Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

I’ve been wearing the bondi for a couple of yrs for my cardio class. The cushion is amazing. They aren’t the most stylish. But eventually you reach a point where performance is more important than appearance. I did size down 1/2 size from what I normally wear.

I have 6 pairs of Bondi 6. They are the most comfortable running shoes I have ever purchased. My feet are bony and I do not have fat pads so I need a lot of cushion. The Bondi 6 had the best plush cushion. The Bondi 7 are comfortable but the cushion is not the same. I had some rubbing on my left inner ankle. The material seems stiffer and there was not the same plush cushion as the Bondi 6. I teach 2nd grade so I’m on my feet all day. After a week of wearing the Bondi 7, I felt some pain on my foot pads. When I wear my Bondi 6, I do not feel any pain on my foot pads. Sadly I am returning the Bondi 7. I hope the new 8’s will be more like the 6’s.

Awesome shoes for folks with neuropathy / foot pain or back pain. As soon as I put them on, I instantly get some relief. It's not the be-all, end-all, but it's definitely noticeable. I can teach in them all day and not feel like I have to immediately lie down by the time I get home. They do seem to be about 1/2 a size long compared to other 9 1/2s I own from other brands, but it's not enough to be bothersome.

Very cute, but too narrow!

You have to lace these up pretty tightly or your feet will swim around in them. Took a while to get used to the bouncy feeling but they are good shock absorbers so no knee pain.

Love the shoed

Hoka has some of the ugliest shoes. They are obviously good for your feet cause my doctors all advice to get them. Work on the colors!!!!!!!!

Comfy!

Hoka Shoes are WONDERFUL!! I had never heard of them before, and I developed a severe tear in the fascia on the bottom of my foot. After wearing a boot for 6 weeks, and asking my doctor's opinion, I bought two pair, one at a local store and the other through Zappos because I couldn't originally get the color I wanted. So now I have two super pairs of shoes. These shoes are SO WONDERFUL, COMFY AND CUSHIONY!!! They're just SUPER!! So happy to have them!! THANK YOU!!!!

Very comfortable. No break in needed. Wouldn’t mind more arch support.

I tried the regular width and they put too much pressure on my bunion. I tried the wide and they were too loose in the heel. Lots of cushion which I wanted. I wish they made a wider toe box in the regular width and then they would be perfect.

Heel to soft with very little arch support not allowing for my heel toe strike. Super soft but not the right fit for me.

These shoes are cushy & comfy right out of the box! I ordered a 10 1/2 W & they fit perfectly. I was looking for something with lots of cush & support when I have to be on my feet for long periods of time & these shoes fit the bill!

Additional support takes getting used to. But love these shoes!

These fit pretty much like the Bondi 6 which I had 3 prs of. They are not quite as cushioned as the Bondi 6 but still work for my feet. Wide toe box and good arch support. Great colors as expected from Hoka. I'll likely but a 2nd pair.

I have been wearing Hokas for a few years now . I have arthritis and these are the only shoes I do not have to “break in”. They can be worn immediately right out of the box..

These are so cushy and comfy. Definately a different feel than my other shoes, I've been a Saucony wearer for decades but after getting used to them in a short amount of time, I love them. I typically wear a 7 wide, but I had to go down 1/2 size. The wide width is perfect but the 7 was just a bit large. If I had to find a negative, I'd like a better selection of colors

Of the three wide Hokas I have purchased, this pair of Black and White Bondi 7 have felt the roomiest and most comfortable. I have severe foot problems - Hoka wide width has greatly helped with a large toe box and a heel I can actually keep on my foot. ZAPPOS was tremendous - superior service, super speedy delivery, incredibly easy returns and fast refunds for ones that did not work. You have a customer for life. THANK YOU!!!!!

I love Hokas. I have severe neuropathy and a foot problem that I've had several surgeries on and these are the only shoes I wear.

These are great shoes! I love when you put shoes on for the first time and they are immediately comfortable- I like the way they look but I love the way they feel!

I have found the holy grail for my plantar fasciitis! I used to be a huge fan of the Asics Gel Kayanos, but the last 3 versions seemed overdesigned and completely took away everything I loved about the shoes in the first place. I had googled shoes for plantar fasciitis and had previously purchased Brooks Adrenalines only to have to buy insoles for them and my feet were still killing me! Enter these not so stylish HOKA's. The very second I put them on, I almost started crying. All of the pressure was off of my heel, no pain, awesome arch support. I don't even have insoles in them! I am a nurse and work 10 hours a day and am on my feet all day. I was so worried after being let down by Asics and Brooks that I would never find another shoe and would be destined to take medicine and be in pain with my plantar fasciitis. I've been wearing these HOKA's for a week with zero foot pain, zero heel pain, no medication, and SO HAPPY!!! They aren't the cutest shoes but I don't care. They feel like I'm walking on a foam mattress, the soles are so bouncy and really do have great arch support. I can't recommend these shoes enough, and I hope they don't keep re-inventing them like other shoes. Hope this helps!

Love my Hokas, as usual. The big negative for me is that there are relatively few color choices in the style I like. I wish they would offer some new options!

I LOVE these amazing shoes. Where the arch meets my foot kind of rubs, but overall, you can’t beat the comfort. I do kind of feel like they’re Frankenstein shoes, but whatever! I’m on my feet a lot and these feel wonderful!! Totally worth the price!!! I got these a half size up because I was worried they would be too narrow, but that wasn’t the case, I probably would have been fine with my normal size.

Amazing shoes.
