I purchased a pair of Hoka Bondi 8 for my son middle school aged after falling absolutely in love with mine. He was rarely able to find a sneaker that fit in all the right places and allowed him to live his active life without pain. These shoes are just as amazing for him as they have been for me. He loves how they feel, their support, and he loves that he no longer has pain. These shoes are amazing!

These shoes felt great right out of the box. I went on a run shortly after I got them and they're amazing. I've heard that the shoe has more of a narrow fit, but for me that wasn't the case. I DO have more of a narrow foot, but if you have a wider foot then I would recommend sizing up half a size or buying the wider width. Nonetheless I would recommend to a friend. These were great!

My Hoka's were everything I had hoped for and more. They are very comfortable and have provided me with much relief from prior pains in my feet, ankles and knees. A good friend recommended them to me and they are everything that I had hoped for and more. Now I will just have to see how they do for me over time?

I am a mechanic at a Major distribution facility. The shoes I purchased, I wear my shoes daily doing my job. I'm on my feet practically 8 hrs a day, walking, repairing machines or assisting other workers. I tried various types of shoes and constantly buying shoes inserts to feel comfortable only to have sore feet and hip/back problems. After purchasing my HOKAS, I'm in heaven! It feels so comfortable in which it ELIMINATED my sore feet, hips and back pain. As long as I will be working here, I will continue to purchase HOKAS!! Very, Very comfortable.

Love my Hoka 8 shoes! Like walking and running on clouds! Size 13 wide are a perfect fit for my big feet!
So comfortable I exercise over 3 hours watching football on TV!

HOKA Bondi 8 is so much more comfortable than the Giovata 4 The wide width made this shoe all the more comfortable Thank you

This is my eighth pair of Hokas, all are true to fit and comfort, but I wish they would go back to bondi 6, nothing has fit as comfortable as that shoe yet, I would have bought all the colors .

Great, looking and very comfortable shoe, however, it was a half size at the least smaller than I needed. I wear a woman's 11.5 or 12 and got a men's 11 but I should have ordered a men's 12. Next time I will get a men's 12.

I have a pair of Bondi 7 that I bought which were an absolute perfect fit. So I bought the Bondi 8 after reading reviews. Doesn't fit as well. Had I not tossed out the box I would have returned them. So I'm wearing them when just sitting around the office versus the 7's I wear when travelling for work and walking thru airports. I notice the nose of the shoe, where the toes are, the fabric isn't taut like the Bondi 7.

These are the most comfortable sneakers that my husband has ever worn, so he says. He has many years experience with athletic shoes since he was a PE major back in the 70s.

Just like the old models! Perfect running shoe. the last model batch I got from the warehouse didn't seem to fit right; it seemed too bulky and heavy. This is back to the former design where it's lighter, strong, offers support without being clunky.

Arch support begins to disappear, at end of life.. yea so now you know time to buy another pair, for me the cushioning was perfect for pair of worn out feet, as was the size. note multiple medical conditions including some swelling in feet as well as a normal age related spreading of feet but the important thing its has kept me active , moving and wearing them out. not used for running but for extensive, frequent, and long hiking mostly on pavement.

i love these shoes. They took a day or two to become accustomed to them because of their thick cushioning, but the cushion is exactly what I (and my knees) need! I added a set of flourescent orange laces that I think are perfect because of their contrast with the black shoes. My only problem with them is the lining in one of the shoes has come loose near the heel. I really didn't expect that to happen.

The shoes are life changing. I love them but there is a problem. About a month ago the right sole developed a loud squeak with every step.

What a life changer wearing these shoes! I thought my having to take an occasional day break from running was due to my fitness and overworked feet. These shoes give my feet the exact cushion and comfort I need to continue my runs, even on days when I'm not 100%. Also, I'm a female who bought this men's shoe because I loved the bold colors. Received compliments from guys on how beautiful the shoe looks. Only suggestion to Hoka is to please make more bold color styles for women

They don’t make this shoe in a Woman’s size 13, so I ordered a Men’s size 12 and it fits well and is very comfortable.
