Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

I wanted the higher end shoe but you do not make it in 14. So I went for this model and not happy with the feel.

the heel padding on the left shoe is missing or slipped down

Long time Hoka fan, but after 2 recent quality issues I am hanging them up for good. It's a shame when brands lose sight of quality once they gain popularity.

I stand a lot at work This shoes did not give me the extra cushion that I needed !!!!!!!!

If your looking for extra extra wide shoes in upwards of 6E this shoe is not that although it says it , absolutely isn't that wide at all . Sent mine back .

I am on my feet all day as a teacher and coach, these wore out in two weeks.

Bought the extra wide in my size and it feels very narrow. I returned them.

Tried them out but had an odd rub on instep of both shoes along a seam. Just weren't comfortable past 10 minutes. I did like the rocker motion & cushioning was CRAZY soft. Maybe a bit too much Would've been solved in store, but that's the gamble with online shopping.

It's been a year since I bought these from ShowMall and I totally regret my purchase. I'm a big guy and once I get the shoes on and the tongue pulled back out - they are fine but getting them on is such a chore it's no longer worth it. The problem is in the tongue. The tongue slips down into the shoe every time I put them on- so I spend 1-2 minutes attempting to pull the tongue back up into place. This is a huge problem that I have never had with other shoes. Bad design. Sorry, but putting shoes on should not be that difficult.

I was hoping the shoe would provide the same comfort that the Bondi 6 did. I work 8 hours a day walking on concrete. The Bondi 6 gave just the right amount of cushion. The Bondi 7 has almost no give in cushion compared to the 6. In fact, it feels hard with each step. The toe box is slimmer now too. The wide was not a true wide. I had to order a 4E to be able to wear them and the toe box still rubbed on the side of my toes. It gave me calluses. I hope they bring back the same support and cushion that the Bondi 6 had when they create the Bondi 8. I returned my Bondi 7 and purchased the Clifton 8 and it provided some comfort but not as well as the Bondi 6. Hoka reps take notes and relay this info to your quality control department to keep your customers coming back.

Really don't know if 10 extra wide is still ordered or if I have to re order

This shoe has great support and cushion but it is far too heavy for any distance running. It really weighs on the legs and causes fatigue far faster than other running shoes. I cannot recommend it.

all my friends reccommended the shoe to me. I am giving a solid try but I don't feel they work for me.

I have been a big fan of Bondi 6 over the past couple years, 3 pairs to be exact. I recently purchased a pair of Bondi 7's and I new from the moment they were on my feet that the shoe did not feel right. The comfort and plush support (like walking on air) in the new shoe are completely gone. I hardly wear them, I go back and wear my latest pair of Bondi 6's, the comfort in these worn shoes far exceed the new Bondi 7's. I came to Bondi from New Balance were I was wearing 990's, a very similar shoe to the Bondi 6, but they too changed the design and nothing came close to the 990's in the New Balance lineup. I still have them in my possession, but the change brought me to HOKA, told my friends about the comfort level in the Bondi 6, I loved this shoe. So sorry that you folks always have to change a good thing and until you market a shoe that has the sheer comfort level of the Bondi 6, I'll be looking at new vendors.

Too much of a good thing? Have had HOKAs for years, normally the clifton. First time trying this shoe and within a week I had several blisters on my feet. I suspect it is related to the extra bounce with these super cushioned shoes. Picked up another pair of cliftons and problems were solved.

Poor fit. Not as well made as New Balance.
