Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

I initially bought these shoes because I was having severe foot pain. I researched and talked to others. They came highly recommended. I even went to a specialty running store to be fitted before ordering. At first I was very pleased. I am a mother of 8 and on my feet all day and my foot pain was nearly eliminated by wearing these. However, in the last 2 weeks it seems the structure of the shoe has failed. The left one squeaks with every step and both are causing very painful callouses on the inside of my foot near the big toe. I'm very disappointed that they did not last more than 3 months. The cost of the shoe was a big stretch for us (see the part about having 8 kids) and I definitely do not feel like I got my moneys worth. If you can afford to buy new ones every 2 months or you don't plan to wear them daily they are a great shoe. Otherwise, I'd suggest you keep looking.

I wear these every day. They are comfortable. But the cushions in the heel backs are squishy. Every time I put them on I have to push the soft stuff up. But when I slide my feet in, m to heels push the ER stuff down again. Bondi 6 was better. And Bondi 5.

The cushion is great, giving great padding between my sole and the sidewalk. I wore through a pair of regular width, but with sad calluses on my big toe, so I tried the same size in wide. While there was a bit more room across the ball of my foot and for my little toe, the curve at the big toe doesn't actually fit well with foot anatomy as it pushes the big toe in. I would much rather sacrifice that pretty curved look at the toes and be able to have my big toe sit straight. It could still be attractive and work with foot anatomy, Hoka. So off to test out other brands.

Last time o bought size 7 w which was too big this time I bought 6.5 W the fitting on the sole of my foot is not comfortable, it looks like it is not fit correctly. I still have proble finding my fit.

I love HOKA shoes but this one it's not that comfortable compare to my favorite Clifton 8 ! Thanks

The tongue kills the top of my right foot. It's not my shoelaces, and I've had Bondi's before. Fix this for the 8's please!

Ran in these 6 times. The tongue slipped down after 10-15 minutes like slippery.stopped redid shoes numerous times and tongue slipped each & every time I wore them.

I was so excited about these shoes. I've been contemplating purchasing these for months. I walk a lot, about 12,000 steps or around 6 miles daily. In my search for the most comfortable walking shoes, I kept hearing about HOKA. Finally, I purchased my first pair and I was underwhelmed. I have big feet so I expected the shoes to be big, but these are huge! They are so bulky and awkward. The cushion in the sole is nice but the insole rubs on the inside of my arch, eventually causing a blister. I will probably have to replace the insole if I want to keep using these. I am a bit disappointed because these do not solve for my ultimate goal of helping me meet my walking goals and they definitely weren't cheap.

It felt very comfortable out of the box and certainly plush padding. However, I have extremely flat feet and experiences pretty strong arch pain within the first 15 minutes of wearing it on a walk. I wore it for a total of 2 hours on the walk and did have discomfort on my archs, but no blisters, rubbing or hot spots. Just not for me. I'm trying other HOKA shoes with more support and we'll see!

I want a shoe that I can run/walk 5 miles at a time. The plush inside is perfect but I need a wide toe box. I get a callus on the side of my second toe facing the big toe on both feet. I was told to buy a wide width but I have skinny feet. I did buy a wide width Once and the shoe was too big so I love the plush but hate the narrow toe box.

I like the color and style. The toe box is too narrow I wish it was wider.

They sure are comfortable, just what I needed after my ankle bone fusion . Only drawback is that I hear them crunch from sides.

Too wide, wish it had more cushioning. They do work for my foot pain, cancelled my appt for cortisone shot, thats a good thing!

I use the shoes five days a week to do intense workouts. It's a great show but it seems to be half a size too big. I feel there is just too much wiggle room at the base.
