I struggled with the sizing on these. Ordered them in a 9
and needed an 8 1/2. Should have returned the 9. They are very comfortable and I will possibly buy again in the future but will size down. They are wide.

Hoka website is easy to navigate and the shipping is smooth and fast. The shoes are nice, but not as comfortable as the One-Ones. Since I need a wide shoe due to various issues, I look for ones I can get in that size, but these also don't feel quite as wide. Still, nice enough shoe that I'll put them "into rotation" and hopefully works out.

I bought these shoes to do 3 mile walks around my neighborhood. They really help in minimizing fatigue in my legs and knee pain. My only complaint is they are a little loose around my heel.

Super comfy and roomy however if you walk every day over 8+ miles the soles wear out quickly. Disappointed.

I can not wear this shoe, the support is not there!! I fill like I am being pitched forward. They are a nicely made shoe, but not enough support to keep me from rolling in. The shoes themselves seem well made. I would recommend the brand for a regular person without any overpronation.

I love this product for running!! Super comfortable and the best running shoes I've owned by far because it feels like you're running on a cloud. Also just great shoes for every day use!
The one thing I've noticed is that I've had the shoes for about a month and a half now and part of the lines that are the decoration have started to peel up on one shoe close to the ball of your foot by the big toe. Other than this small thing I would definitely recommend the shoes, since it could just be overuse on my part.

I think they are good shoes as long as you don't need to use custom orthotics. I read somewhere that the shoes are cut a half size larger and should accomodate custom orthotics. My custom orthotics are quite wide to support my flat feet. I could get them into the shoe, but once they were in the shoes no longer felt comfortable. They felt tight. I like to be able to wiggle my toes in my shoes. I could not. I decided to return them for that reason.

This is my third pair and the only shoe I wear for work as I am on my feet for 12 hours. The only thing I wish is that they would more color variety in wides. Best show ever.

I am on my feet 9+ hours a day. I ordered a wide because that's what I normally wear. They don't feel wide enough, I wish they offered an extra wide . I would definitely consider another pair then .

These shoes run long (no pun intended). I normally wear 10 but they were too long & I had to size it down to 9.5. I have wide feet so I ordered the wide, which works well but in tight situations the shoes are so wide as to get in the way a little bit. Like when I'm getting into my compact car. They haven't proven a driving hazard, but they are clunky in this situation and it's a concern. All that said, for walking (my main use), they are extremely cushiony and comfortable. I have some issues with bunions, and they help alleviate discomfort.

The only concern with this shoe is the thickness of the sole. Not easy to walk on it. Feels bulky.

Had the Bondi 6 which I initially loved but after a few months their was not much support or cushion. Felt my feet pronating more so used my own orthotics. Hoped this new one would provide more stability but sadly did not. I would have bought them again but sent them back kept the Kwana style which felt more stable although not as cushioned. Hope they hold up better.

First off, they have woman's size 12!! This isn't the easiest size to find. I had to get a wide after first ordering regular width. It took about a week to finally feel some relief. It wasn't instant. I think my feet were in shock! I can stand/walk much longer than I could before now. This warms my heart. I will recommend AND purchase these again!

I walk between 2-3 miles a day walking our dog. They are very comfortable and true to size. I'm on my 3rd pair. First pair had no squeaks. But the last 2 pairs, which are the same style, Bondi 7 in blue fog, start squeaking after a few weeks. Not happy about that

Hello Hoka,
Firstly, I want to say I love your shoes. My podiatrist suggested these shoes for me and they have been extremely helpful.
I have purchased four pairs thus far. The only complaint that I have with each pair is that the color strip comes off very quickly! It makes each shoe look like the are worn and used very soon after they are put on!
I run, walk and do classes that give my shoes a workout.
But I like my shoes to look new longer then they do!
My suggestion would be to change this design flaw or use some type of coloring that will stay on much longer then it does!
Thanks!
Denise

The shoes are fantastic, but I was sent a pair with white smeared on places that should be all black. I would definitely buy more Hoka's but maybe only in person at a shoe store. These were purchased directly from Hoka because the shoe store didn't have the pair I wanted in my size.

These shoes are my go to and are so comfy to wear at work when I'm standing and running around for 12 hours! Only down side is they'll need a wash probably every 2 months because the material is thick and they can start to smell, but easily fixed with a wash.

This is the shoe that the shoe finder chose for me. I love it. I love it for walking, I love it for running. When my feet started getting overheated on longer runs I ordered a pair a size larger and it was a great choice.
the only downside to this shoe is that you have to be thoughtful when putting your foot into it, and hold the back lip. If you try to just shove your feet into them you will break down the heel, and I haven't figured out a way to get it back into shape yet. And once it's broken down, they aren't good for working out anymore.

Overall, I am happy with the final pair of shoes I ordered. For the first pair, I ordered my usual size, a 9W. They were much too big — too long and too wide. I returned them and ordered an 8-1/2 B. They were too tight, and were returned, also. For my third try, I ordered an 8-1/2 W (which weren't available when I ordered the second pair), which fit well. I also ordered the thickest sole available, which feel great on my sensitive feet. Before you order any Hoka shoe, I would suggest going to the Hoka website. There you can answer a few questions about your feet and the site will respond with which style best fits your needs. I found this very helpful.

If I could give Zappos 10 stars, I would, as they excel in customer support and are a pleasure to deal with!
Regarding the HOKA's, attention Bondi 6 lovers with flat feet: you'll need to size up at least 1/2 for the Bondi 7. The Bondi 6 W has an exceptionally generous and rounded toe box, loved that version and wore out two pairs. Recently ordered the Bondi 7 in my usual HOKA size 8.5 W, found the toe box design is more pointy and narrow than the 6's, had to exchange for a 9W, which is better and usable, but hopefully HOKA will return to its former rounded toe box design for future Bondi's.

I've bought the HOKA Bondi's since the Bondi One. My ONLY complaint is HOKA doesn't produce size 11.5 in their Women's Bondi's or any women's shoes actually. Size 12 is too big. Size 11, too short. I have to buy Men's 10 or 10.5. Men's feet are built differently than Men's, in case HOKA didn't know. Still, the Bondi's are the only shoe I've used for all my Half and Full marathons. I just wish you folks would understand size 11.5 needs to be a choice. Signed: a devotee of HOKA Bondi's.
