HOKA describes the Bondi 7 as an “ultra-cushioned game-changer” and we couldn’t agree more. They’ve taken an already spectacular shoe and updated it with a plush memory foam collar that’s designed to fit a more narrow heel as well as a wide variety of ankle sizes.

The Bondi 7 retains its predecessor’s signature Meta-Rocker technology, full-length EVA midsole, and breathable open mesh upper. Its supportive, soft cushion all but eliminates impact for a singularly comfortable ride.

We love that this running shoe is vegan and made from recycled materials, plus it comes in a variety of inspiring colorways.
