​

Hoka One One (stylized as HOKA) is an athletic shoe company that originated in Annecy, France that gained attention by producing athletic shoes with oversized outsoles, dubbed "maximalist" due to extra cushion; this characteristic confers a superior level of comfort, and stability, and enhanced forward motion that has resulted in a great popularity among walkers, runners and individuals that stand in their feet for an extended period.

 

HOKA bases its shoe technology on three pillars: 

​

1. Propulsion: Curved soles called Meta-Rockers for forward propulsion.  

2. Cushioned Midsole: Acting as a high-performance shock absorber without the weight 

3. Rearfoot and Midfoot Active Foot Frame: Providing superior support in the heel and mid-forefoot 

 

Hoka Bondi is an ultra-cushioned game-changer. Most people describe the experience as walking on the clouds, which is worth the extra bucks. There are no questions; these shoes offer a superior experience. Due to its structure, Hoka Bondi serves the dual purpose of walking and running. 

 

HOKA Bondi counts with APMA acceptance. The American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance recognizes products that have been found beneficial to foot health. To earn the Seal, each product is reviewed by a group of APMA podiatrists to ensure it promotes foot health. 

 

These shoes offer neutral support, ideal for those feet without significant pronation (angled inwards) or supination (angled outwards). This characteristic makes them noticeably light, as they do not have the materials to provide extra support in the midsole required on pronated or supinated feet. 

 

I recommend these shoes for the following: 

​

• Use for walking, road running, cross training, or gym. 

• People that stand all day on their feet 

• Aligned or slightly pronated feet 

• Ladies looking for a highly responsive run and a soft, secure, and light fit. 

• People with plantar fasciitis, hammer toes, bunion- Achilles tendonitis etc.

​

Customer segments include:

• Anyone that wants to have a beautiful, high-quality, trendy shoe​

• Moms, middle age and grandmoms require bounce and extra comfort, and stability

• Nurses, retail, and service workers

• Athletes and performance trainers

​​

HOKA Bondi grabs your foot well, giving excellent stability and the needed structure for a secure step. It is one of the best sellers of HOKA companies and is one of the best athletic shoes in the market.  HOKA also has other product lines that are equally amazing, such as Clifton and Arahi, but if you are looking for extra cushioning with high arch support. Hoka Bondi is the one for you.

 

The HOKA Bondi series comes in a wide variety of colors and designs.
