{{DISPLAYTITLE:Hoka Bondi 4 5 Review}}The Bondi was my favorite of the [[Hoka Shoe Review| Hoka range]] for some time. Then the [[Altra Olympus]]5 is a little heavier than its predecessors, came along, and was a 'better Bondi' because it's shaped for the human footbut sadly not quite as well cushioned. After that I find myself much preferring the [[Hoka Clifton]] came along which is both lighter and produced softer, or even better, the [[MinimaxAltra Escalante]] cushioning at a remarkably light weight. I've found that also find the Original Bondi B, sole of the Bondi 2a little higher than I would like, 3, 4and that stack height does interfere a little with my biomechanics, and Bondi Speed are adds a little more stress to my ankles. Like all remarkably similar. The Bondi has a horribly small toe boxHoka shoes, but once its cut open the shoe works quite well. The Bondi has a reasonable balance shape of soft cushioning and weight, but has been surpassed by the Clifton. In facttoe box is grim, running with a Clifton on one foot and I found that just a few miles in the Bondi on the other proved to caused me how close the two shoes feel, except for the weight. The Bondi is not available as a trail specific versionlot of toe pain, but I've found it works pretty well on most trails, though it lacks cutting the toe box open resolved the lugs for slick, muddy tailsproblem nicely. I've rated it as "Highly Recommended", and that rating may be erring on the side of generosity. I feel that the Bondi has declined while it's competition has risen.
