Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I bought these and the Bondi 7 and liked them both, after a couple weeks of wearing I ended up choosing the Bondi 8 as they were slightly more comfortable and looked better. Then I liked them so much I ordered a 2nd pair some weeks later So what's not to like? After about 6 weeks of wear (walking 2-3 miles/day, nothing strenuous at my age) the shoes already lost a lot of their support and got very spongey. In comparison to the newer pair I could really feel how they were wearing out quickly. I looked at the treads and saw they were completely worn down in many spots. I am somewhat large at 6'4' and 200lbs but have never worn out a pair of shoes in 6 weeks before, even years back when I used to jog. I returned the first pair as it was within the 60 day period, will see how the 2nd pair do I still need one more pair and am not sure if I should get another Bondi 8 or wait and see if a new one comes out (I did order a pair in a different color and when they arrived they felt nothing like the other shoes of the same model so that tells me quality control is lacking) Other notes - I don't have a wide foot but needed a wide in both Bondi 7 and 8. My older Hokas are all regular width and still fit just fine. Also I don't like the tongue on either the Bondi 7 or 8, too padded and too long

These shoes are working great in all of my daily activities. Would like the loop at the heel a little larger to help pull shoes on

A few years ago my podiatrist, who regularly runs in50 mile races, recommended Hoka to me. I have been a fan ever since. I now alternate my Cliftons with my Bondis. Both are excellent, but this senior runner needs max cushion, so the Bondis win by a nose.

I bought this shoe for slow easy runs and walking. I will say I prefer the Clifton 9 for the runs, but this shoe is perfect for recovery walks or just normal everyday wear especially if you know you will be out all day with the family. So comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

The Bondi 8's were recommended to me and i fought the price tag for a bit. But they are worth every dollar. I love them. Very comfortable

fit on this shoe feels just a bit big for my foot. But I love the colors and hope to get use to the fit. After all, I'm a Hoka-holic!

It has max cushion and trust me don't judge on the first day and give it few days and then u wl start to feel the difference. It has lesser heel to toe drop around 4mm which is more ideal for balanced complete foot landing and ideal to avoid back pain and that's the keep for people with back pains. If u have back pain, need lot of cushion and stable foot landing and do moderate physical activities like playing and running or even walking then just go for it.

It is an easy shoe to slip on right out of the box, offering immediate comfort. The upper is luxuriously padded, with no shortage of cushioning and everything is crafted to prioritize comfort. I started to walk more in these shoes than running.

Thought I would upgrade to the Bondi. Loved my Clifton 7s so much I would have married them, but I'm already married. Tried on two pair. Both left me feeling like I was supinating and the inserts didn't fit well. Ended up with the Skyflow. It's ok, still only four stars compared to my Clifton's at a 5 star

I ordered men's size 9 1/2 in outer space blue, with a teal bottom. There were no dark colors available in women's ( I would have worn an 11). I am very pleased with my new pair. The width and length are great. Made me realize how worn out my old pair was, when the new ones had so much more bounce in the sole.

The best shoe for power walking

I have used these as my work shoe for years! I work in medicine and an sometimes in procedures for hours wearing a heavy lead apron, and foot and knee pain is almost exclusively a things of the past! Try them for yourself!

I've ordered many Hokas in my time. I currently have about six pair including hiking boots. Had to send these back because they felt uncomfortable in my right shoe. Bought the skyward X and I love them $55 more money though.

A little too narrow on the sides at the arch and presses inward while walking. I like the style as it is similar shape as the Gaviota 5 that fits right, so I went with another pair in all black.

My running times have gotten faster, my feet are comfortable, and the quality of the sneaker has actually improved. Glad I bought them.

The most comfortable and supportive show for walking.

Not as comfortable as the Gaviota or Challenger. They seem to tight even though I bought the wides .

Shoe is a "large" in the toe box, , it is a D width, I ordered a regular, not real happy so far with the shoes, time will tell. I called and was told the shoe only comes in 2 sizes in the toe box D and a large. Is this true?

I purchased a pair of shoes on 6/24/2024. Warranty issue with the shoe material ripping away from the sole. Website is very slow and hard to navigate.

After ordering my first pair in women's, I couldn't find any additional colors in my side. So, I went to the men's department and found exactly what I wanted. I love the color choices and have found the Bondi 8 in either men's or women's to be extremely comfortable with a wide toe box. My niece, a busy mom and RN, also wears and loves her Bondi 8. She is on her feet a great deal and thoroughly enjoys her shoes as much as I do!!

Most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever had.

These shoes are really comfortable so comfortable I bought 2 more pairs my foot pain has left!

Needed to upgrade my footwear, so read reviews, and chose Bondii 8. Regular fitting fit perfectly- i do have narrow feet-very comfortable, and suportive.

Love my pair I ordered for a max cushion, comfortable shoe. The size is true to size and feel amazing. I run 4-5 times a week. This shoe is my favorite recovery day running shoe. Or just to wear going out to the park with my kids.
