Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

Good shoes but not as fantastic as I hope. I have high expectations because of all the hype but it's just typical of shoes in this price range

These feel good when I put them on but when I take them off after 6 hrs of work my legs and feet hurt . Supportive but not insole not soft enough.

I bought these for work. Am on my feet all day, walking. I did return them for a smaller size. I usually wear a 9.5 & returned for a 9 which fits so much better. Bought the orange pair because they were out of the blue.

Love my new Hoka. Purchased my usual size 10. Bought the Blanc on Blanc. Upon trying on- one half size too large love the shoes so comfy. Did have to return for proper sizing.

Great toe space, lots of cushioning, good rebound/bounce, love the way it feels on my very tender feet

I love HOKA Bondi running shoes. This is my 4th pair. I don't think this pair feels as cushioned as my previous other three but they're still good. I read reviews of the Bondi 8 that said the toe box was too wide so I went with the 7s,

After experiencing foot pain for the first time my podiatrist recommended these shoes. I did not like the price but I was in pain and anything that would help I was for. After my purchase I wore them and there was a period of time that my body mechanics had to get used to these shoes from what I had been wearing. My knees were sore for a bit but then like a switch it just all started to feel right. I throughout all my other shoes and will make these my go to shoes. So worth the price!

I think this shoe provides excellent comfort paired with stability. It took a little time to get used to how tall it is, but the comfort is great.

My doctor who also had plantar fascitis suggested HOKA. I purchased the bondi in a wide size 7. It is very comfortable and has a good cushion. I able to walk in them for 2.5 miles without my plantar fascities bothering me. I'm definitely going to look into another pair. I have tried orthotic inserts and orthotic shoes and by far these are working for me.

I have 2 pairs. Very comfortable. However, shoes are super squeaky which can be annoying. I normally wear a size 8.5, but the shoe is narrow so I chose a 9. But the length is a little too big.

Hoka is an amazing company. I wore these sneakers for a week and a half and noticed the back heel was missing some padding in it. They replaced my pair and gave me a new pair that was great. Thanks Hoka.

I like the shoes but they are on the narrow side. I liked the shoes. I've had them a month, they didn't survive a car crash so can't say anything to the longevity of the product.

This shoe has a lot of cushion and is great to run in. I trained for a marathon in my first pair and plan to do it again in these. The shoes are pretty heavy though, that's y biggest complaint.

i already purchased another on sale from another store because you were going to charge shipping this tijme. i also thought i had ordered a wide but received a regular width. seems to fit alright but wish it was wider

I walk between 5 and 12 miles a day. These are the only shoes that I can walk that far and my feet feel fine. Unfortunately the Bondi 8's don't fit the same way - they are smaller in the toe box. Not sure what I'll do when I can't get these anymore.

I have ignored my doctor and worn sandals for years. Now, I'm paying the price. I bought a pair of Hoka's and with the exception of the inside arch support, they are vey comfortable. I'm waiting for a bag of lambs wool to pad the area as it is cutting at my arch. Other than that, they are a winner for me.

I was hesitant to buy a second pair since my first wore out so quickly. I have pump bumps on my ankle that destroyed the back foam upper of the shoe all of the way to the plastic in a matter of 6 months. However, I tried other brands and nothing made my feet not hurt after a long day of work walking on concrete. Hoka's were the only shoe that I could wear all day and not have pain the next so I came back. I am trying a different lacing pattern to hopefully prevent the wear problem.

Comfortable but definitely narrow across the width of the foot .

This is the second pair of Hoka Bondi 7's and these aren't the same. Bummer! I rotate my shoes daily, and the first pair I bought is still better all around than the second pair.

I walk daily...low impact use. The shoe fits true to size. The fabric is soft and the toe box is deep enough so that there is not any pressure on arthritic toe joints. I purchased the Bondi 7 for the sleeker look compared to the Bondi 8 that I purchased and wore for a couple of weeks prior. The Bondi 7, while having very good shock absorption, is slightly firmer than the Bondi 8. Having arthritis in my back and feet, the shock absorption cushion is very important to me. Also, the Bondi 7 slips at my heel while the Bondi 8 does not...even after lacing through the very top holes, there is some slipping at the heel. I am wearing the Bondi 7 for short walks only as I am concerned about getting blisters from long exposure to the slipping. These two issues equal 4 stars.

I had to exchange the shoe from 8 to 9 as my toe touched with an 8. The 9 feels a bit too roomy for my foot but have added an extra thin insole and they fit better. They feel very staple when I wear them. I'm in my late 70s and have arthritis so need a good well made shoe. I'm liking it more and more.

I have bursitis of the hip which is extremely painful. When it flares up, I need lightweight, cushioned footwear and it's a constant battle to find lightweight, cushioned shoes that LOOK GOOD. I can't say I love the look of sneakers in general, but at least these are a nice bright orange with a big thick sole. One could *almost* (but not quite) say they looked like platforms. So they aren't something I'd pick out to wear if I didn't have to, but they make a huge difference to my stupid hip. I could walk for hours in these, and often do. If I wear these enough, I can get away with wearing a heavier, less cushioned shoe once in a while. Like when people are going to see me. As everyone says, these do run big. I usually wear a 9.5 - 10. I got a size 9 in these and they fit perfectly. So while they don't "feel too big" on my feet, they "feel too big" for a size 9 shoe.
