Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

I'm not a runner at all, I'm a preschool teacher during the week and like to walk on the weekends. These are great for both those things. I primarily bought them because I'm on my feet all day at work and needed a shoe that would do as much as possible to make sure my feet weren't dying by the end of the day. Before I bought them I tried a pair of Brooks Ghost 13s and they weren't nearly cushy enough. I think this is the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever had. They feel like you're walking on pillows, if it were possible to walk on pillows and not have them squish down with every step. But at least on me, they don't give me any awkward feeling of having no contact with the ground. They aren't perfect- I think the collar could stand to be higher. They do slip slightly on my feet and if I were running in them that might bother me more. And the cushiony feel is definitely better in the morning than after 9 hours in them. But for what I wanted them for I would happily buy another pair. A note on sizing- my regular shoe size is a 7.5. In New Balance I wear an 8 or even an 8.5, and in Brooks I needed an 8. I got these in a 7.5 and they're the perfect length. So I think compared to other running shoes they run slightly long.

When a Covid RN recommends Hoka.... you listen. Period. I am so glad I took her advice and bought a pair for myself. I am on my feet day in and day out. I can wear these all day long, run myself ragged and my feet still feel great at the end of the day.

These are simply the most comfortable sneaker/gym shoes I've every wornn, As I've gotten older the front of my foot seems to have gotten slightly wider and these are the ONLY shoes where the toe box if perfect - even after several hours of walking or excercising. Wish they had more wild color combinations but I'll never wear another brand.

I have a number of back issues and I desperately needed a shoe for walking my dogs that is more than just comfortable. Lately, I often have a hard time walking without having to limp, hunch over, or hold my hip. I have never tried Hoka before, but decided on these after much research. I ordered them from the website and after waiting anxiously, they arrived today. I'm very happy that they seem to be just what I'm looking for. They fit perfectly in my usual sneaker size and width. I would not recommend making any changes from your usual size. From walking in them so far, all I can say is it feels like I'm not walking on my own anymore. It's hard to describe, but it's like the shoe is assisting me in walking, like it's some kind of rocker that is helping to move me along. If you are considering these for reasons like me, I am writing this review to say that these will most likely be the best shoe you will find. With the 60 day trial that Hoka offers on top of that, it's a great purchase. I stressed over whether I should buy them here or try to find them for less somewhere or order the Bondi 6 on sale in another width. I'm really glad I just paid a few extra dollars and got my right size with this great 60 day trial...so far it's all good! Most happy sneaker purchase!

Honestly I thought I could just keep wearing my old shoes with fresh inserts, but buying these brand new Hokas was an even better decision for my feet & body. I wear these every day to work, and occasionally when I run. They do feel a little clunky, but I still give them 5 stars for the comfort and cush. One run I had a numb pinky toe problem, but that turned out to be user error as I just had to loosen my laces near the toe. I will likely be buying another pair if not right away, to replace these if they ever wear down! For sizing, they don't feel too big but I usually either wear an 8 or 8.5 and I have plenty of room if not a little extra in the 8.

I work in a pediatric hospital, with a dog attached to me most of the time. Walk, run, stop fast when kids run in front of you, and potty breaks outside in all kinds of weather. These Bondi 7's are wonderful! Retiring my Bondi 6's!!!!

Nothing to complain about at all!

I herniated two discs in my back awhile ago and have been struggling with flare ups ever since so I got the Bondis for some extra cushion. Honestly, I didn't think it would do much but OMG! Even on my pretty painful flare up days, these guys give me the extra impact absorption that makes all the difference in the world. On top of that I have wide feet so the wide width option plus the cushion has been a game changer for me the past few weeks. I still wear my Cliftons on faster work out days or really long runs because these Bondi's are definitely heavier and chunkier but overall, they are exactly what I was looking for.

I couldn't wait to give these Bondi 7's a try!! I really love the Bondi 6- so I didn't think it could be any better..... But then it WAS!!!! I suffer from on and off Plantar Fasciitis and need a solid cushion support! Not only does this shoe offer the support I need- it delivers beyond that in my opinion. Thank you Hoka One One for delivering!

I have hallux rigidus (arthritis in a big toe), plus plantar fasciitis, and these came up as I researched super comfortable sneakers with plenty of support for daily walking in parks, etc. Excellent comfort, work great with my podiatry insoles, plus quick shipping! I'm 68 and never realized I needed a "running" shoe! (I did go into a running store first and tried on for size but ordered here for the color choice I wanted.)

I have Morton's neuroma in one foot and arthritis in big toe in another and these have been awesome for my foot pain . Would buy again

I have been running with different brand of running shoes but this bondi7 is great. It fits perfectly with enough support.

Very comfortable shoe for me! Arthritis, bunions, plantar fasciitis and needing a wide make finding a comfortable shoe to walk in all but impossible.

Have had major back surgery and problems with right foot and ankle, finding shoes that that were comfortable were next to impossible, I could only wear Ugg's and Crocs and ONLY a few minutes at a time. Podiatrist recommended Hoka and after spending many hours researching the best shoes for someone with foot problems- I ordered these shoes. I've been able to start walking again without my foot swelling and my footbed burning. The cushioned foot bed and cut of the shoe are ideal, I also like the way they look. Will be buying more HOKA shoes and give them an A+ money well spent.

I bought these shoes for my planters fasciitis (I'm an educator and on my feet for at least 10 hours/day). They were also recommended to me by a family member. Wow!!! They are so comfortable. I bounce as I walk. I never have a concern or discomfort while wearing them. I'm saving up to buy another pair (different color).
