These shoes came highly recommended to me.

are they working for you?

I’ve been wearing as they come but I do have inserts that I’ve forgotten I have!

🙏

love them!

she still has to walk everyday while she works on it.

thank you but yes my pain is very minimal based upon what shoe I wear. My healing came from wearing the boot and rubbing castor oil under my foot each night. But because i am active in going and walking this shoe is working wonders for daily routine.

She states the problem but didn't give us an answer for footwear.🫤

that’s great, and I hope it continues helping forever, but it won’t. You don’t keep wearing the cast and the sling after your broken arm has healed. If you don’t strengthen your foot, the injury will resurface. Ask me how I know.

I understand and will continue to work on that. You’re telling me right.

Not everything fits in one reel. But here you go 😊 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DF6OiX0yGZo/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

one reel cannot encompass everything. I have tried twice to add a link that actually answers your question, but for some reason it doesn’t show. If you go to her IG account, look for a reel published on 2/10. You’re welcome!!

the bondi 9 where I got them were 170 I think. I had a 10$ coupon from my pt

, thank you very much, have a restful, healthy, less pain week🤘

And even the customers were raving about them in the store!

Clifton or Hindi

yes!

bondi 9 Someone posted link above.

I agree with you.

mine too!

Altra shoes awesome

I agree. However, my altras wear down so quickly!!! 3-4 months, although daily wash and walk/runs might impact this? I still think they should last at least 6 months for the price?

yesssss

so are you saying that the relief was only temporary in them and since your feet has adapted, the pain is back?

I’ve only been wearing them since Saturday about 4pm I had them on all weekend at home. Max 7k steps. But today there was pain 2-3 hours in by the end of the day with 12k steps it is just as bad as it was in my shoes I came out of (which were in dire need of replacement) so I guess in a nut shell def temporary.

this makes me wonder if your foot had done any healing prior. I basically was back to walking barefoot in my house, with no pain. I think everyone’s situation is different. Sorry bout that.

it was crazy I went from pain to no pain in the new shoes as soon as I put them on. Then this am pain was back. The pt said it’s cause I went straight into them no back and forth. He said today I should wear the new ones till I feel some pain then switch back to the old ones (which makes no sense to me cause I was in pain in them) for a bit then back to the new ones and do that for about 5 days. Like all of us I just want the pain to go away. I’m currently at the beginning of a 4-6 week pt round. We are doing dry needling as well at some pt appointments. I felt a little better the day after my first dry needling session.

That’s correct; PT is telling you right. Your feet must adjust to the shoes because you still have the pain from the fascia. You have to switch them out. Usually they will give you inserts. Hang in there!

trust, I’m a very peticular and stylish woman. However, when I couldn’t barely get out of bed and was crying and hopping at work, spending hundreds at these podiatrist and therapist and getting shots…I was about to give up! Now, in all honesty It’s whatever works and maintains relief. Not too ugly that I can’t dress it up though. My friends laughed at them but I told them to “keep living, once you hit 50 and start feeling that ole Arthur and every other pain you will understand.” Sorry it’s not your taste.

Oh im 50 and I understand completely .. trust me. I have arthritis too. Just this week I had a breast biopsy waiting for results and I have a hysterectomy coming up so trust me I get it. I wasn’t passing judgment at all. I was just saying it’s not my style and I wish it was something a little more my style. That’s all I was saying 🫶🏼

I know and understand.. prayers on your biopsy and I hope that your hysterectomy goes well. My hysterectomy was the best decision EVER!!! Good luck .

Thank you 🥰and I hear that often! Why?? Lol

me too and like I say in this group…they are not for everyone and it’s ok. It’s just what I’m expressing that I like and it’s success story for me..

my husband bought me these and my son bought me a pair of Brooke's for Christmas I keep wearing these I work at a school and I'm on concert floors for 8 hours a day these are hands down the best shoes. I'm like you if it can help someone else's foot pain these are the shoes that will..

please take care of your plantar fasciitis as well… for your healing to begin.

wow I am sorry.

I’m up to 3 pairs!

I would say it’s somewhat narrow. I have a narrow foot and my feet don’t slide around too much like they do in regular width shoes.

the hoka giavotta has wide toe box. My husband uses it for his diabetic neuropathy

you can order wide shoes and they are very roomy

lady above says this is not the right thing to do…🤔

do you have different ones you wear for runnibg/walking?

and are they true to size? Thank you

they are but it’s best to go in and get your feet measured. With having plantar fasciitis it is recommended you go up one size to keep pressure off your toes, and to prevent a flare up. My foot measurement was 8.1 but I got a size 9. And it is perfect!

no

I’m so sorry; you must find what works for you.

sounds awesome!

wow.

extreme, yes.

and these shoes helped?

I have 3 pairs total Also! The first pair I bought was much thicker sole and make you feel like walking on air. I love all of them!

after this weekend I now have 3!

comfortable and soothing!

yes! Love them.

, they are discontinued and the Bondi 7 and Bondi 9 are both too firm for me. 😭

this is so true.

oh no!! I was gonna buy a bondi 9 because I have flat feet and they really help

, maybe you can ease into them!

if I can find in my size. We have one store that sells them but never have any wide in-stock

, I did an internet search on Hoka's site and in 10 stores around me and on eBay. All new ones are gone. 😩

I have thought of ordering direct but I like to try shoes on first.

really? It’s an awesome shoe. Not saying it’s a cure but it definitely has me feeling no pain!

it’s great if you can go in the store and allow them to fit you into it.

, I bought a Bondi 9 and returned them online. I normally wear 8.5w in the Bondi 8 and ordered the same size in the Bondi 9 and had to get an X wide but they were just too firm for me. I am currently wearing my Bondi 8 most of the day and the Hoka Gaviota for 2 hours a day to try to get back into a firmer shoe. I am also trying to wear the Bondi 7's I have but they all hurt after 2 hours except the Bondi 8's.

I love mine!

, for the last 3 years I could only wear the Bondi 8 without pain. I tried the Bondi 9 and the Giovanni and Bondi 7 but they all hurt. I am currently wearing the Bondi 8 for the bulk of my day and am switching to the firmer ones for 2 hours at a time to try to force strength into my foot. 4 hours was too long. I tried to get another Bondi 8 before they were discontinued but I was too late and my size was sold out everywhere and they want $70 for used ones on eBay that look too worn out. Not good to wear used shoes, anyway. So, I have to find something else or get used to firmer shoes bc my Bondi 8's are wearing out!

close to a year but I started with a thicker heel and now down to this one.

wow I wonder why.

thanks for co-signing this with me! They are awesome .

I’m sorry but I don’t think I was clear. I’ve had plantar fasciitis for about 8-9 months but it’s pretty much gone. Because I’m a sufferer I do not want it to ever come back so these shoes was recommended to me because of that. Also I shared it to say that if you indeed is in pain with it now…you still must wear a shoe that will give you comfort, and these helped me. I started out with a thicker sole Hoka when I was in severe pain for relief as i went to work at the hospital each day, shopping, on trips and everyday life. Of course you still have to find a shoe that is comfortable when walking while having plantar fasciitis. For me, I could NOT wear any other shoe especially NOTHING flat! So when you have to go about daily life you do what works for you. I wasn’t saying these shoes healed me but they sure brought me comfort as I slept in the boot and rubbed castor oil under my foot each night. Since my pain has subsided I graduated to this lower sole Hoka and yes, it works miracles for me. I Will not dare put on the wrong shoes and bring back that pain! I hope you find a solution as well…

God bless you Thank you so much for responding. I totally understand. I have suffered with this so much. I still have not found any relief. I tried hokas and I couldn't even walk in them because I felt like I was going to fall over They were too tall for me. I'm so thankful that you found something that helped you especially when you have to work on your feet all day. It is such a horrible horrible problem and so many people have it. I joined four groups last night to try and find support. I was astounded at how many people have this problem and can't find a permanent healing solution. I'm so glad you found help though because when you're desperate to get out of pain will try whatever will make life easier for you.

have your doctor ordered the boot? I could not barely walk for so long and then I promise that boot done something! I refuse to believe it was just coincidence. And each night i rubbed castor oil under foot and ankles and put a sock on. Ice, pain pills, getting the shot, medicines from the doctor, therapy, exercises or nothing folks told me worked!! Bad shoes or flat shoes made it worse. I think the key was to have that foot in a shoe that will elevate it in an angle, so the sole needed to be higher than the foot. Also I was wasting tons of money going to my doctor. So I found me a foot doctor that specializes in plantar fasciitis. I went to him one visit. God is my witness!

I've never used the boot. I actually ordered one and had a terrible time trying to sleep with it.

great!

I hate you had to go through all of this to find relief but I’m glad you found it! Only thing I can say is please don’t get too overjoyed about relief because I did the same here with this post, and since this post..every now and then here comes the pain again! Flareups happen even after relief.🥲 😞

, yes there is still pain sometimes, but it is so much less! I have been able to walk a few miles daily again with my dog because of the Hoka’s and I am so happy!
