Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

This is my second pair and I loved my first pair this one seems arch support is not there and sometimes have to fight through the discomfort

The shoe is noticeably heavier than my previous running shoes. The cushioning in the sole is also not as springy as the New Balance fresh foam (just as an example). Will wear them into the ground, but probably won't buy them again.

It is a great shoe to run in but they wear out way too fast.

The sales person in Freeport, Brian, was excellent. As I walked through the store with my new Hokas in hand, every salesperson I passed, congratulated me on this purchase. I could tell these sneakers were very comfortable when I tried them on but wearing them for extended periods proved impossible. I have a condition on my left foot called metatarsalgia. There is no way to tell if a particular pair of shoes will be ok without taking a couple of long walks. Unfortunatel, I was unable to keep these.

I had a pair of Bondi 7 last year and they were the most comfortable pair of walking shoes that I've ever owned. Like all good things, they wore out so I ordered another pair this spring. Unfortunately this pair is nothing like the previous pair. The cushioning in the insoles feel like they've already worn out. My soles of my feet burn after a few miles. My previous pair fit like gloves. Sadly not this pair. It is hard to pinpoint exactly what is different but it doesn't feel the the same shoes as my original psir

I have three pair of Hoka. I have had all three for about six months. All three pair have deteriorated so badly in the inside heel the plastic is entirely exposed. I rotate pairs. I don't wear them in wet conditions. I tried heal lockdown. Considering the price of these shoes, I feel they should last AT LEAST a year!

I've run in Saucony's for the past 4 years and needed a new pair of running shoes. My wife has some Hoka's and told me to give them a try...."they are so cushiony" Because of the big sole I thought they would be but no. Now I have a big clunky looking shoe that makes me taller but not more comfortable.

I am 240 lbs an walk 5 miles a day on mostly concrete sidewalks, granted these shoes are an upgrade from my Nike Air Monarch shoes, however the shoes seem to run a bit narrow and are not as comfortable as expected. At $170 delivered to my home in Arizona i will explore other options before I spend that kind of money on these shoes (BONDI7).

The left shoe hurts my foot almost like the left shoe isn't exactly the same size as the right one. I never had this problem before with other brands.

Very comfortable and love the comfort. However, I was not happy with the way the longevity of the souls. It started wearing down after five weeks

This may be a great shoe for some, but it was not cut/made low enough for my ankle bone

I wanted to like these shoes, and they are certainly cushioned very well and rather stylish. But I've now bought these in two different widths and they're just too narrow in the toe for some reason. The rest of them seems to be the right size, but my toes really get pinched so I don't wear either pair. Maybe there's a size and width that would work, but so far no luck.

I have a pair of Bondi 6's and loved them. I wore them out at the back foam around the heels. I thought I would try a pair of Bondi 7's. Right off, I noticed the cushioning of the sole was much more firm than the 6's. I hoped this was just a break-in period, but so far after about three months and numerous walks, they are still much more firm than the 6's. The sizing between the 6 and 7 is totally different. Both are 10.5, but you can see a visible difference between the two. I think Hoka switched the manufacturers between the versions and they are not what they used to be. While the 7's are still comfortable, sadly, I'll likely have to find a new favorite.

The don't quite have the soft, comfortable feel that they used to.

The sole has come lose on heel. Guess I'll just super glue it back

I've tried to submit photo put it won't upload.

The Bondi 7 shoes were very comfortable. However they did not have the support I need in my shoe which made them uncomfortable when walking distances more than 1/2 mile. The sellers were great about letting me trade them in for a more supporting style. I traded them for Arabic 6, and they have been exactly what I needed.

The sole looks unusually high (for a men's version). Also, was disappointed that the accounting for a return due to sizing issues did not equate to what was charged.

I am a huge Hoka fan! I've been running in Hoka shoes since the first Clifton and have always been impressed. A few times I've run in the Bondi style and have had great experiences. However, this model I received in March is an outlier in several ways. 1. the Tongue of the shoe folds and drives me crazy! 2. the heal area also folds in and drives me crazy! 3. My left foot aches after a 10 mile run and I have Ironman Tulsa in a few days! It may not have been the Bondi at fault but definitely bad timing!

VERY soft and comfortable walking shoe. These are ideal for those that have sore feet and have to walk or be on feet all day. Not sturdy enough however, for running imho. Besides the high price, my only complaint is the insoles are lacking in any arch support and are very generic in that sense. I replaced mine with much better ones and it made a world of difference. Also, they are not at all resistant to any water, simply walking across wet grass will soak your feet.
