Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

I ordered the Bondi 7 as I needed a darker color shoe. Still have my Bondi 6 pair but in a very light blue color which looks dirty very quickly. I still love my Bondi 6. The Bondi 7 is a really good shoe, but seems a little smaller in the toe box as it puts more pressure on my left pinky toe whereas my Bondi 6 do not. It may be the new rubberized reinforcement that is causing this as the Bondi 6 is not as stiff in the toe area. I do have orthotics in the shoe, so I ordered a 9 wide, the same same as my Bondi 6 pair. Also, the 7 s cushion seems stiffer than the 6, but they get softer when I break them in more. Otherwise I do like the shoe, but wish the toe area in the 7 was a little more comfortable.

They r nice , run a little small,

Wish I would have gotten a half size smaller. Fairly wide shoe thru the toe bed. But besides that my feet feel great!

I really lime these shoes just wish I had known they run big, the ones I have are an 8 but I think I should have had a 7 1/2

These came well reviewed from several of my coworkers. I have a bunion on my left foot and mild plantar fasciitis. My bunion sometimes rubs on the left foot and I sometimes still experience foot pain with rest, but overall these are some of the best nursing shoes I've had so far. I think the only one I preferred more was the Altra Torin 4 because they are naturally a little wider without having to buy the wide size. :) I like the "rocker" feel that these have that is similar to clogs but the shoes are not as heavy as clogs.

I love the color but the comfort factor has been getting poor as if they are cutting corners or possibly fake? I really hate to say this as I have bought sssooo many pairs that were amazing!

The inside s are too rough and scratched my skin.

I wear them for work and walking my dog. The bad thing about them is they are not waterproof. I need waterproof.

in leather. I had a pair of Bondi 6 shoes in leather, and they were great. I water proofed them and wore them all winter on walks with my dog. Went to replace them, and. . . no longer made. Bought the SR, but it is NOT a walking shoe--too narrow. So I replaced my leather shoes with the mesh ones, but I'm not happy about it.

The Bondi 7 are super comfortable: the size, the width; but I think they need the support in the heel; In other words, continues the sole towards the heel since in my case I feel a bit of imbalance in that area and consequently it gives me pain in the heels and the achilles tendon. Otherwise excellent!

Second pair and they are my favorite running shoes ever!

I found my size through the "hoka shoe finder" option on the site. Transferring over from Brooks, they recommend a regular size 7. However, I was told by friends that hoka runs narrow. So I hesitated on the wide, but they fit very well! The cushion is okay. It has a little bounce to it. My brooks in a similar style hugged my ankle a little more that felt like more support.
