Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

Whatever manufacturer contract changed after 2021 when I bought my first pair was a terrible decision. Not to mention the hype about bringing the 7 series back. I still had my original pair from 2021 to compare. I was SO EXCITED they brought them back because the 8s were terrible on my feet! So I jumped hard when the 7s came back even thought about buying 2 pair because "limited stock/availability." I'm glad I didn't. They went super cheap on the inside structure, especially for the back collar/heel. The old one had memory foam. You know the kind that secured you in but allowed movement without blistering. This foam extended just below the inside of your ankle joint. Offering superior support. Yeah, now it's just cheap foam that stops short. Even the height of the heel to ankle ratio was shortened. Giving less support! I ran through the 8s within 4 months of wear. The 7s aren't any better...The insoles are thin with barely a shape and when you press down on the actual base the old 7s have a slight give where the new ones stay hard. Even the tongue is thinner compared to the original version. If I could post pictures to show these differences I would do a side by side. So disappointed and upset at the deception!

good stability. easily accommodates prescribed insert .

although a little clunky looking I truly appreciate the support and comfort they provide

4th pair I've purchased. I usually get them from JD sport. However I used the site this time. I am not sure what the difference is but he says they are to right. It's literally the same shoe I'm not sure if they are wide from the sneakers store and not on the site but I sadly have to return them. My husband has sneaker feet is what I call them so they are very square.. I will see if they have wide.

The Bondi 7 are the best version of the shoes. I cannot stand the 8 or 9. I wish they would keep the 7s In stock, in a different color other than white. These have been the most helpful shoes for my feet pain.

Like strapping your couch cushions on your feet! The MOST comfortable shoes!

I am not happy like before. I have had quite a few pairs of the Bondi 7, and all were very plush. These are not. They are not made the same. Very disappointed, and I don't usually write bad reviews at all. They are black, and I wanted black, since I never bought black. I will probably keep them for the nice color.

Did extensive research for the perfect shoe. I was skeptical as some reviews had me worried regarding various pros n cons. This shoe works for me. Just the right cushion for long shifts x 3 consecutive days. Feels like walking on clouds. Would highly recommend. Would purchase again. Quick delivery.

Fits ok. The difference between these shoes and the Bondi 8s that I have us that there doesn't seem to be as much cushion in the sole, esp the ball of the foot . And are less waterproof too. But overall, they are comfortable.

This is the most comfortable shoes to wear over 10 hrs working shift. I will buy it again and again.

I ordered these bondi shoes hookah here and sadly they are defective didn't realize it until the plastic piece popped out and I got blisters all over my heel I can't wear them just bought them 4 months ago can't get no one to help me no one will answer the phones I'm so upset I tell you don't get these they'll have plastic piece pop out in few months in the heel so be careful if u buy these !

Why is it that Bondi 7 (best shoe of all) aren't offered in colors? We're waiting............

I got these shoes but they were a size too small, they have been returned a week ago and after the return confirmation comes in I will be buying them in the correct size. I'm so excited to try them and wear them!

I was hoping that the Bondi 7 shoe was going to be the answer to my prayers for a great show. They are no more comfortable or uncomfortable than my Sketchers I have. And for the price I paid, I definitely wanted a better outcome.

I stand all day for work. Comfortable shoes!

I've had plantar fasciitis for a couple years. Been wearing Kuru's which have helped for work shoes. But this last pair hasn't worked so many people have been saying to try Hokas so I did. My heel pain has subsided quite a bit just in a few days. Pretty happy so far. Wish Hoka could come out with more a work shoe style instead of tennis shoe style.

Very very comfortable . But! I unfortunately can't give 5 stars because: 1) lack of stability causing me to almost twist my ankles 2) on the inside, the hard part in the backing somehow came out and pokes through the bit of cushion and i can no longer wear them because they cut into the back of my ankles. I've never experienced this with any other shoe. And it is so hard that I can not cut it 3) for the price and the fact that I only walked in them I dont think the exterior should have had wear and tear like it did. I'm keeping 4 stars because when i could wear them they were the most comfortable shoes i had owned

My husband and I have been wearing Hoka Bondi's for 8 years. We have loved every pair until this last run of Bondi's. The bottoms wear out faster, the heel cup wears a hole after 30 days and they have lost that "MOST AMAZING SHOE IN THE WORLD" feel. I guess when a company becomes a "BILLION DOLLAR!!!" shoe company, they stop worrying about design quality. I used to sing the praises of my Bondi's....sadly no more....

Amazing choice for running, only 4mm drop which makes it very stable and forgiving when running longer distances. Bondi's are my favorite model, feels like you are walking on clouds as well as very supportive.

Comfortable and supportive.

I feel so much better at the end of the day after wearing these shoes.

Our daughter is a waitress and is on her feet most of the day. Plus she is pregnant. Got her a pair for her birthday and she loves them. She has tried many other name brands shoes over the years and these are the best!

I bought a pair of Hoka Bondi shoes on 11/01/2024, and they arrived on time. I was very excited to use them. However, after just one day of wearing them (not running, just standing on a concrete floor), I found that the bottom layer of the sole was completely detached and deformed! I sent pictures to claim the warranty, and even though the issue was obvious, they asked me to send in the shoes. I was given a UPS label and shipped them on 12/31/2024. The package never left their facilitythey lost the package! Since the beginning of January, I've been calling to resolve this issue, and I was initially told I would receive a full refund. However, after more than 7 calls, they gave me a store credit, despite my clear instructions that I never wanted to buy their shoes again. Now I'm forced into purchasing from them again. Total rip-off! I am so disappointed and will never buy from Hoka again. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this brand!

I received these for a Christmas gift from my husband and I wore them for the first time January 25th. In less than 30 minutes into my walking the left tennis shoe was rubbing against my ankle. By the time I got back home my skin was broken and it caused a sore on my ankle. I am hoping I can return these expensive tennis. I am willing to try a different style because of the reputation of the company.

easy to order, found size and color, delivery was prompt too.
