Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

Good fit, A little stiff but tremendous support. I relly liked them for my first walk!

The fit is good/true and these are comfortable out of the box. That said, there’s a bit too much cushion for my taste; they actually feel kind of cumbersome at times. Think I’ll likely go back to my ASICS Kayanos.

Well, good news and then bad news: They are well made and super cushy- wow! They have relieved pain and provided support for a plantar plate ligament tear. I feel that I will likely heal well in these shoes. The bad news is that they are super thick and to me, so clunky. I would never buy this style if I didn't have to for my foot health. They are not at all sexy- I feel like Herman Munster. It is maybe just me, the one who loves to run in the grass barefoot... (probably why I am injured)! The family says they look fine but I think they are just helping me to feel better. Imagine running shoes that are as thick as rugged snow boots- lol. I am keeping them and wearing them, like a good girl. Maybe I will learn to love them?

I just didn't love them. When I tried on, they didn't quite feel the comfort or "ahhhhhhh" feeling I am looking for. I think I will try a different Hoka style.

Returned them but not because I didn’t love the looks of them…my heel slid up and down a little and I tried three different sizes and tried to use the extra lacing holes, but couldn’t resolve this issue for me.

I do love these shoes. I wore them immediately. They are super comfortable and fit well. My only criticism is that they are clunky looking. So if you want comfort these are great. If you want a sleek fashionable look these are not for you. I'll take the comfort!

I really wanted to like these, but for some reason the right shoe hurt the outer edge of my foot. I have had plantar fasciitis and must be careful about the shoes I wear for any length of time. there are very few shoes that don’t make my feet hurt. Several of my friends wear Hokas and love them.

These run big, so order at least a 1/2 size down. Very cushiony like walking on a cloud! I would’ve given 5 stars all around, but for 2 things: the price, and a minor fit issue that might be from my foot or from the size I ordered. These shoes feel super roomy except for the sides right at the ball of the foot. Maybe I should’ve order a full size smaller rather than a 1/2 so my foot would sit farther into the wide toe box. Still wearable and offer great support and a soft step.

I love these shoes so much, I wear them every day! I give them a 4 out of 5 stars though for the design changes between the Bondi 6 and these Bondi 7's. The changes Hoka made were not an improvement. The heel compartment is so wide I have to use the final lace hole to keep the heel from slipping. The pull loop is located too low on the back of the shoe and does not prevent the material on the inside of the heel from bunching up. There's also a tightness across the instep that wasn't there before. The Bondi 6 didn't have any of these issues and the Bondi 7's have more than necessary. The support materials in these shoes wears out more rapidly than other brands. I still love them though.

I have been wearing the Hoka Bondi 7 for two years. I don’t know why they have to change things. It is narrower and left arch in the foot bed. They are going back.

So comfortable and the cushion I need in combination with my orthotics. I use these for my workouts and couldn't be happier with a cushioned shoe.
