Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

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!

My physical therapist recommended these shoes. I have midfoot arthritis and my feet can get quite painful. These shoes are wonderfully supportive, yet still soft and well cushioned. I can walk farther, and longer, without pain. They fit true to size. They "hold up" well. I really love these shoes.

These are not for me. Bought Brooks sneaker also. Better fit. Returning

This shoe is very comfortable and my foot felt very stable. They are a bit clunky looking, but great feel for my feet. Unfortunately I have to return them because the back heel area is too loose and my heel moves around. I wish they felt more snug in the heel.

I ordered these in a wide width but they did not seem wide enough

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.
