Features

Everyone’s favorite maximally cushioned road shoe just got a performance upgrade. HOKA took the Bondi 7 and added a carbon fiber plate to the midsole to create the Bondi X.

Designed to go the distance, the HOKA Bondi X has a tall stack height of soft cushioning that feels great on tired legs. Now spring-loaded with a carbon fiber plate, the Bondi X feels smoother than ever and provides a more efficient, propulsive ride.

During long runs where you want to pick up the pace, the carbon plate adds stability and a firmer toe-off so you can press on the gas. When you’re tired, the 5mm drop and early-stage meta rocker rolls your foot forward for a quick, easy turnover.

Built for comfort and performance, the lightweight upper is breathable and durable for hundreds of miles, and the padded heel collar prevents any rubbing or blisters. Reviewers said “The thin tongue has a suede-like feel, so it’s really comfortable against my skin.”

Overall, the Bondi X improves on an already awesome cruiser of a shoe that’s ready to go when you want to pick up the pace. Check out our video review on the new Bondi X.

What's New

Like the Bondi 7, the Bondi X delivers HOKA’s signature max-cushioned silhouette and smooth ride. Meant to be a performance upgrade, HOKA added a carbon fiber plate in the midsole of the Bondi X for better efficiency and energy return with each stride.

Who It's Best For

HOKA designed the Bondi X to make carbon fiber plate technology accessible for all athletes, not just competitive runners. This shoe is made for runners and walkers who like a tall stack height of soft cushion beneath their feet. Great for easy days or long runs when you want to pick up the pace, the addition of a carbon fiber plate gives the Bondi some firmness and stability that results in a more propulsive ride.

Why You'll Love It

The HOKA ONE ONE Bondi X takes everything you love about the Bondi and gives it a speed upgrade. While this isn’t the fastest or lightest shoe, it more than makes up for it with amazing cushioning and a fun, responsive ride. A lightweight and accommodating toe box fits a variety of foot shapes and the extended rocker in the heel gives any runner a boost of acceleration when you need it.

Shoes Too Big

Faith B 11 months ago Verified Purchase

My feet do not hurt but the shoes are too big. My heels slip up and down. I couldn’t run or go back to my Zumba class in these bulky large shoes!

Bondi X

tsp 1 year ago Verified Purchase

Best Bondi I've tried. Retired runner but still work out 6 days a week and love these shoes. Cushion is the best! Great for knees and comfortable for feet (2 knee surgeries/2 foot surgeries). I wear a 10 normally but 9 1/2 with these shoes. My other Bondi's have been true to size. I wear the X for gym cardio short runs :) long trail hikes and everything else. Wish I could wear them to work everyday! More expensive than other HOKAs but worth it!

Hoka Bondi X

Allison M 2 years ago Verified Purchase

Love these shoes! Cushiony feeling of Bondi with a sleeker body. I’m glad I sized down though- seem to run a little larger than my other Hokas. Only reason for a 4.5. Other than that great shoe!

Plush with bounce

A little loose but overall plush with a bounce. I like it better than Bondi as it feels lighter.
