Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

I am elderly and have trouble tying shoes. There are no wide shoes that slip on other than a slide. I simply replaced the strings with elastic shoe string with locking tie and I can slip them on. They are very comfortable

I wish the toe box was a bit wider and taller but otherwise they fit my orthotics fairly well

While I LOVE the cushion of the shoes both at ball of foot and heel my last 3 toes a smooshed in the toe box. The big toe has plenty, plenty of room and I just wish there was a little more room on the sides of the toe box. Take some from the big toe around the last joint/nail area and add it to the other side then the shoes would be perfect!

The Orthopedics doctor recommended that I transition from a post surgery shoe to these after a sprained ankle. I have been using them as my basic walking shoe while the ankle continued to heal. They feel great as long as I am walking. When I sit in them for awhile they feel too constrained. I started with a wide size and that had my foot feel like it was swimming. So I reordered as a regular and that fit better for walking.

Comfortable shoe but I needed it in a wide being that I recently had ankle fusion surgery.

In general I love this shoe, but I do wish they'd give a wider toe box option

The shoe has a very thick sole, it feels like your walking on clouds. And I was able to tie the shoelaces with a few inches to spare. That's a big deal for me bc I have very high arches and with ALL my other running shoes I have to re-lace the shoes bc I usually just barely have enough shoelace to tie them. The only thing a was kind of not impressed with is the comfort, I do want to try the Clifton. I'm not planning on returning these bc they are so cute! I always get lots of compliments on them.

I love these shoes, they're so comfortable and airy. My back and feet feel great after a whole day on them. They're also lightweight for travel! My only complaint as a wide-footed person is that the wide could be a little wider. Not many companies offer wide ioptions in womens, and even fewer offer wide shoes in smaller sizes. But I still needed the wide to be wider.

Great cushion but it does not have much support inside especifically the Insole.

These are unbelievably comfortable, but the width is not as wide as I feel it should be even in a wide.

Expensive but comfortable

Only thing I don't like is the arch rubs. I might have to put a different insole in them to fix the issue.

The Bondi 6 and 7 I have bought have been the most comfortable shoes ever. Unfortunately I wear a 8.5 Wide, and the color (important to me) choices are so limited. I ordered from a local dealer the Blue Haze pair and found them NOT blue, but gray. I am after a pretty shoe with a little pizzaz. Other styles in women's and men's shoes have clear sky blue, or an aqua, but not Bondi. Their clear blue one is not offered in my width. I am currently in the black and white ones, fine for winter. But I want a pretty clear color, some sort of pastel, NOT GRAY, for spring and summer. Other styles of Hokas did not fit my foot. I love the cushioning and the correct wide width of the Bondi. I wear the shoes all day, every day and walk from 4-6 miles a day. These shoes offer the best stability and support I can find. I have inner ear balance problems and need all the support I can find. I am looking for pair 3 and want a better color selection. Why can you not make some pretty ones for wide feet in the Bondi?

I love the shoe for walking and at work. I sincerely wish there where more fun colors in the Bondi 7. I got the new powder blue color and have not worn them yet. I have had 3 pairs prior. One thing that has happened is that they seem to wear and get a hole in the big toe area so need to strengthen that area in the future of this shoe

LOVE 'EM. I have problem feet. Multiple issues. These( recommended by my orthopedist and pediatrist) sneakers, (Bondi) are a life saver. I can finally walk distances again. Absolutely no issues during or after walking. A MIRACLE shoe for me. I would give a 5+ except since they are vented and mesh and in the rain and cold wind my feet get wet/cold. NEED TO MAKE A GORTEX/WATERPROOF, RESISTANT VERSION. I purchased the Challenger/gortex. Waterproof but don't work for my feet. Now sitting brand new in the closet. Also, additional colors in wide with would be nice.

I have been a longtime user of Altra Escalante, so I was nervous about trying Hoka. I suffer from plantar fasciitis off and on, have a heel spur and Morton's Neuroma, so I need more cushion than the Esalante was giving me. Turns out, I also underpronate, which is why the Bondi 7 just didn't work. I was getting blisters on the sides of my feet. I also felt they ran long and were a bit too narrow, even in a wide. I ended up exchanging them for the Clifton 7. Hopefully those will work!
