HOKA ONE ONE Bondi 7

I've been wearing Hoka's since the orig Bondi, and have been through 6 pairs of the 7s.  I'm a 40's hobby jogger, and the 7s are easy to adjust to fit my narrow feet well, fit my orthotics easily, good cushioning on my missing-meniscus knees, and I've taken the 7s out on two road marathons and several runs.  I usually only get about 250 miles on them before I notice they start to break down though.  That is not as long as some of the earlier Bondi's last, but I really like the cushioning for good recovery and support on the run ( did not like the 8s, so went back to the 7s)

I do not wear this shoe for running. I have some complex issues caused by injury. I also own the Bondi eight my preference, however, is for the Bondi seven because it has a little narrow out so and I like the comfort level and I feel more at home in this shoe.  Both shoes have been through quite a lot, but I find that the more structured upper on the Bondi seven is longer lasting and is generally more comfortable the Bondi 8 he is not as stable as Shoe. It allows for a lot more movement in the upper part of the shoe. I also prefer the cushion in the Bondi seven.

Not the fastest. Wide base and good cushion. Don’t worry about feet issues anymore. Could use a better or longer lasting grip.  Heavier than Clifton but doesn’t feel as squishy. 

Expensive shoe, but worth it; I'm 67 years old, have been running for almost 50 years, and had off-and-on Achilles issues until I started wearing Hokas many years ago. None since.

Great for "mature" marathoners.  I race in what I train with.  Very stable, yet also responsive on tempo runs.  Center rocker requires patience during transition from other shoes, but the rewards from reduced injuries well worth it.  New version of Bondi less stable.  A bit of a disappointment.

I've been very happy with these shoes, very good cushioning, but don't feel clunky

Hoka Bondi has been a great shoe for me as my body ages and I want to continue to run 40+ miles per week.
