Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I'm a 76 YO male who bought my first Bondi after being disappointed in my MBT rocker shoes many years ago. I have walked 4-8 miles and used to get pain in my shins. The various Bondi models give me pain free walking. I wear a 12.5 wide and have been unimpressed with the past dull color choices for most of the models, but then Hoka came out with the Puffin's Bill / Amber Yellow model which looked fun to me. I have lost track of how many compliments I get on them. They are the only shoes I have ever gotten compliments on! I bought an extra pair in case Hoka discontinues the color. Thanks, Hoka!!!

Used for walking/ everyday wear.

Awesome shoes. I see NBC Indycar announcer Kevin Lee wearing them at all the races. I finally asked him about them and he highly recommended them and he's a guy on his feet all day.

This is by far the best tennis shoe I have ever purchased. Very comfortable and supportive. I will never buy another tennis shoe then the Bondi 8 HOKA

I bought the Bondi 8 because I read that it is one of the most comfortable sneakers available and it's true. I'm not a runner. I wear them for walking and casual wear. I definitely recommend the Bondi *

Been wearing for a week, I rotate between shoes, hoping it's the break-in period. Very expensive shoes, hopefully I made the right choice

I am 64 years old. I grew up as a shoe salesman/owner of my own store. I have tried several shoes and I must say these are fantastic. So light weight but yet very supportive. I would recommend them to anyone.

As a wide footed, life long NB wearer, a friend recommended I try the Hoka Bondi 7. I liked the weight & cushioning of the shoe, but the toe box was too narrow, and they were returned. After reading Bondi 8 reviews it appeared the toe box was expanded in this latest model, so I decided to give them another try. Got my new pair of 8's and they fit and feel great! CAVEAT: Hope more bigfoots buy the x-wide model so more colors are available than just black & grey.

This is my husband's 3rd pair of Bondi sneakers. He really likes them! He was surprised and excited to receive a new pair of Hokas as a birthday gift.

They are the right size but they make my son's feet hurt. Like they are to tight across the toe area! He wore them one day and tried the next day but had to change because his feet were hurting so bad! Now I can't send them back because he wore them 1day!!

The feel from taking a few walks before running in them for the first time, was like my four Bondi 7's, all excellent. Now my "running" is really going 3.25 miles in just under 30 minutes. I never go more than 3.6 miles at one time. Still, they support well, are light, kind to my feet, ankles, and knees, all wins for me. This is why I go back again and again. I only changed to Bondi 8 because the 7's seem to be fazing out. (I found out last year when visiting Sydney AU, that Bondi is a Long Beach near Sydney!)

Shoes are very comfortable!!! Most of all, I have/had Planter Faciatis and these shoes have helped tremendously. I bought 2 pairs and may never buy anything different in the future!!! Buy HOKA!!!

Very disappointed

Not only are the black shoes I ordered more navy blue, but they are more narrow than a previous pair I had.

I discovered Hoka's in the last year. My foot pain is gone! The stability and comfort these sneakers provide are unbelievable. Best thing since sliced bread in the sneaker world.

These are like walking on clouds. I use them as work shoes since im on my feet 10 hours a day and its a breeze with these. NOW, it took me 3 try to find a pair that fit me well. I would say they are true to size lenght wise. I never have been a ''wide'' foot in another brand and i have pretty normal foot i would say but regular is definitly too narrow. If you never had any problem with generic 1 width size shoes before i would suggest taking the wide version as a first step. I got the 10.5 first then 11both were too narrow and the 11 was too long so i took the wide version and the 10.5 and its a perfect fit. Go get them now!

No pain now from my hallux limitus. Thanks!

The change they made from the Bondi 7 to the 8 just does not work for me. I even tried the men's and it did not matter. My right foot felt like it was over lapping the bottom cushion. I loved the Bondi 7 and will keep trying if they change the Bondi 8. For now I wear a different Hoka.

Wore these shoes everyday for 4 Months in Pert, Chile and Argentina. Most days were 20,000 steps or more. They held up great and my feet were happy. Would definitely recommend.

My best shoe!!! Very comfy and great support !! I am a marathoner and very satisfied !!

I have owned at least 10 pairs of Hokas in the past few years. I have NEVER purchased a wide fitting shoe in my life. I took the plunge and was shocked at how much more comfortable the wide fit is over the regular width. I was always concerned that if I wore a wide shoe my heel would slip. No problem at all and no heel slippage.

The inside heel wears out way too fast. The heel wears and a whole is created far before the actual sneaker tread wears out. I walk 10 miles a day and find this incredibly annoying. You need to perfect a better solution for this problem

These shoes plus feetures socks make my day very comfortable. My foot Dr recommended a local store and the Hoka Bondi's were as awesome as he said. The "best for" part of this won't let me select more than 1...everyday comfort, walking, medical workers, recovery, and professional use for sure (I have a black all leather pair as required by my job).
