes go to shoe!

This is my second pair of Bondi 6. I have really bad plantar fasciitis and these shoes are like walking on clouds. They are so plush.

Perfect width and size. Zappo's is always accommodating. I wear Hoka Bondi 6 as I fractured my foot. My orthopedic surgeon suggested I get this specific shot. Made all the difference in the world in my recovery. I wear this specific shoe now for all my activities involving exercise. Cannot beat them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love these shoes, however I bought them to work in (I'm a nurse). These are excellent running shoes, not quite what I was in the market for at this time.

I am a long distance runner and have Mortons Neuroma and have worn custom orthotics for 12 years. Recently I started having heel pain and pain on the side and top of one foot. I went to see a podiatrist and found out I have some soft tissue issues and a heel spur. My old orthotics are 4 years old and he suggested trying a new pair of shoes for 3 weeks without the supports before buying a new 400.00 pair that insurance does not cover. I was leery because thats all my feet have known for 12 years. At the time I was wearing Hoka arahi 2's with the supports and loved them. After trying on the recent arahi and not liking the cushion in them I purchased the Hoka Stintson because of the cushion. After a couple days of wearing them I felt like I had weights on my feet and they were very clunky shoes. I returned them and after reading many reviews decided to try the Bondi 6 . I have had them one week as of this writing and love them. There was no break-in period since this was the only shoe I could wear that wasn't sized to my custom orthotics. This is the first time in years I haven't needed the extra support. I wear them all day, not just for running because at this point they are the only thing that has enough cushion and support. I also have extremely high arcs and these work well for that as well. I plan to get a second pair in another color. My daughter has plantar fasciitis and tendon issues in one foot and needs surgery so she usuaaly doesnt walk more than 5000 steps day. She tried mine and decided to get her a pair. Yesterday was her second day wearing them and she was able to walk over 15,000 steps and had no pain. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a running shoe or just an everyday shoe. There are many colors to choose from. I normally wear a 11 with the orthotics and a 10 without, that's what the Stintson were, but these run a half size smaller so I got a 10 1/2. My daughter wears the same size as me and she also got the 10 1/2.

Size 9W too long. Returned them and will try 8 1/2 Wide. I don’t have a wide foot but I like to wear thick sock and the wide accommodates that better. Thank you Zappos for your great return policy.

LOVE! These are the most comfortable Hokas! I have 3 other styles but these are the softest and an all black sneaker is a must have! I am a size 9 but got the size 8 in these. Definitely recommend!

I don’t know why I didn’t order this shoes before! They are perfection. And Zappos shipping is incredible! I’m overall very happy with my purchase. Shoes run large, I am usually 8, so I ordered 7.5 and it fits perfect.

Great shoe! First time buying this. Rand and most likely will be a lifer. Comfortable. Can walk all day without my hips, knees and feet hurting. Turned my sister on to the too!! Usually I wear a 9.5 bit downsized to a 9 and they were perfect.

I have had to wear athletic shoes for 30 years due to a foot issue. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I will be buying more pairs to ensure I have these specific shoes for years to come.

The best SNEAKER in my life!!

I sized down A half-size to an eight . The material is canvas like and breathes and it looks nice. I am particularly happy with the comfort. My podiatrist suggested these shoes and I have never owned a more comfortable pair. I have already bought a second .

Very comfortable, able to wear all day in healthcare setting. They run a full size too large - 90% of the time I am an 8.5 in tennis shoes, occasionally 8.0, but I needed a 7.5 for these. Definitely more expensive than other sneakers I have bought in the past, but these do seem to be better quality.

These are me second pair, and they are comfortable from the 1st wear. Originally I got these in search of relief from my plantar fasciitis. I have orthotics that fit nicely, but even without them they are comfortable. I only wish they had more color options without the white bottom layer, so they would be more inconspicuous for office work wear.
