Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

MY first Hoka shoe purchase was for a 10-mile hike. No blisters or foot pain. I now own 12 pairs since I got my first ones in 2016. I don’t use any other brand but Hoka!

Ordered my usual 8W with high hopes. The toe box was wide enough for my Flintstone feet (they're basically square), but the middle part of the shoe tapered too much as was not nearly wide enough. Most of the middle of my foot spilled over the sole. Disappointed that the entire shoe wasn't a "W".

These shoes felt wonderful on. I run between a 8.5 and 9 wide and the 9 W fit perfectly... except the heel. I also have very narrow heals and the heel slipped constantly as I walked. I typically wear Sauconys (9.5W) and have no issues with the heel. I’m not sure if it was the extremely thick padding that doesn’t really bend almost like platform shoes or if maybe it would have ‘broken in’. I sent them back as I wasn’t willing to risk the shoes continuing to slip even after a break in period. Loved the fun color too .

For my feet they are perfect as I don’t have the best feet in the world. The fit was perfect. Never had a better fit. I will buy again.

I bought these shoes in a 6.5 and love them, so I wanted another pair. The next pair I bought a 6.5 and they felt fine until I walked 5 miles in them. They rubbed the side of my feet and hurt my toes, though my toes weren't touching the end. Overall these shoes felt too small. I'm not sure why I'd be a size 7 in the Bondi 7, when I was a 6.5 in the Bondi 6, which seems to be discontinued.
