I am amazed at the comfort of these shoes! My orthotic insoles make a huge squeak which makes me unable to wear them to Church, but for other occasions, they are great!

Left shoe has been 100%
Right shoe arch had a lump in it that was different than the left shoe, caused a lot of pain.
I spoke to customer service and they suggested trying a second pair. My mistake in agreeing. It is 2 months later and the problem has come back. The left shoe is still100% but I can physically feel that the right shoe now has something wrong in the arch and heel pocket. Highly uncomfortable/painful and I'm done wearing them. I have never had a shoe issue like this before with any brand, I really think this is a manufacturing defect.

They're pricey but worth every penny. My left ankle is messed up from a motorcycle accident these sneakers provide at least some comfort

I walk my young, large, Standard Poodle, 3 times a day, several miles each time. I am far from young myself & the comfort of my Hokas make it possible to walk long distances and not become lame. Love them.

These are very comfortable shoes, unfortunately for me I ordered the biggest size(16) in a D width the toe box is tight and the shoes run a little short compared to the regular shoes I buy. They were so comfortable I'm using a shoe stretcher with some success to get that little bit of length and width I need. If they made a 17 I think I would be good.

Ordered the extra wide shoes still didn't fit the left. shoe was narrower than the pair I ordered before that were just wide very poor quality control. They have the inability to figure out how to make a product to the proper width to the industry standards. I have used a similar company that makes othropedic shoes and I only wear a standard D width

I bought these shoes on recommendation from a friend. I was diagnosed with Achilles tendinitis recently and was looking for well cushioned shoes for work. They're working! My tendinitis is getting better. Looking to buy a second pair for every day wear

Wore them for 6 hrs and feet never hurt so bad. Highly disappointed but, I guess these are not the shoe for me. My son and friends love them and talked me into trying them. Waiting on my credit back

I have feet that pronate and have to wear custom inserts. I also wear a size 13 4E.
The Bondi 8 is less wide in the arch area then the Bondi 7 was.
The Bondi 8 also has an elastic from the tongue to the foot bed through the arch that the Bondi 7 didn't have. I ended up removing this elastic and it gave me some more room in the arch.
I wish the Bondi 8 was as wide as the Bondi 7 through the arch area.
Outside of that, the shoe is great, fits well in the length and the sole with its cushion is the best in the market!

I'm dissapointed in my new Bondi 8. When I put my foot into my Bondi 7 for the first time, I felt like I was walking on a pillow. The 8 is much stiffer and lacks the cushion. I'd rather wear my old Bondi 7 then my new 8.

Sizing was just right & I have a foot that is a little more narrow than r medium size. Padding is terrific making it very comfortable for long power walks on the trail. Very pleased. Also love the color combination orange & blue. Have had many compliments on these shoes both on & off the trail.

I like to wear my Hokas daily, not just running. So, from a style and feel perspective (not necessarily performance) the Bondi 7 is better. The topside of the Bondi 8 is very thin compared to the more aesthetic Bondi 7. It resembles a cheap sneaker and does not look as good with casual wear.

Great shows to walk. I do 5-1/2 miles daily and is a very comfortable shoe all the way through.
Need a sale sometime as I buy a pair every 11/2 month to 2

I love Hoka's so much, I gift them to my children. This is the secpair for my son who is on his feet all day at work. It's been a year and time for a new pair. He loves the support they give, but he is not a fan of the giant Hoka logo, So I bought him a black on black pair this year! He loves them.

The extra wide shoe did not fit. It hurt the outside of my foot so I had to return both shoes. I try to find another extra wide shoe on your website and couldn't find one. Returning the shoes was very easy.

I purchased these shoes to help with plantar fasciitis but when i wore them, the back of my left heel started hurting worse than any of the flareups. Something between the Hoka shoes and the support my feet require didnt work out.

Toe cup has an indent ion that at times rubs on my toe. Previous pair the trim glue was ineffective, and peeled off. Again, I love you guys, but get on the QC team please.

My wife and I walk three miles everyday. The cushion and comfort of my Bondi's make my walk pain free.
I am on my sixth or seventh pair of Hoka's and will never buy anything else.
Many of our friends have purchased Hoka's based on my explanation of how comfortable they are. They all rave about the shoe.
