Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 6

I don't like this shoe as well as the Bondi 5, it feels too narrow across the toes compared to the 5. Having said that it's still the best shoe out there at this moment.

It feels like walking on clouds, just have to get through the blisters on the side of my foot

So far Bondi 6 is my favority shoe. It is plenty cushioned. I wear a wide and the midfoot is good but toebox is NOT generous. I will say the canvas shoe material has stretched a bit. Very lightweght. I wear in the kitchen when I am cooking, cushioning helps

I bought the Bondi 5 for work as a nurse in the hospital. I wear a 7.5, but the store I purchased from recommended a whole size. I wear compression socks to work so the whole size up (8.5) was too roomy. The shoes wore out really quickly. Also I had to return the Bondi 2x and gave up on the 3rd paid after the sole petal treads lofted off of the shoe witching 3 Months each time. I decided to purchase this pair directly from HOKA, and was super excited to see that there are no more petal treads. To only wear them 3 days a week for walking and sometimes running in the hospital I was very disappointed. So we'll see. After trying this pair on, I was in love but there was an extra bounce in the step. It almost feels like the sole is collapsing. The true test will be on the unit after 12 hours on my feet.

Recovering from a foot injury. Podiatrist recommended the Bondi. Much more comfortable than the Brooks model I had been buying for the last 10 years!

Everything was great except for the tongue on the left shoe. It would dig into the top of my foot.

Shoes felt comfy, but Unfortunately these shoes were just too big and too wide.

Gamble on size and fit but it worked out. Recipient likes them a lot. Four stars because they were not on my feet. Just relaying what was told me.

Great for getting back on to the treadmill after dealing with plantar fasciitis. Heel pain was significantly decreased. However, the tongue is tight across the top of my foot, no matter how I lace the strings.

This is my third pair of Bondi 6. I really think the plush sole helps with arthritis in my right foot. The squeak is annoying.

I additional comment

These are one of the few shoes I am able to run in but they only last me about 5 months. I run 3 to 4 tines a week 3-10 miles per run.

I purchased these because I am a Scrub Tech in the OR at a Level 1 Trauma and teaching school. I do between 3-7 miles a day and am on my feet at least 8 to 10 hours a day. I was drawn in by the talks of cushioned comfort. They indeed were comfortable as far as the cushioning goes, but it did not alleviate any pain in my legs, not even with compression socks. It did rid me of lower back pain though. I believe this in part has a lot to do with how I ordered. I ordered "wide width" to accommodate some room in the toe box, but apparently these shoes were roomy enough without vying for the wide ones. They're a great sturdy shoe when it comes to was at the bottom of my feet, lots of cushioning, but I felt I didn't have the structural support outside of the soles and cushioning of this shoe. I felt I needed more stability on both sides of the shoe and maybe a lot more arch support. So, unfortunately, I am returning these. I am just going to hit a local store so I can try a variety of Hoka's since I am not certain which one is right for me.

I've just gotta say... These shoes were recommended to me by several sports enthusiasts as well as my Orthopedic Surgeon, whom I just completed foot surgery with.... I just need to give my toes about 5 more months of recovery before I get new shoes..... But I do love 'em!

I got the bondi 6, since an official retailer in the expo in Mexico city marathon suggested this one for me. I wanted to check the hoka brand since I've read so many good reviews. At the expo I tried several and the one that supposed to fit me was the bondi 6. I tried them walk them, jog them a little there and really felt awesome.. I had just a month with my new other running shoes, so I was not going to buy them. As soon as I needed to change for the new brand for me, I got this hoka ones. I really loved them, they are super confy and soft and cushion, the thing is that I tried them in 3 long distances (15,18, and 12k) and I got blisters on both feet. Same toe, the three times, started sore after km 8. Is not the shoe, they are very good ones, is my type of step (that I got suggested the wrong one) I need a different style to fit the way I step. The retailer (who said was all expert in running shoes) in Mexico city marathon expo suggested the wrong one. I really want to find one of this brand for me, since I didn't get any sole sore after running as it happened with my other brand of sneakers that I used for more than 5 yrs. I will return the Bondi6. But as soon as I come to the US to an official hoka store where I can try all of them, will find a good one for me!! Thanks!!!
