Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

bought these for work spend 8 hours a day on concrete floors most comfortable shoe out there

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

Without a doubt, the Hoka brand shoe is one of the most prevalent, and bestselling shoe on the market today hands down. If I am on a plane, the people sitting next to me are wearing Hoka brand shoes. I visit my doctor, and he is wearing the Hoka brand shoe. Where-ever I go, I see people wearing nothing but the Hoka brand shoes. Plenty of support, stability, great fit, with no break in required. I wore mine all over Italy during my trip to the ancient city of Pompeii. If only they wore Hoka's they might have been able to escape Mount Vesuvius in time. Hoka shoes a revolution in quality is finally here.

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.

Fit is awesome, comfort is absolutely the best and the support is great. I walk a lot and lately I've had knee pain, but walked 7 hours and no knee pain. I'm so happy

I am a Saucony and Brooks wearer both are excellent shoes so I am comparing Hoka to them. As of now I am not impressed (wore them for 3 days) they feel very different on my feet. They are not as comfortable and feel like the other 2. The Hoka cost twice as much also. I do not believe I will be purchasing Hoka again. On the positive they are a good looking shoe....

Coworkers have raved about these, but it's taken a while for me to get on the bandwagon for such an expense. HOWEVER, now that I have, I can tell you that it was totally worth it. I now make it to the end of the day with so much more energy. I'm happy to put these on every morning.

Looked so tall I was afraid it wouldn't be stable enough for me but it is very stable. I have callouses on one foot that are painful and it's pretty comfortable even with them.

Hoka running shoes are just great by Hoka shipping is outstanding. fast delivery.

These shoes are so comfortable. I love him and soon. I want to buy another pair just a different color as soon as I can afford Em.

I don't like tge way they are made these days. The first pair i had had the open sole design and were super cushioned. Not so much any more.

I started my walking regimen to keep my 68 year old body in check. I found out from our friends who are RunDisney runners, that Hoka puts out the best running shoe for their event. With my recent purchase of these shoes, I was impressed with the fit and comfort and less fatigue in walking.

I had worn ONON Cloudmonster previously and was unhappy about the sound and the lack of stability. When I bought the Gaviota, I was very impressed with the cushioning and amazing stability compared to the ONON Cloudmonster. When the Biondi 8 was on sale (the Biondi 9 was now out), I bought the Biondi 8. Biondi 8 seems to have a little less cushioning and stability than the Gaviota, especially on my left shoe, where the left shoe tends to ankle turn out for me. I like the Biondi 8, but Hoka's Gaviota is my favorite shoe now for walking, traveling, etc...

I like hoka

I was looking forward for these and was let down! The toebox was a bit snug in the toe box which made it feel like my toes were squeezed. Maybe a wider size would have worked but wasn't available. Also had an issue with a supposedly simple return and have to wait almost a month to get it resolved!!

These shoes reduce the stress on my knees and back. I walk 3-5 miles a day and these are the only shoes I wear for exercise and daily activity.

Been wearing this brand for years because of plantar fasciitis and spurs. Highly recommended them to members of my unit. Some of them got it. Awesome. Others stuck with other brands. Problems. These are worth every dollar.

This is my second pair-- I used to have a lot of ankle pain. My doctor recommended I buy the Hoka Bondi 8, and since I've been wearing these, it's been a constant improvement. I even walked a 5K (and one first place in my age division)!
