Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Used as my daily shoe when I don't need to dress up for work. The cushion and "bounce" are amazing but there is a tightness despite getting the widest available option (4E) - I have other 4E widths that do not have the same discomfort.

I wish the insoles were better and not paper thin.

These are everyday; anywhere shoes. I'm retired.

I'm 79 and walk two miles a day, 4-5 days a week. I have a wide foot and always bought New Balance until I was introduced to Hoka. These are the best.

This is my second pair of Bondi . I bought a pair of Bondi 7 in Florida. Just ordered Bondi 8. I had to order because I need X-Wide and stores locally don't stock them. I do wish you would offer more color selection for X-Wide. You might also offer X-Wide in some other styles.

I have neuropathy, so I have been searching for a good pair of walking shoes and I have found them with this pair from Hoya They are so comfortable with a lot of cushioning which really helps me for my long walks. I would definitely buy these shoes again.

I have mileaged out several pairs of Bondi 7s and were very happy with them. I ordered a pair of Bondi 8s to replace my latest pair of 7s, and ordered the same size and regular width, same as all of my previous pairs I had been happy with. My first run with the 8s didn't start out well, I picked up a large rock in the tread gaps in the arch/heal area, then shortly thereafter a stick, while road running. I had to stop to pick those out of the sole, as it through the landing stride off. I felt jamming in the toe area of the shoe and ended up getting blisters. These shoes, in the same size and width as my Bondi 7s, felt much narrower, and too small length wise. I exchanged them for a half size up, as well as a wide pair. I have never worn a wide shoe in my life. I just got back from a break in run with the Bondi 8s in the half size up and wide, and they felt much better. So other than picking up rocks and sticks, which is annoying but can be dealt with, these are comfortable running shoes. Just be aware that you may need to size up and check the width.

I just had neck surgery and part of my PT is walking. Boy do I love these shoes.

You need more Men's shoes in a 4-E width and in better colors than just the boring black and gray

Shoe feels too spongy. Not good for problem fet.

I wear a size 15 and they were a bit tight across the toe box so I have use shoe stretchers over a couple evenings. Feel much better now.

I purchased my first ever pair of HOKA's last month. I'm not sold on them. For the high amount of money, I thought the comfort and support would be so much better. They are comfortable at first when I put them on but as the day goes along and the longer I wear them, my ankles and feet start to hurt. For the price, my Brooks are a lot more comfortable. I even did research on this pair and the jury is still out.9

More and more people I know have them and everyone loves them! Even with the high expectations, so far these shoes haven't disappointed. Very comfortable and they look good too.

About tha EXPECTATIONS, GREAT .

It would be a five if I hadn't had to buy better quality insoles

I like the shoes. The previous model was better. Any chance you have any left? The Bondi 7 was a better shoe for me. I've had at least 15 pairs of Hoka. Great shoes, just wish I could get the 7.

I used the Bondi 8 for walking in the neighborhood. I've had knee replacement surgery and back surgery, and I needed a shoe that absorbs impact. They are working well, and I've recommended Hoka to my friends. I absolutely need the extra-wide fit. Without that extra width I wouldn't be able to purchase this shoe. My only complaint (why I rated with 4 stars) is Hoka donates to far-left organizations that divide Americans with hate. That is awful.

Very comfortable to walk in.

My soles were splitting and falling apart after a one hour trip to the grocery store. I had to return them. Very disappointing.

This is my 4th pair of Bondi's. Older models had a problem with squeaking when I walked, but these are great. All are super comfortable with the padding I need for my metatarsalgia. Along with stretching and an insert that I use, I've gotten back to running and I'm very grateful!

Right out of the box they are comfortable and no break in is necessary. I have talked my sister and her husband into buying some as well and as I explained to them they are my new favorite shoes for summer and who knows maybe the fall as well!

I bought these on the recent of a friend with six foot issues, so far she good

Used for mainly comfort in walking. Diabetic feet and can hurt to walk. Very comfortable and great colors. Only complaint is the inside arch is too stiff and can sometimes hurt but after walking for a bit it seems to subside

Nice shoes although not as comfortable as the other pair I have.
