Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

Very low heel. I was surprised at how uncomfortable these were. Bummed as the reviews were so great. Thank you Zappos for your great return policy!

I thought this was a great shoe...at first. But they stretch out so much. First I ordered a 7 (which is my normal running shoe size) and quite quickly (but after wearing outside) I realized they were too big. Luke foot sloshing around big. So I took me on the chin and ordered another pair in a half size smaller. At first they felt great. Super support. But now after about a month of wearing they have really stretched out and just aren’t comfortable for running anymore as there is too much wiggle room everywhere. Has anyone else experienced this??

I’ve heard great things about this shoe, but for me the arch was too high. I normally wear minimalist shoes and needed something with more cushion for a health issue. They have a nice, wide toe box, though and were otherwise comfortable.

I have always been pleased with the Bondi 6 no issues at all and the width in the regular was perfect. However when purchasing the Bondi 7 the width (reg) is definitely narrow and the cushioning is not quite as plush as the Bondi 6! If only I could get the Bondi 6 in the Black and white I would revert back to Bondi 6 (I have them in other colours already)!

I tried the Bondi 6 and loved them. They were instantly comfortable with great support but they were too big. I sent them back and waited too long to order a half size smaller because they were no longer available. I decided to try Bondi 7 thinking they would be similar but the width was so narrow they hurt immediately when I tried them on. I'm happy Zappos is so patient but now I have to start all over to find a comfortable walking shoe.

At the suggestion of a Zappo's rep, I tried this shoe as i am now walking outside on the road rather than indoors on a treadmill. I usually where Nike's. I don't have a full length mirror and I couldn't see them until I got in the elevator. Whoa, they were very bulky looking but I would forgo style for a good walking experience They felt okay in the apartment but once I started walking on the pavement outdoors, it felt like I had huge snow shoes on. These were so wide and heavy, you had to almost push yourself to propel forward. I felt like i was slogging through mud. By the time i was halfway through my normal route, I was exhausted just from trying to lift my feet. I'd say 'if big foot needed a running shoe, this would be the one. " This is way too much shoe for me.

like boats on my feet, but comfortable

I wanted to love these Hoka Bondi one one 7 . I mean why wouldn't I? I have been wearing my Hoka Bondi One One 6's for a while and love them. How could they make them better, let's See.... so I ordered the Bondi 7 and I am so disappointed. They are less cushioned and more stability , I guess. I found them hard, not as comfy as my bondi . 6. I don't see any improvement with this new version.

This is my second pair of these. When I received this pair I put them away in the closet because i was still wearing the first pair. I was saving them for when the first pair wore out. When I started wearing the second pair I noticed they were not as comfy as the first. In fact they actually hurt my feet and felt like they were totally different. I wish I had tried them on right when they came, it's way to late to send back now-months later.. I have tried to break them in but that isn't working either. My foot turns in and I believe these were made wrong. Maybe these were seconds or knock offs!!! My fault for not trying them on sooner.

I have worn Hoka Bondi shoes for years and have always loved them... Until Bondi 7. I felt like I was continually stepping on the outside edge of the shoe and had to constantly adjust my foot to keep from stepping on it. Finally I thought maybe I just needed a wide, so I exchanged for that but it did the exact same thing...even though I had plenty of room. I don't know what they changed from Bondi 6 to Bondi 7, but I don't like it. I've spoken with two other people who have Bondi 7 shoes and they say the same thing so it's not just me.

completely confined the bridge of my foot making them sore after 1 hr of use when I stand and walk at work 8 hrs straight. Never try this style again, not for me.
