Had a pair of Bondi 7s. Wore them into the ground. Got some Arahi 7s. Never actually liked them. Just tried on a pair of Gaviotas. Terrible on my feet (relative to Hokas lol).

Did a side by side walking test with Bondi on one foot, and Gaviota on the other. Then switched the shoe type on each foot to compare again.

My heel pain for the day went from an 9/10 and hobbling like I (39F) was 110 years old, to maybe a 2/10 with the Bondis. With the Gaviotas, my heel pain was still about a 6/10 and my body felt rickety.

Hands down, the Bondis are the best for my poor feet. I still miss my 7s, but the 9s will do. Thankful I’m able to buy a new pair with my next paycheck.

What’s your fav Hoka shoe and why?
