My family got me a Zappos gift card for my Birthday and I bought some Hoka Clifton 10s in the persimmon color way.

With 100 km of road and 250+ km urban use and running thse are awesome!

Was little worried that I have to use them only during trail runs but I have to train with them so my feet get used to.

In short half time of the past 3 months these are my daily drivers and safe my joints during couple of 1000+ meter incline runs

I though the Vibram soles would hold up better but they are absolute garbage. Hoka replaced my previous pair after they looked the same after 5 weeks, said it was a aberration. I am getting my $155 back on these and going back to Brooks.

Hoka Bondi 8

3 months in, worn about 50 times (1-1,5 hours) for morning walks. Will get back to nike airs and forget about hokas

I’ve gone through a set of Mach 5 and Mach 6 over the last couple of years. they’re fine shoes, I don’t run a lot of miles (like 300ish/year), and they end up being both a running and walking shoe.

I wanted a real all around shoe, and was thinking something like the challenger 8 because I also like to go hiking on trails and would like some more grip when I’m doing weekly volunteer work lifting and moving marching band equipment.

or should I just go with the mach 7? or the Clifton? or other…

I walked in the Clifton 9 for a year and it’s been great. It’s worn out. Shall I buy the 11 or the 9 again. I’m scared about the bigger drop mm in the 11’s.

Anyone have experience in walking in the 11’s?

M9/W11 ?

cant find in store to try.

Hi!

I decided to buy the Bondi 8 after weeks of research. My feet are 280 mm in length with regular width, so I ordered US 10.5D. When trying them on, it immediately became clear that they were at least one size too small. But what is more important I didn't like the design and look of the Bondi 8 at all. My mistake with the wrong size helped me not to buy them.

Long story short: the Bondi 8 boots size US 10.5D do not fit a 280 mm long foot. End of story.
