Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

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.

Hands down the most supportive and comfortable shoe. So happy to be able to re-buy and replace worn ones. Hope to re-buy again.

Absolutely love this shoe. I have wide feet and high arches and I feel completely supported in these shoes (I bought the wide version). The sole really reduces impact on my knees. It feels like Im running on clouds, but I have enough traction to maintain a confident stride. Highly recommend.

These shoes are very comfortable. I use them every time I got for a walk or even just go out to have fun. I have a second pair that I wear to do yard work or work in the garden.

Work, fitness

So far so good. I am enjoying my workouts

The X-wide Bondi 7 is perfect for walking & all day comfort.

I purchased the Bondi 7 here initially in 10.5 standard width but had to return for the 10.5 EE or wide... The EE fits perfect and I would probably recommend getting the EE right off the bat, since the standard width runs a bit narrow in the toe box.... (Remember that when ordering if it's your first time wearing this shoe)..... Exchange was flawless and in only in a few days had my new pair and no charge... Shoe is very comfortable and I'll be using it mainly at work, where I walk and stand for 6 to 7 hours... So far they have been great with no issues...Probably the softest most cushioned shoe I have ever owned and I've tried and have many.... If you are looking for cushion for your feet and comfort this shoe is the way to go... Can't speak for running in it though as I really don't do much running anymore... LOL

These shoes are very comfortable. I would recommend them to anyone especially people that are on their feet all day.

These shoes aye fantastic. I suffer from extra bones in my foot witch cause severe pain. These sneakers are plush enough for all day wear. Unlike the Hoka stability shoe I bought witch are too small and not wide enough for being wides these are perfect I bought extra wide and they are great. Super roomy and big enough for my wide feet.

FINALLY a pair of sneakers that lives up to the hype! I work on my feet all day and the summers are the busiest time for me at work. I have bad feet, knee, back and neck. I'm not going to blow smoke and say I never hurt after work now that I bought these shoes, but I can honestly tell you that I walk out of work with maybe a 1/4 of the pain I would always have. I purchased the Clifton 7's in black on black for work, and they were great. I thought if they helped as much as they did then the Bondi 7's in black on black should help even more since they are the most cushioned sneaker HOKA makes. Bondi 7's proved my hopes right! My body's doesn't hurt near as much standing all day at work or afterwards that I actually feel energized enough still to want to do activities after work and enjoy myself more rather than go home and ice/rest everything on me. I'm sold on HOKA. I have 7 pairs total now (multiple Clifton 7's, Bondi 7's, and a speedgoat 4) and are continuing to purchases HOKA brand in the future for multiple activities and everyday wear. My only complaint is that you make women's size 11 1/2 in every shoe. Thanks so much for making a wonderful brand for various activities that also supports diversity and inclusion!

Great comfort, takes stress off my heel, good fit. I wished I had had the years ago while I was walking the deck for swim practice. As a coach, my feet would be tired and I could feel the stress on my back. I have worn Hoka's for the past four years and enjoyed the removal of stress on my feet and back.

These shoes are great and provide all day comfort. Highly recommend!

feel great when I walk. my 3rd pair and I will buy more

Very comfortable shoe

I am a student doing clinical rotations. Working in a hospital involves lots of standing around at times, and these shoes help relieve the pressure in your feet. It honestly feels like I'm standing on a cloud.

Hoka One One was recommended to me by my podiatrist. I have a wide foot and there are few manufacturers that have 4E in product line. Hoka One One Bondi 7 has that option. Very comfortable to wear.

I wear orthotics in my shoes due to torn metatarsal plates in my feet. It feels like these Bondi's were made for me. The extra padding in the soles make it easy to walk as much as I like. Thank you Hoka!!

My husband and I bought a pair of your shoes.they are very comfortable. Our doctor recommended them to us. Good support for our feet. We have recommended them to others. My husband has four pairs.
