Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

Probably the best sneaker I've ever worn. Great fit, support, stability and cushioning. No other shoe I've worn comes close.

This is not the review you're looking for but it's the truth. I stand on a deadman switch on a forklift for 10 hours a day and weigh about 300 pounds and i'm old. I had severe foot pain. I couldn't continue like I was so I did a lot of research on footwear and after investing in better shoes it's all gone. first, if you're spending $50 on some memory foam skechers and getting away with it god bless you. i did that and the memory foam lost its memory really quickly. I got a pair of Brooks Adrenalin and a couple pairs of Bondi 7 so I have enough shoes to rotate. The extra wide option on the Bondi made these perfect as the brooks are a little snug and i have flat feet so the extra arch support is annoying. They all have nice cushioning but the Bondi are literally like walking on marshmallows on streets made of clouds. I float. the amount of cushioning takes a little while to get used to but it absolutely works. i also got a pair of nike. any of their shoes with the react sole will give you the same support and feel except the soles feel 50% thinner so they are easier to adjust to. in all of the shoes i mentioned you never feel any ground impact. haven't given them a hard gym workout yet but they do just fine walking on a treadmill. hope this helps someone. oh, the hoka are hideously ugly as are the brooks (beauty is in the eye of the beholder but i do get mocked by my peers). the nike are much more stylish. but if you're looking for function over form, they are all good and you should expect to spend anywhere from $125-$200 for that function but it's money well spent.
