Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

Felt heavy and stiff compared to Clifton. I've worn out three Cliftons consecutively. I was not happy with new color options, so I moved up to the Bondi-7. I've never returned a pair of running shoes in my 45 years as a runner, but I returned the Bondi-7. I returned them over a week ago for exchange and I have not received any acknowledgement that return.

Have a pair of Bondi 6 12 EE. The most comfortable shoe ever. Had to wait for Bondi 7 for shoes in that size and the 12 EE, was slightly smaller in lenght and tighter in width. Very disappointed

I have been running in the Bondi exclusively since the Bondi 4. I buy a new pair every 2 months. The Bondi 7 fits different. I normally wear the wide. The outside edge pushes up on the outside of the foot making it extremely uncomfortable and causes pain after a couple of miles in to my run. I went and got a pair of the extra wide but the toe box is way to big and causes my foot to slide around causing blisters. Looks like I will unfortunately be switching to a different brand.

I have been using these shoes for 2 weeks and my feet still ache

Poorly made... not impressed I returned it and haven't gotten my money back yet Poor customer care Will not recommend this to anyone

Love the Bondi 6 and have recommended it to several people that have the same joint issues I do. But got the Bondi 7 this week and made it 2.5 miles into a 5 mile run and just had to quit. I had cramps in my right foot and leg. I had to limp home and things only got worse after that. I'm three days post run and still recovering. I have no idea how they messed these shoes up so bad. Return has been processed.

I have been struggling with running shoes for a while. I have always used ASICS Because it's the only brand I feeL comfortable with. I have seen how Hoka has developed and grown. I though it was the time to try a different Brand. As far as I know got the most popular type Bondi 7. Unfortunately couldn't run even 4 miles. Even though I ordered Wide fit. I had a foot pain and a little sore. Couldn't run the next day. I had to return them. I got the ASICS gel kayano 27. Perfect as always.

This was my first pair of Hoka One One shoes. Out of the box they felt true to size and offered a great deal of cushioning. I wore them on one of my usual routes through my neighborhood and really liked how they felt...at first. After about a mile I started to feel a hot spot on the instep of both feet. By the time I got home I had blisters. This is the first pair of shoes I've ever had this problem with. I wore them two more times and they caused blisters both times. I wanted to like these shoes and had read good things about them but they obviously won't work for me.

So much EVA Foam cushioning made every step feel like walking in deep sand. My feet would sink in and made waking more labored. Going back too Brooks and not sure how this brand has become so popular.

I liked the Bondi but even the Men's 9 2E was too narrowl. So I was excited for the 4E-and guess what? I felt very little difference and found the actual platform was no wider. Very disappointed and returned the shoes.

First off I'd like to start by saying the Bondi's are by far my favorite running shoe ever. My feet having gotten increasing wide over the past few years (w/ possible bunion development of the little toe). The Bondi 6 wide served me well until my foot seemly got wider somehow and started to rub. I was very excited about the extra wide version coming out this year. I'm unfortunately rating the extra wide so low because as I hold the soles of the Bondi 6 (2E) against the Bondi 7 (4E) there is absolutely no difference in width... When wearing them the only noticeable difference is the 7's seem to be a quarter to half inch longer. I even tried going down a half size with no improvements in the width.

I work in healthcare and have had back issues in the past. Everyone talked about these shoes and how they helped them during the day. Very comfortable on feet; however, after walking a short distance my hips began to hurt and then my lower back. Unable to wear due to this.

Cushion is very stiff. Feels more narrow. and I bought the wide.

Ever since your Bondi 4 version? You have not had a shoe w/ any cushion whatsoever in my size. I just tried your Bondi 7 and the cushion was less than the old Bondi 6's I have now. Bondi 5 was less worse than 6. I, truly, wish you would take more effort for men w/ larger/wider feet and provide more cushion.

Ran a marathon in the Bondi 6 and it was the worst shoe ever for a marathon, made feet hurt after about 20 miles. Bought the Bondi 7 thinking they would of upgraded them they feel worst then the Bondi 6 in training runs over 15 miles. Would of gave no stars, but not a opinion.

The fit of the shoe is horrible, and while I was interested in getting another pair that to was a bad fit. They also felt like a they are very cheep. Tried to return it but it was a gift and could not. Out over $150 bucks and have a pair of shoes I can not wear. Won't ever buy shoes on the web again.
