These shoes are amazing if you stand on hard concrete all day.

I walk 4 miles almost every day so I needed a good shoe. My Hokas are very comfortable.

Prescribed & also worn by my Podiatrist. I understand why. I do it my own orthotics in them.

I was so looking forward to these shoes! Unfortunately they ran too narrow for me and actually hurt when I walked.

Comfy! Highly recommend these Hokas! But order 1/2 size smaller than you normally wear.

After 45 years of running, the fatty pads in ball of my feet were shot and running was becoming increasingly painful. A friend recommended Hoka. A GAME CHANGER! Perfect cushioning for the balls of my feet. Not only that, I believe the shoe is correcting how my foot strikes the road. I no longer feel sore in my knees or quads the next day. This is my second pair. And thank you for the wide widths!

I am heavy and have a bad knee, and these shoes made a huge difference with walking. I wear them everywhere. They stop me from rolling my ankle outward and my knees stay straight which really helps prevent pain.

My feet always hurt. A friend of mine told me about Hoka's. I was hesitant but purchased a pair. Best purchase ever!

The excessive cushioning in these shoes made me feel unsteady. It increased my height and made walking feel most unusual. I ordered my usual size of 8.5 wide. The fit was fine except for the heel being too wide and which caused slipping. I have a mobility issue. Perhaps someone else would find the shoe a perfect choice. I ordered these on recommendation from a person who owns 5 pairs. Go figure!

I have arthritis in my feet, with hallux limitus and bone spurs in the ball of my foot. I used to love the Bondi shoes because they had enough space for the swollen balls of my feet and were stiff enough to enable me to walk with something like a normal stride. This new Bondi 7 has a toe box that is lower than the others, and it is painfully tight on the top of my foot right at that bad joint. Alas.

My foot doctor recommended these to me to alleviate foot pain from a number of issues I have with both feet. I like to take 3-5 mile walks every day. Not only is my foot pain much better but my lower back pain has improved. I could not be happier with this purchase and will continue to buy only HOKA from now on.

Love the looks of these in black and white. I really wanted to love them but I was developing some foot pain on one side from the shoe. I love hokas and plan to try a different pair. Maybe they are a bit on the narrow side? Lots of cushion and very stylish though! Thank you Hokas for your return policy

I had to return these-they run 1/2 size big in my opinion. Zappos has great customer service and I was able to get the correct size.

I purchased Size 7/Black. They are comfortable and lightweight. I wore them all day at a conference with black dress pants. Since the pair is all black, including sole, they pass decently as a pair of dress shoes.

They feel great on my feet. They do run wide. They make my feet happy but they are very bulky and dont look good with shorts unfortunately.

Hello, I bought my first pair of Hokas, on the advice of a resident Foot surgeon. And I'm appreciative of that, the shoe is comfortable and offers great support. Comfortable shoe right from day one. I have had planter phaciatis before , and find the shoe give all day support.

For the last 5 years I have been solely devoted to Brooks Ghost but didn't like that I tend to walk the soles off in 3 months so I thought I'd try Hoka to see if they wear better. I walk my pups outside 3-5 miles per weekday morning before work unless it's snowy, icy, or raining. I was hoping to utilize the 30-day guarantee but we had a lot of all 3 weather conditions during this time frame so I missed the deadline.
Last year I had 2 foot surgeries on my right foot involving rods & pins, removing a toe knuckle, & realigning a metatarsal joint. The Hoka Bondi 7 fits so perfectly on this surgically repaired foot without causing any pain whatsoever.
I always develop blisters on my heels when transitioning to a new style of shoe & it usually takes up to 2 weeks to resolve. Unfortunately after this initial transition, I realized (too late) that about a 1-1/2 to 2 miles into my walks the outter edge of my left foot starts to hurt and a blister starts to reform on the heel of the same foot. The only conclusion I can come up with is that my left shoe is just the slightest bit too narrow. Otherwise these would probably be the most comfort able shoe ever. I'm saddened that I missed the 30-day from purchase window. I wish Hoka had a longer guarantee window like Brooks' 90-day Satisfaction Guarantee. Between the 7 days to arrive, multiple rounds of inclement weather, & transition time there was not enough time to accurately access the shoe.
I don't think I will be able to continue wearing these shoes for longer distanced walks however, for short jaunts or everyday wear, they are extremely cushy & comfortable. I'm betting they would be perfect if I had a wider size. My suggestion for Hoka would be to extend the guarantee to at least 60-days.
On a side note: My dogs surely prefer these shoes since there's more cushion & bounce back for them when they step on my feet. Cause who wants paw-print-free shoes, anyway.

I have problems with crooked toes in one of my feet and I was hoping that they shoes would help but it didn’t. The shoes are well cushioned but there is no arch support; For the price I don’t know why they didn’t have that??

I love these shoes but they only last 6 months :-(
I am a walker, not a runner. I wear them everyday to do a 5 mile walk. Seems they should last longer than 6 months.

These are some of the most comfortable sneakers I've ever owned. I bought them a 1/2 size larger than normal as I broke my toe, and now realize that I prefer the 10.5 instead of the 10. I wear them way too often.
