Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

Excellent shoe.I am a server and because of the pandemic was working long shifts outside on concrete and developed a bad case of plantar fasciitis.Read online that the Bondis are the best shoes and bought 2 pairs.Within a month my pain was gone.After a year they wore out and I started to feel a little pain again,but since they are so expensive I decided to try different pairs.I bought Hoka Cliftons on sale but they are not the same and didn't help at all.Then tried Saucony triumph and now Saucony Endorphin 2.Not even close.So I'm not gonna waste any more money and I'm gonna buy 2 more pairs of the Bondi 7.For reference,I'm flat footed with wide feet and I buy the regular width and they fit fine.On an average shift I clock in around 18 000 steps according to my Fitbit and if weren't for my Hokas I would not be able to work such long hours.The only downside is that they wear off fairly quickly,but I kept wearing them past the recommended miles anyway and it was fine.I had two pairs and switched them daily.My Cliftons are my gym shoes now.

Usually wear a size 7. Need to exchange for a 6.5.

The fit is perfect for me because of the wide toe box.

I love Hoka Bondi 7 because they have a big toe box. I need the room because of bunions. I just had to adjust the shoelaces and these shoes are perfect.

The shoe fit perfect, the heel does not rub Arch support is excellent; my plantar fasciitis has been kept at bay. My physical therapist has noticed my balance and stride have improved

Sounds dramatic, but I wouldn't be able to walk right now without them. I've been developing plantar fasciitis due to a medical issue, resulting in nearly unbearable, shooting pain to my feet and back with every step. I was starting to spend most days bedridden so I tried Hoka, Ofoos, SAS, Life Strides, and Taos. The best of these for arch support (and the only ones that allowed me to walk without pain again) were Ofoos and Hoka, with Hoka being the clear winner cause of my wide feet. If you have serious arch issues, don't hesitate to get these shoes. OFOOS are only made to fit a small percentage of people, and would cause my feet to hurt like no tomorrow because of how narrowly they design their shoes - I had shooting pain from just SITTING still in them! That's how tight they are! If you have issues with edema or anything like that, forget it. They'll cause you even more pain. They're also too squishy/spongey in a way that causes you to feel off-balance (like walking on a gummy bear) - I can't imagine them lasting long being so soft. HOKA, on the other hand, is made for a diverse set of sizes - I appreciate their Wide option, and the shoes are much more well-made and designed. They're sturdier and feel like they'll last longer because they're not gummy bears, just normal awesome sneakers with great arch support. I've walked 18K+ steps in these in one day and have been fine at the end of the day when I slip into my Hoka slippers, which I also love. I wouldn't be mobile right now without these shoes so yay Hoka!

I was hesitant to try Hoka shoes because of the thick looking soles, but these shoes are game changers. I have arthritis in my big toe joint and running was getting painful. These shoes offer a stiffer sole without added weight and now the pain is gone. I’m sold!
