Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Best shoes I've ever owned. Now have a 2nd pair. Walked all over Prague and Budapest for two weeks in complete comfort. Only wish there were more color choices in my size!

I work at a home improvement store and walk on a concrete floor all day. I was having knee and hip issues. I've tried many brands of shoes over my 27 year career. A co-worker recommended Hoka shoes. She said they relieved her sciatica pain. I purchased my first pair of Hoka Bondi 8 shoes and I am very pleased. No more knee or hip pain!! These shoes are fantastic and I highly recommend them.

My podiatrist told me "Hoka shoes are the best shoes out there" and demonstrated their design which provides torsional rigidity, heel counter rigidity, and flexion stability. I immediately bought a pair and my feet are happy that I did.

I run or walk three - five miles a day in my Hokas. They are comfortable and provide great support for my feet and ankles. I recommend them to everyone I know.

The title says it all. I am on my feet all day at my job, constantly on the move, standing, including walking up and down stairs. I'm also over 50, so my feet aren't as tough as they were at 25. This is the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever worn. I should note I have 5 pairs of HOKA shoes. Put another way, all of them are as, or more comfortable than any other brand, but the Bondi is the most plush. One could certainly run in these, but if you are a runner I would try the Clifton or Mach before this, or Speedgoat or Challenger if running on trails. I'd recommend the Anacapa or Kaha if hiking, as they have more suited soles.

3rd pair, love these shoes for my walks every day and wearing all day, I won't wear any other brand. My wife has 5 pair of the Clifton 9's. We are a Hoka family!

As a Coach and Educator, I am on my feet for over 12 hours a day. The Bondi keeps me on my feet without wearing down my strength and lasting over a year without tearing up my budget.

Reduces the irritation resulting from walking on concrete and other hard surfaces. Most comfortable shoe I have ever owned

Long time Hoka user but had to send Bondi 8 back. Left shoe felt great but right one never felt good. Seemed like maybe made too narrow. Very disappointed

I exchanged a pair of Arahi 6 for Bondi 8's because of some durability issues. The Hoka service team and process was top notch and made the exchange simple and fast. So far I am loving the comfort and stability with Bondi 8. They are 1oz heavier but hard to tell the difference. Time will tell how durable Bondi and if it will remain my go to shoe.

The shoes have comfortable soles with lots of cushion. I have big feet. 15EE kind of big. I ordered and received 15EE, but these shoes seem small. The shoe does not appear to be built for larger feet. The toe box is too small and makes my toes feel squished together - long walks become uncomfortable.

The These shoes are the ultimate in look, comfort, and functionality. I wish I had the means to purchase more of this shoe so I could wear a different pair occasionally.

love the Bondi 8. Remain totally frustrated, however, that the extra wide version has only one truly colorful option. The white and black models look like orthopedic shoes for the infirm. Free the XW world from boring colors. I've bought the lone colorful version several times. Can you please introduce new colors?

Bought first pair when taking grandkids to Disney snd Universl Studios. Could walk all day. So now bought second pair to wear on our 44 year anniversary trip to Greece and Rome! Need to be comfortable all day!

I work out 5-6 days per week. I lift heavy and run heavy. After 4 months of use, I developed a heel blister on a run. I'm 5'7" 200 lbs of lean California beef. Lifting heavy is my therapy. I imagine im not a graceful runner and asking a lot of my shoe. I still love these shoes for the comfort. Im not sure how they can address the heel blister. For now I'll just add bandages to my foot for runs.

There is only 1 pair of shoes that are extra wide

Bondi 8 are my favorite! Actually I have loved them all. First time I bought 2 pairs the same. One for working out and one to be cute in.

Wanted to love these. Look great, but once on, they have no perceivable foot cushioning. They are advertised as "Plush" but they feel like a standard, off the shelf insole and are very hard. The Gaviota for comparison also says "plush" and it is exceptionally comfortable and padded and stays that way all day. I am in healthcare and stand for 12+ and the Bondi were awful. Feet hurt within an hour and just got worse. Love the Hoka opportunity to wear and return though. The Gaviota are perfection all day long.

I use them as a walking shoe. I usually walk between 35 and 40 miles per week.

Started to get a little plantar fasciitis and needed more arch support for my work shoes. I'm a nurse, so I'm on my feet a great deal during my shift. Didn't get these for running, but for lots of walking during the day. Got rid of my foot pain within a week and my lower legs don't feel as worn out at the end of the day like before. Thanks for a great shoe, Hoka!

This is my second pair of Bondi 8s. They are the most comfortable shoes I have owned. They are stable and the cushion is superb. I wear them almost everyday.

My podiatrist told me to ditch my old running shoe brand and buy HOKAs. I had neither heard about nor seen them about EVER. Now, I would buy nothing else. I wish more styles came in extra-wide. I pretty much can only buy Bondi.

I'm a medical device rep- in my feet a lot in the OR. These are the best shoes! Super comfy and offer wide foot sizes

Very narrow shoe or I would give it 5 stars
