HOKA ONE ONE Bondi X

Features

Everyone’s favorite maximally cushioned road shoe just got a performance upgrade. HOKA took the Bondi 7 and added a carbon fiber plate to the midsole to create the Bondi X.

Designed to go the distance, the HOKA ONE ONE Bondi X has a tall stack height of soft cushioning that feels great on tired legs. Now spring-loaded with a carbon fiber plate, the Bondi X feels smoother than ever and provides a more efficient, propulsive ride.

During long runs where you want to pick up the pace, the carbon plate adds stability and a firmer toe-off so you can press on the gas. When you’re tired, the 5mm drop and early-stage meta rocker rolls your foot forward for a quick, easy turnover.

Built for comfort and performance, the lightweight upper is breathable and durable for hundreds of miles, and the padded heel collar prevents any rubbing or blisters. Reviewers said “The thin tongue has a suede-like feel, so it’s really comfortable against my skin.”

Overall, the Bondi X improves on an already awesome cruiser of a shoe that’s ready to go when you want to pick up the pace. Check out our video review on the new Bondi X.

What's New + -

Like the Bondi 7, the Bondi X delivers HOKA’s signature max-cushioned silhouette and smooth ride. Meant to be a performance upgrade, HOKA added a carbon fiber plate in the midsole of the Bondi X for better efficiency and energy return with each stride.

Who It's Best For + -

HOKA designed the Bondi X to make carbon fiber plate technology accessible for all athletes, not just competitive runners. This shoe is made for runners and walkers who like a tall stack height of soft cushion beneath their feet. Great for easy days or long runs when you want to pick up the pace, the addition of a carbon fiber plate gives the Bondi some firmness and stability that results in a more propulsive ride.

Why You'll Love It + -

The HOKA ONE ONE Bondi X takes everything you love about the Bondi and gives it a speed upgrade. While this isn’t the fastest or lightest shoe, it more than makes up for it with amazing cushioning and a fun, responsive ride. A lightweight and accommodating toe box fits a variety of foot shapes and the extended rocker in the heel gives any runner a boost of acceleration when you need it.

Hoka Bondi X

Love these shoes! Cushiony feeling of Bondi with a sleeker body. I’m glad I sized down though- seem to run a little larger than my other Hokas. Only reason for a 4.5. Other than that, great shoe!

Plush with bounce

A little loose but overall plush with a bounce. I like it better than Bondi as it feels lighter.
