Changes

The Bondi was my favorite of the [[Hoka Shoe Review| Hoka range]] for some time. Then the [[Altra Olympus]], came along, and was a 'better Bondi' because it's shaped for the human foot. After that the [[Hoka Clifton]] came along and produced [[Minimax]] cushioning at a remarkably light weight. I've found that the Original Bondi B, the Bondi 2, 3, 4, and Bondi Speed are all remarkably similar. The Bondi has a horribly small toe box, but once its cut open the shoe works quite well. The Bondi has a reasonable balance of soft cushioning and weight, but has been surpassed by the Clifton. In fact, running with a Clifton on one foot and a Bondi on the other proved to me how close the two shoes feel, except for the weight. 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. I've rated it as "Highly Recommended." {{H:WhatToLookForInShoes}}
