Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

I am a pharmacy tech that stands on concrete 8 hours a day-every day. I LOVED the Bondi 7, but was ticked when it was discontinued. The Bondi 8 is horrible. Imagine my utter shock and excitement when I opened my email one morning to the 7 returning. Add to cart QUICKLY! After I received them, I knew they were the OG 7, and went to order another color-SOLD OUT. Hoka, the people have spoken-bring back the 7 and leave it!!!!!

I was so excited to get the email stating the Bondi 7's were back! Thanks for listening to the consumer!!! My feet, knees, hips and back are so happy to be back in the 7s. This style should be a staple, but I purchased two pair just in case.

I typically do not even wear a wide, but these shoes are soooo uncomfortable. I had them replaced with a wide and that didn't help in the slightest. I'm unable to return them because they were exchanged. These were not worth the money. I got these to wear on my commute to work and I feel frustrated even before getting into the office.

The Bondi 7 feels more supportive and have a lot more room in the toe box than the Bondi 8. I was so happy to be able to snag a pair of these while they were out. I do agree, though that the cushion feels to be not as much for some reason. That being said, the toe box is amazing and I would purchase again. Please bring back the Bondi 7. or do a better job in the toe box in the Bond 9 whenever they come out.

a few yrs ago I thought my first Bondi 7. Love them. Never hurt my feet. Then hoka discontinued. Tried Gaviota and hurt my feet for weeks til broken in. Not enough cushion. Recently ordered Clifton 9. Those are okay. My right foot has an issue in those. Ordered the Bondi 8 and nope. Too wide and no cushion. The new Gaviota are wide too. Both look like bozo feet. Nope nope nope. THEN these were brought back as a special drop two weeks ago and OMG I ordered three pair. I LOVE THESE so much and appreciate even more since I was forced to be without. Cannot wait for the next drop. I tried to order another black pair just now and they are already sold out. My doctor recommended these as my foot therapist. I'm on my feet for work ten hrs a day five days a week. There are no better than these. I look forward to the next limited time drop as I cannot live without this style. I wish you would listen to you're customers and keep this style permanently.

I may be mixing my metaphorical fairytale ladies, but after trying nearly a half dozen styles of Hokas determined to get the perfect shoe this is the one that fits just right! It has just the right amount of cushion and support! Not too firm, not too marshmallowy. Not too wide (like the Gaviota 5), not too narrow (Clifton 9). Juuuuust right! I can see why they are now *completely sold out* after what I think was less than 2 wks of being released. WOW! A testament to a truly great product sold out! I went back to order another pair & they're not available. I signed up to be notified when "the next drop" hits. < 3 Thank you, Hoka! I will say I have wide feet - like Birkis feel normal to me, wide. And these fit me great. They may be ever so slightly longer than I'd expect a 7.5 to be, but not so long that I'm tripping or having any issues at all with walking in them. I am keeping the pink and the black pair I got & will order more when they're available.

Bondi 7 is the only shoe for me! The 8s just don't work for me. I was so happy to see them back and ordered two pair! They just arrived today, great as ever. I wear wide. I am so happy to get them again. Whew! They are gone again. Please listen to us and make them available all the time. Don't mess with a good design. Pretty please!

I love Bondi 7 (wide) shoes. They are very comfortable. Please make more in darker colors (navy, brown, grey, olive, etc.). I have several pairs in lighter various colors. I do not like Bondi 8 shoes which were uncomfortable when walking.

I love these Hoka's !! Feel awesome on my feet. The color is perfect

I have own 4 pairs of Bondi 7. I wear them for work & exercise. I tried the Bondi 8 and was unable to wear them comfortably. I just discovered Bondi 7 here today and promptly bought 2 pair & wish I could have bought 4 ! Please please keep making the Bondi 7!!

I've been babying my last pair of Bondi 7s and only brought them out of rotation for a couple marathons. I had ordered the grey pair and they are NOT the same. First of all, the reeked like gasoline or very strong glue. Second, my older Bondi 7s had an actual memory foam collar, this pair just had a regular foam collar that felt much cheaper and didn't have the same amount of support. I had to return these because they're not the same 7s that I loved.

I have the Bondi 7 I bought 2 years ago in blk/wht - I must have bought at the end of their cycle because when I went back for another pair they brought in the Bondi 8 which I absolutely hated - they didn't feel as structured as the 7 they felt softer and the style sucked. I just bought the Bondi 7 they brought back in harbor mist - now at least I have blk & harbor - I would love to have two other colors but there's only pink and blue which are just ok. I want to have at least 4 pairs to switch around so I'll cross my fingers they bring in more colors - I bought 7.5 wide

Thank you, thank you for bringing these back! There isn't another shoe that even compares to the comfort of the Bondi 7. I am a hairdresser. I stand on my feet all day, every day. Before Hoka, I would go home every night crying from pain in my feet, back , and legs. Tried a pair of Bondi 7's pain was GONE! When the Bondi 7's got discontinued, I had to get the Bondi 8's. They are a great shoe, I'm just not in love with the Bondi 8. Bondi 7's will forever have my heart. The past couple of weeks I've been searching other brands for a shoe similar to the Bondi 7's with no luck. Today, I received a text message from Hoka, Bondi 7's were back. Fastest purchase I have ever made! Thank you HOKA!

Finally, the Bondi 7 is back! I was hopeful that the color selection for women would be a little bit better! It would be nice to have darker colors available for women, as well. They are my favorite sneaker so I did order a pair and I'm waiting for them to arrive. Thank you for bringing them back. I hope they stay!!!!!!!!

I don't know what y'all are talking about but I like the bondi 7. I have two pair, and I love them both. I also have a pair of bondi 8, no comparison to the bondi 7. Bondi 7 beats them all when it comes to running or walking. I just went for a 6 mile walk this morning with the first pair that I have and still no issues, soft as pillows. Hoka is my go to for any type of shoe.

I love version 7 of the Bondi. Had so many foot problems, tried so many shoes, and the 7s helped me stay active before surgery and during the recovery. Thank you for bringing these back! I do wish the colors were better. Colors for men are much better, and Hoka isn't the only company guilty of this. Please ditch the pastels and give women's shoes some darker, "less lady-like" options!

Bondi 7 is so much better designed compared to Bondi 8 because Bondi 8 has too much curvy design on middle part of your feet. It narrows around the middle part of the feet. I feel Bondi 7 is more comfortable because it's not too narrowly designed compare Bondi 8. Could you please bring more color options for Bondi 7 wide?
