I've previously purchased the Bondi style for the past 4 yrs. they were great, goodbye rough calluses. then the Bondi 7 came out. I was excited, I bought wides(in men's ) for the extra toe room. alas, wide the were not. Used them for work and my feet were killing me. they felt squeezed and painful. at the end of the day I started getting a callus. the previous Bondi left me no issues whatsoever. I literally put them on new and worked a full day in comfort. now I have to find a different brand. no more hokas for me

They seem to be good for walking. But, they are not good for exercise since it is often hard to balance on them because of the feeling of rocker at the arch. I hope they wear better than my previous Hokas that had parts of the sole break off.

I wear my Bendi 7 sneakers to work at the local hospital. The memory foam insoles are exceptionally comfortable; however, the shoes began to show signs of wear after only a couple of weeks. The shoe glue that secures the bottom sole to the upper nylon of the shoe, began to seep through the cracks of the shoes' sides. The painting of the color on the side of the soles seemed to be down hastily and without any precision. I would recommend these sneakers for their superlative comfort, but their durability stinks.

The Bondi 7 shoes are very comfortable.
They tend to having your weight distribution toward the back 1/3 of your feet. I really like that.

Almost no arch support, which was surprising given that it is billed as a walking/running shoe. Just a big cushy sole strapped to the bottom of your feet.

I wear a 9.wide usually. Ordered a9.5 because there's only medium width. Half size bigger didn't work still too tight. If you Need a wide size, you have to get wide size. Returned the same day.

There is No Doubt that the Bondi 7 is the most cushioned of all sneakers. For me they have an issue however that's upsetting and driving me crazy! I have one pair in the blue haze/black iris color that are amazing! I bought my husband a pair and he LOVES them. I'm trying to get a pair that I can wear to work however, the inside of the shoe at mid-foot area by the arch comes up very uncomfortably and it's hard in that area on every other pair I'm getting. In my photo you can see the area I'm talking about. I've bought and returned 2 other pairs of Bondi 7 because of this painful area in these sneakers.

Super excited about it then wore my shoes and the inner side started to rub my feet raw. I have to wear two pairs of socks with them. Good thing is they light as air.

It's just a personal preference, but this shoe does not have enough support for me, and there is a big difference in how it fits my feet

The fit felt just right. The support and cushion feel great. I wear them for brisk walking on a treadmill. The first day I felt some tenderness on the inner edge of both heels but no blisters. The next day I wore thicker socks and walked the same distance as before and when I finished I found large blisters on the inner aspect of both heels. There were no obvious defects on the areas of the shoes that were in contact with my heels in the affected areas so it is hard to say what caused the problem. Hopefully a few more times on the treadmill will either resolve the issue with the shoes or with my heels. For the money that I spent I’m willing to give the shoes more time and the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it is just my feet?

I have a messed up big toe on one of my feet. It hurts to walk when the toe bends up. These shoes totally take away that pain.
My only criticism is if you are like me and too lazy to untie and tie your shoes (meaning you just jam your foot in) the back part of these shoes will be destroyed in no time. Hence why I bought a pair of the slip ons.

These shoes look cool and feel very cushy when you put them on. Toe box is roomy with a regular D width. The arch support feels minimal- it almost feels like my foot is flat under. Maybe that is due to extensive cushioning and flattening of the sole. In fact the shoes are so soft that when I walked in them, they felt unstable. My feet and legs could not find stability and as a result I felt fatigued. My legs were shaking constantly trying to counter the multidirectional compression of the sole during each step. Paradoxically, despite being very soft, they felt like one of the most uncomfortable shoes I’ve ever worn.

I really wanted to keep these. The inside is well-padded; they look nice. The problem is that they were not wide enough. My shoe size is 10 W (EEE). I ordered these in size 10, width 4E. The size felt like 10.5, but they were just not wide enough. One other thing to know: the bottom of the shoe is not flat; the front part curves upward. Many people (myself included) will find it difficult to adjust to this design "feature".

Had to return. They were too wide. But we ordered 2 pairs of the wide. A perfect fit!

Disappointed with the innersole. Most of the shoes I have been buying, like SAS have special inner soles that provide comfort when wearing their product. Your shoes use the old fashion, plain innersole and as a result the comfort factor in your shoes are missing. I have returned the Bondi pair I purchased for a full refund. Your outsole was fine but did not compensate for the plain inner sole. I am disappointed that you have not improved the comfort factor by using a better innersole

Been with Hoka since the Bondi B, Stinson 1 and Clifton 1. Went to the store intending to purchase the Bondi 7. But just because, I tried the 6 on the other foot. The firm midsole of the 7 became immediately noticeable. Why Hoka? You pad the heel collar but make the midsole firm. The whole irrefutable point of the Bondi is the cushioning - this is what makes a Bondi a Bondi, together with the stack height, wrap and arch support. Of course, I got the 6 ( at a huge discount even).

Overall I was surprised by how narrow these felt for a EE shoe. I still like the brand but will have to choose another model with either more room or wider to give my foot room to grow while distance running!

I ordered my size of 9.5, but it was too big so ordered a nine and order a mens size. They are comfortable, but standing made my heel ache. It was like the sides lifted or pushed on the sides of my heel. I have a wide forefoot and narrow heel, so I am not sure why they didn't work out.
