User Reviews
I'm standing or walking all day long. These shoes fit perfectly. I have plenty of room for my toes. Great heel support. They feel a little bit softer than the rubber mats they have for people to stand on. After one day my feet already feel better. I'm not sure good these would be for running. They are light enough and breathable enough, but they feel a bit clunky. They are noisier than I expected; not quite as loud as a boot or a hard heel, but I can hear myself stomping down the hallways. These shoes are great if you have foot pain from being on your feet all day. They are expensive, but my feet are worth it. I just hope they last a year or two.Update, the fabric on the heel has already torn. I noticed it after a few weeks. Also the insole is a bit high on my left foot. It kind of feels a rock or something on the inside middle of foot.I still wear these shoes because overall my feet feel better at the end of the day. I get home and I feel like I can still stand in my feet. I just not happy with the shoe wearing out so fast the are wearing out. And the arch pain on the left foot just seems a bit strange. At least I can't explain it
The Biondi 7 is the best all around hoka shoe. It has the best cushioning of any shoe I've tried. The Biondi 8 looks like clown shoes (Think Crusty the Clown) due to an oversized outer shell but are still comfortable. That's why I want with the Biondi 7 though. Not sure what I'll do when they stop selling Biondi 7.
Out the box, I slipped them on right away. Just received them today. Walked around the house a few steps. Goodness these things feel amazing! I'll update in a month.I purchase size US men's 8, I'm 5'7" tall, I weigh 160 athletic pounds. Update 4/6/2022: it's been a month. I have been using these shoes for my workout sessions doing Lift 4 from Beach body. The shoes work great on our hardwood floors and yoga mats. I wear them around town and for walks around the parks. They are breathable so when it's cold/ wet outside these are not the shoes to wear. The initial feelings of walking on air quickly dissipates. However, you just get use to it they remain comfy. I seem to like the fit better without socks. They fit more snug with socks however, they are a true to fit size. A thin sock is good, not a thick athletic sock. I just love these shoes. They were a bit much for shoes. I'm not sure they are worth the $160 I paid for them, simply because I never spend more than $60 on shoes and rarely buy shoes unless my shoes are beat down. Haven't bought a sneaker in 6 years. I wear Keen work boots daily as a professional landscaper. I would recommend these shoes although I've only warn them for a month. If they don't last 5 years I will be disappointed but I'm not expecting more than 3 just because they don't look tough enough to rough it out. I go hard in the paint 🤪. Update 7/2 I haven't worn the shoes for a while as I have been wearing flip flops. However, I slipped these back on and OMG they feel brand new, wow, just wow! I really loved these shoes. I'm walking on air again!
I feel like I didnt select the most handsome model of shoe they have but it feels so good on my feet. I highly reccomend these if your feet hurt. I'm going to stick to this brand from now on. They're really good.
I saw several good review about this shoe and I decide give it a try as was my doctor recommended. My experience was just good but for me it was not that comfort as other reviews mentioned. And also I had to buy 2 extra sizes from my regular size as it running small
Well the only thing I dislike is the price. They are not cheap but nothing good is. You get what you pay for! I have tried several different shoes as I'm on my feet all day and I'm diabetic and I've done construction all my life. My feet hurt even after wearing these shoes but nowhere near the amount I have been dealing with for years. I've tried all the popular expensive names and they don't compare so I own four pairs of this brand with different patterns etc. One for the lawn that I don't care about, one per work, one for walking trails, and this last pair are real nice to wear out and if you're walking through the mall for a while or something you're going to be glad you had these on! Obviously highly recommended
I wanted to use the shoes for light jogging but they feel apart.Totally UNACCEPTABLE!!The Tread on the souls of the shoes fell off. I returned them only to get a $12.98 return.
