Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 5

I have chronic plantar plate injury at my second toe. Podiatrist recommended Hokas. These shoes have allowed me to walk and get some exercise without extreme pain. Can barely walk barefoot but get around pretty well with Hokas.

The Bondi 5 saved my running season! I was putting in long mileage on my old shoes (asics gel kayano) and started getting shin splints and plantar fasciitis, so I started looking for something with more cushioning. I took full advantage of generous return policies and tried several shoes and models from different companies before settling on this one. My shin splints... gone, plantar fasciitis... gone! Thanks to this shoe I could put in many more miles of training which I needed since I wanted to run a marathon and my first 50 mile ultra this year. I rotated several pairs of this shoe over several months and 600+ miles of training which included several very long runs on mixed surfaces (longest was 30 miles). I ran the marathon, and ran the ultra in this shoe with no problems at all. This shoe combined with foot lubrication and toe socks, and no blisters after 50 miles. The marathon was on pavement, and the ultra was on very muddy, slushy, snowy technical trail. The shoe was great on both types of terrain. This shoe saved my running season, thank you Hoka One One for a great shoe. Now that I am between seasons I will probably start test driving the Bondi 6 in preparation for next season.

I usually run in Clifton's which is an awesome shoe but I choose the Bondi when I'm running more than normal mileage and am trying to be proactive about injuries.

I'm 240 lbs and it is really comfortable running in these Bondi 6 shoes....

Great with persons like myself who have neuropathy...I alternate four of your plush wide shoes even day of the week. again and again!

Bondi and Evelon models cured my planter fasciitis

I was recommend by coworkers and they were right. These are the best shoes. I was looking for shoes to jumprope in that give me the cushioning I needed. These are the ones. I will and have recommend these shoes to my jump rope community. I bought another pair different style/color with same level of cushioning. Wish they offered more large women sizes. Both pairs I ordered in the colors I wanted were in men sizes.

I bought these Men's Hoka One One Bondi 5's September 1st, 2017. I started tracking my miles May 2nd. As of today, I have put 477 tracked miles on this pair of shoes, I have at least 200 more miles not tracked from September 1, 2017, to May 1st, 2018. Just goes to show how amazing they are.

I tracked every single running mile. I trained for over a year for my 1st Ironman in Wisconsin. I am retiring my pair after 405 miles of running. They also were used beyond running and do have daily use mileage as well. The held their end. I will be getting a 2nd pair for my next Ironman.
