I own three pair. They are very comfortableI only wear them at work in retail and spend the day on a concrete floor. The treads on the heel of all three shoes become unglued and fold up after a few months. I must tear them off to keep from tripping.

I've only worn the shoes once and was disappointed that the shoes weren't plush like it said they would be.

The inside arch was very hard and felt defective. They were returned.

I bought my first pair of Bondi 7 over a year ago and they have been phenomenal. I wore those shoes almost every day and could walk for miles always feeling comfortable and supported, literally the "flying experience". I was very excited to order a new pair as to repeat such a positive performance and I did not even bother to look elsewhere.
Well as soon as I put the new ones on I knew something was not quite right. The confirmation arrived just after a short walk. Aching on my legs and calf muscles and my feet were just very unhappy. I did compare/walk with my old pair just to make sure it was not me - the old pair is quite worn out by now but still holding ok - and indeed no issues. Something is just not the same. The legendary bouncing, support and cushioning seem gone. The balance also appears to be shifted somehow from the sole back to the heel. Not sure what what it is and what is changed but my legs and feet know what works and what not and these do not. I just want to take off the shoes as soon as I can VS before, when I just wanted to get out and never stop going.
Sorry to be so disappointed. I was really a huge fan, I will need to look somewhere else next time. I won't buy the Bondi 7 again.

I use the shoes for fitness walking, and light treadmill runs. My feet usually begin hurting after about a mile. They seem to fit ok. They are very spongy.

They hurt my feet so bad. Will not buy again, but because they cost so much, I have to wear them
Thanks

While the length and width of the flip flop is sized correctly and the cushion is great, unlike other flip flops the part that fits over the top of foot is way too loose. It's as though the shoe was designed for people with super fat feet

For the price point this shoe is at, it is just not worth the price for my feet. Wore it a few times and the shoe just wasn't a good fit for my type of foot. Size was right size but the shoe was too hard on my feet and didn't meet the expectation of being a plush sole. This was the second Bondi that I had, the last being the Bondi 6 which was an initial purchase and the outer mesh of the shoe developed a hole in a short period of time so I returned it paying for shipping to get a credit. The second shoe was the Bondi 7. Right now, this brand shoe just doesn't hold water for me to go back to - and paying for return shipping on what I feel is an overpriced product is just not worth it so I am done with Hoka One One shoes for now. I will give it 2 stars for the manufacturing effort for those folks that this may be right for, but it just wasn't right for me.

I have flat feet and am looking for shoes that I can stand on my feet for eight hours. They are good shoes for other workers, they suggested these shoes to me. They love them!

I would not buy these shoes again. I love Hoka, but my Bondi 7s were not very well made. I had them less than a month and wore them maybe 15 times when both shoes developed quarter-size holes in the back of the ankle which now causes huge blisters so I can no longer use these shoes. Seems like the padding in the back is so weak and thin it is a bad design.

Unfortunately I returned this shoe as it runs very narrow in the foot bed and made my toes go numb while running. But loved the cushion on the heel. Will try a different style from HOKA

The loop on the back snapped off when I put them on. I have several pair of these and they are very comfortable, but are prone to sode blowouts and now this. I’m returning these and re ordering.

The back on one of the sneakers continually bends down when I try to put them on...eventually my foot will go in but it is not comfortable at all... I have taken out the original shoelaces and put in no tie laces
What do you advise?

The wide-sized Altra Lone Peak fit me perfectly (highly recommend!), but my search for a "road shoe" with more heel cushion (I walk ~40 miles per week) led me to the Hoka One One Bondi 7. The shoe has a good look and nice heel cushion, but fit me poorly (male, 9.5 wide) being too narrow: causing a friction blister on the left lateral first toe, pinch blisters on the 5th toes bilaterally, and discomfort due to squeezing at 5th metatarsophalangeal joints bilaterally. Returning the shoes (thank you Runlimited Program!) with the plan to try the extra-wide size ?.
I'd also recommend:
Altra Lone Peak 5, wide

I loved these shoes, but they did not last. The mesh material is very brittle. While walking I stepped on an uneven spot in the pavement and my foot came out of the side of the shoe. The mesh had ripped away from the sole like it was perforated. I was very disappointed and won’t buy these again. Not what I expected from Hoka.

As a previous Clifton owner (two pairs) I am disappointed by the feel of the bondi. The toe box is too narrow. The rest of the shoe is true to size. I have purchased other HOKAs in this size without issue. The cushioning is satisfactory.

I was recommended these shoes by my podiatrist because they have the meta rocker for my arthritic big toe. Unfortunately the wide width is still too narrow for me. I will continue to search for an appropriate shoe.

There is what feels like rigid ridge running on the outside of the left insole. Causing pain and resulting in a corn developing on the side of my foot; I even ordered a WIDE because this happened on a previous pair of Hokas.

I purchased size 10, medium width, which I have purchased many times before. The pair I received felt one size larger in both the length and width, almost felt like a men’s shoe. Super disappointed. Second time this has happened with Zappos. Will no longer purchase athletic shoes this way. I will go to vendor directly from point forward.

I got these really hoping it's an improvement over Bondi 6 that I have used 2 pairs before. This shoe is less comfortable and very tight in the toe box despite loosening the laces to it s full. Thought might be the new shoe thing and I have to let it settle. Returning it after trying it for 2 weeks as it simply does not mould to any better fit. Give 2 star for great customer service Hoka has that allows a return with in 30 days.
