Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

I started wearing the Bondi 7 for outdoor walking and gym training. I find it great for both. When it was discontinued I went to the Bondi 8. Functionally I found both to be equally good. However, I much prefer the look of the Bondi 7, and I was happy when they brought it back. I would keep it and with more colors!

Best HOKA shoe to date! Glad they re-released this model again. Has a thicker fabric than the Bondi 8. Love the classic colors. Not all of us want a bright shoe that you can see from space! More of the classic colors, please! Bring Bondi 7 back for good!

Blondi sevens fit my foot so well, I am so sad to see them gone.

I'm so glad you brought this shoe back! The Bondi 8 was too narrow but decided to exchange this gray one for a gray wide. I also got a blue pair of Bondi 7 wides. Thank you!!

I am so thrilled that the Bondi 7 is back. They fit so much better than the Bondi 8, which felt noticeably wider in the toe area, to the point that I often felt like I was tripping over my own feet! So happy to have my Bondi 7 back on my feet so I walk comfortably and safely. I just wish that they had been available in my size in black. However, the light grey are very nice too.

I love these shoes so much, I tried the bondi 8 not even comparable. I refuse to purchase the bondi 8 due to how amazing these 7 were. The moment I saw they brought them back I immediately got myself a pair, I might honestly have to buy another just in case they disappear again.

Great shoe very comfortable,since I'm on my feet 8 hours a day walking helping customers ;very comfortable. Love the cushion and the style is awesome I might get a second pair on a different color

Tried to love the 8 just can't . Thank you for bringing back the 7! Please make the 7 in the pretty pastel colors that you have the Bondi 8 in. Pretty please?????

Bondi 7 are so much cushiony and comfortable than the 8. I did not have to have break in the 7 at all! Tried the 8 and they were firmer and harder in the bottom. Keep the 7 in stock!!!

I absolutely love these shoes my feet my legs and my back do not hurt. Every other shoe that I have tried to wear just kills me I would definitely buy over and over and over

Great fit and comfort. Love the color.

I am happy that bondi 7 is back. i did not like bondi 8 's fit. I want to buy black wide 8.5

So glad to see that these are back!! Bondi 7 is the only shoe that I have found that fits the needs of me feet. Hoka, please, PLEASE, keep these as an option forever.

I was so happy to receive the new 'old' Bondi 7 sneakers. I hope you'll keep them in circulation. Otherwise, I doubt I'll buy anymore Hokas. I bought so many Bondi 8s ahead of when I needed them but they're so uncomfortable compared to the 7.

Was amazed to see Bondi 7 is back! Ordered them right away.

I was a die hard Asics wearer until couple years ago when I felt their product quality declined. I change my athletic shoes every 3 months. Hoka's hasn't disappointed me yet. I love every pair I've purchased.

Thank you so much for bringing the Hoka Bondi 7 back! So comfortable, makes for an easy 6 miles. I hope you keep on making them.

I prefer this Bondi over the 8. Because of the extra toe box room, you can wear thin or thick socks.

I have worn Hoka's since 2014 before they were cool. I was introduced to the bondi 4 at my local running store and they were the UGLIEST and most COMFORTABLE shoe I had ever worn. I stuck with the Bondi line as it progressed buying every new model including the 8. I hated the 8 as they changed the model and platform entirely. they gave me horrible knee pain and forced me back into my very old Bondi 7. I even tried a pair a Brooks which gave me heal pain after only 2 hours of in the house walking. I was gleeful when Steve at Run Moore in Westminster told me HOKA listened and re released the 7. My new shoes arrived yesterday and they continue to be amazing and now they are beautiful too. Please don't change the Bondi platform again. I'd much rather you introduce a new shoe and leave the Bondi line alone. Given the popularity of this shoe- others agree.

I'm on my feet for 12 hours a day and these are the most comfortable shoes ever!!! I'm so happy you brought them back(hopefully to stay)!! This is my 3rd pair and really hope you keep them available. I tried the Bondi 8 and they are not the same shoe. Not wide enough and unfortunately nothing like the Bondi 7. If you have foot pain and/or are on your feet all day, you have to try these

All time favorite shoes! Unfortunately Bondi 8's are too bulky looking. Glad that Bondi 7's are back but please offer more color options. My fav was Black iris ballad blue!

I am so happy the bondi 7 came back. I run ~20 miles a week for the last 5-ish years and the first few years I had burned through a few Bondi 7s getting 400 miles in them easy. They were the perfect everyday running shoe, I absolutely love them and told everyone about it. Cushioning without being too soft, firm but not too hard, not too heavy, good rocker to pick up if needed. When the bondi 8 came out, I was excited for the newest model of my favorite shoe. However, the bondi 8 was just not as good. There was no rocker, the roll fell flat at the forefoot and after 50 miles they felt super flat and lost the cushion. It almost felt like they used a completely different foam for the sole, a cheap generic one too. I couldn't even get myself to run 250 miles in them. I never bought 2nd pair of Bondi 8 and moved to the Stinsons because they were the closest things to the 7s, more so than any other Hoka model. I essentially became a trail runner instead of a road runner because of the Bondi 8. Now the 7s are back!!! If you keep making them, I'll keep buying them!

I'm a walker, not a runner. I own an old pair and previous re-release of Bondi 7, plus a pair of Bondi 8. Bad ankle break with troublesome hardware made it difficult to find comfortable footwear that didn't cause foot, ankle, or knee pain. Bondi 7 recommended by a friend. Re-release Bondi 7: I ordered 6 wide, instead of my usual 6.5 regular width which was a bit too snug. Fit perfectly. Wider toe box feels good with no rubs or callouses. Length just right as wider shoes tend to be longer. Comfortable, supportive for walking on pavement. No foot, ankle, or knee pain wearing these. Compared to original Bondi 7, the cushion isn't as plush. It improved after a few weeks of wear, though still doesn't match my old 7's. Limited color selection. Baby blue is very pretty. Bondi 8: Good fit, also not as plush as original 7. Biggest con: Protruding heel. It catches when going down steps threatening to pitch me forward. I'm careful but regard them as unsafe on stairs or steps. Good for walking otherwise. Good variety of colors. Splayed sole is stable though unattractive, which doesn't matter if everything else is okay (husband calls them Daisy Duck shoes). Protruding heel is a deal-breaker though. Won't buy them again. Final take: Though I miss the plusher comfort of the originals, these are good too. Expensive but worth it. I ordered another pair today.

Bondi 7 is the best & most luxuriously cushioned athletic shoe I've ever had. I am thrilled that Hoka has brought it back. I hope it's back to stay--and, like other reviewers, I hope that it gets some some of its classic color schemes back (Blue Fog/Ombre Blue was my all-time favorite).

I've always worn the Clifton and Rincon. I really like the Clifton but the Rincon didn't provide enough support for all day wear. I decided to try the Bondi 8. I really wanted to love them but they weren't comfortable and the wide toe box made my feet look huge! When the Bondi 7 became available I thought they might be better than the 8's and I was right! I absolutely love these shoes!! Please bring them back permanently!!
