This is my 4th pair. I generally wear a size 8.5 but was sized in a store for these and wear a 9.5 in the Bondi 7. These are virtually the only shoes I wear. I have not had any knee pain since I began wearing these and I walk at least 5 miles a day. Will continue to wear these.

This is the fourth pair of HOKAs I have owned. They all have been my regular daily shoe to wear.

I think they are good shoes as long as you don't need to use custom orthotics. I read somewhere that the shoes are cut a half size larger and should accomodate custom orthotics. My custom orthotics are quite wide to support my flat feet. I could get them into the shoe, but once they were in the shoes no longer felt comfortable. They felt tight. I like to be able to wiggle my toes in my shoes. I could not. I decided to return them for that reason.

Sadly, this is not the same last as my older Hoka Bondis. Lots of cushioning but weirdly made. I have a AA width, but the toe box was tight, even with thin socks. And arch seems out of place.. too far back and to sides of foot. Very long tongue that presses against bottom of shin. CAnnot use.

I was a die hard customer of the Hoka Stinson Atr shoes. After a few years I started needing a more slim lined and less bulky shoe. Needed more stability. I use doctor prescribed orthotics in my shoes for my arches so I have foot problems. My knees and whole body will hurt if the wrong shoes are worn. Since I changed to the Bondi 7 shoes my whole body feels so much more in balance and I still get the full plush feeling that the Stinsons gave me, without the bulk. The Bondi feels like a perfect fit and feels like a glove around my whole foot. Great stability and helps my back and knees feel normal and stable. Great shoe! So happy I changed over to the Bondi!

I am not a runner. I am a plus size woman with lots of foot pain. These shoes are incredible and the only ones I can wear. I have 3 pair and alternate them. Being short, I also appreciate the boost in height they give me, lol. I recommend getting fitted at a running store. I normally wear a size 8.5, but in these I wear 8 WIDE. They seem to fit on the narrow side.

I wanted to love these shoes but the cushioning was so so and the toe box was not very roomy. I wound up swapping out the insole with an athletic insole.

First, excellent customer service, return went very well.
I found the shoe to be so squishy in the heel that I tended to tip back into my heel, making my feet feel overall heavy and unsupported.

The height of the soles throw me off balance.

I love these shoes so much. I work in a hospital and they keep my feet feeling good all day. I don't have pain at the end of my shift anymore.

They are wonderful! Feels like walking on foam pillows! They are a great purchase for walking . Especially walking on asphalt and concrete.

Awesome comfort! Love them!
I have worn custom orthotics for >40 years and I do not wear them with these shoes and have had no problems at the end of the day. I typically walk 5 - 6 miles a day.

I wanted to love these... my problem was the stiffness of the back heel rubbed a blister. Maybe if I had sized up 1/2 a size. . . I opted to trade for the Clifton 8s because the heel comes up higher. Was a better choice for me. I will say if the back heel wouldn't had been an issue, I feel the Bondi would have been an amazing shoe.

This is my third pair and the only shoe I wear for work as I am on my feet for 12 hours. The only thing I wish is that they would more color variety in wides. Best show ever.

I literally walk miles some nights at work. RN in nursing home. Hurt one foot and in pain for a month. Ending up buying 3 different shoes and HOKA only one that ended pain. Super comfortable.

My arch supports make a lot of noise with this pair. I finally took them out. This has not happened before. Hoka's have always been perfect prior to this.

Footbed has a defective, stiff insert that turns upward creating a sharp edge from toe to heel which then digs into the foot with every step - even with socks on. Way to painful to walk in and cut into the side of each foot.

I've worn these three times now. So lovely from a padding point of view, like walking on clouds. Sadly, I have extreme blisters on my heel after 3 miles so I guess these go in the bin. Expensive experiment.
