I walk two miles daily for health reasons and they are very comfortable, the problem is the uppers are of poor quality, after 5 or 6 months my big toe pokes through. My wife had the same experience, very comfortable but uppers wore through. I bought another pair for the comfort even thought they wear out to fast for that kind of money, I walk with my toes sticking out. haha!

Third pair of Bondis. These are great except for the memory foam in the upper heal. Wore them for a month then noticed the left shoe had the memory foam, the right shoe did not and just had regular foam. Someone is cheating Hoka out of the memory foam at the manufacturing level. Customer service was great and is sending me a new pair.

I bought the Bondi 7 size 13--usually wear size 14, but not in Hoka Bondi 7--seems to be too marrow just below the little toe and it painfully compresses my foot there. However, this may be due to an insert I use to replace Hoka insert. I know, "What an idiot, what does he expect!", but I did this at the recommendation of a Podiatrist who also recommended the Hoka Shoe. So, go figure. I guess I'll have to live with it. No I haven't run an extensive controlled experiment using the Hoka insert. But I will.

I walk 50 miles/week, and the Bondi 6 shoe has fabulous cushioning. I have purchased 6 pair of Bondi 6, and the Bondi 7 does not feel like a plush cushion.

My brother told me about your shoes and I am sure glad he did. I absolutely love them. Will be ordering another pair soon. GREAT PRODUCT.

I am 5"11, 175lbs. My feet are wide. My first pair of Hoka shoes were wide. I didn't know extra wide was an option at that time. The insoles were too narrow for me. I could feel the end of the insole on the outside of my foot. I did appreciate the cushion in my first pair, so when I noticed that they made an extra wide I made the purchase. When they arrived I pulled out the insoles from the wide and extra wide and the widths are identical. See photo. The. Lue insole is the wide and it is a bit rounded, so it doesn't lay exactly flat. I feel as though I was scammed.

These were great with fit and amount of padding, they really worked great! I could not ask for a better balanced and padded for my 40 miles a week walking. Though I am very disappointed that the right shoe’s heel section padding became disconnected only on the right shoe and caused a bit of pain. I only use these shoes for my walking and I only had them for 30 days and had walked only 200 miles but now they are unusable due to the problem with the heel padding. As a benchmark, my previous Brooks Ghost 12’s lasted for over 380 miles. For a $150 shoe, you would expect more miles out of these without the heel padding breaking loose. I did buy another pair as these were just too good to give up on other than the padding giving out. Hope I get it was one of those one off manufacturing issues and that the next set will not have any issues. If not for the issue with the heel I would give this a five out of five in all departments.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks Ghost 12

The wider shoe fits better, but they don't feel as cushioned as the #6 I bought and wore before. I might have to get used to them.

Don't like the feel or the color choices. I have the Bondi 7, but continue to wear my Bondi 6 even though they are wearing out. The Bondi 7 is not up to the standard set by previous models of this shoe.

When I put the shoes on that fit/felt perfect. Then I started my indoor walk. In less than a 1/4 of a mile, the outer edge of my right foot became sore. I continued walking, hoping discomfort would subside. No such luck. I also found an older pair of Bondis that I forgot I had. I tried them out as well with the same result.
I love the styling and fit of Hoke One One and really wanted this shoe to work.

Unfortunately my width is more than your shoe. I really want them to work as they are very light. Awaiting my refund.

Great cushioning, but, despite ordering extra wide, the left shoe painfully squeezes my bunion. That has not been a problem with New Balance.

Previous versions were more plush; like walking on a cloud. 5 was the best. 6 was okay but 7 doesn't cushion much at all. Too bad. If you take insoles from an old pair and add them, they will feel more like the 5.

I feel a poking in my arches that wasn't there in the 6. I also think there's been a change made to the cushioning. I used the 6s for work shows and they were perfect. I worn the heck out of them and they lasted a while. I don't see myself doing that with the 7s.

Not sure what's happening but the 7 is definitely not as plush feeling as the 5.

I ordered a size 11.5 wide in the turbulence chili color. The toe box was too tight, so I returned the shoes and requested the same color but in a 12 wide. Instead of an exchange, I was given a full credit. It took several weeks , and I've just given up! Therefore, I'm going to try to find the 12 w locally. I just don't like going out to a retail store with this pandemic going on.

I want to try HOKA shoes for a long time but my wide feet cant fit in any of these. Now Bodi7 is available in4E. The shoes is comfortable and true to size but i think the toe box and insole/footbed is not wide enough for 4E shoes.

I put in 3 miles a day walking at a brisk pace and while the cushion of the Bondi feel great the tread wear has gotten worse as the shoe has evolved. I am lucky to get 90 days use before the soles are completely flat spotted. Need to get more wear than that for the price.

The Bondi line has fit me perfectly since I started with the Bondi 2... same size in every new model with the same comfortable fit. I haven't liked the changes to the cushioning in some years and the tongue in other years but the fit was always the same. This model is different. The ankle cutout seems to have a higher cut to it and maybe that's because it has more generous memory foam ankle collar. Now it rubs uncomfortably on the bottom of my ankle bone and I may have to add a heel lift to prevent that ... which negates what I like about the shoe having almost no heel to toe drop. The also feels narrow in the toe box, or at least it isn't flexible to stretch to fit my foot. I'm not sure if I'd recommend the shoe, I still like it but the fit isn't amazingly comfortable as I usually expect.

Bondi 6 was pretty much perfect to me. The new Bondi seven (wide) has a tighter toe box. The heel cup feels slightly wider. I think the overall mid foot volume is less, than the Bondi 6. I also don't like the plastic overlays on the 7. The bond 6 had a cleaner look. I think the midsole cushioning is the same as the Bondi 6. I am hoping Hoka is not going the way of other running shoe companies with more plastic on the upper, and more flexible less cushioned midsole. It wouldn't be a Hoka anymore. I have extreme fat pad atrophy, and these are the shoes that keep me moving. I use orthotics for extra cushioning. My mom has arthritis, and the Bondi helps her too.
