Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 6

I bought these shoes to wear for work (nursing assistant) and for clinicals in nursing school. They have sooooo much cushion, they’re like wearing two shoe clouds! They’re lightweight and comfortable and are saving my feet! The price is worth it for the comfort they give me during three back-to-back 12-hour shifts.

WOW! Love these shoes! Truly comfy as they claim and dang if I didn't grow 2" in height! I definitely recommend these shoes for anyone, style and comfort are spot on! Super cute!

I was intrigued by the design of these and decided to try them out. While the comfort level of the Hoka One One Bondi 6 is amazing, they didn’t suit me for running. I found myself unable to get full, smooth motion in my steps and repeatedly caught my toe on the ground as I moved through the step. They’re not heavy, though they do seem a bit clunky and not sleek like most of my running shoes. With a nice, wide toe box, good arch support, and a very cushy heel, I would love these for walking, and they would be great for city touring. I could probably get used to running in them, but for now, at this price point, I’m sticking with my Hoka Challenger trail shoes and sending these back.

This is not a sleek delicate sneaker. It is bulky and very comfortable. I bought it for an upcoming trip to Europe where I would usually be loath to wear sneakers, but comfort wins over the need for fashion. I purchased the black on black and have worn them inside my house to accustom my feet to the shoes. I have a previous pair of Hoka (Bondi 5) which are a 1/2 size larger and in Wide width and which I purchased several months ago to fit my custom orthotics. I love them, although my feet look big in them (think of Big Foot). My normal shoe size is 9 1/2 M. This recent purchase of Bondi 6 is in my actual size, but I purchased them in wide also. My orthotics fit well in the shoe. The wide is perfectly comfortable and my foot is not "dancing" inside the shoe. So, if you are on the fence between medium and wide, I would suggest going with wide. Interestingly, I did notice that the tongue portion in this shoe is somewhat longer and the toe box seems to be somewhat rounder than in the Bondi 5. All in all, I can't complain, It's better to have happy feet than pretty feet. The shipping experience with Zappos was phenomenal.

The most comfortable running shoes I've ever worn. They look a little clunky but who cares when they feel this good!
