Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 6

I love these shoes! I recently decided to start training for my first half marathon. I’ve always run in Brooks Glycerin and have loved them in years past. But when I started increasing my mileage in the Brooks, I started getting bad shin splints and the cushion I once loved didn’t seem as cushiony the more I ran. I read about the Bondi and decided to give it a try. While they are very tall, chunky looking, and not the most attractive shoe in my opinion, somehow they are light and pillowy without feeling like it absorbs too much of my spring. So weird, but it work for me! The lower heel-to-toe drop took some getting used to in my calves, but I now have no shin or knee pain on long distances like I used to. Personally I like these for long runs. Keeps my legs from taking a pounding. Anything 3 miles or less I would probably wear something like my old Brooks. But for now, the Bondi has been a lifesaver. Or a shin saver actually!

This is my second pair of Bondi by Hoka. I purchased my first pair after a bout of plantar fasciitis. I find them to have excellent cushioning. I order the wide width as I find them to be a bit narrow. This year's model is just as comfortable as my last pair. I use them for walking several miles every day and highly recommend them. My neighbor who is a marathoner also wears them and loves them.

Excellent shoe all around.

I have one foot that always gives me issues by the good foot was in HEAvEN! Unfortunately because of my bad foot they didn’t work.
