Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Bought for my son. He's having a little trouble adjusting to them. Says the sides hurt. I'm guessing he just needs more time to adjust. I wish Hokas were more affordable

Fit and comfort is very good as expected, but the tongues are sewn strangely. When pulling the tongues up tight, they deflect inward, towards the other foot. Not really uncomfortable, but seems like a sewing flaw. Same in both shoes

I walk between 8-12 thousand steps per day. My first pair of Hoka shoes were the Bondi 7 and I loved them. I bought a pair of Bondi 8's this time around. I have flat feet so I have to take out the insert and use one that's for my feet. This didn't happen with my old pair but with this new pair it sounds like I'm walking around in rubber rain boots. I've tried using my insert and the ones that came with the shoes. This stops the sound but then the shoes feels too tight.

After a long and painful search for WIDE footwear I broke down and bought a Mens Bondi . I purchased a Bondi 8 4E. It is a great fit, comfortable, and I'm very glad it has been made. BUT, there are NO other HOKA 4E presently. I desperately need a trail shoe. The Challenger nor the Speedboat were not wide enough, do not come in a 4E. Why is that? Please listen to your customers! HELP we need wide footwear. And your quality.

I've been faithful to NB for 15 years, as a large male I need the support and cushioning. These shoes haven't let me down!

They were returned due to things not right. They don't last. New bondi 8 were better but still issues

I stand all day as a cashier at a hardware store---on cement floors. The cushioning of the Bondi 8 is wonderful. The fit is great with the EEEE width. I used to have to get longer sizes in order to get a wide fit, but the toe would curl up and look obviously empty. I bought the Bondi 8 Hoka One One in every color in my size and am extremely grateful to have them. They are more expensive than what I can usually afford, but I feel I am worth it. By the way, I am 82 this year and REALLY appreciate the comfort!

This shoe/sneaker is fantastic, especially supporting the lateral portion of my foot, which is nearly devoid of any strength because of prior lumbar laminectomy! Would love to see other styles in extra-wide

This is great for my walking exercise. After having leg surgery and back surgery I was having trouble walking and with these I am now doing 5 miles instead of 2 miles. My feet do not hurt with these shoes.

I've purchased Hokas over the years for their comfort. This new shoe is actually causing foot pain because of the lack of padding. I'm going to have to use an insert to make them bearable. I miss my old Hokas.

This is a great shoe for any adult. Not a basketball shoe but gives support and pain free walking.

These shoes are light and feel like I'm running on clouds. They make me feel faster.

I recently fractured my foot and when I asked my podiatrist about HOKA sneakers she gave them a thumbs up. I was wearing a boot at the time but it seemed to make my foot hurt even more. I started wearing my Hoka's everyday and when I went back to the dr she was very pleased at how well I was healing. That's when I told her the truth about wearing the Hoka's. She laughed and told me to keep on doing what I was doing as I was healing great.

I wear my Bondi 8's every day all day at work with no fatigue or discomfort. I'm hooked!

I love all Hoka brand products that I have purchased so far. 8 pairs of different shoes from road running, hiking and trail running shoes. These Bondi 8 wides feel a little narrow at my arches.

Probably the most comfortable pair of athletic shoes I've ever owned. Supportive in all the right places. I bought them primarily in the hopes of mitigating heel pain from plantar fasciitis and they are definitely helping tremendously. I was also really pleased that HOKA offers my size at all (Mens 16) because they're notoriously tough to find. I will almost certainly buy another pair in another color just for variety. And I can only hope that someday HOKA ventures into casual dress footwear as well. A pair of oxfords that feel and fit like these Bondi 8's would be a slam-dunk!

These are my first pair of Hoka shoes. They were recommended to me from a bunch of people from a specific group on Facebook. I have rheumatoid arthritis and it has really affected my feet, along with a bunion. I have a lot of pain walking and sanding for long periods of time. I ordered wide width to accommodate the bunion and was disappointed that they are no wider than normal sneakers. I will try another paid and order the WWide next time...Very well made and cushiony. I was pleasantly surprised and happy with my purchase.

I bought these shoes as a gift for my son this Christmas. He needed a new pair after participating in a 1/2 marathon & much wear otherwise. He was thrilled.

Super comfy! I work in a warehouse & walk about 4/5 miles each day, climb stairs (4 floors up/down). No ache or pains. This is not the lightest shoes for sure. I have Clifton 7,8 and Mach 4. Those are light weight shoes. Over all I'm extremely happy with Bondi 8.

I wear these everywhere due to my left foot having plantar fasciitis. They are extremely comfortable and greatly reduce my pain level.

I have had my Biondi about two weeks and raely take them off. It has literally eliminated chronic foot pain that I've been suffering from for five years, a pain that four podiatrists were unable to resolve. I am now looking for Hoka hiking boots, golf shoes and sandals.

Shoe is very comfortable but one shoe I feel is narrower than the other and I ordered 4E extra wide. I tried a pair of black Bondi 8 in a shoe store and they felt like they had more room then the shark skin color pair that direct purchased from Hoka

I gave it as a gift to my dad and he loved it. He loved the added height, the style and enjoys the comfort level as he run.
