Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

I'll start by saying I am not a runner, I wear a women's 11.5 (difficult to find in any type of supportive, well made shoes) and I'm under the care of a podiatrist for inflammation in both feet and a Morton's Neuroma in one foot. I purchased the Bondi 7 in women's (12 width) and men's (10.5 regular width). I found them to have great cushioning but neither worked for me in width. I could feel the rubber part pressing on the sides of my feet. Also I felt like they looked huge. Sadly, I returned both. I'm going to try the Clifton.

Shoe feels great. My only concern is that the tread at the heel is wearing too fast. I walk between 4 to 5 miles several days a week, and the tread appears to wear faster than other brands

I found the inserts to be flimsy and invested in a runner's insert.

I don't have direct experience with this model, but i do with about a dozen others including earlier and the one later version of Bondi. Bondi is the most cushioned of the Hokas. And Hokas in my experience are the best running/walking/casual shoe on the market.

I am a physical education instructor. I am on my feet all day. I love my HOKAs. I have found that they tend to wear out fairly quick in the heal area. If there is any way to find a different material or support in the heal area, it would be an improvement to an already great shoe.

It's almost pointless to review a show that is no longer in production but for anyone buying the liquidators stock here is my input. Overall it's a good shoe. Very stable and useful. I have a wide foot and a high arch so I had to buy one size up and wide width. My only complaint is the tongue slips down when you put your foot in. I have 2 pair of Clifton 8 Hokas and they have an elastic piece swen on to the tongue to the sides to prevent slipping. These Bondi 7 have nothing to to hold the tongue in place. It's annoying to have to reach down and wrestle the tongue into position. Otherwise a good shoe that really helps prevent foot pain.

Comfortable And Gives Me Great Support For A Good Treadmill Workout Unlike Other Brands

Had to be talked into these shoes, but the price is worth the comfort.

This is my second pair of Hoka Bondi shoes. I'm 6'03" and 225 lbs with a size 13EE foot, which eliminates most shoes I find in the stores. These fit like a glove and I can wear them all day. Great cushion and they feel stable. My only issue is that the laces are too short to easily use the extra eyelets for stability, and I cannot seem to find an area to order longer laces on the website. .

I bought two pairs of Bondi 7s and one pair of Bondi 8. All three pairs squeak when you walk. I had a pair of Bondi 6 that had the same issue, but I had hoped they would have addressed the issue. Apparently not.

I've owned over 20 pair of Hoka's which all have been great purchases but, why on earth would you make such a great shoe with the industry's worst laces. Every single pair of my HOKA's have to be double knotted. Does anyone ever test this out for them selves?

Toughest shoe laces ever.

Just coming off a stress fracture. Was looking for a little more padding for a running shoe. This absolutely met my expectations. Fits well. Provides added cushioning. I've been back running for a month without any issues. Would recommend this shoe especially if you have had stress fractures in the past.

I have worn bondi7 for years and when they went on sale, I was thrilled. But the women's sold out. Bought the men's. Still wonderful when you have to work on your feet for 12 hrs. The men's wide just doesn't fit exactly the same. The toe area just isn't the same.

Very comfortable however sole and insides not durable

The shoe lives uo to all expectations. I got a different color from the one I ordered, but I am not one to be precious about the color.

The shoes are my back up shoes when I wear out my current one. Ready for spring!

There needs to be more colors in the wide & extra-wide sizes.

It's a bit narrower than I expected, but still comfortable. I mainly walk, with a bit of jogging interspersed.

Use mainly for gym or leisurely. They are comfy but for that price I expected better.
