Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

I've always worn the Clifton and Rincon. I really like the Clifton but the Rincon didn't provide enough support for all day wear. I decided to try the Bondi 8. I really wanted to love them but they weren't comfortable and the wide toe box made my feet look huge! When the Bondi 7 became available I thought they might be better than the 8's and I was right! I absolutely love these shoes!! Please bring them back permanently!!

I agree with other reviewers who have said that the Bondi 7 is a much better shoe than the Bondi 8. The Bondi 7 solved all of my foot issues. Unfortunately, the Bondi 8 brought them all back and I have been in search of a replacement shoe ever since......... Please please please keep making the Bondi 7. I have been lost without them. And as others have said, please bring back more interesting colors. If you keep making them, you will have a customer for life.

I hope u have this shoe FOREVER!!!! I am not a fan of the bondi 8 it is a completely different shoe from the 7. This shoe fits me perfectly and I can wear it all day. PLEASE keep a version of this in wide, in a 10.5, in stock til I no longer need them. PLEASE and Thank you!!!

I love the shoes. I have bondi8 and bobdi7. The 7 has a larger toe box, and feels more accommodating all around. They feel like air actually gets through and I get a cooling sensation. The only odd thing, is, I ordered a white pair of the Bondi7, but, they are the weirdest color. Soft blue in some light, white-ish in others.. almost a lilac in other light. Not horrible, but not a straight up white that I expected.

I'm new to the Bondi line. After many rave reviews from friends & co-workers I decided to give them a try. I purchased 2 pairs, the Bondi 8 and the Bondi 7. I wore the Bondi 8 for 4 weeks before changing to the Bondi 7 for 4 weeks. Absolutely and irrevocably, the Bondi 7 is the far superior shoe. My only issue with the Bondi 7 is limited color selection. While the color selections of the Bondi 8 are great, sadly, that's all that is. If the Bondi 7 does not return I will not return as a customer.

I have 6 pairs of Hoka's, different styles and nothing compares to the Bondi 7. I woke up to an email this morning Stating that the Bondi 7 is back for a limited time. I jumped on it as fast as I could, because I know in a short time they will be sold out. Even though I have other Hoka's, Nothing compares to the Bondi 7. Hands down, I've been wearing my old ones for 3 yrs now and my others still sitting in the closet all pretty but not as comfortable. Thanks for bringing them back, hopefully keeping them and adding new colors. #LoveMyHokas #HokaGirlForLife #LisaJohnson

I love these shoes and was heartbroken when they stopped making them. The Bondi 8s aren't the same - they are too wide in the forefront of the foot. I have a bad knee and hip and these provide wonderful cushioning. I have multiple pairs and hope they will continue to make them.

Recently I saw the Bondi 7 was available for a limited time and I was thrilled. I have 4 pairs of Hoka shoes. Three Bondi 7 and one Bondi 8. The Bondi 7's are to me the best fit and design. The Bondi 8 has a very wide fit at the front making me feel like I'm walking on a platypus. The Bondi 7 however has a more narrow sole and doesn't feel clumsy to walk in. I would buy additional Bondi 7's but wouldn't purchase the Bondi 8's again.

I am a physical therapist who has had previous surgery on both feet in 1993. After all these years, I found Bondi 7s. WOW. Game changer for me! No longer need to wear orthotics with these. Walking on clouds! Bought Bondi 8's. My feet were killing me for the few days I wore them. Had to return. My coworker has had the same problem. Not as much cushion in forefoot. Maybe the wider toe box does not offer enough support? I was able to purchase 2 pairs of 7's on the day they brought them back. One is on back order. Please bring them back so I can order more. I am hoping Bondi 9's will be more like the 7's. I refer Hoka to my patients!

Pleeeeease pleeeease pleeeeease restock these!!! I need more! And while you're at it, please bring back cool colors!

Wonderful to have the Bondi 7 back again. Thank you Hoka for bringing them back. I love the new colors. I prefer these new more subtle colorss. It feels like there is more room in the toe box which is great.

Thank goodness the Bondi 7 was resurrected and I was able to grab a pair before they sold out. Shouldn't that tell the company something, how quickly this style sold? I bought ice blue this time, a softer color that the bright orange or turquoise available in previous years. I love the understated color. And what can I say about the fit and comfort? If they weren't great, these shoes wouldn't be so popular. Ordering, shipping and delivery time were all easy and issue-free.

Reason I ordered Bondi 7 I prefer the less wide/clunky heal. Wish they'd go back to that style for future Bondi 9's. But I do like the tongue attachment to the inner side (Bondi 8) so that is my suggestions for Bondi 9return to narrower heal (like the 7's) PLUS the tongue attachment (Bondi 8) !!! Let's do: 7 + 8 = 9 Bondi

This particular shoe is perfect for me: the newer Bondi NOT so much. I would love to be able to keep buying the Bondi 7... they went so fast I was only able to get the one pair. I really would like a blue one if they become available in size 9. I thought I ordered a black one but maybe not available because never received or billed for same...... My feet LOVE the 7

So happy you brought back Bondi 7. By far my favorite!

Was very excited to see a re-release of the Bondi 7, even if it's a limited time release. I've been wearing Bondi running shoes since 2017 on the advice of my foot surgeon. I love the fit and plush cushioning. I would love to see an original Bondi design be available always, the new design of the Bondi & Clifton do not fit my foot as well and aren't nearly as comfortable they are both too wide and the Bondi 8 does not fit true to size like past designs. . For that matter please reach back in to the archives and bring back the Akasa & Tivra. There are a lot of us non runners out there who where Hoka on advice of doctors, want a really comfortable shoe or just a fun one. But some of the new redesigns are not suitable for everyday wear. And I realize you began as a trail running shoe, and cater to distance runners, but there are a lot of us out there who wear them in everyday life and just want a great shoe. I myself have a stock pile of Hokas to fit my outfit and mood. Definitely recommend the Bondi 7 over the 8

When I am wearing them I feel like nothing is on my feet.

I absolutely love these shoes! The interiors are very soft yet supportive, and really helps my Achilles tendinitis. Grate for walking, traveling, and every day wear. They're also super trendy and stylish!

I love the Bondi 7. First, they are so comfortable! They have a roomy toe box - I tried the wides but they were too wide. I have a big foot (11) and the Bondi 7 looks so much smaller than the Bondi 8. I'm so glad I was able to get one during the re-release!

The newer Bondi 8's has a broader heel than the 7's which l prefer.

The cushion is great! I use these for every day wear as well as walking my dogs 2-3 miles per day.

everything about the bondi 7 made me fall in love with it, comfort, toe box size, overall design, cushioning, large toe box. Tried Bondi 8 and did not like it. IF the design stays the same with the narrow toe box and current fit, will have to change the style and manufacture. Want the bondi 7 to remain on the market..

I bought these for my daughter for her birthday! She loves them.
