Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

I want to start by saying these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever purchased. I have 2 pairs and love them. This pair must have had an issue because 2 weeks after wearing them the bottom sole cracked and created a gap that made them uncomfortable to walk in. I have two other pairs and have had no issues with them. I am sure it was just a design defect/flaw but still annoying when they cost so much.

I run 15 miles a week. I adored the Bondi 6, it was simply the best shoe I have ever owned in 30 years of buying running sneakers. I ordered the Bondi 7 and was very disappointed. Not as plush, sits lower, feels firmer, less bounce, drained my legs of energy. Also it's cut narrow for my foot giving me numbness. I tried the wide and it's too wide. Seems a bit average and feels overpriced. Returned both pairs. Hoka, please return Bondi to it's former plush glory.

I think the shoes feel great when I put them on in the morning, but by the end of the day they cause me pain in the toe regions. I am a teacher and I am on my feet all day, so I need a shoe that feels comfortable for 12+ hours. I have tried to switch back and forth with my older pair of Brooks Launch 8 to try and get used to the Hokas, but I am still feeling pain at the end of the day. I may have to keep using the Brooks brand and they are less money. I would be open to trying other Hoka models as I also hike the mountains around Flagstaff quite often.

I have a foor that requires a ^W. These are maybe a 4w. Just not wide enough for me.

My first pair of Bondi 7 the sole treads were falling off after several months. My new 2nd pair has a hole where my upper heel meets the liner fabric

I really liked the extra support but I didn't feel like my foot was balanced. I feel much more stable with the Rincon and also the Torrent 2 which are perfect for me. I just thought I would try something different. It could just be the way my foot is shaped. Kudos to Hoka for their return policy. I returned them and bought another pair of Torrent 2's

Not impressed for what I paid had to put my own insole in them to keep my plantar fasciitis at bay an extra $40

I love these shoes, but the ball of foot has worn extremely fast on this pair....never had this happen before.

Purchased Bondi 6 and both shoes ripped along outside of midsole and upper shoe after only ~200 miles. Currently have ~100 miles on Bondi 7 so waiting to see how they hold up.

I bought the Boni 7 shoes and they feel good but after six months the shoes starting to squeak when I walk. It is very annoying. You can go anywhere without making noise when walking. The house have a internal problem between the layers of material. I would not buy these again.

I've had many foot doctors recommend HOKA's, and I finally went ahead and purchased a pair in mid December. I walk on the treadmill everyday, and after 3 months, the padding in the heels of both shoes is completely torn up, and the plastic is now fully showing. I would expect something like this after a year or two, but not three months after purchase, which remind you, they are not cheap! Absolutely LOVE the shoe, but the quality was incredibly disappointing.

My previous 6 pair of bondis were perfect. This pair does not have a good heel. It is almost like they are defective. I did not wear them enough to return them within the 30 days. We were focusing on the Outlaw 100 and then my wife got sick for a few weeks. Any way probably just a lemon pair,

I own three pair. They are very comfortableI only wear them at work in retail and spend the day on a concrete floor. The treads on the heel of all three shoes become unglued and fold up after a few months. I must tear them off to keep from tripping.

I've only worn the shoes once and was disappointed that the shoes weren't plush like it said they would be.

I bought my first pair of Bondi 7 over a year ago and they have been phenomenal. I wore those shoes almost every day and could walk for miles always feeling comfortable and supported, literally the "flying experience". I was very excited to order a new pair as to repeat such a positive performance and I did not even bother to look elsewhere. Well as soon as I put the new ones on I knew something was not quite right. The confirmation arrived just after a short walk. Aching on my legs and calf muscles and my feet were just very unhappy. I did compare/walk with my old pair just to make sure it was not me - the old pair is quite worn out by now but still holding ok - and indeed no issues. Something is just not the same. The legendary bouncing, support and cushioning seem gone. The balance also appears to be shifted somehow from the sole back to the heel. Not sure what what it is and what is changed but my legs and feet know what works and what not and these do not. I just want to take off the shoes as soon as I can VS before, when I just wanted to get out and never stop going. Sorry to be so disappointed. I was really a huge fan, I will need to look somewhere else next time. I won't buy the Bondi 7 again.

I use the shoes for fitness walking, and light treadmill runs. My feet usually begin hurting after about a mile. They seem to fit ok. They are very spongy.

They hurt my feet so bad. Will not buy again, but because they cost so much, I have to wear them Thanks

While the length and width of the flip flop is sized correctly and the cushion is great, unlike other flip flops the part that fits over the top of foot is way too loose. It's as though the shoe was designed for people with super fat feet
