Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Size 11 returned for 11.5 both too narrow. Only buy this shoe in the store where you can try on different sizes.

I have 2 pairs of bondi 6 and 1 gaviota 4, all of which are great. My bondi 8s hurt my arches after an hour or two. Also, they are slightly narrower so that they are uncomfortable, also after an hour or two. If they work for you, they are probably as wonderful as other hokas. These didn't work for me

I used buy another brand and then noticed more people wearing HOKA so I tried them. I will switch back!!

The Bondi 8 is a nice show, much sleeker look. Unfortunately, the "walking on pillows" magic is gone. The 8 has a much stiffer feel in comparison to the 7. Bring back the pillow magic.

Comfortable for my bunions but unusual base adversely affects my back. Did not meet expectations.

I have heel pain caused by Plantar Fasciitis and even though these shoes are a bit too wide they are sturdy and keep my arch in proper alignment so that the pain is well controlled. I wish that they made these in a B width instead of a D width.

I have several pairs of the Bondi model and I wear them for many activities. I also have over15 pairs of Hoka shoes in various models for the various activities I participate in. I even have a pair of Hoka hikers. Hokas are the most comfortable brand of shoes I've ever worn.

I used these shoes for long walks. About an hour or so into walking I notice a rubbing on the side corners of the bottom of my feet. The rubbing seems to be coming from right where the insole meets the side wall of the shoe. I can't use them now.

I have gout so I needed something with good cushion. The shoes are so comfortable that I'm wanting to get some hiking boots to try out this spring.

This product is not the same as when I purchased it in January 2023. My first pair I could walk all day with no pain. This pair does not have the same cushion

I was in a motorcycle accident at 65 years old with my Harley. I wear a brace on my left ankle but with the choice of widths my Bandit 7 and my two Bandi 8s fit me just fine. Very comfortable as well. I see another pair of Bandi 8s in the very near future ( the brace makes my left one wear funny). Great product guys, keep up the good work.

The shoes are light and fit well. The sole is soft and everything is great except the insole has very little arch support.

I have had several compliments on my new way cool shoes.

Best walking shoe ever! Comfortable and motivating. Love this shoe!

I've owned a pair of Hoka Bondi's for the past 7 months. The shoe feels great and I was very happy with them. Unfortunately, the heel fabric on the inner has begun to deteriorate badly. I spoke to an online rep about an exchange but found out that I cannot be helped because I'm a Canadian who bought the shoes at a US store while traveling and returns can only be placed if I bought the shoes online. What started off as a purchase I was very happy with has turned into a very poor experience simply because I live in Canada.

I wear the shoes to work most days. The look great and are like walking on air

The Bondi 8's were offered by sales to replace the desired Clifton 9's that would not fit properly. Bondi style is working OK although early in there life. Stability appears equal to the Clifton's but the side walls are less obtrusive to ankle than the Clifton making the Bondi acceptable.

In the past, the same shoe would break on the side of the foot due to lateral action. Let's hope this pair lasts. I use these for all workouts: running, weight training, walking, crossfit, etc.

Would not buy again got nearly 18 months out out of Bondi 7, six weeks and Bondi 8 had to be replaced even shoe shop I brought from said they should not have worn like they did

I bought these shoes because of foot and hip pain. First time I wore them my feet stopped hurting (plantar fasciitis). After wearing them for a little over a week my hips feel much better every day. Best shoes I have ever had!

I wear this shoe and two other pairs that are the same style but different colors. I have one pair ( my oldest-2 years) for the yard work and Honey-Dos. Another, almost a year old pair is my daily work shoe and as a surgeon and a diabetic, I am always on my feet and always in my shoes. My newest pair, only a week at this point, are for 'going to town.' I live these shoes. They are always comfortable and supportive. They are my favorite shoes and I've not worn anything else since I bought the second pair.

I have chemo-induced neuropathy in my feet so ALWAYS uncomfortable. These shoes feel great and have a lot of room in the toe box area to make them even more comfortable.
