Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

I am happy that bondi 7 is back. i did not like bondi 8 's fit. I want to buy black wide 8.5

So glad to see that these are back!! Bondi 7 is the only shoe that I have found that fits the needs of me feet. Hoka, please, PLEASE, keep these as an option forever.

I was so happy to receive the new 'old' Bondi 7 sneakers. I hope you'll keep them in circulation. Otherwise, I doubt I'll buy anymore Hokas. I bought so many Bondi 8s ahead of when I needed them but they're so uncomfortable compared to the 7.

Was amazed to see Bondi 7 is back! Ordered them right away.

I was a die hard Asics wearer until couple years ago when I felt their product quality declined. I change my athletic shoes every 3 months. Hoka's hasn't disappointed me yet. I love every pair I've purchased.

Not as comfortable as the bondi 8 The arch support is not as good as bondi 8

My husband and I bought one each of the Bondi 7, his was Olive haze and mine was peach. My husband's shoes looks like dark gray than Olive and the peach color of mine was so light compared to the pictures. Everything else is fine, size, fit, comfort, quality but the colors are not the same as the pictures- just wanted to let everyone know. Not a deal breaker since they are comfortable.

Thank you so much for bringing the Hoka Bondi 7 back! So comfortable, makes for an easy 6 miles. I hope you keep on making them.

I prefer this Bondi over the 8. Because of the extra toe box room, you can wear thin or thick socks.

I have worn Hoka's since 2014 before they were cool. I was introduced to the bondi 4 at my local running store and they were the UGLIEST and most COMFORTABLE shoe I had ever worn. I stuck with the Bondi line as it progressed buying every new model including the 8. I hated the 8 as they changed the model and platform entirely. they gave me horrible knee pain and forced me back into my very old Bondi 7. I even tried a pair a Brooks which gave me heal pain after only 2 hours of in the house walking. I was gleeful when Steve at Run Moore in Westminster told me HOKA listened and re released the 7. My new shoes arrived yesterday and they continue to be amazing and now they are beautiful too. Please don't change the Bondi platform again. I'd much rather you introduce a new shoe and leave the Bondi line alone. Given the popularity of this shoe- others agree.

I'm on my feet for 12 hours a day and these are the most comfortable shoes ever!!! I'm so happy you brought them back(hopefully to stay)!! This is my 3rd pair and really hope you keep them available. I tried the Bondi 8 and they are not the same shoe. Not wide enough and unfortunately nothing like the Bondi 7. If you have foot pain and/or are on your feet all day, you have to try these

All time favorite shoes! Unfortunately Bondi 8's are too bulky looking. Glad that Bondi 7's are back but please offer more color options. My fav was Black iris ballad blue!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THESE SHOES!! THE BEST RUNNING SHOES I'VE EVER OWNED!! THE ONLY COMPLAINT I HAVE IS THE COLORS!! HATE THE PASTEL COLORS!! I WAS CONCIDERING BUYING AN EXTRA PAIR, JUST IN CASE THEY QUIT SELLING THE BONDI 7'S BUT WILL NOT BECAUSE OF THE COLORS! BRIGHT COLORS WOULD BE GREAT!!

I am so happy the bondi 7 came back. I run ~20 miles a week for the last 5-ish years and the first few years I had burned through a few Bondi 7s getting 400 miles in them easy. They were the perfect everyday running shoe, I absolutely love them and told everyone about it. Cushioning without being too soft, firm but not too hard, not too heavy, good rocker to pick up if needed. When the bondi 8 came out, I was excited for the newest model of my favorite shoe. However, the bondi 8 was just not as good. There was no rocker, the roll fell flat at the forefoot and after 50 miles they felt super flat and lost the cushion. It almost felt like they used a completely different foam for the sole, a cheap generic one too. I couldn't even get myself to run 250 miles in them. I never bought 2nd pair of Bondi 8 and moved to the Stinsons because they were the closest things to the 7s, more so than any other Hoka model. I essentially became a trail runner instead of a road runner because of the Bondi 8. Now the 7s are back!!! If you keep making them, I'll keep buying them!

I'm a walker, not a runner. I own an old pair and previous re-release of Bondi 7, plus a pair of Bondi 8. Bad ankle break with troublesome hardware made it difficult to find comfortable footwear that didn't cause foot, ankle, or knee pain. Bondi 7 recommended by a friend. Re-release Bondi 7: I ordered 6 wide, instead of my usual 6.5 regular width which was a bit too snug. Fit perfectly. Wider toe box feels good with no rubs or callouses. Length just right as wider shoes tend to be longer. Comfortable, supportive for walking on pavement. No foot, ankle, or knee pain wearing these. Compared to original Bondi 7, the cushion isn't as plush. It improved after a few weeks of wear, though still doesn't match my old 7's. Limited color selection. Baby blue is very pretty. Bondi 8: Good fit, also not as plush as original 7. Biggest con: Protruding heel. It catches when going down steps threatening to pitch me forward. I'm careful but regard them as unsafe on stairs or steps. Good for walking otherwise. Good variety of colors. Splayed sole is stable though unattractive, which doesn't matter if everything else is okay (husband calls them Daisy Duck shoes). Protruding heel is a deal-breaker though. Won't buy them again. Final take: Though I miss the plusher comfort of the originals, these are good too. Expensive but worth it. I ordered another pair today.

Not made the same soft insoles Not Wide Enough

I am so happy to get the Bondi 7 and get back to the old style. I bought the Bondi 8 a year ago and they were horrible from the start. I trusted the name and the Bondi I had bought for years. Big mistake. They fell apart and have worn down on back of heel. I looked everywhere for the old style but no luck. Wish you had them in bright colors like before and that's why only 4 stars. Faithful Customer

Bondi 7 is the best & most luxuriously cushioned athletic shoe I've ever had. I am thrilled that Hoka has brought it back. I hope it's back to stay--and, like other reviewers, I hope that it gets some some of its classic color schemes back (Blue Fog/Ombre Blue was my all-time favorite).

I've always worn the Clifton and Rincon. I really like the Clifton but the Rincon didn't provide enough support for all day wear. I decided to try the Bondi 8. I really wanted to love them but they weren't comfortable and the wide toe box made my feet look huge! When the Bondi 7 became available I thought they might be better than the 8's and I was right! I absolutely love these shoes!! Please bring them back permanently!!

I agree with other reviewers who have said that the Bondi 7 is a much better shoe than the Bondi 8. The Bondi 7 solved all of my foot issues. Unfortunately, the Bondi 8 brought them all back and I have been in search of a replacement shoe ever since......... Please please please keep making the Bondi 7. I have been lost without them. And as others have said, please bring back more interesting colors. If you keep making them, you will have a customer for life.

I hope u have this shoe FOREVER!!!! I am not a fan of the bondi 8 it is a completely different shoe from the 7. This shoe fits me perfectly and I can wear it all day. PLEASE keep a version of this in wide, in a 10.5, in stock til I no longer need them. PLEASE and Thank you!!!

I love the shoes. I have bondi8 and bobdi7. The 7 has a larger toe box, and feels more accommodating all around. They feel like air actually gets through and I get a cooling sensation. The only odd thing, is, I ordered a white pair of the Bondi7, but, they are the weirdest color. Soft blue in some light, white-ish in others.. almost a lilac in other light. Not horrible, but not a straight up white that I expected.

I'm new to the Bondi line. After many rave reviews from friends & co-workers I decided to give them a try. I purchased 2 pairs, the Bondi 8 and the Bondi 7. I wore the Bondi 8 for 4 weeks before changing to the Bondi 7 for 4 weeks. Absolutely and irrevocably, the Bondi 7 is the far superior shoe. My only issue with the Bondi 7 is limited color selection. While the color selections of the Bondi 8 are great, sadly, that's all that is. If the Bondi 7 does not return I will not return as a customer.

Please get more colors for women Bondi 7!!!

I have 6 pairs of Hoka's, different styles and nothing compares to the Bondi 7. I woke up to an email this morning Stating that the Bondi 7 is back for a limited time. I jumped on it as fast as I could, because I know in a short time they will be sold out. Even though I have other Hoka's, Nothing compares to the Bondi 7. Hands down, I've been wearing my old ones for 3 yrs now and my others still sitting in the closet all pretty but not as comfortable. Thanks for bringing them back, hopefully keeping them and adding new colors. #LoveMyHokas #HokaGirlForLife #LisaJohnson
