Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

I love these shoes and was heartbroken when they stopped making them. The Bondi 8s aren't the same - they are too wide in the forefront of the foot. I have a bad knee and hip and these provide wonderful cushioning. I have multiple pairs and hope they will continue to make them.

I was thrilled to see the Bondi 7 available again, Bondi 8 didn't work for me at all. The 7 gets 5 stars for comfort but it lost a star because it's gotten so noisy. These are actually the 3rd pair of Bondi 7's in white that I have ordered directly from Hoka (keeping these for a spare). My first two were different colors bought in a local store, I now have a grand total of five pairs of Bondi 7:s (one of the best versions of Bondi's ever)! Keep making them but figure out why they've gotten so noisy.

Recently I saw the Bondi 7 was available for a limited time and I was thrilled. I have 4 pairs of Hoka shoes. Three Bondi 7 and one Bondi 8. The Bondi 7's are to me the best fit and design. The Bondi 8 has a very wide fit at the front making me feel like I'm walking on a platypus. The Bondi 7 however has a more narrow sole and doesn't feel clumsy to walk in. I would buy additional Bondi 7's but wouldn't purchase the Bondi 8's again.

I am a physical therapist who has had previous surgery on both feet in 1993. After all these years, I found Bondi 7s. WOW. Game changer for me! No longer need to wear orthotics with these. Walking on clouds! Bought Bondi 8's. My feet were killing me for the few days I wore them. Had to return. My coworker has had the same problem. Not as much cushion in forefoot. Maybe the wider toe box does not offer enough support? I was able to purchase 2 pairs of 7's on the day they brought them back. One is on back order. Please bring them back so I can order more. I am hoping Bondi 9's will be more like the 7's. I refer Hoka to my patients!

I currently wear the Bondi 7 but they are a year or two old so I needed another pair. I was thrilled to see that Hoka brought back the 7 temporarily. However, they are not as roomy in the toe area as my old Bondi 7s. I also tried the Clifton 9 and they were perfect so I returned the Bondi 7s.

Pleeeeease pleeeease pleeeeease restock these!!! I need more! And while you're at it, please bring back cool colors!

I love the design of Bondi 7 because it offers better support along the sides of the mesh material. The choice of colors was not good at all.

7s are my faaaavorite!!! I have several pairs & when they went away I bought an 8. Big difference for me & I don't like them as much. I just saw the email that the 7s are back!!!!! But I'm bummed bc I missed them- they're sold out :( Pleeeeeease bring them back in fun colors!!!

Wonderful to have the Bondi 7 back again. Thank you Hoka for bringing them back. I love the new colors. I prefer these new more subtle colorss. It feels like there is more room in the toe box which is great.

Thank goodness the Bondi 7 was resurrected and I was able to grab a pair before they sold out. Shouldn't that tell the company something, how quickly this style sold? I bought ice blue this time, a softer color that the bright orange or turquoise available in previous years. I love the understated color. And what can I say about the fit and comfort? If they weren't great, these shoes wouldn't be so popular. Ordering, shipping and delivery time were all easy and issue-free.

Reason I ordered Bondi 7 I prefer the less wide/clunky heal. Wish they'd go back to that style for future Bondi 9's. But I do like the tongue attachment to the inner side (Bondi 8) so that is my suggestions for Bondi 9return to narrower heal (like the 7's) PLUS the tongue attachment (Bondi 8) !!! Let's do: 7 + 8 = 9 Bondi

This particular shoe is perfect for me: the newer Bondi NOT so much. I would love to be able to keep buying the Bondi 7... they went so fast I was only able to get the one pair. I really would like a blue one if they become available in size 9. I thought I ordered a black one but maybe not available because never received or billed for same...... My feet LOVE the 7

So happy you brought back Bondi 7. By far my favorite!

Was very excited to see a re-release of the Bondi 7, even if it's a limited time release. I've been wearing Bondi running shoes since 2017 on the advice of my foot surgeon. I love the fit and plush cushioning. I would love to see an original Bondi design be available always, the new design of the Bondi & Clifton do not fit my foot as well and aren't nearly as comfortable they are both too wide and the Bondi 8 does not fit true to size like past designs. . For that matter please reach back in to the archives and bring back the Akasa & Tivra. There are a lot of us non runners out there who where Hoka on advice of doctors, want a really comfortable shoe or just a fun one. But some of the new redesigns are not suitable for everyday wear. And I realize you began as a trail running shoe, and cater to distance runners, but there are a lot of us out there who wear them in everyday life and just want a great shoe. I myself have a stock pile of Hokas to fit my outfit and mood. Definitely recommend the Bondi 7 over the 8

When I am wearing them I feel like nothing is on my feet.

I feel the Clifton 9 fits me better but the Bondi is OK but I will be purchasing another pair of Clifton 9 soon.

I absolutely love these shoes! The interiors are very soft yet supportive, and really helps my Achilles tendinitis. Grate for walking, traveling, and every day wear. They're also super trendy and stylish!

I love the Bondi 7. First, they are so comfortable! They have a roomy toe box - I tried the wides but they were too wide. I have a big foot (11) and the Bondi 7 looks so much smaller than the Bondi 8. I'm so glad I was able to get one during the re-release!

The newer Bondi 8's has a broader heel than the 7's which l prefer.

The cushion is great! I use these for every day wear as well as walking my dogs 2-3 miles per day.

Great support and energetic thrives

everything about the bondi 7 made me fall in love with it, comfort, toe box size, overall design, cushioning, large toe box. Tried Bondi 8 and did not like it. IF the design stays the same with the narrow toe box and current fit, will have to change the style and manufacture. Want the bondi 7 to remain on the market..
