Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Surprised it passed quality control.

I sent them back. They were a lot smaller than the ones i purchased last year from store. There should be a way to hve them Constant. I will have to go back to Gazelle sports next time.

My Bondi 8's are very comfortable but are tighter in the width area than other brands but the length is true to size. I'd consider buying wide version next time. They are not the most fashionable shoe on the market but for walks/jogs and workouts I like them.

I think these shoes are super comfortable and functional. But I'm very worried that the midsole is very soft. I wore them once and the foam got torn. Oh well.

The Bondi shoes have drastically reduced the pain in my feet from working a 12-hour job that keeps me walking constantly. It truly is comfortable on the sole of my feet. However, I immediately started feeling my toes being restricted and irritated from the constant rubbing on the sides of the upper material. I bought wide shoes and yet the toe box was not wide enough for my toes. My big toe on both my feet was left with blisters and my pinky toes felt so scrunched up that I kept stepping on them inside the shoes the more I walked. To reduce the discomfort I had to use a shoe expander to make the shoes wider by stretching out the upper material. Even after expanding the inside of the shoes, my toes continued to suffer, but to a lesser degree. I strongly recommend that the next version of the Bondi shoe have a wider toe box by at least a few more millimeters. I want to love the Bondi because I can feel the benefit of having a max cushion shoe, but for the sake of my toes I can't continue to use them.

Forefoot seems more flared than last year's Bondi 8. Tongue now has a lateral elastic. Midfoot area seems slightly narrower. Each of these changes has decreased my satisfaction with the Bondi model, I'm on the lookout for something that fits my skew feet better. The upper material pattern has also changed but that is not a problem for me.

We have been a Hoka customer since day one, I believe. Still have the Clifton 1, still has cushioning, they have been all over the world. Today, the most cushioned shoe is the Bondi 8. Just bought a pair for a gift. Not cushioned like the Bondis even 4 years ago. Really disappointed. Actually, feel firm. Some of us, have changed to Skechers, they do have cushioning-which we all need. Whoever is making your shoes, are not doing a good job.

I've loved my HOKAs until the recent Bondi 8 which I returned.

As an older, overweight human a I was looking for comfort and cushion. While the shoe certainly delivers on these requirements the built in arch height was a deal breaker. Tried 3 different inserts and nothing helped. While I would have loved to keep this shoe it just would not work.

I have been purchasing HOKA shoes exclusively for 4 years now. The latest pair is tight and causes foot discomfort even though I always purchase the same size and width. I have been wearing them for a couple weeks mow hoping they "break in" to my feet. Unfortunately I am ready to give up on this pair . They are just too narrow. I will try them again but only if i can find a wider size.

In every pair I've owned, the inside of the heal wears away and I need to bandage the heal of my foot until I build up enough callous so me feet don't hurt. My son has the same issue. I once exchanged pair for this defect but the replacement pair did the same, so I just decided to live with it.

I just received a product with bad quality. Before I buy it, I saw the photos and was beautiful, the colors were vibrant, here in my hand, it looks pale. I am frustrated.

I wear a custom made ankle brace for a fused left ankle. The Bondi 7 provided ideal support. The Bondi 8, however, is clunky, heavy, and cheaply made.

The insole seems way too narrow, and my wife hole foot cannot fit on it. This leaves an uncomfortable and long crease on my foot front to back through my arch. If the insole was wider, the house would be great. They are constructed well, and the sole provides plenty of cushion.

one shoe came with a very short shoe lace compared to the other shoe. i tried customer service to just send me a new shoe lace, they couldn't. Options send shoes back in for exchange and receive new shoes or spend additional $$ for new shoe laces that won't match shoe, just spent over $150 for shoes. And Hoka does not sell shoe laces for their shoes.

Second pair of Bondi's The new pair squeaks a lot.

The Bondi is very cushy, but it's too narrow for my foot. I tried the wide version, but it's too wide. So, I guess I'll stick to the Arahi 6 instead. That shoe is perfect for me!

Billing :instantly. Shipping: 10 days later. Arrival5 days after that.

I'm a woman with a larger than average foot. I typically wear a women's 13W or a men's 11.5D. I ordered the latter. The cushion and comfort on this shoe is fantastic. I could stand or walk in them all day but for one problem: the width. I should have ordered an 11.5E or EE because the edge of the arch support in this shoe cuts into the middle of the arch on both my feet. The body of the shoe is also so tight through the widest part of my foot that it sometimes causes a bit of reduced circulation in my toes if I sit with them on for more than 30 minutes. Bottom line: a good shoe that runs narrow. If you have wide feet, go up a width over what you usually buy.

This is my second pair of Bondi Hoka's and the first pair won me over in terms of comfort. These new Bondi 8's have upped their game, they are even more comfortable to wear. But maybe it's just because they're new, (I've only had these a few weeks) but they are super squeaky! Every single time I take a step, they let out a noticeable squeak. Not such an issue outside (you can still hear it but it's less apparent) but indoors, it is distractingly loud. Just an observation...

Ordered thinking it was basically the same as Bondi7 but this new model is too soft.
