Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi X

Felt like my heel was slipping out with each step. Loved how it felt otherwise

This is a great sneaker but the tongue is cut differently than my other Hokas. After a long run, I have blisters from it.

It made my feet hurt. It was uncomfortable in the heels.

The shoe doesn't fit well nor is comfortable- it fit larger than expected now I am stuck wearing it with thicker socks. I have never had issues with my size & I ordered an 8.5- it feels a size larger urghhh I love HOKA but the quality has gone down considerably- I bought 3 pairs sent 2 back they were so bad & ordered a 3rd that doesn't fit well- I may have to return it as well- very disappointed

Headline says it all. It's a horrible defect and so bizarre that Hoka didn't test for this. It happens within a few months of regular use. Please give us a replacement without this defect. The shoes are 210+ and can't believe it. I've bought 4 pairs and happened every time!

I bought these to replace my Bondi 7's since those are not currently available. I was told the Bondi 8 are not as soft so went for the Bondi X - disappointed with the result here. They are no where near as soft as my plush Bondi 7's. They are also wider and my feet slide around in them even though I ordered the regular width like my Bondi 7's.

Extended heel - why? Looks chunky and feels awkward. I see no reason for this change - hate it, will be looking for a different sneaker

Narrow, unstable fit. Ended my run early bc I couldn't take it. I definitely feel like I wasted my money.

My hills keep sliding out. I am going to return the shoes.

I have aways had the tried and true Bondi's, the cushioning and support have been nonstop amazing on my feet and always felt like walking on pillows but yet supportive at the same time. I thought I wauld try the Bondi X out, but was unfortunately disappointed with the new shoe. It was quite narrow from the Bondis 7 and 8 at least. The heel that goes around your ankle is a lot shorter so it feels unstable. Also, the tongue of the shoe is flimsy and comes up a lot shorter on the top of your foot, and the fabric just feels like a hard mesh instead of soft fabric. For me, it was a thumb's down.

Do not buy. They over tried on this model. The back is way too low the tongue has no cushion and digs into your ankle. No ankle support at all. I hate these shoes, and Hoka makes it almost impossible to return anything. Buy the Bondi 8 instead. That's what I should've done.

Too much forward progression and not comfortable

Returning

I've purchased many pairs hoping to get the same quality as the Hokas I have bought in the past...but I'm sorry to say that the quality has gone down hill.

Too long and too loose

I don't like it at all and sent it back. Looking forward to my refund. I'm looking into stores in the area where I can touch, feel and try on my HOKAs, which usually thrill me. Not this one. It looks like I' wearing boats on my feet, unfortunately.

The shoe is hard and hurt my feel after a 12 hour shift.

I don't know what happened! I always buy the same size but this style was way too big!

I have other Bondi models, but the Bondi X just doesn't fit the same. It doesn't come high enough on the front of the ankle, so it hurts every time that I tie my shoes. Also, how the shoe is built in the bottom it doesn't give me an easy step/gait. I really regret buying this shoe. The sizing is good, but it's not the same feel. The problem is that it took me wearing them and using them to know that this was not a good shoe.... but now I can't return this expensive shoe.

I hurt my feet and the sole of the shoe felt very heavy and hard

Tongue is too short Heal is not high enough Uncomfortable shoe to run in

The Bondi X shoes caused me to supinate. I've had my right knee replaced and your shoes caused knee alignment issues when I walked resulting in pain. They also caused my cuboid bones on both feet to become inflamed. I have plantar fibromatosis on both feet and thought these would be a good fit for my condition. Unfortunately they were not.

I am Blind, and I workout with Camp Gladiator 4 days a week for 2 years now and I went through So many different kinds of shoes trying to find the Best pair for me, as soon as I bought the Hoka One One Bondi's I Loved them, they made my workout So much easier.....I was so excited when the Bondi 10's were available that I paid almost $250.00 for these shoes, but they hurt my feet so bad, I am so disappointed I was really looking forward to the Bondi 10's because I have the Bondi 7's and 8's, (which i wore when i compeated in the 2022 Camp Gladiator Games) and Love them but the Bondi 10's are Awful, the worst part is that I'm still making payments on these shoes and I can't even wear them !?!?

The tongue of the shoe ends right at the ankle and cuts into the ankle while running. The tongue needs to extend past the shoelaces.
