Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

Very light weight . Insoles fit my feet properly.

I've been wearing Bondi for years. This is the best looking one yet!

It is the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. I was buying Dansko, which are comfortable but do not last and Hoka is ten times more comfortable, for the exact same price. They also look amazing and make look less old. I am obviously giddy about the purchase.

i have been competing at running for 54 years and had a terrible case of plantar fasciitis the past three months. im confident the cushioning and shock absorbtion from this shoe will protect me from the same injury as well as any other injuries! im super happy with this show :) in my prime i have run a 2:42 marathon and 32 minute 10k and im confident this shoe will help me to stay injury free :)

I use them for work, I'm on my feet for up to 8-10 hours a day and walk about 5 miles per day in them. I have feet and ankle issues and they've minimized the aches and pains that come with that, they've helped me tremendously and I would definitely recommend these for anyone with these types of issues.

Comfort

Love the feel and comfort on my feet

I use these as my everyday shoes. I am an active adult male and have plantar fasciitis and these are by far the most comfortable shoe I have worn.

I normally buy the Elevon. I decided to try these Bondi. I love the extra width these shoes offer. I use them for work now. So comfortable.

Love the support and cushioning. Most comfortable shoe ever.

Bought Speedgoat a month before the Bondi. Love the Speedgoat but the Bondi caused a blister after 3 days. Had to return the Bondi with a hassle free return policy. Overall an excellent experience with HOKA! Love the Speedgoat!

Most comfortable ever,

Very sturdy.

They were a gift. I've been told they are very comfy and his feet no longer hurt.

Great feel! Work long hours as a nurse and these are the absolute best shoes brand and this particular style.

Will buy these shoes again and again. Working on my feet all day and these shoes feel like walking on clouds.

My Doctor a (Podiatrist) who was helping me with severe Plantar Fasciitis pain and some other foot issues said I should get HOKA Bondi 7 running shoes. I am not a runner, in fact I hate running. Now don't get me wrong I am not anti fitness. I like lifting weights and swimming and biking but running has never been my thing. So I never considered spending a lot on running shoes. Why would I when I would rather do anything other than run? But I must admit my Doc was he right. These are the most amazing shoes. Even if you are not a runner like me you will not regret the money spent. Just 6 weeks ago I was unable to even walk my dog around the block even after 2 cortisone shots. So I followed the docs advice and got the Bondi 7's he recommended and now I wear them almost all the time. I just did a 6.5 mile hike the other day in them and had almost no pain. Great running shoes really do make a difference and can be very beneficial for those like me with foot problems. I will definitely be getting more shoes from HOKA I really want to try the hiking/Trail running shoes as that's far more my type of activity but for now I will be wearing Bondi 7 into the future as my every day shoe to keep my Plantar Fasciitis check.

My husband bought a pair and told me how comfortable they were several times so I decided to try them for my self. I am so glad I did. They are so comfortable and stylish too. I have a lot of foot problems but really find these comfortable I would but these again..

Will stick with Bondi

Wow !! Theses are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I will never buy anything but Hoka's ever again. Very happy.

I had originally bought Clifton 8 from Hoka, but those were too narrow so I returned them thinking I'd better actually try on other pairs since they are available locally. At REI they only had Clifton 7s, way too narrow, and even in wide were pretty snug. Then tried the Bondi 7s, too snug in the standard width but felt really good in wide. This has been a dilemma for me because measuring my feet and even going by Hoka's own sizing chart my feet are not wide. But as the salesman and reviewers here have noted Hoka's tend to be narrow in most versions. I initially tried on my usual 11.5 which felt pretty good but I wanted to check and also tried on a 12, which is what I bought. The difference in where my longest toe ended in the shoe was minimal so I thought the slightly longer ones would be more comfortable over time. I have been very happy overall and would have probably been fine in the 11.5 - my feet measure exactly 11" or 27.9cm in length and just under 105mm in width. So there is a little heel slip, I'm a walker not a runner and I always wear socks so it's not an issue for me, just noticeable. Might be a problem for runners but not likely if you get your normal size and not a wide. Compared to my regular run around shoes, Lems Chillums, there is a massive amount of cushioning. The Lems are a minimally cushioned, zero drop heel, shoe. Not a barefoot shoe but fairly minimal. Very light and comfortable for just running around during the day, however using such shoes on my rapid (for me) exercise walks caused some pain in my problem knee. I dont know how people run in such shoes or the true barefoot style ones. No such issue with the Bondis. When I did run regularly these would have been a dream. I don't believe this amount of cushioning is necessary for normal routine activities but for more vigorous (for me) pursuits they've been wonderful. Even just doing my rapid walks I feel a nice spring to my stride. I highly recommend these.
