    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 !

    Thanks for the laughter portion of the video. That's cool how the company created that with the line, you had explained.

    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”!

    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.

    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.

    • @TheKOreport
      @TheKOreport  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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
      @TheKOreport  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would think so yes. In sketchers, I’m usually a 10.5. Nike, Under Armor, and these are all 11.5

      @@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.

    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.

    • @TheKOreport
      @TheKOreport  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

      @@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.
