Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I am 78 yrs old and have had peripheral neuropathy for many years. It has been very hard for me to find comfortable shoes. I now have two pairs of Hoka shoes and wear them every day. Thank you for your engineering and shoe style. Anyone that asks I quickly tell them about the brand and highly recommend them.

I have neuropathy and these shoes are awesome they are super comfortable

The Bondi 8 is a great shoe, as is the Bondi 7. Wonderful cushioning, light weight and a pleasure to wear. Now if Hoka made a hiking boot in 4E width, I'd be in heaven.

I feel good about buying Men's Bondi 8. They are very comfortable and light.

should have a little more cushion

I am a walker. The 7 feels more substantial and simple in design than the 8. I imagine the Bondi 8 is more suitable for running. It's a little funky with the two tone sole. I thought I ordered wide, but received a standard width. Not sure who erred. Thankful for the 30 day return policy

I have never had more comfortable shoes than the Hoka. I have two pairs, and I am not stopping there.

Shoes came out of the box running in the warm weather. Strike was perfect, and the shoe fit every part of my feet. Hate to complain even a bit about a shoe this sweet. But the color did not seem to match the site image. Yes, I know... what a whiner.

The shoes have very good foot support/cushioning. I like the shoes, hopefully they'll be more durable this time as the last pair wore out too quickly & ripped on the side. But your customer service is top notch, everyone I had to work with was very on point, helpful, & professional in helping me replace them with this new pair. I appreciate great customer service & will continue being a customer.

Bought these after knee surgery on the recommendation of my surgeon. I was skeptical at first and had sticker shock when I saw the price. But I bought them anyway. I was used to wearing "athletic " cowboy boots to work daily and am on my feet all day. After 2 days in my new HOKA's I noticed a tremendous reduction in my typical arthritis pain. I continued with my HOKAs daily and recovered from surgery rapidly. I then got a wild hair up my butt to try my boots again after 3 months of pure comfort. BIG MISTAKE!! I have retired the boots and now own several pairs of Bondi 8's and even a pair of sandals. I would highly recommend everyone try a pair as you won't be disappointed.

These shoes are excellent. I am a repeat customer. Thanks for making such a great product and keeping my knees intact!

Once I got used to looking down and seeing snowshoes(they flare way out) I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I adjusted to them. An extra wide foot, I am thrilled to have a new option!

I purchased a pair of HOKA Bondi 8s for walking on recommendation of my son who runs marathons in them. Your website recommended this model for walkers too, especially us old guys who need a lot of cushioning. Have walked 2.5 miles per day since I got them and am very happy with this productz

I've had three pairs of the SR's for work and couldn't have anything wrong to say about them. Most comfortable shoes I've ever owned in my life. I purchased a non SR Bondi to wear outside of work and it seems to feel a little different. They're not quite broken I'm yet and I'm hoping after a solid month of wearing them they feel very similar to the SR's. Great looking shoe!!

The padding and overall comfort of these shoes is marvelous. However, the arches are insanely high and are made of hard, incompressible material-- after a walk I felt like someone had been beating my arches with a pipe. Couldn't do surgery on the arch support itself because it looks like cutting the material would destroy the linkage with the upper, so I supplemented the insole by putting partial insoles from another pair of shoes underneath, with the arch support area cut out so as to raise the level everywhere BUT the arch. That worked, and now the shoes are quite comfortable. But without that I'd have had to return them.

I've heard so much hype about HOKA, so I tried them. Unfortunately, they are nothing special, and if I could return them, I would.

These shoes are the most uncomfortable of any shoe I've purchased from HOKA. I was very disappointed with this shoe

The Bondi 8 is labeled a plush cushion shoe that is stable. It feels more like a stability shoe with cushioning. The arch support is very pronounced to the point of being uncomfortable for a neutral foot.

I have 4 hoka shoes. Three bondi 6 and 1 clifton 4. I like them all . But the bondi 8 has a serious design flow. As HOKA is crazy to make the shoes even more lighter, it destroyed the integrity of the shoes by crossing the red line by making it too light. It affected the integrity of the shoes. The upper mesh is wobbling and squeshy because it has no support around it at the bottm like bondi 6. Bondi 8's sole height is lower and flatter givng it less cushion. No upper support and less cushion. I asked for Bondi 6 and they said they don't have it.

I have been purchasing Bondi style sneakers for the past 10 years! Before the colors were cool. Before they were mainstream. I switched to the Bondi because my feet fell in love with the cushion. The street did not scare me to run on. My body felt great and my feet were once again happy running. Every time I ran people stared and made funny comments. Today my running friends and family all wear the shoes once seen as "I would not be caught dead in those"or "I would rather my knees and feet hurt then to be seen running in those". I hope the integrity stays the same for the next 10 years and beyond.

This is my 2nd pair. Love the cushioning and the fit after a total of half a dozen runs. They appear to be just what the doctor ordered!

Use these shoes for everyday running and they feel great. Love the wide toe box.

extensive walking right now. running to come after I drop a little weight

I use these shoes at the gym. I have bad knees and these shoes are really helping ease the pain. I would buy these shoes again.
