Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

This is the most comfortable and supportive shoe I have worn. They are worth the price. Your feet are your foundation for healthy posture. My ankle and knee pain is going away with these shoes

The new Bondi8 feels narrower than the seven. Multiple friends have told me the same thing.

My husband loves these shoes. His feet are very wide and he has issues since wearing heavy boots in the Marines. It's all he wants now.

The Bondi 8 definitely needs to be refined. I have a standard D width foot, as measured. The unusually narrow toe-box of the regular D width Bindi's force your pinky toe to curl under and be walked on until the resulting blisters make them completely intolerable. I exchanged the D's for W's only to now have a giant pair of heavy clown shoes. After seven miles in them this morning, I couldn't get home fast enough to take them off and put on my old pair of On's. Please consider making these shoes true to size.

I bought it for my husband as an anniversary and he loves it. He has received a ton of compliments.

Or I got a defective pair. Hardly any cushion, not comfortable like my previous pairs.

I loved the Bondi 7's for the spongy texture that the soles provided as well as the ability to make running feel easier even though I mostly used them for walking and everyday use. The 8 is good but is stiffer in the sole and is nowhere near as spongy in the feel. I have super wide feet and have a problem finding shoes that fit my feet. Hoka has the first shoe that does that and is the most comfortable shoe I've ever had. The one complaint I have is that the heel breaks down exposing a sharp piece of plastic that rubs on the back of my heels and hurts. I learned my lessons with the Bondi 7's about treating tied shoes like slips ons. In the end the 7's lasted over a year before a hole appeared the 8's lasted maybe six to nine months. This was inspite of me untying them before taking them off and retying them once I put them on. I do wear them like slip-ons from time to time but they are always untied and lossened first. I feel like I'm pounding sand or shaking my fist at a storm cloud because I doubt that my input is meaningless. If I were to recommend this shoe to a friend I would do it with a caveat tabout the hel durability. If Hoka would fix the durability issues with the Bondi it would make a good shoe a great shoe.

Lives up to all the hype. Definitely comfortable for an entire nursing shift.

Never had issues with Hoka but for some reason I've had intense knee pain after using these for a few weeks. Have stopped running for a week now but they don't seem as comfortable as I'm used to from them even in day to day wear.

I bought these for my husband to walk in because he has difficult with balance. These shoes are wonderful. It has given him greater stability and confidence when walking. He says they are so comfortable. Besides that they are good looking shoes!

Very pleased with my first pair of Bondi's (8). Great cushion - love the Bellwether blue color. They were slightly snug upon arrival but one night with shoe trees in them for a little stretch and they are perfect...I have several Mach's and love them, but this won't be my last pair of Bondi's.

First pair were a little small, link to return didn't work on any of the emails I tried... finally found return feature on the website... after that it was very easy to return shoes and received larger shoes much quicker than anticipated... shoes must tend to be a little small but 1/2 size larger and I'm off and running... very happy with shoes now

I have been a long time Bondi wearer given I love the plush cushioning they afford while being extremely light. Unfortunately, the redesigned Bondi 8'S I bought are less wide than its predecessors and the amount of cushioning is dramatically less. I hope it is just this one pair of Bondi's because they have been my "go to" sneaker.

Next pair I will make sure to go extra wide

Wearing it everyday at work. I walk around a lot in the hospital and this shoe helps a lot. So comfortable

My husband is on his feel all day and used to complain about them hurting at the end of the day. He walks nearly 20k steps or so a day, and being very active he needs good shoes. These are perfect and he has never worn any shoe seven days a week besides Hokas. Thank you for making such a high quality shoe.

Hoka's are wonderful shoes for the 1st 6 months. I have had 6 pair and 4 of the 6 have had the inside of the shoe in the heel area develop holes. Three of my friends have had the same issue. Hoka is aware of this and doesn't change the design to increase longevity of the shoes.

Great except for very poor insoles

I've worn Bondi 8s forever - just bought my 8th pair. With this pair, it seems as if the 2E, Wide, isn't really wide. I don't understand why the shoes are consistently made so narrow (and I have a thin foot). It's frustrating. Don't be afraid to put some space in the toe box - horizontally and vertically. Also, on this particular pair, the way the tongue is sewn into the inside of the shoe, the tongue is off center. I love Bondi 8 - plushest shoe available.

I need 2 wide and this is the perfect sneaker. I also have bone on bone in both knees and the cushion provided makes walking pain free. Glad I found HOKA's, I'll never wear another sneaker!

Last year I purchased a pair of Hoka Bondi 7 shoes to help me with a neuropathy issue. The additional comfort and support certainly helped me with my issue. Although skeptical at first I had decided to purchase a pair of Bondi 8 shoes. I can honestly say that my new Bondi's far exceeded my expectations for stability. additional comfort and support. Would highly recommend.

I have a re-attached foot and amputated fibula, requiring an AFO to walk, previously crushed pelvis ans hip. And suffer chronic pain from my foot to my hip. Hoka bondi 7 and 8 are some of the few shoes I can wear; and are the most comfortable given my restrictions. Without the extra wide feature I wouldn't be able to fit. A perfect shoe The perfect shoe me would be a combination of bondi 7 shoe on a bondi 8 sole for comfort and lateral support. And would be for many with similar restrictions as well.
