Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 6

This has got to be the most comfortable shoes for me! Due to plantar fasciitis and metatarsal pain, it’s such a challenge finding shoes I could wear without pain, even with my customised insoles. With this pair, it feels like walking on clouds, but still with some form of stability, hence it does not affect the biomechanics of the body. I use them for my daily life and also when going on tours. Nothing else come close to them! The shoes felt chunky, but they’re not heavy at all. I find the design for the coloured ones ugly, hence I opted for black. Black makes it look less chunky and slimming. I had to return a previous pair as the recommended size was tight for me. Had to go up half a size. After sizing up, the fit is just perfect. Love the wide fit, it accommodates my wide feet really well. One small flaw, the back of the shoes are little low, hence it doesn’t hold the feet as well as shoes with higher backing. Hope Hoka would fix that for the next pair and come out with casual shoes with the same footbed!

So comfy right out of the box! These are awesome running/walking shoes. They feel like you're walking on clouds. The comfort level is out of this world. Great if you're standing on your feet for long periods of time and great for walking outdoors or on indoor treadmill. Only con if the looks - they are very bulky looking and make your feet look huge. But I will sacrifice styling for comfort level any day! Highly recommend, although they are very pricey, worth the investment!!

Best running shoes ever. If you have foot soreness, problems, knee problems these are the shoes for you! Excellent coushing and lightweight.

I love these shoes, this is my second pair. I have a two year old model and I just bought this model. I have a wide foot and I like support, I have tried 9 other styles and brands, these are the only ones for me.

Walking. On. Clouds. These shoes have spoiled all other shoes for me!! They are beyond excellent. No more foot, knee, back, or neck pain. I am in my 40s and have become very active again simply because of these shoes. I have bought pairs for my mother and sisters and they feel exactly the same way. One is a marathon runner. I was recently in a hospital visiting a friend and I noticed more than half the nurses wearing them. What else can I say. I am buying several more pairs in case Hoka ever go out of her minds and discontinue them.

They fit great! I returned them only because I didn’t notice the gray stripes alone the bottom. I need totally black shoes for work. My last pair has lasted over a year!

The minute I put this sneaker on I knew it was a good fit so comfortable, I just started wearing the biondi and it is much more supportive and comfortable than the Clifton, very happy with the sneaker

Love these shoes. I broke my tibia, fibia and ankle and these are helping me walk.

This is my first pair of Hokas but it won't be my last!!! I have severe plantar fascitis (have even had surgery on both feet) and had actually forgotten what it felt like to walk pain free! These shoes cradle my feet and the comfort and support are outstanding. I can't say enough good about these shoes. My orthopedic recommended them and I'm so glad I followed his recommendation!!

I usually wear between a 6 1/2 or a 7. For a running shoe, I wanted some room but I still chose the 6 1/2. The 7 felt like the front of my foot was swimming. If you like running in super soft shoes, these are it. They are strange when you first try them on. It felt like I was being rocked forward. I got used to it quickly and forgot about it once I was running.

I wanted to try this style given some of the other reviews. I didn't like this style as much as the clifton 5. The tongue was shorter than I'm used to and rubbed my ankle (not enough to rub a blister). These also didn't help my plantar fascitis as much as the clifton 5 shoe. I like this shoe for everyday use, just not 12 hour shifts at the hospital.

Love this shoe - it has a great look. I did have to return this pair because of my right foot. The arch was not in the right place for my right foot which is an issue specific to me.

I have a stress fracture in my heel and need good support and a stiffer-than-normal sole. These shoes are perfect. They were instantly comfortable. They look substantial but are not heavy at all. My podiatrist was impressed with them as well. OK, they’re not beautiful but what athletic shoes are? These are going to be great during the healing process as well as afterwards. I’m very pleased.

To look at my fantastically beautiful feet you would never guess that I am plagued with plantar faciiatis and neuropathy. These shoes are fantastic! They have great support and maximum comfort. My neurologist and podiatrist recommended them by name and the neurologist was even wearing a pair. Although I have them in basic black, the only negative thing I can say about them is they don't look really great with evening wear.

This shoe is a dream. I’ve had both knees replaced and was looking for a comfortable shoe fo walking and exercising. The generous cushioning is so helpful in absorbing shock! I am planning to wear on a European vacation on cobblestones. I just ordered another pair in another color. Width is ACTUALLY WIDE and the heel is comfortable. I also like the laces which are made of a nice flexible material that stays tied and aren’t too short. LOVE LOVE and I am a hard ft.

Love this shoe! I am not an avid runner, but I do run-ish. These shoes make my run less miserable, Wide shoes are rarely cute, but these fit the bill!

I have been wearing and loving Bondi 5s for over a year. I have Hallux Rigidus, arthritis of the big toe joint, and have had surgery. It is painful with every other shoe, but not the Bondi 5s. I heard good things about the Bondi 6s so decided to try them out. It seems like the insole, although nice and cushiony, hits the bottom of the ball of my foot, where there is usually pain, and also hits the bottom side of my heel. These don't seem like good things. Right now I also have plantar fasciitis in that same foot (!), so I removed the Hoka insoles and inserted the insoles that my podiatrist gave me for that condition. It feels wonderful! I don't know if I would be happy with the insoles that come with these shoes. The Bondi 5s are harder (which I don't like) but seem flatter, without the rises that seem uncomfortable. So with a little tinkering, these turned out to be great. Maybe try them out and see how they fit your foot. I love the turquoise color with matching outer soles. I am thinking of getting another pair. Thanks to Hoka, I can take long walks even with this nasty condition.

I have plantar fascitis and unfortunately I cannot wear just any shoe any longer. I have narrow feet so these shoes felt great on my feet. I am buying another pair today in case Hoka decides to get rid of it or change it.Nooooooo. Not all PF is the same. I can only speak for myself and these shoes were great. Light and comfy. I can even fast walk on my treadmill again.

LOVE THIS SHOE!! Wow, and it makes me like 1/2” taller, to boot! Super comfortable and great support.

These are so funny looking, like a 90's platform throwback. BUT THEY ARE THE MOST COMFORTABLE THINGS EVER!!!

Like walking on marshmallows but with excellent support

I love walking in these. Lots of nice wiggle room for my toes, and the right expanse for my wide feet.

I typically wear the Clifton 4. I am walking several miles on concrete and tried the Bindi 6. They are more supportive, a tiny bit wider, and have a little more padding. I'm very happy with these.

These shoes are comfy with great cushioning when walking and working out. They do feel a full size too large for my foot. When I looked inside the shoe it shows US size 8 and EU size 40. Normally when I purchase shoes with European sizing I'm a 39. I put in an additional insert which helped them fit a bit better.
