Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I love my 2 pairs of men's bondi 8 shoes , but , it seems like one pair seem , just a little tighter then the other. They are both the same size , of course. Just noticed a difference in the 2 pairs.

I have a wide foot so I ordered a size 11.5 W. I walk 5 miles a day and love the fit and comfort of this shoe. It looks a little big because of the W width but it is so comfortable and leaves room for my toes to spread out. Highly recommend this shoe, especially if a person has a wide foot.

I read many reviews for walking/running shoes before purchasing the Hokas. I bough a pair of Bondi 7s last year for use in my walks (typically 5-8 miles, 2-3 times a week). I like the cushioning/support of the Bondis so much that I am purchasing Bondi 8s for everyday wear now as well as for walks.

I spend up to 12 hours a day standing, walking and running on concrete floors. These are a life-changing pair or sneakers.

Have used almost every major brand out there with limited success in comfort for walking. My wife has been a Hoka fan for 4+ years (yes, before they were trendy). I finally broke down and ordered a pair at her recommendation (Men, we should listen to our wives). I went through the process of finding the right shoe on their web site and ordered the recommended pair. They arrived today and I went straight to the tread mill and took them for a spin. Unbelievable... None of the common arch pains or lower leg numbness. An actual game changer. On a regular surface (floor or pavement) there is almost a spring effect with each step. I noticed less of that on the cushioned deck of the treadmill but after a few miles had none of my typical issues. I ordered a wide and it totally made a difference I coudl feel with each step, almost like I was walking barefoot. Needless to say, I'm now a believer. Thank you Hoka.

Not a runner, but everyday use. Very comfortable.

I wear brooks all the time . Decided to try out the Hoka Bodandi. The inner left insole of the left shoe crinkles and it bothers my foot. It feels like the vision on both shows has dramatically diminished in the three weeks that I sube worn them for my runs. Good shoe but it feels defective.

I would like to see at some point Hoka make the same color blocks for men and women's sizing for all their style shoes. I tend to like the bolder colors of the men's sizing but fall just below their sizing which is disappointing. I know if the colors were made for both sizing like the bold reds, blues, greens, yellows, greys, etc. it would make it hard to only want to buy one pair because I'd want them all. Just never really been a fan of the softer women's colors. It's more of a me problem, I get that, but wish in the future they allowed the opportunity to not have to choose an alternative color to what I really would want. Overall, these shoes and the Clifton's and speedboats are amazing. I have major foot problems like plantar fasciitis and these help tremendously.

Bought two pair as I wasn't sure which one I would need. Sent the other as a return which was very quick! Both shipping to me and the return were quick and simple. Love my Hoka Bondi 8 shoes, they are like walking on air!

FedEx lost the lost the first pair. You should have sent me a new pair instead of waiting to have refund payment clear. You should not trust fedex to such a great product. People count on your shoes for work.

Great looking shoes with cushioned support. Uncomfortable due to rubbing on side inner side of each foot and top. Could be expansion straps. Hoping it improves. Still plan to be a Hoka customer. Own 6 pair.

Very comfortable shoe makes a difference when wearing it on days I am doing a lot of walking. The reason for 4 stars is because the tongue is only attached to the shoe on one side and this can make the tongue a tad uncomfortable at times.

Very noticeable difference in width between the Bondi 8 and my previous shoe (Glycerin 19). Both are 10.5 2E. I really like the extra room in the toebox of the Bondi 8. However, the heel width seems a bit too much on right foot. Having a bit of trouble with a rubbing/blister on inside edge of heel. Feels like my heel sits higher up in these shoes than old shoes. I'm an under-pronator, and this shoe was recommended for that. Next time I might try same size but normal width, and see if that is better. Cushioning and support feels great.

I was in a major car accident 5 years ago and suffered severe trauma to my right leg. After years of therapy I am able to walk however, haven't been able to find a everyday walking shoe that would allow me to walk for several hours without having pain shooting from my foot to my hip because I walk with a limp. After seeing these shoes on someone else I had to try them for myself. Best decision and purchase I have made for my everyday comfort since my wreck. Best support and comfort I have found in any shoe I have tried!

toe box too small so had to return and order 4E which is ok, a little too big. not as cushioned as bondi 7. Loved Bondi 7!!!!!!!!!!!

Extra comfortable, I use this shoes for my job, that I have walk all time

Since I have been wearing my Bondi 8 Hokas my foot pain has had total relief.I recommend my shoes to everyone who has this type problem .

Have been wearing the Bondi exclusively for 10 years. With my orthotics they give me the comfort and stability I require. Plus I like the colors and wide widths.

This is my second pair, exact same shoe and size just a different color. They are so much tighter in the toe box than the first pair. Considering sending back :(

I walk my dog 6-8 miles every day. I wanted a shoe with maximum cushioning. These aren't as cushy as my Cloudmonsters- but cushier than my Via Olympus. They seem to be more stable due to the wide sole, but the shoe itself out of the box is more narrow than the other two I just mentioned. Looks wise- hands down best looking of the three. I can't comment about durability yet. Hopefully better than my Arahi 3's that I completely wore through the tread rather quickly (and get yelled at by my Podiatrist for continuing to wear). Length is fine. Width seems snug. Hoping they stretch out.

However, I ordered a 12.5 but received a 12.0. Didn't want to go through the hassle of shipping back, etc. Therefore, my left foot which is a 12.0 is fine but my left foot which is a 12.5 is not..
