Expensive but worth the money!

5/5

Overall

This shoe is expensive, but who can put a price on staying healthy? I’ve been training in Hokas for years and the Bondi X is my favorite. The cushioning is fantastic, but not so much that you feel like you’re sinking into the shoe. Thanks to the carbon plate, you get great responsiveness from these shoes. My only complaint is that I wish the rubber sole held up a bit longer. Overall, this is a fantastic shoe and I highly recommend it!
