Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

No cushion ALL BOUNCE. It's like they used the wrong material from another model. I've purchased these for years and can't figure out why they went away from cushion to bounce.

I purchased these online... site unseen. I was looking for something cushiony that I could do some hill workouts in - that would help reduce over-pronation. The shoes feel fine, but I ran in them about 4 times. Each time I got blisters. It seems like the arch support is digging into and rubbing my arch towards the front of the foot. I'll have to return them. It's not the socks, and as soon as I switched back to my old shoes my feet healed.... bummer. I did like the cushioning. And maybe they just ran a tad wide for me.

Fitting not good as 6

I was told I would get my shoes on april 1st. I payed for expedited shipping and I have not gotten my shoes. At least last time they bothered giving me the shoes.

The Bondi 7 feels nothing like the previous Bondi models. The 7 feels no different than any other cheap running shoe! The Bondi 6 was super plush with total support/stability out of the box. The new 7 still feels hard and stiff after a few weeks of use. I'm sorry Hoka, you totally dropped the ball on this new model. Everything that was great about this shoe and made it unique is now gone. Please bring back the 6!

Unfortunately, these shoes didn't work well for me. I put a combination of about 7 miles a day on these shoes and about two weeks in my left knee started to hurt badly. When I changed back to a less plush shoe the pain abated slightly and when I put the Bondi back on, I felt it again quite unmistakably. I think this show represents the dangers of lack of road feel. My foot was put in an unnatural position. The rocker on the bottom is particularly unnatural, perhaps. Either way, I love you Hoka. You're a great company but this design is not great for my stride.

do not like the fit or feel of these shoes

Was supposed to be neutral but it is not. There is a bump where the end of the arch meets the heel. I could not wear it so I returned it. The rest of the shoe felt very comfortable and light and padded.

This shoe is not as soft as the one one 6. I use it to walk and noticed the difference immediately. Please bring back the 6

I have been wearing Bondi for a long time. I have a wide foot. Bondi has always been roomy, and I LOVE the bouncy spring when I go for long walks. BUT the new 7 is narrower than the 6 -- other foot patients agree. They hurt my feet, and I even tried a men's in hope they were wider, because there is no option for a women's extra-wide. The extra-wide men's do not go into the smaller sizes, and they were just too big. So I had to switch to Brooks, because they carry 3 women's styles in extra-wide. Please, HOKA, make Bondi and other styles in women's extra-wide. There are a lot of us out here who need them. And by the way, wide and extra-wide wearers would also like to have some color choices. Just because we have wide feet doesn't mean we don't want to have an attractive shoe.

I sent two separate emails and never heard a response. Very poor customer service.

Not worth the money

I have perched 8 pairs of Clifton 3, 3 pairs of Bondi 6. These Bondi 7 s hurt my arches really bad and it is not the arch support it is the outside black upper part of the sole that holds the sole to the shoe, It is so hard I can't believe it. None of the other Hakas I have ever perched were this hard. I would have returned them, but I have no paper work. Maybe I will now.

Slick Deals sent me a coupon for these folks...HOKA. I went through the HOKA site, purchased with my discount code, and HOKA accepted...until a day later when HOKA sent me an e-mail stating they couldn't honor the discount code. So, I wrote back in disappointment and ask for any discount, since I'm retired Military or just for simply wasting my time. Yeah, just got ignored. So, as an avid walker that goes through several pairs a year, no thanks.

Never anther Hoka.... The Order was just cancelled saying my coupon is not valid ! That is bad customer experience ! if a coupon is nt valid the purchase should not go through.

I started wearing my shoe on 3/12/2021. On 3/30/202, start the warranty return process because the right side sole is coming apart (see pictures). On the positive side, the shoe was really comfortable to wear. I hope my next pair will last longer.

I seriously don't know why anyone would buy this shoe. It has been awful and has made my plantar fasciitis worse

These were the worst made pieces of junk I have ever put on my feet. The only thing worse were the blue nylon sneakers sold in grocery stores in the 1980's known as bobo's. The customer service was terrible and overall left me never wanting to purchase Hoka again.

I bought this shoe because I was hoping for relief when doing my walks. I felt like I was on stilts (what's with the extreme shoe height?) and it was archtastic. It was tight and I don't have a wide foot and it hurt my arches. What I need is a shoe with cushion on my heel and it seems in my search that there's over compensation for every problem.

My Order # NA1330115 for Bondi 7 I had to return to pairs of Bondi 7, on both pairs shipped the inner sole was not glued down property to the shoe. I can not believe this happened with both pair. I added a hand written note to the returns stating this isssue. Where is the quality control at Hoka? how can I get 2 pairs of defective shoes and have to return them? I have previously purchased 2 pairs and was very happy

I'm a big fan of Hokas but the Bondis I ordered worked well for 5 months and then the cushion deteriorated in the front of the shoes and they are completely unusable. Not many miles were put on the shoes over those 5 months. I liked the fit and sizing but will probably end up buying from another brand because of the durability issues.

The shoe is GARBAGE

Ordered same sneaker, newer model (Bondi 7), pinched my feet, had me limping after 4 hours of wear. Worst experience with Hoka sneaker. Too bad, loved my Bondi 6 sneakers.

Heel breaking down
