If it wasn't for shoes like the Hoka Bondi 7 , at 65 years old and running since 1979 , I would be "done" . Never needed the extra cushion and stability when I was younger , but definitely need it now or I suffer for it. Where younger runners are talking about PRs , race day , tempo runs , recovery runs , threshold runs and all that jazz, my goal is to make it 5 miles without cardiac arrhythmia , cardiac arrest and more common avoiding plantar fasciitis . How's that for a PR .

Great comment

@@afs1476 I knew that was gonna pop up eventually. The person I said that too ended up deleting their comment...lol
I'm no runner. I'm a very tall, fat guy but I own the Clifton 8's for everyday walking and errands. Seriously the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I don't know if these shoes are made for big people or not but I've always found so much comfort in Hoka and NB. Fantastic shoes
Same build as you. I am not a runner at all, but I need comfortable shoes for working all day on my feet. Just ordered a pair of Clifton 8's yesterday - can't wait for them to arrive!
Hoka one one is a French company but the name is Maori (Polynesian language native to New Zealand). I only know this because I live here and they make it quite clear in their advertising.
They are under the Deckers Outdoor Corp. umbrella along with UGG, TEVA, and Sanuk also!
@@Mojavehixon they are now but were originally a French company who set up the brand and name
Hoka One One means to fly in Maori. That is why their slogan is Time to fly.
@@nevilleharding2351 oh radical! had no idea.
"If you don't want to feel anything, this is your prozac"😂 Hoka should adopt that phrase.
Made me lol too 🤣🤣
What a helpful video this still is. Even though it's about 7 months old, it still gave me the information I needed to help make a decision for me. Thanks for going through all these. Hoka makes so many athletic shoes, it's hard to keep them all straight!
I’m a Bodybuilder, 5’9’’ 265, I was having problems with leg pain, after 40 years of training hard and heavy 5 days a week, I could not do any cardio or even a short walks….my Doctor recommended compression shocks and HOKA tennis shoes….I choose Bondi 7….I’m now doing 30 to 40 minutes of cardio after weight training….AMAZING SHOES…I still have some problem but it’s 90% better then before…I use to only wear Jordans, now I only wear HOKA.
Feel so bad for the dude on the right....always getting interrupted 😬
There are more reasons to feel bad for Robbe.
@@Believeintherun so cruel 😂😂😂
@@Believeintherun 🤣🤣🤣
The guy with glasses is sometimes talking over or seems to quickly ignore what Robbie is saying. Robbie is much more polite and listens to and politely acknowledges what the glasses guy has to say.
I ended up going with the Mach 4s, absolutely loved them. After about 220 miles, I've burned through part of the first outer layer of foam on one shoe. Wish they would have lasted a little longer, but still tempted to get the same pair!
I love Bondi 6 , I have 4 pairs of them , I am walking and on my feet for 8 hours 4 days in a week as a health care worker I love the cusioning really support my flat feet and my bunion, and BONDI 6 is really really light like walking in the clouds because of the lightness and a very good quality. l Iove it I will not change my bondi, I will buy the same shoes again and again.
Bondi is game changer for someone with knee issues. I always had sore knees following runs until I got the Bondi 6 and then Bondi 7. I wish they were lighter, but it's so nice not having knee pain.
thanx for recommending, i'm also facing knee issues especially after intense day. so i have to take a day off. will give it a try to bondi
Clifton fan. Thinking of moving to Mach 4 & CX2. Thanks for the input BITR.
Greatest combo since the whopper and fries.
I have about 320 miles on my Bondi 7s and absolutely love them! I also have a pair of Mach 4s that I used for a marathon, have about 60 miles on them and like them as well.
If you liked the Clifton 6 and 7 you are going to love the Clifton 8, the sole gives better support and the upper is stronger and holds your foot better.
i have a question, in hoka 42 2/3=27cm mean my foot must be 27cm or below ,i want buy it for walk not running
Just got fitted into my first pair of Hokas. I’ve ran primarily in Newton Kismets for several years and this is the first time someone recommended the hokas to me. I always saw them at the running store, can’t wait for the first run later today. Hoka One One Arahi.
"If you just don't want to feel anything, this is your Prozac." That line alone is why I'm choosing the Bondi for my first Hoka shoe! Thanks. Great video!
Fav running shoe vid..I’ve had three hokas..mach 4 my fave, carbon x2 great for racing, rincon 3 I loved BUT wore too easily.
Great video summarising the HOKA brand. Just what I wanted! Thank you. 😃 I’d love to see you doing more such videos on the other famous brands like Brooks, Nike, Adidas, Saucony, ASICS etc.
I bought the Brooks Ghost I walk on concrete floors all day and have high arches with heel pain Achilles pain and shin splints and they hurt my feet.. I'm looking into getting a pair of Hoka. Good luck 🤞
Quick note. Amazon has a program with prime membership that you can try before you buy. Lots of different choices in shoes..
Can’t wait to try the Mach.
A billion years ago both Nike and ASICS used to have dedicated "walking" shoes but stopped making them. After a billion years of trying different types of shoes I discovered the Bondi 6. I haven't tried the 7 yet because I still have a brand new 6 stached in the closet (it's gold Jerry...It's gold).
The 7 outdoes the 6 by Miles. Awesome shoes! The 8's are out now. Not as tremendous as the 7, but still a great shoe, but I agree, the 6 are pretty terrific as well!.
Great review guys! Thanks for your amazing work! I'm hoping to see similar review, but for Hoka's trail running shoes as well :)
The dual foam on the Mach 4 makes me think of what ASICS did with the GlideRide. Can’t wait for March 2021! 🏃
Glideride or bondi8 which one offers more of a rocker style to keep the pressure off the big toes?
When I heard about the 200 lbs... I knew I was sold.
What 200lbs
@@mmsculley958 when he was talking about the bondi 7s he said they are great for people that weigh over 200lbs and flatten the midsole over time
@@lyel9781 what do you mean by flatten ping the midsole, is that bad?
Have a love hate relationship with my Clifton 6s. So comfy and responsive yet just don't get that much support and tend to always get blisters with them. Not had that problem with other shoes.
I had Clifton 6 but went to Bondi because there’s less forefoot cushioning in the Clifton 6 than the Clifton 4 I used to use.
I use the Bondi for long runs on pavement to save the legs; the Rincoln for tempo days or basically whenever; Torrent for trails.
Great lineup
I wear the Bondi. What is the difference between Bondi and Rincon?
@@slundgr the Rincoln is much lighter and definitely does not have the stack height as the Bondi does. I use the Bondi for long runs and even daily runs when I’m just taking it easy, as it offers more cushion to preserve the joints. I use the Rincoln on my other daily runs when I’m pushing the pace or doing progressive/tempo runs. Thankfully I’ve not had any major injuries, knee or otherwise, but want to remain that way. For me, I try to use the Bondi as much as possible, when on pavement, in hopes of being able to run for all the years to come. Btw, the Rincoln does offer considerable cushioning for as light as it is and I’ve never experienced any issues with them. Simply put, I love them both and will always have them in my rotation. 😃
@@tmoney3198 Thank you very much for the information. I don't run anymore after two ankle surgeries, but I walk every day, often on sidewalks, so I think I will stick with the Bondi. It's light enough for me and has worked for me so far. I like to know what options might be available. Thanks again.
Rinsed a pair of new balance 1080v1s almost did my knees in.
Now running in Rincon 2 and they have been brilliant. Love the higher rake of the shoe, really helps propel you forward and the lightness is amazing.
The Speedgoat is my favorite trail shoe. I currently own 4 versions of that shoe (4, 4GTX, 4GTX high and EVO).
Hell yeah
I work retail and I wear the Gaviota 4. I have flat feet and don't wear insoles, so the stability of the Gaviota is very welcome for me because it is a stability shoe. If I were to wear arch-support insoles or custom orthotics I would definitely opt for the Bondi 8 (specifically the goblin-blue-colored one).
Thanks for this comment Frederic. I have extremely flat feet and some Hoka models I have tried have too much arch support for me. My speedgoats have been life changing for hiking so I'm trying to figure out what the non-trail equivalent is.
@@milesbrown6948 I would say the Clifton with some arch support insoles would work best if you have tried either of them already. Both the Clifton and the Speedgoat have neutral stability and a balanced cushion. I say arch support insoles because the midsole is uniform in density, there is no medial arch support to prevent overpronation.
It almost surprises me that the Speedgoats worked for you considering it had neutral stability (meaning the entire midsole is the same). My best guess would simply be that since the speedgoats are meant for hiking/trail running, you're really only using them for softer trails and not concrete. Hiking trails are--in general--easier on your feet and I imagine that is also making a difference for you.
But it's really important to take what I say with a grain of salt. Everyone's feet are different and I'm not an orthopedic doctor. I just sell shoes for a living, which only started recently.
Great round up! Also really loving the podcast. It would be great if you could do more than one per week. I’d like one for every run.
Scott Fauble this week!
I never thought of getting a shoe specifically for recovery runs, but that kind of sounds dope to get a prozac shoe 😂
Just did my first run in these. Very pleased. At 200lbs, these were a joy. Think I have a new brand.
Which ones did you run in ?
Today I ordered the Bondi 6 on clearance. I now have a full Hoka rotation for my needs. I have the Mach 4, Clifton 7, and the Challenger ATR 6.
What do you think on the mach 4 for intervals on treadmill workout ?
Even in 1/2023, this was really helpful to me trying to decide which show to get. Thank you 🙏🏽
Love Hokas
I enjoy the Challenger
But Bondi and many others have helped me train up to some Ultra runs
They are just such great shoes
👍👍👍
A Clifton6 runner. Enjoyed the cush on it, and it helped me reached my 1st ever HM distance.
Despite it already reached 1155km, im holding back from getting C7 as i want to try Mach4 (4months to go >_>)
I was late to the Hoka party, the Clifton 6 was my first and is easily my favourite running shoe of all time. I tried the Rincon on the promise of it being like the Clifton but lighter but not for me, still a good shoe though. Have recently got a pair of the new Rocket X, first impressions are really good but haven’t done any serious miles in them yet to be able to say what sort of runs I will use them for.
Great vid, guys. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge ❤️
The Hoka One One (whereby the 1 1 is not French! - The shoes are named after the Maori language phrase loosely meaning "fly over the earth") for me is without a doubt the Evo Speedgoat.
Followed by the Rincon and the Bondi. Saving up for the Carbon X II.
Love the summary review of the whole line. Can you please do that with other brands (Nike, brooks, new balance, etc)?
We definitely plan on doing more. Thanks for watching!
As a bodybuilder and runner, I’m interested in the Bondi. I have tried some Hoka’s but really haven’t enjoyed the ride as much as some of the NB lineup, or even the Skechers I’ve tried. Thanks for the reviews!
Same boat Brotha which ones did you get?
@@Familyandmuscle I got the Carbon x2 and the Rincon’s. The X2’s feel okay sometimes on faster runs, but the Rincon’s feel like they’re made with lead 😂
I’ve owned Hoka waterproof & Sneakers for over 7 years! Expensive but, your feet and back will love you!
Rincon 2 & Clifton Edge soles wear very quickly
Bondi sole last lot lot longer...
What's really comfortable, I think most & best cushioned Hoka is the Stinson Atr 6. It's an all terrain / trail shoe, is lot heavier than any of the shoes reviewed as these are specifically designed for road.....
Jim Walmsley just broke American Record for 100k in Carbon x 2 & was only 11 seconds off World Record for 100k...
Good review...
Thanks for sharing...
Stinson is more cushioned than the Bondi? Best Hokas I’ve ever bought were the Stinson Mid-Gore Tex. I use them in the snow and they’re great.

Stinson ATR 6 not only has larger stack height than any of the other Hoka's, but the cushion / plush in the Stinson ATR 6 is insane...
I'd highly recommend getting a pair from Hoka & you'll have at least 60 days ( confirm with Hoka because even they say 30 days guarantee, it's usually 60 days, so confirm )...
Road Runner Sports can get up to 90 days...
Then you can go out and try & test them in every possible environment you'll ever use them in...
There is no such thing as a best shoe for everyone...
But I have possibly over 15 new Hoka's, & couple Brooks & New Balance shoes sitting in boxes waiting to be used & eventually rotated in...
I also like Clifton Edge & Rincon 2 & Bondi's & Cliftons & Mafates & so many more...
What are you looking for: trail ( technical, mild, all terrain: road & trail ), road, walking, hiking, racing, everyday casual, all day on feet, 3k, 5k, 10k, half marathon, full marathon, ultra: 50 miles, 60 miles, 100+ miles...

Thanks for sharing too...
You're Welcome...
Best of Success...
I love the Bondi, it was recommended to me by my podiatrist
Thanks to this video now I know which HOKA to buy, of course the Bondi
I bought myself 1 pair of Hoka Bondi 8 totally Black, and I feel like I just bought me a Rolls-Royce, I love it.
The Clifton 7 are awesome
i really really really appreciate the honesty
Simple and straight foreward. Love it
Such a good review!!! Best review channel there is. Thank you so much, you have decided on my next shoe... or 2 haha
I have the Rincon 2, love it. Run off road a little bit in it too. At 57kg, there’s zero chance that midsole isn’t lasting me ☺️
Misery heal pain. At 66 this shoe saved my foot! Best shoe I’ve ever bought!!
"Bondi...if you don't want to feel anything, this is your Prozac"😂. Well said lmao
Dear God. Let the guy on the right finish 1 bloody sentence.
This is the best sneaker channel of all the sneaker channels. 🌟
Love you guys! Man crush. You make me laugh while you inform me about various running shoes. Been looking to get some great cushion shoes. Just found the Hoka Clifton 7 for $129.99. Gotta try a pair.
“If you don’t wanna feel anything then this is your Prozac” lol
Love the video guys... Any chance you could do a similar lineup breakdown for New Balance?
We'll have one coming in the new year
@@Believeintherun love it, thank you! All the best
Just tried the Mach 4 and went for a 10miles run today...what a shoe!!
But now it’s triggering me to break the bank getting the carbon x2 🤣🤣
Great video guys 👊🏼
So many good shoes out right now.
How did the Mach 4 hold up for you? Did you try the carbon x2? I’ve only ever had Cliftons then arahi
Full Mach’s for the Mach 4. Wish Hoka would release it sooner!
They had GOAT and speedgoat right there for the dovetail!
Swing and a miss
You guys were very helpful thank you
Definitely Clifton 8. Plus plenty of rotation with Saucony Endorphin Speed. Both put together is an excellent recipe of haute cuisine.
Loving this in depth review of their line, I bought three pair of the Clifton 6 and had the same opinion of the Bondi. Excited about the profly things, specifically the new Mach.
Hoka One One is based on a Māori language phrase meaning "fly over the earth".
I was confused why they said it was French for something. It’s not French sounding at all!
My brother tried an anti-microbial shoe insole called PodoPhylus. It works! No more smelly feet!
Any reviews on the ARAHI 4?
Just bought the Clifton 7 - I don't like them compared to the 6. They are narrower, and the heel counter is very stiff and uncomfortable compared to the 6. The cushioning is more firm also it seems compared to the 6.
Same here, I was shocked Hoka made such a huge change for the same name shoe, not a Clifton for me. Hoka lost a fan.
My new idea these in slides sandals
"full hoka lineup"
I think yall meant "neutral hoka road running lineup"
Hi. I just subscribed! I only run in HOKA! They're great for my middle-aged knees!😁 This was a great review!
such a useful thorough review thank you!
I started with an early Clifton and switched to Rincon. Compared to Rincon, Clifton felt slow and clunky. Maybe I'll try the Rocket for racing. I am 5'11" about 152 pounds and just turned 75 years old. My 5 k time is around 25:00, about 9 and a half minutes slower than when I was 18 years old.
Great review guys. How about reviewing Hoks`s trail options?
Our trail crew is in the west. We’d have to fly them out. 🤔
Thanks guy, pretty good chanel. Just started running 5-6 months ago and already running between 170-220 KM per month. So excited about this sport and about to get my first pair of Hokas. Thinking of the Mach 4 or Clifton 7 for every day. Heard that Rincon 2 doesn’t last that long. What do you think?
Either of those shoes would work great. Mach 4 for sure.
For a walker (who wants to feel stable) with a really wide, rounder forefoot, narrow heel, painful neuromas, metatarsal problem - which Hoka (or another shoe, like the new NB Form coming out) would you recommend? I'm a neutral runner, female, who has to wear Men's shoes because they come in wider sizes (except the size I truly need is a 7.5, 4E because of a custom orthortic...except maybe due to low drop I might be able to eliminate and go down to 2E. Unfortunately, the Bondi starts at size 8). I used to wear the Brooks Ghost but the forefoot of the 13 turns into a flat tire by the end of the day (a new version is coming out in July. Have you reviewed it?). The front is designed perfectly for my foot shape (Altra not). Sadly the new version of the Glycerin only comes in 2E, which feels great, but is too narrow on the sides....Help.
Love the video! Where does the Torrent 2 fall under, is it the Mach 4 for trail?
Probably the closest comparison, yes.
Great video guys. Been looking to move to hoka
Hoka Bondi is recommended by podiatrists for patients with plantar fasciitis and people who land flat footed too much - good options
Which would be your favorite for a runner with collapsed arches.
I own the Clifton 7’s currently and am training for a half marathon. Started getting pain in the plantar fascia once I started adding tempo runs in.
I LOVE my X 2's. Am planning to run Manchester Marathon in them 😎
The amount of times Thomas interrupts Robby is comical. Might as well do the show by yourself
Bondi is my favorite. It used to be the Clifton but the Clifton 6 has less forefoot cushioning than the Clifton 4 so I went to Bondi.
Small thing but I like to have a black tread. Car tire would be nice. If HOKA could put that under a Rocket or Carbon X....
I spend a lot of time on my feet competing playing pool. 8-10-13hr days sometimes. The 3 I had leaned towards were the Clifton Edge, The Mach 4 and Elevon 2. The Elevon 2 has the cleanest all black design, but design wise for the size of my feet I feel like the edge might be best. Any recommendations or suggestions of other brands you'd recommend for my needs? Hoka seems to be highly recommended in my community
im not sure what to do with my hands - Ricky Bobby
What Hoka would you recommend for a middle-aged guy, 170 pounds, heel striker, prone to injury?
If youre a heel striker try a hoka with a bubble butt
@@brushogun2051 bubble butts are nice, thank you
Probably gaviota or arahi. Both are stability models. Gaviota is max cushion like the bondi, arahi is medium cushion like the clifton. Stability shoes are good for those prone to injury, though not always the only option. The bondi and bondi x have the most cushion in the heel for heel strikers.
NZ crew checking in. Just to make sure we are on the same page with the name you mentioned. Nothing to do with French - it is named after a New Zealand Maori phrase meaning "to fly". You are welcome.
Sit your ass down kid. That was already explained by another commenter before you. Your welcome.
Carbon X2 vs Rocket X. Which is a better racer/speed shoe for taller/heavier runners? Anything from 5k to marathon….
Love Robbe's take back at 9 mins ;)
😂😂
I’m a nurse and I like the Clifton 7 for 12 hour shifts but I feel like the bottom of the shoe rocks too much and makes my legs
Sore. I’m looking into getting another pair to alternate. Do you suggest the Bondi 7 or March 4?
I wish they would answer this question 🙋♂️
I agree Cindy
Same
Why did Hoka throw the Mach 4 out for reviews so many months before it's release? They're a big tease
HOKA doesn't have embargoes on shoes (which we love). We have a ton of other shoes from other brands that we're not allowed to show until January.
@@Believeintherun Now you're the big tease 😱 Looking forward to the review
I change Rider, Cumulus to Boston and finally Rincon. And actually, it’s the best shoes ever buyed 👍
The elevons are very good shoes for an elderly guy like me who is seeking good leg protection in runs and does not care about speed thatmuch
They look comfortable, looking forward to buy it 😍
I like good cushioning on my heels but also don’t want the shoe to tip over on the balls of the feet; so I want good support on the ball too. What Hoka shoe would be good for me? Gaviota?
I think the Bondi is their most cushioned shoe. The Clifton has less cushioning in the forefoot. I used to wear Clifton but now I wear Bondi because of their cushioning
@@slundgr thank you.
I have tried the carbon x and I love it.
Nice review, but you missed the stability and mostly the trail shoes.
The Hoka Trail video will be seperate, otherwise we would have 15 pairs of shoes up there.
Fab review boyz !! TY..
Feel like I'm going to be returning the ons i just ordered for one of these😅 really like how the arahis look
“This is your Prozac” 😂😂😂
Gotta try out the running shoes for guys like me who hit the 220lb mark. I have been looking for something comfortable for my jogging experience. I have a few different Ultra boost 19 through 21. I find that the 21s so far have been ok after I put around 75miles on them. My 19s were all good until they hit the 800mile mark.
I am 130 kg, and a walker. You may try Bondi 8. Bondi 8 is giving great stability, lighter than Bondi 5, and continue to have breatheability on the upper.
Oya, another good for big guy like us is Arahi series. I tried the Arahi 6, but improvement on Bondi 8 is serious, so I purchased Bondi 8 2 months ago.
