I waited a full week to get these and the box is absolutely destroyed and the shoes are dirty with rocks and mud on the bottoms! I emailed customer service to see what exactly has gone wrong as this is not what I have come to expect from REI. I'm not sure where the break down was here but I'm not impressed! $150 for dirty shoes. I got these to do physical therapy in as per directed from my doctor to correct a problem with my feet. I hope they do something to make this right or they've just lost a customer!
I had pretty much given up on finding a perfect shoe. Spent thousands of hours on tired sore feet and hundreds of dollars on all the wrong shoes and insoles. I saw someone wearing Hokas at Costco and casually asked how she liked them. Her face lit up and she gushed that they changed her life. I went into REI for hiking boots but saw the Hokas there and tried them on. Now I'm the one gushing with a silly grin on my face!! I can't believe these shoes exist and I just found them. I work 10-12 hour shifts standing on concrete... These not only help my feet... They help posture, knees, hips, shoulders and neck. I smiled thru work all week! Thank you Hoka!!!
After 12 years on the concrete floor all day, I was coming home in pain daily. Add to that the fact that I started walking about 3 miles each way to work and I needed something better. Walking on the road/ sidewalks and standing on that awful floor all day have been no issue. Worth every penny and then some. They also seem to be water repellant and dry quickly after I walk through dew-soaked grass or if I am hit by the sprinklers. Wish they were in red, but I digress...
These shoes have been a life saver in saving my previous sore feet from not being nearly as sore. I have plantar fasciitis and this shoes have helped deal with the pain from that. I am not crazy about the color but needed something quick so just gonwhat was in stock and am glad I did.
The podiatrist and a friend both recommended Hoka shoes. I have hammertoes and a stress fracture. So far these shoes (Bondi 5 version) are very comfortable. Lots of cushioning and roll on the front end. Larger in the toe box than most of my other walking shoes, too.
Absolutely Love these shoes. I have an issue with in my left foot and a podiatrist told me about these great shoes. They have magnificent cushion and support. A bit expensive but WELL worth the cost. Great for anyone who walks all day on a hard surface.
Really loving my Bondi 5 for running after a stress fracture in my foot 9 months ago. Cushion is great! They provide neutral support so I added green superfeet inserts for my arches
I have had many bondi’s in the past the Bondi 3 was good Bondi 4 I did not care for but this Bondi 5i is the best yet. I have arthritis in my toes and this makes running easier
My foot doctor recommend I try these shoes. I love them. I show them to everyone I can. He also said that this brand has an excellent boot. I will try that next!
Purchased after food doctor recommended them. Very comfortable. The only thing I don't like is the mesh fabric - if it's raining, my socks and feet get wet.
