Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

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.

These do not fit right they are not wide even when you order wide

I use my Bondi's for work and play. I have loved the Bondi fives and Sixes. The new Bondi Sevens are a complete disappointment. Where- o - where did my cushion go? BRING BACK THE CUSHION FOOLS. If I didn't want cushion, I would of bought another brand. The Bondi sevens would make a great fire starter though. I should be refunded for this complete failure.

This shoe felt comfortable but the metatarsal region of my foot under the last three toes always felt a little painful like I was going to get blisters. Eventually I developed a neuroma in my left foot and now can't run anymore. I switched back to my old Hokas but it was too late.

In these Shoes for hours and they are so Very Comfortable!!! #WOW

I started buying the Hoka Bondi when it was version 6. You would literally bounce while wearing the shoe boost comfortable shoe I have ever purchased. I would tell everyone to buy them, especially if had foot problems or were on their feet for extended periods of time. I stand for 10 hours a day and Bondi 6 was my go to. A few months ago it was time for a new pair walked in asked for Hoka Bondi they said it was the new version 7. I figured if I loved version 6 I would be in ecstasy in version 7. I was wrong. The bounce feeling I got from Version 6 was gone. My feet quickly become tired and fatigued in the 7, I could go all day in the 6. Version 7 is stiff no give. A completely different shoe. Hoka please undo what ever changes you made and go back to the Bondi 6. I would not recommend the Bondi 7 to anyone. Very disappointed. Bondi 6 5 stars all day, Bondi 7 throw in the trash 0 stars if I could.

I've only wore the shoe for a little over a month and both heels in the shoes have worn through other than that I loved the shoe. However, unfortunately I can't wear the shoes to walk in now because of the holes worn in the heels.

Not a very good shoe

I purchased the Bondi 7. While the shoe had lots of cushion, it hurt my right arch. I tried and tried to make it work, but ended up returning them because of the arch issue.

I have worn my new Hokas , maybe, five times. They caused a blister to form on the outside of my left foot which was very painful. I have gone back to wearing my old Skechers. If I had a way to return the Hokas I would!

It feels like o am walking on a block and I don't feel the grip of the road. Not able to run in these. Also is very bulky to look at.

The shoes were uncomfortable. I stepped off my sidewalk and almost broke my foot. When I stepped off the sidewalk, the shoe made my foot twist. The shoe kinda of rocked sideways. I sent them back.

Made of cheap materials, I tried to order another pair because the first were tight, but after I made my initial review. I received a email stating the new size wasn't available. Seems like they didn't like my review. Oh well I will take my business elsewhere

I have been wearing and running with Hoka for atleastv5 year... last pair of Clifton 8 and Bondi 7 both had quality issues and a bad fit

on uneven ground ,they feel like i'm wearing marshmellow's for shoes. not for 84 year old. give me back my brook's beast back.
