Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

I tried the Hoka Bondi 7, and after a week I could barely walk. They are super cushiony, but my feet hurt so bad by the end of each day, I was miserable. Ended up returning them. Still looking for the right shoes for comfort.

The white color to this shoe is very dull. Not in keeping with the Hoka Hoka vibe.

I was excited to try Hoka shoes for the first time after hearing great things. Sadly, the hype did not live up to the reality. I wore the shoes on three runs. Between miles 3-5 on each run my toes began to ache to the point where I had to stop. There just didn't seem to be much cushion in the toe box. Returned shoes.

Was excited to get these. I walk about 5 miles every morning and it was taking a toll on my feet. After researching online, was excited to get these shoes hoping to baby my feet. Cushion sole is substantial, but the toe box pinches my toes together and has caused blisters in new spots. Disappointed!

IM'd with an expert to find a shoe that fit my need. Seemed like a good conversation, shoe arrived, felt good in the house. The first time I wore them out, not a good fit for comfort.

This product does not provide me with the cushion I need as I go through recovery from surgery, like the Stinson.

shoe felt to unstable, returned for refund

I love the product with the exception of them being a size larger then I normally wear. I ordered the same size I normally order from other businesses. Other then that I love the product and am telling everyone how it feels walking on a cloud of air and the support if fantastic.

Loved the Bondi 6 Wide, but Loath the Bondi 7 wide. Very tight across the widest part of the foot. Breaking them in hasn't helped.

Should have went to physically tried them on, have probably worn the shoes 3 times.

They seem like comfortable shoes, that I'd like to have worn but I have very wide feet (so I can't often try on shoes in stores), and I rely on the sizing charts. The pair I ordered (and I confirmed were the correct shoes) were not even close to the given specs. It gave the foot width as a little over 4-1/2 inches, but the widest part of the insole was barely even 4 inches. Since my foot is actually more like 5" wide, I thought I could compromise a little, but they're so far off it's impossible, I could barely get them on.

Picked these up at a local running store and was initially very pleased with them. But the more I used them the more I realized the right shoe inside cushion is not sitting correctly and thus has been slightly digging into the right side of my foot. After about 6 weeks it has become very noticeable and irritating to work in. Trying to determine if worth it to ship back as that will be over a third the cost of the shoe.

Brought the Bondi 6 last June. Since then I bought 3 more Hoka shoes to alternate running with. I took this shoe this week on vacation after not running with them for afew months and noticed that the upper mesh have separated from the sole completely. Hoka responses was very disappointing it is over the 2 year warranty. Even then it is less then a month. I will consider not buying any more Hoka shoes. I think it is a poor customer service. For me it is not a Financial issue.

I really do love the shoes but this is my 3rd pair and they all wore a hole in the material in the heel. Same foot and location and I had the 4, 5 and now 7 and it happened with all of them. I have other brands and i rotate shoes and the other brands dont have an issue. The hole develops probably under 50 miles on the shoes. It might take 6 months or more to get to this point since I rotate with other shoes.

The Bondi has been bread and butter for my shoe rotation for years. Works well for recovery days and long run days. Pure gold for my base mileage, low HR runs. Now the Bondi 7 comes out with a narrow and low toe box. Weird. Why? I stocked up on the Bondi 6, waiting for the Bondi 8 to correct the situation. I don't think buying a wide Bondi is the answer. This would only effect other shoe characteristics, adding to the clunkiness.

The shoe fits nice but the soles were to soft and the heals felt like they were moving around because of the cushion

My toe pulls up with I walk and the Bondi 5 had strong toe box that was strong enough for me not to wear a hole in the big toe area. Now you have changed the material and it is not as strong and only took 3 months to wear a hole in the last pair of shoes I bought. I went into a store the last time and the employee assured me it would be strong enough, but not so. I love you shoes, so trying the only other plush you have.
