Runner’s World Review
The most cushioned road shoe Download Your Training Plan makes, the Bondi maintains the same soft platform, rounded sole, and smooth ride as previous versions. This update, however, fits a little roomier in the toebox; a new last adds 3 mm width. The upper also has a sleek look, with an engineered mesh for better breathability and printed overlays. The most noticeable change is that it looks like a traditional running shoe. That’s because Hoka has painted the top half of the sidewalls—but rest assured, all that cushioning is intact.

We put each shoe through real-world usage and a battery of mechanical tests in our lab to provide you with objective — and exclusive — data. In addition to a shoe's weight, we measure sole thickness (everything that sits between your foot and the road), how well the foam cushions your stride, and the flexibility of the forefoot. All this is taken into account in our reviews of each shoe.
