Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

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.
