I got these shoes because I'm a nurse in an emergency department, and they are really comfy but the bottom of the shoes are already beginning to fall apart. (Only had them a couple months)

The shoes were too tight to wear perhaps they were too small, my toes were touching the limit of the front and sides thatr of the shoe. Very unconfortable; I was very dissapointed in the Hoka . For the last few years, I have experiencied a lot of pain in the ball area of my feet and have tried several brands of shoes and insoles with no to little relief to date. I looking for a shoe where my toes can be spread out inside a soft strescheable fabric alomg the top and sides of my feet and a much softer bottom for the ball of my feer to rest upon. At my age I no longer run, but I still like to slow hike and walk. I was told that ASICS, HOKA, New Balance, Saucony shoes and the like were good possibilities, but it very hard to select with a limited description. Perhaps you folks might submit a few suggestions for me to consider. Sorry to have bored you with my problem feet.

I love these shoes, as i like how breathable it is, and wide enough for my feet. Only issue is that it lasts 3 months. I'm a delivery driver and i go up and down the stairs with an avg of 10 miles a day. Wish they can make them last longer.

I think theses shoes have real promise, but they were actually painful for me. Particularly on the upper outside of my foot, and near my pinky toe. Both pinky toes blistered after wearing them all day for a week, so I honestly just don't wear them. Pretty disappointing considering the price.
It could be that I need a half size larger, (which would be a size I've never worn before), or a wide fit, (which is also something I've never worn before), but considering the price, I'm not willing to take a chance and buy another pair.

i loved this shoe at first... i loved it's soft springy feel, but after about the first 15 miles or so, the insole started to hurt my feet. it's almost like i can feel a hard edge around the edge of the insole...

These shoes, unlike previous ones, are not as comfortable, and yielded me blisters from both sneakers.

My Hoka shoes feel great. Very stable and comfortable, but the heel fabric wears out within 3 or 4 weeks and I am left with a gaping hole in the back of the heel on the shoe. I switched to Hoka from brooks because the soles on the brooks shoes always wore unevenly over time because of my issues with supination. Hoka does not do this, however, the material on the brooks heel never wore out.

Definitely has plenty of cushion but hurts my feet tremendously.

The shoes were initially very comfortable, but started squeaking loudly in one of the shoes. It sounds like an air pouch or some other component in the shoe. Had to get a different pair. Not thrilled.

I really don't like them. The outside toes rub and one of the shoes feels like it has a stiffer part on the side of the arch. My coworker who lives Hoka said the same thing about the bondi. One shoe is better than the otherlooking at my feet closely I can't see any difference

Like wearing an oversized down pillow covered in marshmallows. Very comfortable. However, many more downsides than upsides to this shoe, particularly for its price. First of all, the product will break down relatively quickly. Mine were retired after 100 miles of running. Second, they run insanely large and wide. Third, you're more likely to injure yourselves in these if your use is running. For walking around at work, fine, but they're super expensive.

Fit is good, and the shoe is well padded, but it puts me in a position that is slightly forward pitched, which is fine for short duration walking, but not good for my morning 5-miler. I'll be going back to my New Balance shoes.

I walk approximately 3 miles a day. I purchased a pair of Bondi 7s about 3 years ago and love them. Reordered the same shoe and same size and have been having foot issues. Not sure if there have been changes to the Bondi 7 design recently but they don't feel like the previous pair.

Overall I like the fit, style and look of the shoe but these have become the noisiest, squeakiest shoes I've ever owned since I removed the original inserts and added my orthotics. To be clear, it now sounds like I'm always walking in very wet shoes that splish and splosh with each step. It's constant. It never goes away. I've been wearing orthotics for years and have never experienced this phenomenon. I really want to love these shoes but sadly I just tolerate them.

I have been having knee problems off and on for the past few years. I usually run in Altra Torins. After doing much research, the Bondi 7 was highly recommended. While putting my first 20 - 30 miles in, I noticed a few runners with the same shoes (and color!) Unfortunately, I acquired large blisters on both feet and my foot strike was off (possibly due to me used to the neutral, low-ride of the Torin?). Nevertheless, the shoe is obviously great for most runners with knee issues, but not for me. I went back to the Torin, no blisters, and a comfortable forefoot strike.

I'm on my 7th pair on Bondi's. The first three were incredible. I could run again and walking 10 miles a day on my job as a mail carrier helped my back tremendously. But the last 2 pair I've purchased do not have the same feel. Not sure if I just got a couple of bad pairs or if Homs is cutting corners.
So I'm going to have to try to find another brand I'm sad to say.

I have problems with my feet, so I basically use them for walking. I've purchased the Bond 7 to time prior to this order and they felt great as usual, and they lasted a long time. My last purchase was horrible. They rubber on the bottom started to become unglued. I know it's a good shoe, so I was going to reorder, but they were out of my size. In any event I will definitely place a future order.

The Bondi 5 were great, so much so that I bought a second pair. I liked the extreme cushioning in the heal, the rocker sole, and the wide sizing that made injured foot comfortable. The first two pair allowed me to use custom orthotics. The Bondi 7 just don't have the fit and comfort. I returned a pair and went up a half size but they just don't provide comfort.

I have never blistered so much from a new pair of shoes. The back of the insole edge has such an apparent rippled edge that with my foot all the way back to make sure it felt secure, the ripples caused blisters on all sides of my heel. I gave the shoes several weeks to try and break in, but the blisters kept coming and were clearly in the pattern of the ripple in the edges of the insole in the back. If your foot is just slightly more narrow than standard and your heel sits at the very back of the shoe and you walk fast, I would avoid these shoes. I give 2 stars because HOKA does have a 30 day guarantee and I was able to still return them. I've tried other brands with rippled edges in the insole back that were much less protruding and have had no blister issues.

Went for a one mile walk and got blisters on the inside of both heels. Got a stability shoe for support as I've done with all past running shoes. Never had an issue ever with my New Balance, Brooks, Mizuno, etc over the years.

I have difficulty finding shoes with toe boxes wide enough to accommodate my needs. While Hokas are supremely cushioned and well built, I've yet to find one wide enough for me.

After nearly 7 months they are falling apart. Initially very comfortable but the lining has tears at the heal and rubber inserts in the sole have separated. The sole is worn also. If it had lasted a year It would have meet my expectations.
