This is a maximalist shoe made for runners looking for a soft ride. It’s made specifically for long runs and recovery runs, as well as building up the mileage. Heel Gaviota benefit from Bondi 7 the most. It’s made for roads, but also works on well-maintained trails.

Bondi 7 vs. Bondi 6: pricey minor improvement
If your feet weren’t locked in or had hotspots in the Bondi 6, the 7th is a good update. Other than that, stick to your Bondi 6, especially if you find a great deal.
Two major improvements of the Bondi 7 are heel lock and breathability. Other than that, it’s about nuances and aesthetics. Here’s what's new in the 7:

A look at the Hoka One One Clifton Edge | What got worse
- Midsole softness depends on the climate
HOKA Stinson ATR 6 Chaussures en Dune Taille 49 1 3
If you live in a colder climate, the midsole will not be as soft as advertised. This is because the performance of midsole foam depends on the weather and gets softer in warmer climates. Learn more in our research Hoka Challenger ATR 6 por 86.
In warm temperatures, the shoe has a plush pillowy feel but when exposed to sold, it becomes quite rigid and firm.
Heel and foot lock that deserve a medal
The Memory foam collar around the heel is the winner.
It got nothing but praise from us: the padding molds to our foot, adds more security and a truly personalized feel. It feels amazingly cozy around the ankle.
With Bondi 7 it’s not just about heel lock. The shoe provides a stunning lock for the whole foot, thanks to the new upper and overall design. Secure foot in a maximalist shoe = Bondi 7.

This is a maximalist shoe A look at the Hoka One One Clifton Edge the Hoka shoe to get if you’re into maximal comfort, maximal cushioning, and soft rides.
Snug forefoot
If you have medium-volume feet, you might find the forefoot of this shoe to be snug. The toebox fits a little narrow.
If this worries you, consider the wide or extra wide option of the Bondi 7.
Wide feet, catch a break
This is the first Hoka shoe that comes in 3 hoka one one clifton 3 mens: regular, wide, and extra-wide. For women, there are 2 options. Note that not all colors are available in all width options.
Feels big and heavy
Comfort comes with a price and this Hoka shoe turns out to be one of the heaviest high-mileage trainers on the market.

A look at the Hoka One One Clifton Edge!
Hoka’s signature Meta-Rocker supports the heel-to-toe movement and in Bondi 7 it literally rolls you through transitions. In other common shoes, this rolling is replaced with a distinctive flexing movement.
Not durable
The best way to describe the Bondi's durability is that it is average or acceptable. The exposed midsole on the midfoot with no rubber elements shows wear early on and we don't expect the blown rubber to last long (400-500 miles).
But it’s a compromise: the shoe does offer a soft ride.

The new engineered mesh upper receives a bit more structure now with thin overlay strips around the midfoot at the toebox. This update enhances the fit and doesn’t let the upper collapse in on itself.
In addition, Hoka found a way to make the Bondi 7 more breathable than the 6.

This shoe is heavy and high-stacked. Although the cushioning is consistent throughout the entire shoe, when landing on the forefoot you get to feel all the weight. Running becomes difficult. This Hoka shoe is for heel Gaviota only.

Hoka’s Bondi 7 has a wide base that even widens top-down which adds stability. And it feels stable, especially when the stack height is taken into account.
Pricey shoe for recovery runs
Given that you can’t do fartlek or speed workouts in this shoe, its price tag is definitely high. It might make sense if you’re only into easy/long runs.
