Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

I simply wear my Bondi 7 casually. To the grocery store or for walking in the park, etc. It's feels like a glove to my feet.

I bought my first Hoka shoes May 2021 - never paid that much for a "sneaker" before - bought in-store. Loved the feel. Wore them every day until February 2026. Admittedly, if my budget had allowed, I'd have replaced them about 6 months sooner. Was finally able to buy a new pair online, so stuck with the Bondi 7, same size, different color. They fit perfectly, like a glove.

I have multiple foot issues. The Bondi 8 was PERFECT except regular width is too wide. I wore it with saggy material across the top of the toe area, because @that time it was the only shoe i found to be comfortable. I've tried many other shoes to replace Bondi 8, including other brands, but finding a shoe with only mild heel to toe drop, like Bondi 8 @4mm, with a stability sole, WITHOUT a real crazy rocker sole, has been near impossible. I was so excited that Bondi 7 offered the same sole features as Bondi 8, BUT, this shoe RUNS LONG in length. It needs improvements to the tongue which is short, thin, & moves constantly to one side because of the slippery material the shoestring threads through, but i can fix that. It needs more cushion around the ankle. In the Bondi 8 sz 10 one of my toes barely tips the end. My feet are 10.4 & 10.5inches. I purchased those at a store. Stores typically don't carry 1/2 sizes so I don't known if a 10 1/2 would have been better or not. I kept the big toe toenail on my10.5 foot clipped short and loved the comfort of every part of the Bondi 8. The inside measures exactly 10.5 inches. Since i wear sz 10 1/2 in asics & Brookes, I decided to order from Hoka a size 10 1/2 BONDI 7. They were WAY TOO LONG! I exchanged them for 10's and they are STILL TOO LONG. I love the width. For someone with a really narrow foot, but needing a wide toe box according to Ft Dr orders, the Bondi 7 is a perfect width. I've measured inside of Bondi 7 SIZE 10. They measure 10.12. That is .7 of an inch longer than the Bondi 8 size 10 of 10.5 inches. I've not returned yet because I had ordered new insoles, some pretty thick ones, SOLE Performance thick cork. I waited to see if they'd take up some room. The Insoles came today, size 11. I tried to see if they fit without trimming. They do because the Bondi 7 is only .4 from 11inches. I can stick my finger turned sideways, .75 of an inch, in the back of these Bondi 7's, & my toe still doesn't touch the end.

Too narrow, need in wide. Love this Bondi but need wide. And in good colors like Date Syrup.

Love this shoe for the excellent cushion in the sole and heel. Great all around walking shoe and for being on your feet. Only shoe that helped my plantar facsitis and heel pain.

Wonderful shoes, I would recommend highly and 2 podiatrists recommended them to me and one bone doctor. It's funny I looked down and the bone doctor was wearing them also.Can't ask for a better recommendation.

I love Hoka Bondi shoes

I recently ordered two more pair of Bondi 7's. I have an extremely hard foot to fit and a size 11 can be a hard find. The Bondi 7's fit like a glove - I have tried several other HOKA styles and none fit like the Bondi 7. It would be awesome if you just kept them available all the time - I had purchased Bondi 9 recently and it would have been nice to know the 7's were going to be available.

I have worn a 7 1/2 in the Bondi all the way back to theBondi 4. They have changed the fit of the tow area and made it more narrow. Now I'm having to go up a size in these are already very large looking shoes.

My first pair of Hoka's were Bondi 7's and I get so excited when they bring them back. I've tried other styles Bondi 8 and Gaviota's (only because the Bondi 7's were no longer available) and they are never as comfortable as the Bondi 7.

Need wide please so I can stock up. Love the colors.

The Bondi 7 re-release is not the same as the original. Not an EVA collar (or its much thinner), super firm, and narrow. Sizing is so inconsistent from one color or manufacturer to the next. To add insult to injury Hoka has the longest most ridiculous return process in 2026. 15 days from the day they confirm receipt for a refund and it's been weeks since I retuned the shoe and crickets. I don't care if they make the Hokey Pokey 3000 for $20.00, I will never purchase from them again. Bad customer service for an expensive but cheaply made brick. Colorway was cute though.

I've ordered several pairs of this iteration in wide - now that is not being offered. It would be nice to have sone of the bright fun colors in wide too - it's always a disappoint to see,a color you love only to find it is not available in wide width.

I am bummed to piggyback off other reviews and also agree they do not have the wonderful cushiony cloud feel the original Bondi 7's had. I will be exchanging them due to this :(

I need Bondi 7 in WIDE (Black/Rose Cream and Date Sugar/Date Syrup). Please update your offerings for WIDE width.

I bought Bondi 7 about 4 years ago in black/white. They are really worn out but I refuse to give them up. Thankfully, Bondi 7 came back and I am soooooo happy. I got the new blk/rose, the blue, and today got my blk/wht. 7.5 is the perfect fit my toes can wiggle. My knee says thank you! Now for summer colors on the bottom rubber area of the shoe - a turquoise color, shocking pink, bright orange, key lime bottom would be nice with a black/navy blue top for women. Thank you!

While it has the stability, I'm disappointed that it no longer has the cushion like they used to.

I love this shoe. The last time it was released I purchased 3 pairs. I would love to purchase another 3 or more, but need it in wide.

I was so excited that the bondi 7 came back. I am on my last pair from when I stocked up 2 years ago and I had the Bondi 8 and 9. But .. there is a difference. This Bondi 7 does not have the same "cushion" sole as the old bondi 7 and more importantly to me, this Bondi 7 is much wider than the original Bondi 7. This shoe kept slipping off my heal and I had to pull the laces real tight. I have had 5 pairs of the "old" Bondi 7 and this one is not the same. If you havea wider foot, it will probably be ok for you, if you don't mid the less cushion foot bed.

PLEASE bring back the bondi 8! This shoe is nothing like the bondi 8 (which is not for sale anymore) and I desperately am looking for a bondi 8 replacement. This has a narrow toe box, and it's shape is absolutely not like the bondi 8 :(

I've been ordering Bondi 7's for years. The most comfortable shoe ever, but need wide width, especially after recent foot surgery. Please also consider bringing back the color white in the Bondi 7. It's a very popular standard color.

Love that Hoka brought back the Bondi 7 model that I love and made many purchases of but I need wide sizing for my foot post foot surgery which requires a wide toe box. PLEASE bring back Bondi 7 with wide sizes!
