Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi X

I am triathlete. Needed good shoe for long distances these are great. I bought 2 extra pairs for next season. Third type of hoka's I have had. These are the very best.

These shoes are super comfortable and look cool just running errands. The cushioned ankle portion, however, may be uncomfortable to start and higher ankle socks are necessary to avoid blisters. Otherwise love the shoe. I use this for walking on the treadmill.

Love this even more than the original Bondi

I'm an older runner and need the cushioning of the traditional Bondi, but with the addition of the carbon plate it takes these shoes to a whole new level. I've added miles as well as shortened my time with these. I'd buy them again no question!

I walk at least 3 miles everyday. I replaced my Brookes with HOKAs and I couldn't be happier. They fit amazing and as soon as I put them on my shin splints stopped aching.

I walk/jog about 8+ miles per day. Best shoe I have ever had. This is my favorite. I highly recommend BondiX. I have already told many of my friends.

I have 2 pair of Bondi 6, 1 pair Bondi 7 and just treated myself to the Bondi X. I love them. They are great on the road and in the gym.

These are expensive but awesome. I've been frustrated with the new versions of the regular Bondi. The X's are soft enough for long, long, long runs but responsive enough that you don't sink down into a marshmallow pit that you can barely pull your feet out of. The colorway is nice too. Thanks for a great shoe. I hope you keep making these forever so I can keep running ultras until I'm a really old lady.

Love the fit which is a bit more narrow than the regular Bondi 8 style, which works great for me. The shoe tongue is not like all other Bondi shoes - it doesn't come up as high on the arch of foot and the laces tend to slide up and get you right in the top of the ankle. But I still am trying to make it work because I love the fit so much.

The front box is a bit too wide. But overall great shoe to run. Pricey buy good.

This shoe is just too substantial for me. It's super cushy and lightweight but there is simply too much shoe. I returned the Bondi X and have ordered a different sleeker Hoka style.

Shoe provides adequate cushioning for sure but the big wing on the back in not only visually rather silly, but it catches on things / stairs in particular. This is perhaps minor, but I own 8 pairs of Hokas and this is the only one I have to lace super tight to keep heel from slipping.

Love your products but the Bondi X didn't work for be to balance, very wide at the heel. I did order the Clifton 8 and I just love it

I absolutely loved my first pair so I bought a second pair after putting a fair amount of miles on my first pair. I'm sad to say this second pair just doesn't fit the same. They feel tight on my feet and the arch bothers me a bit . I don't think I can run in this pair.

I only wear Hokas, and they usually feel so good and fit well. These are the least comfortable model I've ever bought. For the money spent, I'm pretty disappointed. The tongue is too thin and so the laces hurt the tops of my feet. They run big, so I have to wear thicker socks with them. I wear them because I don't want to waste my money but I prefer the other models I have...way more comfortable than these.

I heard so much about Hokas and I was excited to try them. I only run about 20 miles a week but after years of running my feet feel like they need more support. Fir all their girth, the Bondi sole doesn't seem to offer any arch support or even much cushion. Unfortunately, by the time I could get a eal feel for the shoes I had already worn them outside so I guess I'll have to keep them. I much prefer Nike React Flyknit.

They're okay, but still not as cushioned as I like. Don't know why Hoka has reduced the cushioning in all their shoes, which is why I started buying them in the first place!

I got the right size and it kept hurting the top of my foot. No matter how loose I tied the shoe, the laces dug into my foot because the tongue was too thin. Had to return them before I got an injury from it. Wouldn't recommend this shoe for running.

These were so great for the first 100 miles- They were supportive and comfortable. After 100 miles the bottom started to wear out and I was consistently getting huge blisters no matter what socks I wore. I expected far more miles on these shoes because of how much they cost.

This style does not fit my feel properly. It slips with every step. I've tried different tying techniques to help but nothing has. Love my old Hokas but they have no life left in them.

Although I had high hopes for this quite expensive shoe, It did not give me the comfort of the Bondi 7. I will hold off until the 8 is available. Of course with HOKA, returns are SOO easy.

Not a good fit for me, this shoe is way to low cut and my foot kept coming out. I couldn't even wear my orthotics either. Not as cushioning as expected. I love the Hoka Bondi 7, I returned this shoe for the Bondi 7,

I've bought Hoka Bondi's since 2018 and loved them. The last pair I purchased in Jan 2023 were completely different however. Not as comfortable and cushy and the loop on the back was changed from horizontal to vertical making them more difficult to put on. A rep from Hoka suggested the x model at a higher price. These shoes were even more uncomfortable and I felt like I was getting plantar fasciitis after wearing just for 30 min. I sent them back for a refund and am making do with my bondi 8
