This is the second time I've purchased these shoes because they were too big. They are a full size larger than what I usually wear. Maybe even size and a half larger. They feel like clown shoes because of this! It's a shame because they're comfy and cool otherwise. They should be advertised as such. Debating returning again because I do like how they look.

They started out okay, but after a few days it was clear that they were too narrow for my feet. I have a bunion, and the toe box isn't wide enough to keep them from rubbing. Style-wise, however, they look great. I am old school and like plain white sneakers for everyday wear, and they go well with anything in my wardrobe. I don't know what I'm going to do with them now, because I've worn them outside a few times.

I wear a 9 4E in New Balance 990s but tried both a 9 and 9.5 in these and they were not wide enough. The seam of the upper was too snug over top of my foot. Uncomfortable and near painful with actual running. I would be hesitant to go up another size because the 9.5’s were already getting a bit long for my foot. Just a heads up for any extra wide sons of guns, these ain’t as wide and roomy as NB. I returned the Hokas unfortunately. The plush of the sole felt great though. If you have my specific needs, wouldn’t recommend. For a more average foot they seemed great.

This is a great looking shoe but I have uniquely shaped feet and it just didn't fit me well. Not the fault of the shoe. Returned it and Zappos took care of it.

New Balance shoes seem to fit me better than any others.

I had to get the Black Bondi 7 in order to get 4E width. I prefer the cute colors, but they don't make them in 4E. I normally wear a 10.5 D, and these 4Es were too narrow. There's a piece on the outer edge that cuts into my foot at the widest part. Anyway, I don't think these are 4Es, more like C.

These are just okay. Not great but not bad. A bit overpriced but they are fine. Would probably not buy again.

I ordered the EE-Width and while it fit lengthwise, it was way too tight width wise. I didn't bother with the next width size up as these were really tight and didn't fell going up to the next width size was worth the hassle of having to return them.

I have been wearing shoes without socks for decades and these, along with the Ora Recovery's, are the absolutely worst for smelling bad after wearing them. A short trip around the supermarket, and you don't want to be around them when I take them off!!

These shoes were everything that I've been looking for other than the extremely sharp arch area! I had to go out and purchase 50$ custom orthotics to fix the shoe it became more work to fix than I was financially comfortable with.

Mostly the shoe is comfortable. I wish I had ordered it in a wide. Unfortunately, I have worn them for a couple of weeks. They hurt my feet because they are too narrow.

OK shoes, but width was narrower than I expected. They still do not fit correctly.

The cushioning is great for my joints.
My 3 star is for fit. The shoe is to narrow for 2e. I typically order new balance 2e but wanted to try this shoe. I’ll order again if I can get a wider shoe.

I have had a pair of the Bondi 7 and loved them. I bought a new pair and they hurt the insole of my right foot. The first pair didn't do that so I'm wondering why the second pair does.

This is a good quality shoe. Unfortunately I had to return it because it was not wide enough in the toe area. I do not usually wear a size wide so found this unusual.

My first time to purchase Hoka. My go to shoe has been Brooks Adeline series. I bought the Hoka Bondi 7 because of the "most cushioned shoe on the market" claim. The fit is true, break in time was very minimal, the problem is with the the cushion. It does have a thick cushion but for me it is not comfortable when walking/jogging for exercise. The thickness creates instability when jogging. The pitch from the heel to toe throws me forward and aggravates my lower back muscles when walking/jogging long distance, 5-10 miles. I have worn them several times and always end up with lower back muscle pain. I had hoped it would improve. I am going back to Brooks Adeline for my exercise shoe. I will keep the Bondi 7 for casual wear.
