the shoe felt stiff and heavy. It did not feel comforting when walking around my home.

Right foot has bunion and callus on bony prominences. Shoe was not wide enough and felt very hard and firm ridges rubbing.
Left foot shoe was okay, comfortable. This was the first Hoka shoe tried. Is there another style that would work better? Only able to walk slowly with assistance device, Very disappointed, loved the style and color.

I ordered these shoes for my husband. He did not like the color or the shoe laces. He likes having ankle support so rules these out.
I think they fit okay though.

The sole inside the shoe was very uncomfortable sent them back and received new one's and they had the exact same issue. I was very disappointed

Used for every day walking. Very comfortable. I got lots of nice complements on the shoe itself. Makes one feel good about the purchase.

I am a 81 year male at 6'4"/195 lbs. I walk around a mile per day and have been wearing bondi 8 for 4 year. The quality of shoe support seems to fail faster than they should. Therefore, I will start looking at different brands for my next purchase within the next few weeks.

I love my Bondi 7s but the 8s are huge in the toe box and wider in general. I’m disappointed

The change they made from the Bondi 7 to the 8 just does not work for me. I even tried the men's and it did not matter. My right foot felt like it was over lapping the bottom cushion. I loved the Bondi 7 and will keep trying if they change the Bondi 8. For now I wear a different Hoka.

I had the same shoes in size 10. The padding in the heal collapsed on both shoes because they were so hard to get on. The pair I just bought are 10 1/2 as I thought that would solve the problem. I can get these on properly but it takes way too long. They feel great once I get them on with the back of the heal out instead of curled in.

Toe us cut narrow might not be good for older folks. Nice color.

Why I returned these pair of Hoka?! First because of bulkiness of those shoes and THE MOST IMPORTANT the arch support is way too much for my feet and its arch shape! When I tried to do walking on flat ground or treadmill, when I tried to run, each step hit back strongly to my knees and I still suffer!!! I just tried those shoes three times and no comfortable at all, looks beautiful but uncomfortable.....

My new Bondi 8s are my every day shoe they are fine but I prefer the older style of which I have owned two pair. Anyway, I can still get the older style of bondi 8s ?

I have been running with Hoya Bondi for a while.I just purchased a pair of Bondi 8 and returned them since the toe box feels rather tight, compared to previous models.

This is my 7th pair of Bondi's. I walk 6-8 miles every day. My last 3 pair of Bondi 8's do not wear as well as my first 4 pairs did. My last pair(#6) lasted for only 3 months.
My newest pair is showing wear at 2 weeks. I am no longer very happy with this product. Greg Chacharon

I was excited to get my first pair of Hokas. They've caused a lot of pain for the two weeks I've been wearing them. Hoping this is due to my flat arches, and that the pain will subside. I've tried to get in touch with the company but haven't found a channel as I don't want to return them.

I'm disappointed in the Hoka Bondi 8's. I bought wide.. I normally wear a size 8 but had to go up half size.. The real problem with this shoe for me is that I have flat feet. I walk long distance for exercise. The Bondi 8's have zero arch support.. So for people with flat feet walking in this shoe feels like your feet are flat stiff boards.. very awkward and uncomfortable for the foot ... it feels flat and stiff ..not able to bend at all when walking.. No good for walking at all.

The Bondi 8s gave me shin splints right away, after a little running. I think it's perhaps the way I land on the side of my heel. The One Ones are fine, and I just got the new Cliftons and they're great, and no shin splints.

My husband bought these sneakers and loved how they corrected his knee stress from being a little bow-legged. But now he has a calcium growth on his big toe which is aggravated by the narrow shoe toe. He needed a roomier toe sneaker.

Very comfortable from first putting on. My problem is they squeak. So when I am at the gym people look over at me because of the squeak. It is a little embarrassing.

The issue may be that I need to break in these runners but found I was getting hot spots and blisters on the pads of my feet. Also the heel strike caused soreness after doing 7 miles

Not the Bondi of old for sure but it is wearable, again the overall quality of all your shoes is just not what it use to be.

My first Bondis. I have been wearing the trail running shoes but wear the treads off quickly, so trying a flatter sore. But the door box feels kind of sloppy, and I haven't made up my mind.
