Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

I had bunion (and arthritis) surgery six months ago and none of my shoes feel good except for a pair of Alegria. I needed a pair of sneakers to walk my dogs. The Hoka Bondi 7 feels great. It has a bottom rocker that doesn't LOOK like a rocker - so many sneakers out there look silly to me - way to big of a bottom. I am very happy with the purchase (especially because they are expensive) :o

From the minute I tried on the HOKA sneakers I was hooked. I have been wearing them since I received them. They are light and extremely comfortable.

A+. My first pair, very cushy and supportive. Very stable sole, love the color combination.

Super comfortable. Was a little concerned the slight lift would cause some instability, but I actually love it. Great support.

Best shoes for my feet!

Best exercise shoe I've found for my feet of woe -- metatarsalgia in both feet and plantar fasciitis on the right. My third pair of the Bondi model. My feet are a little wide but I buy the regular width; I normally wear a 9 in regular shoes and buy the 9 1/2 so I can wear thick Thorlo socks. The shoe has a wide toe box. I love them.

I have lots of foot issues (bunions, calluses, metatrasalgia) and these shoes are comfortable. I bought an 8 wide and they have enough room so my bunions don't rub but they are secure enought that my feet don't move around. They have good cushioning but I do feel like I am pronating more than I would like. I have avoided Hoka shoes because the soles look so huge and chunky but the ones I bought have soles that are half black, half white so they don't look so big.

The Bondi 7 fit me perfectly in 9W. (I also wear a 9W in Brooks Ghost.) I've never worn Hoka's before, so I can't compare the Bondi 7 to the 6. These shoes are super-cushioned, which is what I expected. I wore them in the house for a few hours & had no complaints at all. However, when I hit the road (walking) the magical comfort started to fade after about 2 miles. For miles 3 & 4, I was feeling discomfort at the arches - like they were too high & stiff for me: odd because I have very high arches. But what was much worse, was the fact that the insoles don't fit properly. They're too narrow for the shoe, so there's a gap between the insole & the shoe, just under the ball of my foot in both shoes. The stiff edge of the insole rubs against the skin (again - just under the edge of the ball of my foot). So during this first wearing, I developed a painful callus at the lower/outer edge of the ball of each foot. I waited 2 weeks for the skin to heel, then went out again. Same thing happened after ~2 miles. Returned home in pain, & sadness, that these shoes were not going to work. But Zappos is the best, so I'm going to order some more Brooks Ghost in their latest model. Yay!

This is my second pair and they are so worth it!

The shoes pinched my big toe. They also did not have arch support. Bondi 6 was perfect but you did not have them.

This is the 2nd pair of Bondi 7s I’ve had. The size 7s fit me in the past, but this time felt too small. The 7 1/2 shoes seem just fine. I walk a lot, and love the cushioning in the heels.
