It is very comfortable but the cushioning is not as cushy as i expected with so much hype about cushioning, I also wish it was lighter than it is. But overall i still like it. However Its not worth the high price i paid for it

Fit was very good. But since I have Morton's Neuroma my left foot was still sensitive due to something in the design. I am much more comfortable in my Topo Phantoms and do not have the neuroma sensitivity while wearing them. Go figure?.....I wish I COULD. Thankful that Zappos has such a great return policy.

I usually size up, but this felt a half size larger than my Brooks or New Balances, so had to size down half a size from my usual. This is my first pair of Hokas, hoping they will work out. These feel a little heavy but that's probably to be expected due to the plush cushioning.

The shoes were for my wife. They were about a half size too short and too narrow. I returned the shoes and ordered a half size larger and in wide. The new pair were delivered promptly and appear to fit fine.

I really wanted to love these. I've had plantar fasciitis in both of my feet years ago so I've always tried to buy shoes that would support my feet. These shoes for everyday working/walking around are great. But recently I went to universal studios and walked 8-10 miles a day there. By the end of each day my feet hurt and were sore in places I've never been sore before. I was disappointed. That being said at least I didn't re-aggravate my plantar fasciitis. I still wear them day to day at work and they are still great for that :)

I’m so sad I’m going to have to return them. I’ve heard wonderful things about this line of Hoka tenis shoes and I’m not losing hope in finding the right ones. The Bondi 7 are too high I can barely bend down to sit on the carpet with my PreK class, it’s like I’m wearing heels, plus being too bulky. I feel like an astronaut! I’m 53, my knees started to hurt and my left heel, I’ve been wearing them for 9 days trying to break them in but no luck. I’m on my feet and if my feet hurt then the knees follow. I just pray to find the right Hokas. I’ve had plantar fasciitis before and a tiny spur in my left heel. The ball of my heel hurts like crazy and then I start limping. Help! I’m tired of trying on shoes and returning them. Zappos has been so understanding and these footwear is not cheap! Please advise or comment. All suggestions are appreciated. Thank you and God bless.

I found these shoes to be on the wide side, and I wished there was a narrow option for better fit. They also run a little long (I had to go down half a size from my usual). However, the shoe is fantastically squishy and comfortable, it's like walking on bouncy clouds.

I have arthritic knees and need the cushion the Bondi 7's provide. I wear them all the time. These new ones are a bit stiffer than my old ones but am sure they will soften up with time. Looking to purchase another, but am finding the wide sizes are all backordered. Will try again later this month.

These are the most comfortable shoes. Not the most fashionable but most comfortable. I already have a pair so I ordered another just in case they change the style. I have plantar fasciitis and I can already tell the difference in support and comfort.

The hype is true about the cushioning! It is like walking on pillows. However, it does run narrow and I sized up half a size. I really wanted to love this shoe, but unfortunately the arch support area was situated in too far back towards my heel and started to hurt my feet within a few minutes walking around the house. I wanted to give them a second chance and tried them on again a couple days later replacing the sole insert. Same issue! This was how the shoe was designed and it didn’t work for me, so I had to return them. I suggest trying them for yourself…your foot may be a perfect match!

I love these shoes so much that I have three pair and am looking at some of the other colors. I've always been an ASICS Kayano fan for walking and everyday wear, but developed plantar fasciitis and some heel spurs when I started walking a lot, following back surgery. So I found these and love them. However.the back of the shoe, although nicely cushioned is not sturdy and falls. It's like a memory foam that gets pushed down when you put your foot inside. And once it's down there it makes your foot feel like it's slipping out. I called Hoka and they were amazing and sent me a new pair, but advised me that since it wasn't a "defect", but the way I put my foot into the shoe (I don't think I'm doing something unusual), I should use a shoe horn to slide my foot into the shoe, so I don't push down the cushion in the back. What?!!??? This is definitely a defect in the shoe design; I've never had an issue with ASICS, Nike, New Balance, Adidas or Brooks (and yes, I've worn all those brands). Please do something about this issue. I can't believe I'm sliding my foot into the shoe differently than probably 100% of the world and don't have time to grab a shoe horn each time I put on a tennis shoe. With that said, I am still going to buy another pair cuz I love everything else about this shoe and Hokaplus I like to match my shoes to my workout wear. P.S. System doesn't seem to allow me to add pics, or I'd show you what I'm talking about.

This is the third pair of Hokas I have purchased, but first pair of Hoka Bondis. I have always gotten Cliftons in the past and have loved them. Zappos hasn't had my size available for a long time , so I decided to try the Bondis. They run a little larger than the Cliftons and aren't as comfortable. Hopefully, when its time to get a new pair, the Cliftons will be available in all the sizes and colors.

I am missing the arch support I need. I have a very high arch. Other than that these are really comfortable. Almost perfect. Soft and cushy. But I can’t help but picture myself as Frankenstein with those big clodhoppers. They aren’t not the most attractive shoe. Bulky looking and zero style. I don’t need a lot of pizzazz, but these look cheaper than they sell for.

These are great! Work 12 plus hour shifts and have no problem with these shoes. I own several pairs. Like some of the old colors better, like the bright pink.

I always wear a size 10 and this particular shoe I had to size down a half size. Very comfortable and I like the color combo as well. The style when you look in the mirror and see the taller thick sole makes me think of an “old person shoe” lol…HOWEVER, the shoe is very comfortable and you realize you really don’t care about the sole look after all! Lol!
