Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

wish it would come in color red in x wide sizes

I've had two back surgeries for spinal stenosis. My Hokas are comfortable. I also have a dog and wear them to take him for walks.

It's the only shoe I can wear because of health issues but they are so comfortable, fit well and wear well. I've been buying Hoka Bondi 5 - 8 . I keep at least 3 pair at a time or more.

I have extra wide feet and both knees have been broken. When my wife bought my first Bondi 7 it was the best thing I had ever worn. Because they only come in black or gray in 4 xwide, she bought 2 black and a gray. I could immediately feel the difference in the gray. They are styled differently and are not as comfortable, but still better by far than anything else I had tried. So it's ten months later and Bondi 8 has replaced Bondi 7. I put one on while wearing my old Bondi 7 on the other foot. There is no comparison. Why is it that when something is just right and highly rated by all wide footed people, HOKA has to mess it up by making it "new" ? I am wearing the Bondi 8 sparingly as they launch me forward and give me an unsteady feeling. When I locate an authentic pair of Bondi 7 in my size, I will abandon the Bondi 8 forever.

I am very pleased with the weight and width of these. I have "regular" wides that I use for walking and like then a lot but leave them laced very loosely due to my wide foot. These extra wides are great for running or elliptical. They fit perfectly and allow me to lace and secure them for the more intense cardio while not slipping or being too tight. Will definitely purchase again.

We walk every day and had no idea that a shoe could be as comfortable as my new Hokas. When I wear them out, I always get asked if they live up to the hype? My answer is always yes and get a pair, you won't be sorry. Just bought a pair for my brother for his birthday and I'm so excited for him to put them on his feet. I have foot issues and I do not have any when these are on my feet.

As an educator I'm standing all day long and I find the plush comfort of wearing the Hoka Bondi 8's absolutely amazing! My back, knees and feet feel great after a long day at work. I even use them for casual wear and the Bondi's for refereeing College and High Schoo Basketball!

I first purchased the Bondi 8 in a size 12, the same size as my Bondi 7 that fit perfectly. I had to send the new Bondi 8 back in exchange for a 12.5, which also now fits perfectly.

Very spongy. Very comfortable.

I have worn my Hokas on several fitness walks and found them to be extremely comfortable, cushioned and great for fast striding. My only small complaint is that they are a bit difficult to put o as the opening seems small.

This is my first pair of Hokas. I have been pretty loyal to another brand till now. They are slightly larger than this other brand so it took some getting used to. But the style is modern and bright. I love a shoe that stands out. Walking in them feels like walking on a cloud. I feel really secure in my step. I plan to try out all the styles Hoka has to offer.

I've only been wearing these just over a week now and the ball of my left foot starts getting a sharp pain after wearing them for a few hours. I'm hoping to see if they just need to wear in more!

I used my Bondi 8 (all black) shoes to referee basketball. I love the fit and cushion in the shoes. This model supports the stopping and quick changes in direction with my foot fitting down into the shoe base. I am sold on the Bondi 8 model of Hoka.

The Bondi 8 is a nice shoe, but nowhere near as comfortable as the Giovatti's I had before these. The heel isn't as much as I need.

Still waiting on the 2 nd pair on Hoka shoes that was coming trough Eamon.

This is my first pair. A friend recommended them to me when I started having trouble with the brand I had been wearing for years. I'm happy with these. So far I've only taken 2 Mike walks but hoping to get back to my 6 mile soon

The shoes that I purchased are fantastic. They look wonderful and feel incredible. The big issue I had was with getting the shoes. I ordered them online on the 13th of December. As of the 23rd, there were no shoes and the website had contradictory information regarding the shipping. I called and the representative said that they hadn't been shipped yet and I had to wait until after XMAS to call for my refund. I called after XMAS and spoke with another representative who stated that they couldn't ship the shoes due to the error with the label being created and that I would receive the refund prior to the 9th of January. Because I really liked the shoes, I ordered another pair with that representative over the phone. I received the shoes right after the 1st of January. Then a couple of days later I received a second pair. Needless to say I am still awaiting the refund and now I have 2 pairs of the same shoes. I called regarding the return and have been told that I have to pay to mail in the 2nd pair before receiving my refund; no disrespect, however, I am still awaiting the refund that was supposed to happen nearly a month ago. I don't know if I trust the company to get it right after receiving the shoes that I mail in. This will probably the last pair of Hokas that I will buy. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!

Cushion sole but solid enough to play pickle ball without rolling or feeling unstable. The "tongue" is anchored on one side which prevents centering it with my high instep. Tighter than I would have thought being electronically sized to 4E width. I have a wide foot and very high I step which is always a problem fitting shoes. These are better than most.

These shoes seem to be well made. I purchased them online after many recommendations. The original fit was very small and tight toe to heel as well as side to side. Excellent customer service in exchanging them. A size larger was sent. Size fits better, however the arch support isn't right for me. I soils have gone to a brick and mortar to be fitted properly. I am unhappy with the purchase, although I made the mistakes. I will try another style in the future. I am hopeful.

Most comfortable tennis shoe I've ever worn. I bought a set for leisure. After wearing for a week I had to get another pair to work in. Way to comfortable.

I use my HOKA's at work. I love how colorful the Bondi 8 limited edition shoes are. I have 3 pairs of Bondi 8's and they are perfect for wearing to work - healthcare.
