The Bondi is my favorite of the [[Hoka Shoe Review| Hoka range]], with a nicely cushioned ride, though I generally prefer the [[Altra Olympus]]. I've found that the Original Bondi B, the Bondi 2, Bondi 3 and Bondi Speed are all remarkably similar. I have a slight preference for the Bondi Speed, but the difference is mostly visual. I've run with a Bondi B on one foot and the Bondi Speed on the other without feeling any real difference. The Bondi has a horribly small toe box, but once its cut open the shoe works quite well, and the Bondi has best balance of soft cushioning and reasonable weight in the Hoka range. The Bondi is not available as a trail specific version, but I've found it works pretty well on most trails, though it lacks the lugs for slick, muddy tails.
