Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

I have been buying Bondi since I fell in love with the Bondi 5 - I still feel it has been the best running shoe. The 7 has had some major wear issues when I first got them but Bondi was great and replaced given the timeline until the wear was evident. I have now had the new replacements for approximately 6 months and have put some miles on them. The back of heel/achilles area seems to have consistent wear and is the first part of the shoe to deteriorate. This also occurred for me in the 6, so may be just me. I wear a wide and need the support which the Bondi has...it still is and will continue to be the best running shoe for me, my body and keeps me wanting to run. Always hoping for new improvements with each new edition - all for my own selfish reasons and wanting to run into my old age!!

This pair of shoes has made it possible for me to get out of bed with minimal pain, and finish my 12-14 hour days without wanting to chop my own feet off. They've changed my life and given me the ability to live a fun, productive life again.

I love my Bondi 7s so much that I bought several colors but for some reason the camellia / coastal shade and the black/black shade are very stiff and not as soft and cushiony as the blue fog/blueglass and Harbor Mist / Sharkskin. I did purchase the camelia at REIs and the black pair on Woot as opposed to the Hoka site so I'm not sure if that made any difference. But these are the best sneakers all around! I no longer have knee issues nor mortons neuroma or blisters since wearing Bondis every day.

After wearing my hokas for only a month or two, the back of the ankle in both shoes has gotten holes in them and wore tearing into my ankle and can do longer wear them. For the price of the shoe, they should hold up better than this. I did not wear them any more or done anything different with them than any other shoe I own.
