Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

I was so excited to try this product. I work in the hospital - 12 hour shifts and also, walk/jog on the treadmill 2-3 times a week. I did my research - Bondi 7 vs Bondi 8. Based on the reviews, it appears to be the better choice. Oh my goodness. I understand there is a period of where you have to give the shoe an opportunity to mold to your feet as far as being a stiff new pair but man! Maybe 10-15 min into a walkmy left foot - I started to feel pain in my ankle and my right foot, the inner arch started to hurt. I tried it again the next day, same problem. I REALLY WANTED to like them but they are just not worth the wait to see if it will get better.

This is my 3rd pair of Hoka's. I love the bondi 7 THE BEST (I have 2 pairs of those) These are the ONLY shoe that helps ease and eliminate my hip and back pain!

Such a comfortable walking shoe. I would keep buying Bondi 7 as it is the best of all the Bondi models.

I have had two failed back surgeries and I live in chronic pain so it's very important that I wear a good shoe. I usually wear Sketchers BUT as I'm taking a trip to Europe this year and will be doing a lot of walking a friend recommended 'Hoka'. After thinking about it for months I decided to go for it and order a pair. I work as a cashier at a grocery store so I stand for 8 hours a day. I thought I would try them for work . I was in so much pain by the end of the day that I couldn't wait to take them off. I find them to be very heavy. At first they were comfortable but as the hours went by my feet were hurting more and more. I really wanted to love these. They are very expensive and I'm unable to return them because I wore them for 8 hours. I should have known better to try a new brand. I'm very disappointed.

I find the Bondi 8 uncomfortable so I was beyond excited when I saw that Hoka was bringing out the Bondi 7 again. For over a year, I all but slept in my Bondi 7 due to various foot and ankle injuries. Everything else hurt my feet so I was desperate to buy more of these shoes. But the 7s I ordered recently are nothing like the old ones. The foot bed is so much harder without that cushion that Hokka is famous for. I took a casual 15 minute walk and was practically limping by the time I got back home. I sent them back and doubt I will order from Hoka again unless they come out with a totally different shoe that is really gentle for sensitive feet. :(

I'm on my 4th pair of HOKA'S now - 2 pairs have been the Bondi 7, and 2 pairs have been Clifton's. Without a doubt, my favorites are the Bondi 7's. They are the most comfortable for my feet, and I've been able to wear them right out of the box. They don't have to be "broken in" at all. Thanks for bringing back my favorite Bondi!

I walk and stand for work and find the Bondi 7's very comfortable and supportive. The design is much better than the Bondi 8's for my purposes. I don't think the new Bondi 7's are as cushioned as the original version, but I still like them better than the 8's.

I love my Bondi 7. Have multiple pairs on Hoka and LOVE the 7

I had tried the Bondi several years ago and found it too soft, I always preferred the Clifton. Now after ankle surgeries my plantar faciaitis has returned so a friend recommended I try the Bondi again. They feel more supportive than earlier releases, so far they seem to help. Always a Hoka fan!

Love my new shoes! Absolutely love the fit, the spacious toebox is so comfortable. I would definitely recommend this Bondi 7. I ordered my usual size 9 and the fit is perfect. I will use for 3-4 mile walks 5 days a week.

So disappointed in Bondi 8 so I was pleased to get again this one!

You cannot imagine how happy I am to get my HOKA w the sole that fits the shoe, no protruding heel! My feet are enormous so nothing that makes them bigger please. Another problem w having big feet is packing them in a suitcase. Also this shoe is true to my typical HOKA women's size 10.5 Medium.

I started wearing the Bondi 7 for outdoor walking and gym training. I find it great for both. When it was discontinued I went to the Bondi 8. Functionally I found both to be equally good. However, I much prefer the look of the Bondi 7, and I was happy when they brought it back. I would keep it and with more colors!

Best HOKA shoe to date! Glad they re-released this model again. Has a thicker fabric than the Bondi 8. Love the classic colors. Not all of us want a bright shoe that you can see from space! More of the classic colors, please! Bring Bondi 7 back for good!

Blondi sevens fit my foot so well, I am so sad to see them gone.

I'm so glad you brought this shoe back! The Bondi 8 was too narrow but decided to exchange this gray one for a gray wide. I also got a blue pair of Bondi 7 wides. Thank you!!

I am so thrilled that the Bondi 7 is back. They fit so much better than the Bondi 8, which felt noticeably wider in the toe area, to the point that I often felt like I was tripping over my own feet! So happy to have my Bondi 7 back on my feet so I walk comfortably and safely. I just wish that they had been available in my size in black. However, the light grey are very nice too.

I love these shoes so much, I tried the bondi 8 not even comparable. I refuse to purchase the bondi 8 due to how amazing these 7 were. The moment I saw they brought them back I immediately got myself a pair, I might honestly have to buy another just in case they disappear again.

Great shoe very comfortable,since I'm on my feet 8 hours a day walking helping customers ;very comfortable. Love the cushion and the style is awesome I might get a second pair on a different color

Tried to love the 8 just can't . Thank you for bringing back the 7! Please make the 7 in the pretty pastel colors that you have the Bondi 8 in. Pretty please?????

Bondi 7 are so much cushiony and comfortable than the 8. I did not have to have break in the 7 at all! Tried the 8 and they were firmer and harder in the bottom. Keep the 7 in stock!!!

I absolutely love these shoes my feet my legs and my back do not hurt. Every other shoe that I have tried to wear just kills me I would definitely buy over and over and over

Great fit and comfort. Love the color.
