They are going back. I bought a pair a year and a half ago they were fantastic, comfortable, cushy, really perfect. I stand all day at work. About six months ago I thought I should get another pair because the first ones were getting worn out- horrible. but I made the mistake of wearing them to work, so I couldn't send them back. ordered another pair... same thing horrible. Not comfortable, not cushy I can't wear them, they are going back. It seems like they changed whatever material they used for the soles and they are now very rigid, no cushiony spring anymore. To bad the others Bondi 6 what I am wearing from two years ago.

The tow bed has so much room and that is what I need. Finally a shoe that gives me plenty of width!! Lots of cushioning and just all-around feels great. Can’t wait to go do my 4 mile walks again.

They feel a bit like I'm wearing pontoons, however they are very comfortable and I like how they look. They make my feet feel springy".

I've been a Bondi fan since Bondi 4. I bought 5 pairs of Bondi 6, fearing that my size (13 wide) would go out of stock. Sadly, Bondi 7 doesn't live up to the amazing Bondi 6.
First, the good news. The cushioning is still very good, almost as good as the Bondi 6.
But there are two issues for me: 1. The top of the shoe at the ball of the foot seems to be cut narrower than in earlier versions. 2. And the bigger problem, made worse by the narrow cut, is that the tongue is quite uncomfortable. I've been trying various solutions, like loosening the laces, but nothing has worked so far. The tongue of a shoe is important, and it's strange to me that a company like Hoka would create a shoe with an uncomfortable tongue.
Here's hoping the Bondi 8 is better.

These are the best. After one year they still look good, but..........
I can get a full one year of use out of them before they need to be replaced and that's really really good for me. The most I have ever gotten out of any other shoes is 4 months. I am a nurse and am on my feet 50-60 hours a week on concrete floors. I am also pretty hard on my shoes. The arch support and the cushioning are still good after a year. The reason I have to replace them is, I always wear out the back of my shoes inside where the back of my heel rests and I seem to do this no matter what brand of shoes I wear so it's not the shoes it's me. But because my feet and legs feel alot better after a 10-12 hour shift wearing the bondi 7 and they last way longer than any other shoes, I will continue to buy them.

The Hola Bondi 7 is by far the most cushioned sneaker I have ever owned. I have periodic plantar fasciitis which was gone wearing these. I tried a couple other Hola models but this is still the best for me.

The best pair of running shoes I've ever had. It's very comfortable and somewhat cute! I could wear them with a casual outfit or a workout outfit. I had to exchange my pair from regular to wide, and it was such a smooth process. I highly highly recommend HOKA!!

Fit was a little bulky but I think that's the way they are designed. I didn't find them as comfortable as I expected.

Well, good news and then bad news: They are well made and super cushy- wow! They have relieved pain and provided support for a plantar plate ligament tear. I feel that I will likely heal well in these shoes. The bad news is that they are super thick and to me, so clunky. I would never buy this style if I didn't have to for my foot health. They are not at all sexy- I feel like Herman Munster. It is maybe just me, the one who loves to run in the grass barefoot... (probably why I am injured)! The family says they look fine but I think they are just helping me to feel better. Imagine running shoes that are as thick as rugged snow boots- lol. I am keeping them and wearing them, like a good girl. Maybe I will learn to love them?

Fit great width medium perfect. The material is soft enough so my toe bunions do not feel cramped. Love the black. Good style. The outside heel makes you walk correctly. Plus my orthotics fit inside easily.

I bought these shoes to wear as a nurse. I work 12 hour shifts. I just graduated and these were my gift to myself for finishing school. Unfortunately, these hurt my feet soooo badly. I was so sad because they are so cute and look soo good.

My podiatrist recommended these after I fractured my seismoid bone in my foots while running. These helped my foot heal. The rocking motion footbed kept the pressure off the ball of my foot and eliminated the pain. At first, I was hesitant to pay so much for a shoe, but now these will be my go to shoe for everyday casual and for running when I can start again.

I DO wear these all day for normal-but-active household type chores & they are a DREAM of bouncy cushioning under my feet, I LOVE that! The only drawback for me is that very same lovely bouncy step I get around the house is TOO bouncy for my morning exercise walking the heel absorbs so much shock that there's a bit of a bounce-back & it changes my gait just enough that I'd prefer a shoe w/a bit harder heel for the exercise walk bit, but I'm super happy with the shoes, the fit & the quality. Thanks!

Love these sneakers. My second pair and helps my severe arthritis in my big toe joints and a recent flare up of plantar fasciitis. I do wear an over the counter quality orthotic as well. But these shoes are the best.

My wife bought these shoes a few months ago. She was having a problem with a Morton's neuroma, and since these shoes, no more pain! So I bought her a new pair in a different color. She's so happy!

I wear sneakers every day for my exercise- I bind and I walk.
Walking in these sneakers is amazing because they are better cushioned than any other sneaker I've ever worn.
Even with my custom made orthotics, no other expensive walking shoe is as comfortable and pain free as these.
That being said, I wish they were a drop wider in the toe box and a drop narrower in the heel! Then they would be perfect.

I absolutely love these shoes. They have the best fit and are incredibly comfortable. So much cushioning that I feel like I am walking on pillows. I was have some plantar fasciitis and this has helped so much. I highly recommend these shoes.

These are the most comfortable shoes. I do miss the higher ankle back of the Bondi 6 for several reasons. But they still provide the plush foot bed I need. And I highly recommend them to others.
