Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 7

I loved these shoes as soon as I put them on. Love, love, love. I purchased them to ease some achilles/calf pain, and at the recommendation of my massage therapist. I don't want to take them off, they are so incredibly comfortable!!! The only problem is, they're not water proof, which is a serious bummer. So, wet feet it is. I don't understand why athletic shoe companies don't make Gortex sneakers. Wouldn't it be obvious? I mean, rain, people.

The shoes fit pretty well. Many nurses at work are wearing them. I just don't like how clunky they look but overall a good quality shoe

Little big

Love the comfort of this shoe. I have narrow feet, so I have to tie laces tight. I walk 4 miles a day for exercise, these shoes feel great so far!

The fit was too big, I returned them for 1/2 size smaller and it's spot on.

Very pretty color and it's a comfy shoe. I think it runs small because I usually wear a 4 and was surprised that the 5 actually fit well.

Too narrow in the toe box. Heavier than expected.

Overall cute shoe … looks better in person then pic … first day very comfortable by the 2nd day of wear the heal felt like it slanted a bit which made them uncomfortable … on my feet all day so I need just the right shoe

First day they felt amazing then 2nd day of wear the heal of the shoe felt like it slanted down a little … that made them uncomfortable… being on my feet all day I need just the right shoe

I really wanted to love the HOKAs after hearing so many satisfied friends and family. But something about the back of the arch support was protruding into the back of my arch/front of my heel. Somehow the placement was a bit off for my foot. Also, the heel part was a bit too narrow for my heel, so it was pressing on both sides of my heel. On the other hand the toe box was excellent, nice and roomy which I need. The teal color was great. And the soft squishiness of the sole was a-mazing! Like I said, I really wanted it to work, but seemingly not for my feet.

I chose these shoes because of the metatarsalgia I am currently dealing with, along with a history of plantar fasciitis. Size and fit perfect for me. My ready made orthotics fit perfectly and I am able to work and get around all day without pain. The look like they’re too big for me, but I don’t care. My feet are as happy as they can be with this foot problem.

The fit is perfect! I purchased the regular width and they still have wiggle room. I stand most of the day and usually I am in pain by the end of the day. These are very comfortable, in the couple of days I have been wearing them my back and leg pain have decreased.

Wore 2x and I like somewhat for walking. Seem a bit squishy and heavy for running. The inside of shoe has something rubbing bottom of my big toe the wrong way so a little uncomfortable. I'm not hating this shoe or giving up on it after only 2 uses. Will continue to wear and see if there's comfort changes.

I was able to wear these Hokas straight out of the box for a long walk! If I could improve aything, I would have the insole with more cushion.

Shoes were too big. I know shoe sizes vary from one manufacturer to another. Which is why I ordered another pair 1/2 size smaller--however they did not come yet.......and I really need a new pair of shoes!!!!

It’s a very comfortable shoe however I have a fat foot so I should have went with wide. I’ve never had to buy wide shoes before. I guess I will now.

This is one of the few brands where I find my true size. In comparison, they have softer soles which are great on hard pavements. But, the ankles wobble more during walking (similar to when you’re balancing on one foot!) I think in the long run they will strengthen the ankle muscles while providing the cushion support. Let’s hope so as these are my first Hokas! And I haven’t heard anyone complain about ankle pain or injury with long use.

Fit and size were exactly as expected. These shoes have a good arch support so if you aren’t used to that it may be uncomfortable at first.

I have neuromas on both feet as well as tailor bunions on both. These are perfect for sensitive feet. They are very comfortable but they’re not that stylish. I probably could have gone a half size smaller but the shoes give me plenty of toebox room. I wish more neutral colors were available. I will replace the shoe strings of these to make them a little less bright. Depending on the shoe, I wear either a 7 1/2 or an 8 wide shoe. I bought the size 8 wide.
