Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

Hurt my feet the first time i wore them. Horrible.

I love them. They fit great and are so comfortable.

Order arrived on time and the fit helps with my heel pain.

I switched to outdoor road running because of the pandemic and 18 months into it, my feet were killing me. I switched from my regular Brooks to Hoka and after just one week I have significantly less pain. They are super squishy but not heavy - it's like running on marshmallows.

My feet feel great wearing them.

These shoes are so cute, very comfortable and the answer to my prayers. I can walk all day and my feet do not hurt!

Fit and size are good. Wish it had more cushion. I work 12-13 hour shifts and need the support.

Love this shoe!

These are awesome. They provide some great cushioning for treadmill running for my feet and back. I have wide feet, and the wide size are perfect. I sized up a half size like I always do in tennis shoes, and they fit great. They also have a slight rocker profile which I have read is good for your back also. I will likely purchase an identical pair when these wear out.

I have about 5 pair of Hokas now and I’m very happy with them. The Bondi 7 is my latest. They were great right out of the box. The only advice I would give is that I first got it in wide — as I have bunions but I found the wide to be just a bit too wide and exchanged it for a medium— which is perfect. I have the Clifton 7 & 8 and the wide was good for me.

Not my favorite look but with neuropathy from chemo I needed a great support and cushion. These for the bill. Ordered 7 but had to reorder 6 1/2.

The shoe is very bulky...the left foot arch was fine, but the right was painful...very hard. The support on outside of foot also was a bit painful as it held my foot in place. Not a good choice for me

I am a lifelong runner with feet pain. These shoes run a half size smaller than Nike, Asics, and New Balance. They remind me of how comfortable the Asics gel nimbus used to be circa 2010. These shoes have max cushion so if you are unstable I would suggest a different shoe. I enjoy these because I need the forefoot cushion. They fit my 3/4 arch orthotics well. I usually wear a 10 and I purchased a 9.5 in this model.

I normally wear a size 9 medium in most shoes (New Balance, Brooks, Merrell) but the size 9 in these was WAY too big. I exchanged for an 8.5, which felt a little better but after wearing them for a month, I feel they are still a 1/2 size too big and MUCH narrower than other medium width shoes. There is a definite "pinching" on the side of my foot where it's too narrow. I'm disappointed that I wasted $150 on shoes that hurt my feet, however they do have great cushioning and support, so I decided to order a size 8 WIDE to see if that feels better. If not, I'll be returning those and giving up on Hoka. Still pretty sour on these 8.5 Mediums that I'm stuck with now.

Very satisfied with brand and customer service. This is my second pair of this brand.

So so so so soooooo fantastic! Best sneakers ever!

I recently had ankle surgery and I’m having nerve pain on the bottom of my foot. I had several people recommend these shoes to me. I was told once I wear Hoka I will never wear another brand. And they are right. These shoes have made a huge difference. It’s light walking on air. I highly recommend them.

I wear a women’s 6.5 wide or a 7B. I ordered the 6.5 wide (d) and they fit perfectly. I love the plushness of the footbed. I’ve never owned a shoe so comfortable and plush. I bought them because my orthopedic surgeon recommended I wear them to help absorb the shock of walking. I broke my left leg and right hip. I had a broken fib and tib and soft tissue damage. My leg hurt to walk. I am able to walk 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at night without pain.

I love the shoe but it has rubbed a large blister on the outside of my big toe. The toe box should have been wider, I guess. I hope after the blisters heal I will be able to try again and make it work. The cliftons did not make blisters on my toes.

So cute but too narrow. I have a medium width foot.

I ordered two sizes, a 8 and 8.5 since I tend to be between the two and I hate when my shoes are tight. The size 8 fit great!! These shoes are super comfortable and extremely light!!!! I am now a true HOKA fan.

After double knee replacement I was looking for a shoe with plenty plenty of "koosh" as I returned to work. I stand a good part of the day on hard floors and the Bondi 7 offers the comfort I was looking for. I prefer a shoe with a wide toe box, but normal fitting heel. I ordered the Bondi 7 in both a normal and a wide width. The wide was much too wide, slipping on my heel. The normal width seemed plenty wide in the toe box. I'm still deciding if perhaps there is a part of the fabric on the tongue of the shoe that rubs funny on my right foot. I'm trying different socks as well. Overall, I really like the shoe!

Excellent support shoes for my daily 8 - 9 mile walks. Normally wear 7.5 but for tennis shoe order 8. Second pair. Tried variety of walking shoes. Those provide the most comfort for me.

I have been to hell & back with these shoes & wanted to love them so badly. I wear 7.5-8 women’s & decided to try the 7.5 which was giant so we moved to the 7. I realized that no matter how tight I tied the laces or tried thicker socks my heal would slide out in addition to excessive space at the end of the toe box. the 6.5 fit perfectly length wise but was painful in the width so I ordered wide. Just took the 6.5 out for the day & they fit in length but the toe box was so tight & my arches were so sore after. This was supposed to be my first pair of Hokas so i’m really just sad it didn’t work out.

I have been told by hikers, podiatrists & orthopedists that Hoka would be great for my 4 mile walks. My foot is slightly wide so I ordered the wide to give me plenty of room. I started wearing these slowly. Only 1 mile the first time, then 2 miles then next few times, then a few days at 3 miles and finally a 4 mile walk. The first few wearings they seemed ok. The side of the ball of my foot was hurting a little bit, but I wasn't sure if it was from my work shoes. So I wore nothing but flipflops that wouldn't rub the side of the ball of my foot. So with my foot feeling good. I tried the Hoka shoes again. The side of the ball of my foot started being irritated again. Now these are WIDE shoes and I don't always need a wide shoe. But these are not wide enough. The side of the ball of my feet is hurting again, left more than right. But both feet are not comfortable. But since I have worn these shoes outside I can't return them. What a waste of $150!!! I should have stuck with the Orthofeet brand shoes I have been wearing for the past few years.
