Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi X

I've been trying to break these in, I am about 60-70 miles in and they constantly feel off. Uneven, too tight then too lose. The tongue is always slipping. They are so expensive and so frustrating. They'll ruin a run. I've had so many great products from hoka- running shoes, recovery sandals, apparel. I am very disappointed.

So this was disappointing. I have 1 other pair of HOKA's, literally, the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever worn. I walk 45 mins each day and have knee pain. They help so much with this. So I bought this pair, they were 2 times as much as my previous pair. The soles, are hands down,the most comfortable thing I've ever walked in. BUT, they cut really deep into my ankles. I had on proper socks, per usual. Walked in them quite a bit, 3 separate occasions, wouldn't break-in. My other pair took about 2 weeks to break-in. I'm so disappointed and wanted these to not cut into my ankles. Hopefully they will be updated, I am feeling unsure about any other models except my first pair.

The shoes run large . I was looking for the most cushion for standing , walking, and running .

I first order my usual size And returned for half size smaller but it's still too big and it's impossible to run.. it's a good walking shoes that's about it :(

This was the first of nearly 10 pair of Hokas that didn't fit perfectly out of the box. The heel slipped and my toes weren't comfortable. I have been told that the Biondi X has a different construct. No problem. I'll just go back to some of the other styles.

Uncomfortable shoes

I returned Bondi x and bought Bondi 7's and had to return both pair of them. I went to a brick and motor store to buy a pair of Bondi 7's because i needed to try them on in store to get the right size. I ended up buying a pair of Bondi 7's at Rogans shoes. The first few weeks they where ok but I noticed at the end of the day the top of my feet where in pain. I just bought a pair of gdefy shoes and my feet are so much happier. The bummer is I now have a hardly used pair of Hokas that are of no use to me. :(

There so big looking my 8.5 looks like a size 10. They fit but it all the extra that make them huge

It felt like walking on stones. I love my other Bondi's though and will definitely buy them again.

Excellent customer service.

feels too big

I went through customer service and they took care of me. I returned the product and received a refund.

For an honest rating, this is not a bad product, just not right for me. It was very loose, even when laced up and did not provide a smooth ride. I went back to my Clifton 8's and absolutely love them. The exchange process was simple too! Thanks Hoka!!

Would not buy

The heal was too loose. Had I gone smaller they would not have fit. The toe box was really tight as well

Very bulky running shoe; although I love the focus on comfort and cushion, the back of the shoe is so bulky that it's hard to believe this is a performance shoe: PLEASE, PLEASE BRING BACK THE VANQUISH!

I was so excited to get my shoes because my daughter bought a pair and loves them. My experience not so good, actually my shoes caused blisters in the back of my heel. So mad that the blood seeped through when I was walking. The first time thought hey I need to break them in. Then again the second time so now just waiting to heel cause I can't wear shoes because of the scabs. No my shoes aren't to small I actually think the shoe has a defect

over sized , too wide and fit is off , not comfortable at all

I've been a Bondi wearer for several years now. I guess I somehow didn't notice this is a completely different shoe than other versions. The sole is huge and extends quite a bit out from the footbed, especially in the back. I bought the Hoka hiking boots with this type of sole, but after hiking a few times in them and at higher mileage, I developed heel/low ankle pain. Decided to just return these. Might work for others, but they are not for me.
