This is the Bondi 2, a Hoka shoe designed for road running, but capable of much more. Let me first start by saying that I was a HUGE skeptic going into these reviews. I had always looked at Hokas as a joke and never took them seriously. I could never get over the way they looked or the idea that MORE cushioning was better. But when I reached out to Hoka, I wanted to be proved wrong. I wanted to see what all of the fuss was about. They were eager to show me the light. This particular Hoka - the ugliest in the bunch in my opinion - actually performed better than I anticipated and has become my favorite Hoka yet. The extremely cushioned, supple midsole material, combined with the minimal outsole and tread design make for a wonderful road / trail hybrid shoe. The lighter upper, the rockered soal, the intriguing sale price all combine to make this shoe a top pick for any runner's arsenal of shoes. The idea of maximal cushioning is simple: provide the most amount of comfort for the longest amount of time. While I have seen many MANY people run extreme distances in this shoe, I will say that my foot does begin to feel fatigue during the long hauls. Regardless, if I want to forget about what my feet are doing, I will continue to use this shoe as my go-to drop-bag shoe for all future races when I need to swap into something more comfortable. I don't mention it much in the review, but I do have a hard time on extreme technical terrain and steep ascents in this shoe. This is when a more minimal, or "normal", shoe seems more appropriate. But the way you are able to bomb down hills of any type in this shoe are unparalleled and one of the most fantastic feelings a runner can have. If you can get over the aesthetics, I highly recommend trying a pair of Hoka One One shoes on. They will impress you and who knows, maybe you'll call yourself a convert too!
