Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

Love the dark navy color and the support for running.

My initial feel for the size was that it was tight...but by the second day the fit was perfect. Arch support is great. I'm using them for walking as I have a narrow heel and a wide ball of my foot - they offer a lot of support...I really like the look, and the material is comfortable, and it breathes. I am very happy with this purchase.

I've fought bouts of plantar fasciitis on and off for years. I read about Hoka's and decided to give them a try. So far I'm pleased with the support. I ordered my normal size 8.5 M and the fit is perfect.

I tried this because Clifton 8 is still out of stock. Not as good, it has the arch support but my feet feels higher up on the shoe, not a food fit, and a little heavy and chunky. I would not buy this again.

This is an incredibly comfortable and supportive shoe. I have plantar fasciitis issues and this shoe really works for me. I do recommend downsizing by 1/2 a size. I originally ordered a 7 1/2 and had to return them for a 7. Love this shoe… it’s worth the money.

I really wanted to like these after all I'd heard about them. I do like the way they look. But it wasn't like walking on a cloud, for me anyway. I wanted a pair to help me fight a start of plantar fasciitis. The left one fits all right. Not quite as comfortable as I expected though. The right one rubs on the right side of my foot and my little toe. The 7 I ordered at first did that so thought I'd try a 6.5. Sadly, it does the same thing. I only used it on a treadmill hoping I could break it in. No luck. Had to return.

Love the shoe but did not live the color. I returned it for a different color.

They fit like a glove and feel like walking on marshmallow clouds! I stand and walk all day and they really keep a bounce in my step. I get so many compliments on these shoes and I love them! I normally buy wide but these mediums are perfect!

I have never liked athletic shoes but they are necessary equipment for exercise. I replaced the insoles with an insole that has arch support. The insoles were easy to remove. I purchased 1/2 size up from my usual size. I might have been ok with the normal size. These are very comfortable. I'm very happy.

And. Yes you want Hokas if you want to run on pillows. A tad on the heavy side. Sometimes you just want a break from "hard core" and these fit the bill. I love them for walking as well.

These shoes are so comfortable. The toe box is roomy and the arch support is wonderful. I am on my feet 11 hours a day and these shoes are great. I used to wear Brooks Adrenaline GTS. But after numerous changes to their shoes, they are no longer the comfortable Quality shoe I need to stand for long hours. These Hoka shoes are my new go to’

I’m amending my previous review. After wearing these shoes for a period of I noticed they were too large if I wore thinner socks when it was warm outside when I took my walks. The biggest issue for me was that my toes (two smallest) began to hurt/burn at the end of my walks. I usually walk between 2 to 3 miles per day. I was disappointed because I like the cushion these shoes provide. I don’t have this issue with my other athletic (NB) shoes that are 9.5 B.

they were a little narrow in the toe box. I returned and bought the Wide size.

I bought these to change up with my New Balance 840's for my daily 3-5 mile walks. I like the cushioning the Hoka Bondi provides, but I feel like the shoe is a little longer than the size 12 I normally buy in the New Balance brand. This is my first pair of Hoka's. The toe box is very generous and that could be why I feel like the shoe is a bit long but I can't go down a half size because it isn't available. The arch support is very moderate in the Hoka, so I put an orthotic in that helps support my arches better (I have high arches). I think the best thing about this shoe is the thick sole that gives a nice cushy bounce to my walks. I like the material they are made of and the dark color is nice (navy) since my feet are large ;-). The laces don't slip once you tie them, an issue I've had with some shoe laces. Overall, this is a very good shoe.

I’m a big HOKA fan these did not disappoint super comfortable excellent support feels like I’m walking/running on a cloud-shoe

These leggings fit beautifully. I wear a size 16 pants and I ordered an extra large. They are comfortable, the cotton is so soft. I do not like The feel of tight spandex, so I ordered these because of their cotton blend. They are so very comfortable I cannot say it enough! They are fashionable and they are also long enough. Mini leggings I order hit above my ankle and are never long enough. These are a perfect length. I’m going to order a second pair before they run out!

I needed the Bondi L model.

Very good and these shoes helped to heal my achy foot! I’m thankful !

The Bondi 7 is a bit bulky. The shoe profile is large. The shoe seemed to run a little narrow . I have worn out 2 pairs of Hoka over the years but I'm still hunting for one that compares to the old ones.

On my feet a lot during the day at work very comfortable

Addicting!

I normally wear size 9, but go up half a size for walking shoes. These are comfortable and cushy enough, but still run narrow where the curve of the footbed starts towards the toes, pushing the toes together too much. Got tired of ordering shoes online and sending them back, many of them different sizes, trying to guess. Best is to go into a store and talk to a knowledgeable shoe person at REI and try different sizes on. Found my dream walking shoes, by Altra.

Love them so far. The all black I ordered looks a little too “orthotic-y” but I really don’t care.

I wear these with two sets of gel insoles and they are perfect for my sore feet.
