The Rundown The ultra-cushioned game-changer. The most cushioned HOKA road shoe available, the Bondi 7 delivers a smooth and balanced ride. Engineered with the same full EVA midsole, breathable mesh upper and signature Meta-Rocker technology as its predecessor, the Bondi 8.5 is updated with a plush collar designed to accommodate a narrower heel - and conform to a wide variety of ankles.
