The HOKA One One Bondi X is designed to deliver the benefits of a carbon fibre plate to the daily training world. With a super-comfortable max-cushioned midsole that is enhanced with a rigid and stable carbon fibre plate, the Bondi X gives any runner a smooth and protective ride that can go the distance, and then some. What You'll Love Signature HOKA cushioningCarbon fibre plate for stability and smooth transitionsEfficient Meta-Rocker geometryCreated with the intention of bringing carbon to all, the HOKA One One Bondi X has all the best qualities of the traditional max-cushioned Bondi with the added benefit of plated technology. The addition of the carbon fibre plate to the midsole gives runners a more stable landing platform and a snappier toe-off which creates confident and efficient strides. The foam surrounding the plate that makes up the midsole is HOKA’s signature EVA that absorbs impact and provides plush landings making the Bondi X perfect for pushing towards more mileage during daily training runs. The Bondi X is also sculpted with HOKA’s early-stage meta-rocker geometry which allows for smooth transitions as well as a rubber outsole that is placed in high wear areas. Finished off with a ventilated mesh upper, the HOKA One One Bondi X is a great daily training option that offers a traditional max-cushioned experience while also introducing runners to the efficiency of carbon-plated technology.

This was my first purchase of Hoka’s online. My husband has two pair. I normally wear a 12M in women’s shoes so a 10D should fit me perfectly. Unfortunately not. I’ve had to return these shoes twice to the store because I actually need an 11D. No matter what it takes, I want these shoes. They are so comfortable, stylish and lightweight on my feet.

I've been using the Bondi 7's and thought I'd give these a try - loved the idea of the carbon in the sole - looking for stiffness due to turf toe. The carbon definitely keep the sole super rigid which is fantastic. The biggest complaint is the extra bulk at the back of the shoe and the removed padding on the tongue. Definitely feeling the laces on the top of my foot compared to the Bondi 7. Shoe seems a little clunky due to the extra material at the back sole - probably added for the extra balance needed for the carbon stiffness. Love these for shorter and faster, but as far as comfort, I'd definitely stick with the Bondi 7, or now Bondi 8.

These shoes provide a nice balance of a stiffer, bouncier ride, which I do feel improves running efficiency with a traditional cloud-like Hoka ride. With wide feet, I went for a half size up as they only seem to have the D width in the carbon sole shoes. I got them to help protect an injured toe and I can say that stiffness does seem to reduce the flex of the toes slightly (though I'm running pretty gently in them so far). People have complained about a very short tongue, which I will say is odd, however so far the laces haven't rubbed on my ankle or popped off the tongue, and I'm using the heel-lock extra hole. Laces are the right length, and hold snug once tied. At $190 for carbon shoes, these are a fantastic deal.

I only run in Hoka. I'm I huge fan and have a few thousand miles in running different models. What I like: the carbon fiber provides a bit of a different feel. It's not a bounce but a bit of a rebound when striking the ground, and it makes a little difference when you want to pick up the pace on a speed workout. Other than this, they ride like the Hokas you've come to love. Here's what I don't like: I'm a multi-surface runner. 60% asphalt, and 40%... everything else. The sole of the shoe has 4 small openings that pick up ever sort of material, which is ok by me, until it's gravel. Little Rock's get stuck in the sole and when I get back on pavement I sound like a tap dancer, and I have to stop and remove all the rocks. No bueno. Also I really, really dislike the ... MoreI only run in Hoka. I'm I huge fan and have a few thousand miles in running different models.

Little Rock's get stuck in the sole and when I get back on pavement I sound like a tap dancer, and I have to stop and remove all the rocks. No bueno. Also I really, really dislike the tongue. It's completely un-padded and very short. This matters because regardless of your method of tying the shoe if you like them snug, you WILL feel the knot on your skin. This might sound trivial but if all you notice is the knot on your ankle and resort to extra thick socks, that's no bueno. Lastly, I love shoes and my goal is not to see how many miles I can get out of them before they disintegrate. Before falling in love with the Hoka ride, I wore ASICS, Nike, and Brooks. I typically got 300 miles on a pair and maybe could have squeezed out a few more miles. I'm on my 12th pair of Hokas and average 200 miles. I've taken them to 240 miles and it was not pretty. I reorder at 180-200 miles. This is costly. I think they're worth the money. At least you don't need to worry about breaking them in; I can go right from the box to a 1/2 marathon. Hoka: if you're listening.... please change the tongue 👅
I really like this shoe. I switched to these Hokas from the NB 1080 because I developed hallux limitus on both feet and the carbon plate helps protect the big toe joint. Running comfortably again. Great neutral cushioning. Laces can feel tight at top of the very minimalist tongue. Durability is ok but not awesome.
I was thoroughly surprised to get this offer for the Hoka running shoe and best of all was that the only size you offered was my size 8D. I couldn't believe it. Prior to this, I had seen some Nike tennis shoes that I really liked but could not find my size anywhere. I was exstatic to receive your offer. I love the look and feel of these shoes and look forward to making more purchases from you in the future. Thanks!!!!
I really like this shoe. It's the third pair that I have purchased. I have arthritis in my toes and this is a great shoe for running for people like me. The rocker sole reduces the pressure on my toe joints more than any other shoe I've run in. It's light weight and the cushioning is excellent. If I have a complaint it's that the fabric at the heal of the shoe seems to wear out fairly quickly. This has happened with all three pairs that I've purchased.
I've had the Bondi X for a few weeks and generally run between 6-15km per run 3 times a week. I consider myself a casual runner (for the past 12 years), generally fit and in my mid 40's. In addition, I have previously used the Bondi Clifton (500km plus) so I can now compare the two. I found the Clifton extremely spongy and soft and after running beyond 15km's, I get pains on the outer side of my knee area in which I couldn't figure out why until a friend suggested that perhaps my shoes did not give enough stability. I didn't have this problem with the Bondi X and the only reason I can put it on is that the carbon plate is likely stabilizing my ground contact and hence my knees are not suffering. On short fast running days, I feel the shoe becoming responsive (not as ... MoreI've had the Bondi X for a few weeks and generally run between 6-15km per run 3 times a week.

On short fast running days, I feel the shoe becoming responsive (not as responsive as the Clifton) as I change my running style but I feel the Bondi X at best for long distance (12km plus). The biggest negative about this shoe is that terrible tongue - its very short and I have to often stop and pull them back up. On long runs, it the tongue goes under the laces and its very annoying. Other than that it's a good neutral shoe that offers a bit of stability.
I have spent a lifetime, dealing with Plantar fasciitis and heard rave reviews about Hoka shoes. More specifically, the Bondi, so I had to try these. I have medium to low arches. These shoes feel like they are made for someone with a much higher arch, because I felt like I was standing with a ball under my arches. Sure, it takes the weight off your heel and reduces the heel pain that you experience with plantar fasciitis, but EVERYTHING on my feet were so achy after just a few hours of wear, I had to take these back. Also, style wise, if you have a larger foot like me (I wear a Men's 13), these shoes will make your feet look enormous. They claim these are light weight??? Not really. They feel heavier than my Brooks and On Cloud sneakers, which I find both to be more ... MoreI have spent a lifetime, dealing with Plantar fasciitis and heard rave reviews about Hoka shoes.

This is NOT a Bondi with an X. The lack of padding around the ankle caused sharp pain on the outside of my ankle. The waaay too short and too thin tongue made using the last eye hole impossible. The too bright and garish color scheme prevent them from being an option for work. Hoka, please try again and put the "X" sole into the Bondi. Fleet Feet were awesome to work with in store and online. I will definitely continue using them in the future. I'll still buy the regular Bondi which is the bomb for work and play.
