I am narrow but take a medium in sneakers. Upon trying these they already felt like squeezing my toes on the outer side of the shoe. How will bunions be able to adapt in this shoe it doesn't feel flexible. Plus it is not flexible underfoot as you walk -like a solid block & does not bend when you walk, making walking feel awful. Am very disappointed.

When compared to the Bondi 6 the 7 was not as comfortable. The front part of the shoe did not provide the same support or cushioning that the Bondi 6 did.

I have arthritis in big toe and need a wide toe box. I love my Cliftons in 7W, but the Bondis squeezed my toes too much-even though I ordered a 7Wide. It's funny because those folks with hallux rigidus love the Bondis, but not for me. Sadly, I will be returning. Good looking shoe, though

This is a sad post. I have been a die hard Hoka Bondi fan for years I have thousands of dollars in these shoes. Unfortunately based on the new structure, they no longer fit wide even when purchasing wide. The rigid material shorten the height in the instep area.

After reading all of the hype regarding the quality and comfort of these shoes, I am very disappointed. Although I purchased the correct size, both of my shoes are painful at the top of the laces. I tried loosening the laces, but the shoes were too loose and slipped up and down, causing heel blisters. Am very unhappy with the Hoka brand

Living in Seattle, the 7s are more durable and hearty for NW running. Don't care that the 7s aren't as light since they last 3x as long as the 8s. Because of the 8s attached tongue, cheaper/smaller heel grip, much shorter heal cup, and color that easily rubs off off on the sides of the shoes, won't be buying another 8. Just bought two 7s in colors I hate and not in wides (which I'll really do need) to save for the future. Don't know what I'll do after that. Thought I'd found THE shoe after going through several 7s and other shooed after the last 30 years. Please bring them back!!!

These shoes are expensive. This is my second pair. Still have my first pair. Only had these 5 months and the inside heel actually has holes on one shoe and the other is starting to tear. Not worth the money!!!!

After wearing my hokas for only a month or two, the back of the ankle in both shoes has gotten holes in them and wore tearing into my ankle and can do longer wear them. For the price of the shoe, they should hold up better than this. I did not wear them any more or done anything different with them than any other shoe I own.

The shoe is coming unattached from the sole after wearing only once. This is my second pair of hokas. I was very impressed with the first pair, but for the price I feel like the quality of this pair is very poor.

My first 2 days of wearing I developed a blister at the large toe. Since wearing the shoes my shin muscles cramp. The cramping wakes me up at night. 5 years of working 12 hour shifts and these have been the most uncomfortable shoes. I have heard great recommendations from co-workers but they are not the shoes for me.

Love all of my Bondi 6s -- why did they change the 7s? Less cushion, much more narrow across the widest part of foot, stiff and reduced arch support. With ongoing knee and toe issues, my 6s allowed me pain-free walking and exercise. The 7s slip on my heel, are too narrow, and lack the feeling of stability I have come to rely on. Kept one of the pairs I ordered due to needing them for work, but I have been wearing my old ones most days. I'll try another type of Hokas to see if something else will provide what I need, but very disappointed that my go-to Bondis have changed.

Returned. I ordered size 7.5. They sent me a size 7 pair of used shoes in a box marked 7.5. What in the world has happened to Zappos?

It was a spendy purchase for me. I only work them a few days. My plantar fasciitis got worse. Now I'm out the money I spent on these.

I wore the Bondi 7 shoes one time. They gave support where none was needed so it felt like every step I took I was walking over a large stone. By the time my 8 hr shift was over, I almost had blisters. They were lightweight though and that was nice.

Horrific. First I was sent shoes in a generic box which means they were probably used. Second I disregarded the online chatter about blistering and ordered anyway. The. Worst. Running Shoe. Ever. By mile five, I could feel the entire arch side of my right foot blistering up. By the end of the run the left foot had started too and it was crippling effort to continue. I stopped and adjusted my orthotic over the area. That didn't help. The original discomfort started near the arch then spread to the entire inside of the foot, even expanding to the front upper. A blistery, rubbing discomfort that felt like one more mile and you will be bleeding. I have no idea what is inside this last, but it is not right for running. You would have to be wearing the thickest socks ever made and tape your feet off to wear these. I have never ever had a shoe do this before. I am not willing to risk the HOKA upper on my feet ever again. Terrible experience. Returning.

My orthopedic foot and ankle doctor recommended these for my hammertoe and Morton's Neuroma. Not only has that pain been greatly reduced, but also my hip pain. I feel like I'm walking on a cloud. The shoe has improved my gait and balance.

This style was recommended for plantar fasciitis. The sole is completely flat offering NO arch support. My feet are worse after wearing them than they were without! I would not purchase again!

Wanted to love these sneakers. I ended up ordering two sizes but they have no arch support. I have high arches and they didn't work for me. It seemed like the support was on the flat side of the foot ?
