I'm really digging the almost no drop with that insane midsole...it gives me a good roll to keep me from putting on the heel brakes with every step..

I just ordered another pair for me plus a pair for my friend.  Expensive shoes, but cheaper than knee surgery.

I paid $140 total for both the hokas and the brooks glycerin. Sierra Trading Post.  I could not care less that they are last year's model.

Once i realized the Bondi 3s did NOT work for me, I went on a big search to find the last pair of 2s in my size. I found them on ebay and paid a pretty penny. Was worth every penny cause it gave me 4 more months to find a replacement.

Did you put your 3s on eBay?

No, nor did DH. I was just curious since you bought some on eBay.  DH has an 11.

I found them on eBay, called the store that was selling them and actually bought right from them, saved them a bunch of fees. It was a running store in ME.

I love Glycerins.  I generally don't mind buying the older models (unless new model is a fab color, like my current shoes) because they all seem to work for me.

The bondi arrived. I like them, but will remove the quick lock laces. The second insole is for people with narrower feet.  You just use both insoles.  I did it.
Also like the Brooks glycerin.

My Hoka order came yesterday.  My friend needed to pull out the fat inserts that came installed and use the skinny ones.  Mine fit best with the fat ones.  I hated the quick laces at first, but wouldn't give them up for anything now.  Once you get them adjusted properly, there's no comparison with old school laces.

I have the quick laces on a pair of Salomon trail shoes. I am not a fan of those, either. I am inclined to get rid of them on the Bondi, since there are regular laces in the box. I think I would be more inclined to keep the quick laces if they had used the higher eyelets. I think, as it is, I would have to cut the quick lace anyway in order to use those eyelets.

My feet are so narrow i have to remove the quick laces, because they hang over the front end of the shoe. The 4s did not come with them.

I love the quick laces...after tightening, I push them through the to elastic straps that they put over the laces and back up one...they're totally out of the way...much more so than tied laces...
