Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi X

Super comfy when you put them on however tans unlike my Clifton's, they are too narrow in the toe box. Reminds me of the original hokas.

I'm a huge fan of the Rocket X, and was looking for a training shoe with more cushion for my ailing knees but also the carbon plate (because that seems to help my ailing Achilles tendons too...what can I say? I'm a mess). But I tried these on several runs and they are just way too much shoe for me. I'm a smaller person, at 125 lb, size 6.5 running shoe, and these just feel like inflexible boats. I waited too long to return them (I really wanted them to work), so I've kept them as good walking shoes. They feel great to walk in, very cushioned and stable. Just not flexible enough for a run for a smaller female (long time) runner.

First- get a dark color. The material grabs dirt very easily and it swear it's a magnet. A little too chunky on the heel, don't go down stairs with them on. My chins seems to have an issue with these shoes but I'm hoping it works itself out. I've noticed a discoloration on the fabric as well, I ordered the light teal color, I wish I had gotten black.

This is I think my tenth pair of Bondi shoes. I have several mechanical issues with my feet and ankles and I honestly thought I had found my athletic shoe for life. When I reordered I would get two pair so I'd have a backup. But this new BondiX is not the same. The hallux rigidus problem I have came back almost immediately, within the first few days of wearing the new pair. And then a couple weeks in the ankle pains I get from severe overpronation also came back. The same support is not there. I know Bondi isn't the most supportive Hoka style but it has worked really well for me in the past but not any longer. I am sad to say they are no longer working for me and my search for a new make begins.

I am A die-hard Bondi girl. That she works for me like no other. So I thought hey this looks really great so I'm going to give it a try. The fit was disappointing and the tongue length was so short that it kept working its way down into the shoe which made the shoe strings sit right on the top of my foot. For me it was not comfortable at all and nothing like the other Bondis.

For some reason these made my knees and ankles very sore.

I'm not crazy about the Bondi X. While they're plush, they hit higher on the ankle than the Bondi 7. They're definitely not for running. I won't be buying them again, especially at the extremely high price.

*My husband bought these for me as I didn't want to pay as much for shoes.*I love Hoka Bondi. They were a little more pricey than I was used to paying but after getting my Hoka Bondi 6 pair a couple of years ago, I was sold! They have held up great but were, of course, starting to break down some. I am a walker and also a nurse on the go. I wanted to wait til the new Bondis came out before purchasing anything new. I was a bit taken aback at the price but I was sure they would be worth it. I also a bit disappointed with the limited color. White usually isn't a good color for a nurse who is at the bedside (Hoka, if you want medical professionals at the bedside to purchase shoes, we need colors other than white!). I was excited to get them and although I'm not completely disappointed, I not completely satisfied. I didn't like the tongue of the shoe ...not padded enough which makes it tough for older fingers to get a hold of and rubs a bit while walking. The protruding heel can snag on things in tight quarters of the nursing world. After wearing them now for a couple weeks, I have decided that my 2 year old Bondi 6's are just as comfortable as the Bondi X with the price $50 cheaper! Please go back to the drawing board Hoka. Be what I know you can be.

I ordered an 11 and I think I got a mans shoe. I grabbed them on my way out to a hike and I had no choice to wear them and they just are too big. I have bought in the past and loved them. It was my fault for not trying them before the hike. Be careful they ran big for me.

I find the heel slips and the tongue of the shoe goes up too high on my foot I like the BONDI 7 better

Sneaker is very bulky and not very flexible.

Nice shoe, fairly comfortable. Not my favorite hoka shoe

I work in retail and walk at least 20k steps a day 5 days a week so I have turned to Hoka's - this is my 4th pair. As with my previous pairs, they are worn out by the 6-month mark (start to get a hole in the fabric part by the little toe whether purchased wide or regular sizing). I chose this the Bondi X because of the Podiatric recommendation, however my heels started to hurt pretty badly after a few months of consistent wear. I will not be purchasing this style again.

I I ordered size 8 but it seems like they are 9 Even if I tie the laces tight, they slip out of my heel when I walk. I would return them but I used them for a whole day. I ordered Bondi 8 and Rincon 3 before and loved them. Bondi x ist not bad quality they don't fit right.

Tongue of shoe too shorty. Shoe laces too short!!
