The most cushioned shoe in the HOKA road-shoe lineup, the new version of the brand’s iconic Bondi delivers a smooth, balanced ride over any distance. Engineered with the same full EVA midsole, breathable mesh upper and signature Meta-Rocker technology as its predecessor, the Bondi 7 is updated with a supremely plush collar. Made from ultra-soft memory foam designed to accommodate a narrower heel, the collar conforms to a wide variety of ankles, cradling the Achilles in cushy comfort.

Footnote:
Cushioned footwear can offer a softer ride which can be gentle on your legs, knees, hips and back but it isn’t a replacement for good running form. No amount of cushioning will save your body from landing on your heel, so be sure to look at your running gait, feel into your form and find a healthy cadence that allows for injury free running.
