Thanks, you're like me. I'm a parts guy at a big car dealership and walk on concrete all day long and need cushy. You convinced me to try them. Thank you. I'm no runner. Love your music and bass volume on this vid too. Keep it up. God bless and keep you and yours safe.
Mahalo for a beautiful description of a shoe I was given & I’m not a runner @ 76 , so you answered all my questions & they are 1/2 size larger than what I wear so you covered everything & I’m grateful !
I have had two pairs of these shoes in the last year. With the first pair the inside of the heel box in both shoes wore out in about nine months causing friction and blistering on my heels. (I am not running in these shoes, just short walks). Zappos was great and exchanged the shoes for another pair. I have had the new pair for only three months and the right heel is already wearing out! For $160 I expect more. Not recommended. I will be trying another brand. Any suggestion people.
Wow!! That’s crazy. I’m still enjoying mine. I love hearing peoples feedback though. Amazing how we’re all made different. Thanks for sharing, I may check out some Zippo’s’
I just bought a pair of these bc of a botched knee surgery three years ago which left me without a meniscus. My thinking was to get shock absorption from a shoe, so I bought these. I like them, they sure are comfortable, but sometimes I feel like I’m rolling backwards. Did you ever get that sensation? Does it go away or at least lessen? Thanks for your video.
For me, I’m the beginning, I felt like I was walking at on my daughters gymnastics mat. A few weeks later that sensation left or I just got used to it. I have two pair now and love them. Thanks for the question and keep me posted!
@@TheKOreport I think the bondi 7 size runs large, not true to the size. I wear 9.5 ASICS, mizuno, brooks… no problem. Got hoka clifton a few years ago, and size 9.5 feels larger… still no problem, ran a few 5k’s but always have to tie them very tight. Wanted to get bondi 7, tried them on, size 9.5 and they are too large… tried 9 , seem better .. will need to try them again before making decision improve to buy or not.
@@frankkoolosko4255 Saved me. My toe prevented me from walking without pain in any shoes I tried until these. They're not perfect and take some time to get used to but now I can walk up and down hills without disabling pain. Now that I'm used to them, I can't think of wearing anything else.

Thanks Pete!! They serve me well
From one dad to another, thanks for your review.

Thank you for the kind words and comment. I hope they serve you well.
Great video!
Thanks for the laughter portion of the video. That's cool how the company created that with the line, you had explained.
Thanks for watching and sharing Your comments
If a guy wears them to church and it's like walking on clouds then this means they are Heavenly.
I just picked up a pair of these to use as a fitness/walking shoe, but I’ll never give up my “Made in the USA” New Balance 990 “dad shoes”!
A true classic for sure!!
I have plantar fasciitis and a heel spur. I bought these because they came recommended due to the cushioning. So far, I'm happy 👍❤️❤️❤️
Hopefully you heal up soon!
@@TheKOreport I hope so. Thanks 👍😀
@@TheKOreport unfortunately, the Hoka Bondi 7 didn't work for me. It's a great shoe, just not for my feet.
I’m sorry! Please let me know what you landed with
@@TheKOreport I actually got Brooks glycerin 19. They are awesome and fit perfectly with just the right amount of cushioning and support. Very happy 👍
Just got my pair in the mail and I am not happy with them...i am really considering returning them.

Thank you 😊
Thanks for the Awesome Review!!..
Thanks awesome review. Thanks
Good review, good video. 👍
Thank you for the review. I normally wear 7.5 but in Nike I have to get an 8. Should I get an 8 in these?
I would think so yes. In sketchers, I’m usually a 10.5. Nike, Under Armor, and these are all 11.5

there’s no difference when it comes to sketchers, brooks, new balance, or hoka. they’re all “dad shoes.” 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, if you’re not kicking it with Nike it seems to be the case
If you have a bone spur in your big toe like I do the shoes will allow you to walk again. I mean real walking.
Having never experienced that I can’t say for sure. What you could do is buy a pair and try, you have a period you can return them without any issues.
It's a wonderful shoe for arthritic big toes.
About 75% of my pain is gone even when I’m not wearing the shoe. I have the same thing
