Great Shoes. I am short, stumpy and have wide feet. These are great. I am a treadmill guy and they have served well!
Not really a review, but just a note to every interested buyer that the Bondi 7 shoes run small, so buy 1/2 size up. REI does not have clear size info, but I saw run small order 1/2 size up on Nordstrom's review site, so I ordered size 9.5. I have also order a pair of size 9 Hoka Clifton 8, sure enough when I got them and compare the sizes of both shoes, they are the same size.
Back heel support of both shoes had holes develop after less than 6 months of normal walking use (never ran in them), which exposed the hard plastic underneath that rubs against both of my Achilles Heels. An obvious manufacturing defect. Shame, REI, on selling such a defective product!
I’ve been a Bondi runner since I hit my 50’s. They have prolonged my career. I feel like Ace Frehley in these neon jobs. Sorry, a boomer reference.
Not a big runner so I haven’t really tested these shoes to the degree that such a nice athletic shoe warrants, but I wanted a pair as someone who likes athletic shoes for casual wear and wanted to see what the hype is about. Really like the design, and they’re more comfortable than I hoped they would be. Love going on walks in them and the little running I’ve done I’ve felt a nice bounce in my step. If you want support in a running shoe, plenty of padding, or just some new athletic shoes with some chunk, definitely recommend these.
I typically do not like to buy shoes online, but in this case it worked out well. These shoes are super comfortable. I inserted special orthotic inserts and needed virtually no time breaking them in. I'm no runner but am a walker--and almost bounce my way along. Very happy with this purchase
Although an earlier version, these Bondi shoes are excellent for runs on hard surfaces. I find the Bondi shoes have the best cushioning for my purposes.
A bit spendy but Hoka's are extremely comfortable and durable.
Best running shoes I have ever had!
The Bondi 7 is another great shoe! Very comfortable and supportive. I wear them while walking as I now have arthritis in my hips from all the running I used to do. That being said, these really do help with my stride and thanks to all of the cushioning minimize stress on my knees and hips. I wish Hoka had not redesigned the Bondi 8. Love the 7!
