Changes

The [http://www.zappos.com/hoka-one-one-bondi Bondi is ] was my favorite of the [[Hoka Shoe Review| Hoka range]]until the [[Hoka Clifton]] was produced, with a nicely cushioned ride, though . I generally prefer the [[Altra Olympus]], because it's shaped for the human foot. 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 . The Bondi has best a reasonable balance of soft cushioning and reasonable weight in , but has been surpassed by the Hoka rangeClifton. In fact, running with a Clifton on one foot and a Bondi on the other proved to me how close the two shoes feel. 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.

* '''Lacing'''. The Bondi Speed and Bondi 3 have a "speed lacing" system that uses in laces and a locking system, but in the shoes include traditional round laces as well. I generally prefer the traditional laces as it can be tricky to get the tension right with the "speed lacing" system.Like many shoes in the Hoka range, there are elastic straps that pull the sides together even if the laces are loose. (I always cut these elastic straps off.)

The [[Altra Olympus]] is a competitor for the BondiHoka range, and I believe it represents a much better shoe. The Olympus has a slightly thicker sole, a toe box shaped for the human foot, and zero drop.
