Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

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!

I ordered these in two colors. Love them! Excellent cushioning and still supportive. I typically wear shoes from 8 to 9, average 8-1/2. I bought these in an 8 and they felt like they were made for my foot. I also occasionally buy wide width (I’m normal to wide depending on the shoe) but the medium width was generous enough that wide wasn’t necessary. Good looks and quality seems great.
