How it ranks
The HOKA Bondi 5 sits about average for daily trainers in our data. Cushioning and comfort are its strongest sub-ratings. Looks scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 19 runner reviews and 6 other rated shoes in the Bondi product line.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

“Heavier, doesn't have the same soft feel, terrible foot turnover”
“Heel starts to wear around 150 miles”
“Exceedingly comfortable for long distance”
