Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

These Bondi 7's have nice thick soles and excellent breathability. However, at 9.5D they are a bit too wide for my feet, so don't offer as much support as I'd like.

Fit was good. Material is not that great. Fabric at heel was of low quality and wore out faster than expected. Not happy with this purchase.

I liked the shoe, but it didn't accommodate my orthotics. Not a deep enough shoe for my needs.

This shoe may be the ugliest shoe on the planet…also the most comfortable.

I wanted to love the Hoka shoes. I've heard great things about these shoes from runners everywhere. Unfortunately, the arch doesn't feel right. The width was probably close to other 4E width shoes but the arch section cuts small on hoka shoes. This causes a problem when my arch lands. I'm sure they are great shoes, but not for me.

I normally wear Brooks Adrenalines but wanted to give a different shoe a try for my next training cycle. Although I purchased a EE in the Bondis, they still cramped my toe box and I came home with blisters between my toes, after my first run. The ride is very cushy though and I do plan on keeping them just to see if I can ride it out. As a note, I also purchased a pair of Adrenalines and am loving those sneakers. I have run a total of about 25 miles in the Adrenalines with no issues so far.

I tried them out for a few days on walks and the shoes aggravated my Plantar fasciitis.

Seems tight across toes on right foot. Can I try them on a walk outside?Maybe a half size small?

Bondi 7 model offers excellent cushioning. It is like walking on marshmallows. The walk is nicer for the spine than in all my older running shoes. The main challenge is to find a pair with the evenly formed sole. Based on my experience, the formation of the foam sole could be uneven and the shoe could lean to the right, left, or corner. I tried three pairs before I get a pair that is even on both feet. In my first pair, the right shoe was leaning to the inner back corner, in my second, left shoe was leaning on the outer side. If you just look at the shoes, nothing looks wrong, the soles look good. I assume that the foam was a bit less dense in the direction where they were leaning and it made the walk quite a challenge. And you only can find the problem by walking for quite a bit. But once you found a pair that is even, the shoes are nice. So, a good idea is to purchase on Zappos where you could easily exchange if your first attempt will not work.
