Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

These are my third pair of Bondis, and my feet love them. I have arthritic toes and need a wider toe box & lots of cushioning. Bondis are the only shoe I can run in without aching feet afterward. But please, please make them in lighter brighter colors like the carbon x and bondi x !

This shoe is helping with my foot pain but is also very warm I not sure if I will like wearing all summer long time will tell

I love these shoes, I work 12 hr shifts in the ED. I have plantar fasciitis and these are the only comfortable shoes I have found. This is my 2nd pair and I will definitely be getting more.

This is my 3rd pair of Hoka shoes. They provide great comfort and stability when paired with my inserts. Truly makes my feet happy. The only thing I don't like about this pair is the noise they make with every step. Like a squishy/squeaky noise. Everyone knows it's me walking down the halls at work.

I'm new to Hoka. I wanted to love the Bondi, but it's too wide and too long for my size 10 feet. I don't have narrow feet. I am a full size 10no dainty feet over here. I have to return. I'm going to try the Kawana maybe.

I have been buying Bondi 7 for a couple of years now, this is my third pair. But for some reason, they are little different than the other two pairs I have. They are a little more stiff, not as cushioned and the arch seemed a little different. (I purchased the black and white pair this last time) But they are still an okay pair of shoes and way better than other shoes, even though not quite as nice as the other two pairs, still worth the money.

The shoes are a little heavier than other brands such as Asics Gel nimbus, however they seem to work the leg muscles more. They are comfortable, but run a little big. I usually take an 8 1/2 with other brands, but believe an 8 would have worked with the Bondi 7. The laces are always coming loose.

I like them, but find the toe box is quite wide. I don't have narrow feet and shoes generally fit, no problem. But after going a long distance, I ended up with blisters. That doesn't normally happen to me.

Very comfy running shoes!

I wanted to love these shoes but I have very specific foot issues (splayed feet according to the podiatrist) so most shoes hurt my feet. I still plant to keep these and just deal with the pain, but I wonder if Hoka could come up with an extra wide (or if there is one available then I'll gladly change my review). Overall I would recommend Hokas for most people, and I've gotten lots of compliments on the shoes, but I cannot wear them for hours and hours as I had hoped.

These shoes are amazing if you stand on hard concrete all day.

I walk 4 miles almost every day so I needed a good shoe. My Hokas are very comfortable.

Love the looks of these in black and white. I really wanted to love them but I was developing some foot pain on one side from the shoe. I love hokas and plan to try a different pair. Maybe they are a bit on the narrow side? Lots of cushion and very stylish though! Thank you Hokas for your return policy

For the last 5 years I have been solely devoted to Brooks Ghost but didn't like that I tend to walk the soles off in 3 months so I thought I'd try Hoka to see if they wear better. I walk my pups outside 3-5 miles per weekday morning before work unless it's snowy, icy, or raining. I was hoping to utilize the 30-day guarantee but we had a lot of all 3 weather conditions during this time frame so I missed the deadline. Last year I had 2 foot surgeries on my right foot involving rods & pins, removing a toe knuckle, & realigning a metatarsal joint. The Hoka Bondi 7 fits so perfectly on this surgically repaired foot without causing any pain whatsoever. I always develop blisters on my heels when transitioning to a new style of shoe & it usually takes up to 2 weeks to resolve. Unfortunately after this initial transition, I realized (too late) that about a 1-1/2 to 2 miles into my walks the outter edge of my left foot starts to hurt and a blister starts to reform on the heel of the same foot. The only conclusion I can come up with is that my left shoe is just the slightest bit too narrow. Otherwise these would probably be the most comfort able shoe ever. I'm saddened that I missed the 30-day from purchase window. I wish Hoka had a longer guarantee window like Brooks' 90-day Satisfaction Guarantee. Between the 7 days to arrive, multiple rounds of inclement weather, & transition time there was not enough time to accurately access the shoe. I don't think I will be able to continue wearing these shoes for longer distanced walks however, for short jaunts or everyday wear, they are extremely cushy & comfortable. I'm betting they would be perfect if I had a wider size. My suggestion for Hoka would be to extend the guarantee to at least 60-days. On a side note: My dogs surely prefer these shoes since there's more cushion & bounce back for them when they step on my feet. Cause who wants paw-print-free shoes, anyway.

I love these shoes but they only last 6 months :-( I am a walker, not a runner. I wear them everyday to do a 5 mile walk. Seems they should last longer than 6 months.

I use this product to walk/jog.

These sneakers are very comfortable and offer more cushioning than any others I've ever worn. My only complaint is that they are chunky and not very attractive
