* '''Flexibility'''. The Bondi is quite flexible for shoe of this thickness.
* '''Outsole'''. The Bondi has a variety of materials on the outsole. There is some exposed midsole, some slightly more durable foam, and some durable rubber. While this helps balance durability with the weight it does create some uneven wear over the life of the shoe.
* '''Shape'''. The Bondi has the typical Hoka shape, which includes a horribly constricted toe box. The toe box is so bad that I've noticed a distinctive pattern of blisters it courses when I'm working blister repair at aid stations. I believe it is critical to [[Shoe DissectionModifications| cut open the toe box of any Hokas]].
* '''Upper'''. The upper varies a little with the different models and versions of the Bondi, but they all tend to be multilayered and complex. There is good padding around the ankle opening.
* '''Tongue'''. The Bondi has a classic tongue rather than a tongue-less sock style of upper. The tongue has good padding.
