Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

I've been using Hokas for work as a delivery driver now going on 4 years. These Bondi 7 feel as far as comfort goes just as good as my first pair of Bondi 4s if not maybe even better. the bondi 5&6s while still be very comfortable didn't have that "walking on clouds" feeling but it seems the newest versions due. Ive been on these 7s now for three weeks straight working 50+ hours a week and they still feel fantastic!

I recently purchased the Bondi 7 from my local running store. I just got back into running after taking some years off after burning out a bit from training and racing. I'm not training for anything, but just running to run. I don't track miles, but would estimate I run 10-15 miles on my weekly long runs, which I do back to back long days on Sat./Sun. For years I was in the minimal camp. I've run barefoot. I've run in sandles. And I've run in everything in between. 10 years ago I wouldn't imagine I'd be in a pair of Hokas. I can confidently say that after 3 runs I'll be a customer for life. The Bondi 7 is soft without being squishy. It's roomy but not baggy. And I love that it's only a 4mm drop. Where I was really impressed was when I hopped on to a wooded trail mid-run. I was stepping on roots and rocks and the shoe completely absorbed them. I hardly felt anything. It was like riding a fatbike and just riding over obstacles. I loved it. I'd say the only drawback is that they're on the heavy side. That said, I only use them for my long runs and have a different pair for my hill/tempo run and my recovery run. When my tempo shoes wear out I'll be purchasing a pair of Cliftons to try. Long story short, if you're looking for comfort, try them. You won't be disappointed.

Great

Really like the look and softness to walk on . They are a little tight in front toe area on me but do seem to be looseing up . I will buy again

I bought my shoes for walking. I put in at least 5 miles each day and it is remarkable how fast you can wear a pair of shoes out walking on pavement. These shoes are really comfortable and have great cushion for my feet.

They start out a little stiff. After regular use for a week shoes were amazing, very comfortable and supportive. I do wish they came with more vibrant color choices.

Replacing a pair of Bondi 6's that I had worn out after heavy use. These Bondi 7's are fantastic, after a few weeks of use.

I am new to hoka shoes. First pair I purchased were the carbon shoes and use them to run. They are wonderful. Actually purchased the bondi 7 for work. I work as a cardiovascular surgical tech and on my feet 10-12 hours straight sometimes and these are wonderful for that. I would market to nurses and surgical techs. Never had a more comfortable shoe. Also got the hiking sandal and so comfortable. Hoka will be only shoe I buy

At first I was concerned that they we're narrower than my bondi 6 which I absolutely love and they didn't seem as cushioned but after I wore them I realized they had more support in the arch and the cushion was great so love them

I wear these for work, often over 12 hours a day and never have a problem with my feet. Plenty of cushion and very wide toe box Only disappointed that they do not have a model in leather...

Walking-Cushion Comfort.

I'm so excited about these shoes. I've struggled with heel pain for over a year and have not been able to run more than twice a week. Since i've bought these shoes i've got no heel pain while running and have been able to add an extra day of running every week. The 'high risk' red color is super distinctive and looks great. I have told every runner I know to toss out their old running shoes and invest in Bondi. I'm clearly thrilled!

I have found Hoka's to be a little too narrow for me so I was happy to find a pair that came in wide.

I am 5'11" BMI of 31, so safe to safe I am not petite and my knees ached after a 3 mile walk with some trail shoes form the outdoor apparel company. I heard of Hoka from my friends at work who run marathons. So I figured I would give them a try. Do not let price be an issue. Your body deserves good shoes. The cushioning effect is a relief. My knees do not ache after a 4 mile walk. After a 2 mile jog at a 14min pace its no different. No knee pain. My fleet are flat and the bottom of my right foot always hurt after a long walk. Not with these shoes. The fit did take a little getting used to meaning I had to loosen the laces and adjust appropriately for my width. Made a big difference. Lastly the weight is not an issue. Granted I am not running for hours, but I was concerned that the extra cushioning would feel like a bag of oats after a mile. Nope very light for the duration. Love the fresh colors and stylish looks.

I utilize the shoe as a recovery shoe or for a second run in a day. I don't feel pain in my shins or hip as a might with another shoe when engaging in a second workout. I wish they made the EE shoe in other colors and styles.

Incredibly comfortable shoe, like walking on clouds that offer just the right amount of response & support.

No cons. It's like walking on air and a joy to wear.

Love love them !!!

Good so far. I have had numerous Bondi sneakers and this one feels great.

I am a Hollywood set Plasterer. I'm 6 foot 5 inches tall and weigh 275 pounds. I have purchased over 20 pairs of HOKA shoes from you from Bondi to gaviota to challenger etc. I have had them all. I use them to work in and do my run. The are the best shoe I have ever worn. I order wide and they were good. But the new extra wide is awesome. The only downside to the softer pusher shoe is that I only get about 3-5 months out of a pair. The sole wears out before the top of the shoe does. My feet are one of the most important parts of my work besides my hands and eyes. So I have no problem buying these shoes every few months. Maybe you can start a buy 5 get one free haha jk. Great shoes I not only wear them at work but I wear them everywhere.

I run and walk on pavement, primarily asphalt. This is the 3rd pair of the Bondi model that I have purchased, and I love and need the cushion they provide. My only complaint is their "klunky" appearance when I wear them out with street clothes. But I assume that the primary reason for their rather hefty bulk is the cushion they provide, and I will take the cushion over appearance every time.

This is my second pair of the Bondi. And they are the best sneakers I've ever owned. They are perfect for the 12 hour shifts I work. They are comfortable yet sturdy. I honestly don't know how I lived without them before. They help my feet so much.

I like the shoe a great deal. Feels great, fits great!

The comfort level of the Bondi is better than ever!

Best shoes I've had period.
