These shoes are really soft and their height takes getting used to. I am returning mine because they make my hip hurt when I run. I could see how someone who stands on their feet all day though, would love these. I just cant run in them.

The shoes are great and better than anything Ive purchased in the past. Un fortunately Im currently over 300 lbs and like all other shoes these have kind of crushed down. It just didnt happen as quick. So im saving money now so I can get two pair and maybe changing my sole selection. Any advice would help

It was nobody's fault that the shoe didn't fit. However, sent them back the day after it arrived, am still awaiting my refund and beginning to get nervous.

These shoes were recommended to me by a podiatrist to address my plantar’s fasciitis. The shoe definitely cushioned my heel but the arches felt like they were giving me blisters when I tried to run in them. I will try them again. I’m hoping I will eventually get used to the discomfort.

First time trying Bondi. Still breaking them in after 3 months of wear and 100 miles. Square toe box, heavier than other Hoka shoes

It was not the right Hoka for me. I loved the cushioning, but I needed more stability, so the Gaviota was the style that works best for me.
Please make more Gaviota colors, preferably medium or dark gray.

I have been wearing women’s Bondi 7 for the past year and love them. However, when I wanted to order another pair Zappos did not have my size. So I decided to order the Bondi 7 in men’s. I am sorely disappointed as these feel narrow and not nearly as cushy as my 1 year old women’s. I have worn them for 3 days thinking they just needed “breaking in” but I don’t think it will make a difference. Very sad.

I am a big fan of HOKA and have owned 4 pair of Bondi's. I am not very happy with this new pair I just received and have stopped wearing them. Inside of the heel area of my foot is hurting every time I wear them, not really sure what they changed but happy at all.

My Bondi 7 was a gift. The shoe is awesome. However the fit & width were a little off. I wear a 12 women's and I received a 10.5 men's. The shoe was just a bit too small. My toe was against the top of the shoes. I've ordered a new pair in a larger size. Hope this helps.

Over all very solid craftsmanship and style.
But the toe box was quite wide or big enough
Decided to return them as I didn't think wear would lessen them up

Everything was excellent except for durability. They lasted about 3.5 months. I received about May 1 and about August 8, I noticed the the sides on the outside of the foot had worn through on both shoes.

I returned this shoe after a few days of inside wear. The toe box is really small compared to my normal Brooks shoes. It was very comfortable otherwise but squeezed my toes too much.

I bought these shoes because they were recommended for plantar fasciitis. At this point in my usage I do not think they are helping. I have had them about two weeks and wear them every other day. Usually my feet are hurting by the afternoon. Hopefully it will get better.

I use for long walks. Noticed I am getting a blister on the insides of both heals. Suspect the heal portion is too narrow but now have 13E after returning the 13D for the same problem. Otherwise nice cushioning for a walking/running shoe.

The step is truly plush after a few wears. The shoe is durable. Will easily go 500+ miles but the 'wide' option is not truly wide. It's just wider. I'm a 2E and this was not for me. If you have a narrower or standard foot in width, 100% recommend.

I had foot surgery and these are one of the few shoes that allow me to walk pain free. I have had several pair of this shoe and this is the first pair within the first 200 miles of daily walking the bottom has become unglued. I believe this is a flaw and not the norm.

It was recommended I buy a men's 7.5 since I couldn't get a light color in 8.5 wide. This didn't work at all. The men's shoe was way to narrow. I do have an 8.5 wide women's Bondi 7 which I love. Wide women's shoes are hard to buy because they just don't make many. I'd buy another pair if I could get the correct size.
Their return policy is wonderful. NO questions asked. The emailed a return label and off they went!
If this were about the pair I own I'd have given this rating a 5.

The toe box is too narrow, so I bought a wide and wore it for six months. It was also too narrow and caused blisters on my toes, so I ordered an extra wide. My toes no longer rub against the shoe but I've lost some support because I really don't have an extra large foot. Finally, and this is true across all widths the toe off is terrible. No support at the front of the foot. The only true positive is it has great cushioning at the heal.

Hoka mens bondi blue teal not offered in any size as extra wid(4E). So I took a chance on med wide, big mistake, feet swell and ache. Also have a grey and a black pair 4E, feel good. Why so few bondi colors with 4E an option

I rotate 2-3 Bondi for a daily Run/Walk routine 1 hour per day. I also, use these shoes for casual wear.
The Bondi 6 was great, and the the Bondi 7 is different, but still a great shoe. However, I purchased a Black/White pair mid cycle and they were not as plush. After 30 days+, I returned them for another Black version. This one, also is not as plush as the mid-cycle Bondi 6 or the 2 early cycle Bondi 7"s. Are they being made at a different facility? Have the specs and/or materials been changed to save costs?

I am letting you know that Bondi makes an outstanding product, but my problem is why that when you have a shoe that is perfect in all ways that you decide to change it to another shoe. The Bondi 6 are better fitting then the Bondi 7 and for that reason in the future I will be going back to Sketchers sneakers. I originally purchased the Bondi 7 13D and then exchange it for the Bondi 7 13EE. Neither one was as perfect as the Bondi 6 13D.

I have been purchasing Hoka Bondis for 4 years now & have all the colors released with each new number4-7. As a fitness instructor/PT for the YMCA, I have turned several people into Hoka followers including my husband. The pair I received last week fit as expected but the left heel keeps caving in when I put them on which is something I have never dealt with. Should I request a new left shoe?
Also, do you have an instructor discount program? If so, I would love to join!
