Hi Doris! I don’t think I can help. It really just depends on the shoe. Most shoes have to size up at least a half a size. and the Bondis are support so they help with any rolling in or out. Sorry fort he delay in my response, this comment system was down unbeknownst to me!

I am disappointed with the Bondi 8’s. Returned them and very sad. My back and legs hurt with the 8, not with the 7. Boohoo… can’t find any 7’s.

I went back this year & tried the Hoka Bondi 8, & it was not at all comfortable. It felt like something was at the edges???… & they just didn’t feel right.

My shoes wear down on the outer edges which implies that I am a supinator. So why would these shoes be so comfortable for me, as in reading, it says they are good for mild pronators?

Every shoe that I have bought in ages, (cheap shoes) have been 8 wides, but they put me in 7 regulars & they were plenty big.

I was fitted at Fleet Feet in Hendersonville, TN. They were great & not at all pushy. But, they no longer had the Hoka Bondi 7’s. I have the foot scan from them that came from: My Volumental <my@volumental.com with this in the email:

Hi Doris!

I don't know how to get that info to you. without cc-ing a copy to you. (I have not been able to print off anything but the picture. Not any of the measurements.) Was wondering IF you could validate that I truly would wear a size 7 medium & that the site that has them for sale is legitimate. (I am older & get very little exercise, so these would just be for walking, comfort, & everyday wear when I get out of the house.)

I was leery of ordering online as I know that there are a lot of fakes out there, but I found this site: https://hokoflashsale.com/product/hoka-womens-bondi-7/ & they were selling the Hoka Bondi for $48 & one could use PayPal, which backs up my purchases. They have a countdown of an hour for the deal…but I am hoping that that is just a gimmick to get us to purchase immediately. I want to KNOW that they are legitimate & that I am truly a size 7 & that the HOKA BONDI 7 is the right shoe for me. I am low income & have "issues" that keep me pretty much in bed, but to have a shoe that feels "heavenly", I am willing to pay & if indeed, I can get them for $48, then I am all in… Maybe even 2 pair?

I was hoping for some feedback from you. I didn't think that there would be any HB-7's left at all, much less in my size 7. Still wondering why all my previous shoes are size 8's & feel too small?

Thank you for any & all information & help.

Doris
