Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

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.

The shoe appears to fit small. Inside of feet sit just over the outside of the sole of shoe, never had to buy wide before but looks like if I buy Hokas again i will have to.

I bought two pairs of these because I thought the first was defective but sure enough they cut out the "walking on clouds" feeling with the Bondi 8. My beat up Bondi 7s have more of a bounce after over a year of nearly daily use.

I have 2 pairs of bondi 6 and 1 gaviota 4, all of which are great. My bondi 8s hurt my arches after an hour or two. Also, they are slightly narrower so that they are uncomfortable, also after an hour or two. If they work for you, they are probably as wonderful as other hokas. These didn't work for me

The Bondi 8 is a nice show, much sleeker look. Unfortunately, the "walking on pillows" magic is gone. The 8 has a much stiffer feel in comparison to the 7. Bring back the pillow magic.

Comfortable for my bunions but unusual base adversely affects my back. Did not meet expectations.

Good shoe but prefer my Clifton's over these.

I used these shoes for long walks. About an hour or so into walking I notice a rubbing on the side corners of the bottom of my feet. The rubbing seems to be coming from right where the insole meets the side wall of the shoe. I can't use them now.

Like the shoes for walking. Not so much for work. Get about 5hrs in and feet and back go to HURTING! my Redwing boots get me about 10hrs.

This year was not as comfortable as the ones I bought last year
