Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I bought these shoes and they began to fall apart. I had seen that this is an issue with these shoes and hoka was accepting returns and exchanges so I sent them back. I waited a couple of weeks and when I called they claimed they had lost them in the warehouse and "opened a claim". I was supposed to hear back working 5 days and when I didn't I contacted them. They state the shoes were deliver back to me and the claim was denied for wear and tear. They fabric was falling apart from the same defect many others experienced. HOKA DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR WARRANTY. Now they claimed they shipped them to me and I'm out of luck. Not only did they deny an exchange but they re refusing to refund me on shoes they lost.

I've worn many different brands of athletic shoes over the years. I can honestly say that the HOKA Bondi 8 is without a doubt "the most comfortable shoe" I've ever owned!!! I wear a Size 16 which presents a challenge itself in finding comfortable shoes. I happened across the Bondi 8 and to say that I have been "more than pleased" with my purchase is an understatement! Great fit, very soft comfort combine to give me a great walking experience!!!

Great comfort .

After 4 months and hardly wearing these the cushion under the right heel collapsed. I was told this was not covered under warranty. this is my first and last pair of Hoka shoes.

Felt like the shoes were uneven. Never felt this before; then wore them to break em in, have never had so much sciatica pain. Or ever before. Maybe not for me but running in em wasn't comfy, I wouldn't reccomend this brand

I had my shoes for about 6 months and only wore them a few times. Definitely not daily drivers or even using them for running. I got them because my knees are not the best. The bottom tread popped off while I was walking and it was causing me to trip so I super glued it so I could get home and noticed more of the tread coming off. Keep in mind, I've barely even worn these at all. They supposedly have a year warranty but when I reached out they denied it because of the glue I used. Total rip off. I do not recommend getting any of these shoes. Way too expensive for something that is made this poorly and a terrible warranty policy is the final nail in the coffin.

I have RA and neuropathy iin my feet and these are a very comfortable pair of shoes. You can feel the support areas right from the time you put them on. I would recommend these shoes to anyone with or without foot problems.

These shoes are some of the worst I've ever worn. I heard several people talk about how great these shoes are, but they're wrong. I would give them an okay score for walking short distances, but they are SO bad for standing it is irrelevant. For the first 4000 steps a day, I've consistently felt they were 'breaking in' but after that (11k to 26k more per day) I might as well be wearing rocks. They have caused one of my ankles to be black from bruising from the amount of limping they have caused. For comparison, I've worn boots and dress shoes for longer periods without this much pain. I strongly believe this brand is just another trendy scam and would look elsewhere.

I have three pair of Bondi that fit great and feel great on my feet. I have been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and these Bondi feel better than the custom orthotics I've gotten. I have a pair of gray, solid black, and solid white (the last I wear everyday, the others for semi dressed up). I would love a pair of tan/brown, but when I tried to order one, they did not look good - my wife said they looked girly. I've seen the color(s) I want in other Hoka shoes, but why can't we get that in Bondi? I'm not a young person, so I don't wear the flamboyant colors, especially with shorts.

The shoe paint wears off almost immediately.

Daily wear

Pleased to see the Bondi 8 fit better than previous Bondi 8 that I own.

I changed things up and left my Cliftons for Bondis. My orange creamsicle shoes are nice and light, massive toe box and comfortable. The description claims good cushioning, but I'm not sure if there is a noticeable difference. It could be like having an amplifier that can go up to 11? As for size, I'm one of those people who are stuck between a 12.5 to 13, closer to 13 for a normal shoe. I went to a 14 to avoid losing toenails and my only observation is the shoe is too wide. But that's what you get when you order a 14 and already have narrow feet. Definitely would buy them again.

Once again, Hoka has delivered another solid pair of shoes to my door. The Bondi has become my favorite. I usually wear a 9, but with this model, I go with 9.5.

The color combo is awesome and very comfortable.

I bought a pair of Bondi 8 in color oatmeal that fit like a dream with a more generous toe box. Less than 30 days later I purchased a pair of Bondi 8 in blue and orange color. When they came out of the box they looked noticeably narrower in the toe box, so I measured the width of sole which appeared the same. And yes they were both D width.

Just purchased this pair for indoor treadmil use. I never knew how comfortable plush cushion feels until now. Enjoying running again!! Fit is perfect and love the red.

Use for running. Cushioning is awesome

After shattering my foot I tried Hoka Bondi line and they are only shoe I can walk, jog or run in pain free!

These sneakers do not boast the plush comfort they appear to from the stack height. I was expecting a comfortable, cushioned, cloud like feeling. They do feel sturdy and give a strong base.

When you buy expensive footwear, you'd think the paint on the sneaker soles would last more than a half-dozen wearings. Cheap paint that wears off. Don't paint it in the first place because it looks like h*ll after a few wears.

Just needed something for bumming around on weekends. Fits this mode perfectly

I am a big girl with a big foot - size 12. Always had to shop in men's shoes and it was next to impossible to get shoes that had the support and cushion I needed, in a wide width, that would last more a few months. And forget anything fashionable or cute - they were all black or grey. Period. Then I found HOKA shoes. I started out with the Ora Luxe recovery sandals. Got my first pair in a shop and then found this site and ordered more in COLORS! Loved the fit, the feel and the look! I got my first HOKA 'tennis' shoes a few weeks ago - the Bondi 8 and the Clifton 9 in a local shop and again, LOVED the feel and the fit. So, I came back to this site and found them in LOTS OF COLORS! After years of wearing ugly shoes, I finally found shoes that fit, felt good and made me happy to wear them. I have ordered several pairs in different colors and am so tickled with them. I get compliments on the looks and most important I can wear them all day - walking, working or handling activities- and at the end of the day my feet, knees and hips feel great. I cannot express enough how much I love these products, and you have a customer for life.
