Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I wear size 10.5 extra wide. Your company keeps changing the Bondi series shoe. In the heal of the shoe, the Bondi 7 shoe fits better than Bondi 8. The Bondi 8 is more narrow. Bring back the Bondi 7 please!

First off, super comfortable and breathable material. But would NOT buy anything from Hoka again. Quality is HORRIBLE for the prices they charge and the warranty process is alot of hoops to jump thru and not a quick process at all. I purchased a pair of Hoka shoes 4/15. Got them 4/21 and by 5/25 the rubber sole on the bottom was coming unglued and edges are separated from sole of shoe.

I really wanted my husband to try Hokas but they don't come in his size! He wears a 7-1/2 4EEEE & Bondi's start at an 8-4EEEE. The 2EE's are still too narrow for his feet.

Love Hokas and have been wearing the Bondi 7 for years. I have several pairs. The Bondi 8 is just not as comfortable. The padding is not as plush. Just doesn't feel as good as the Bondi 7. I don't understand why people try to improve things that are already perfect (as the Bondi 7 were). I would still recommend the Bondi 8 to a friend but not as enthusiastically as I recommended the Bondi 7.

I like the solid stability of the Bondi 8. Very much. I miss the super sense of flying while hiking that i felt with my first pair of Hokas: Stinsons. The stinsons worked wonderfully until they didnt. One day, POOF! They catastrophically failed and I looked at the shoes closely: ah! The outer edges had worn to NOTHING. I then examined all other shoes in my closet: none of them were worn more on the outsides at all. Odd. Still, i loved the first Hokas so much i asked an athletic shoe salesman for advice. He recommended the Bondis for suppenation. I have only fifty miles on these Bondi 8 shoes so far. All is ok. But not the wonderful joy surpassing all previous running shoes.

My size 10.5 was perfect length, but the width is very small. Have had many brands of shoes with 4E with, none of them were as tight as the shoe. If I order another pair, I might go to a size 11 and hope that that with feels slightly more comfortable. Otherwise, the cushion in the shoes have really helped my knees, but my feet are sore.

Everyday walking

Replaced my Bondi 7 with Bondi 8 but the fit is different and toe box is narrow. I'm not happy

Tried the Bondi 8 and the shoe is very tight.

I enjoy the product very much To my surprise, the soul began to come apart after only two months. This is the second pair of the same exact shoe that I have purchased. So it was frustrating.

it was ok ,but sent them back because they hurt my arch ,it rub it red and sore.

I love them except that they make a pretty loud squeak when I walk.

Well after the second day the left insole seems to have moved and foot sits on the outside edge of the shoe trying to move the insole back to place but doesn't feel right

Great Design and good selection of colors but it's just too soft for me. Needed a more firmer shoe, but for those who want the feeling of walking on a cloud get these ones.

I've been a diehard Hoka fan for many years through many Ironman triathlons. The last version of the Bondi shoes is quite a contrast and adjustment compared to other changes. Not sure I'm a fan!

I usually wear a 16 eeee in comparable brand shoes. These only come standard width in 16. I decided to give em a try. Not wide enough. Other than that they are a good comfortable shoe. Just too narrow in the arch for me.

its good but not justify high price

I have had good success with Hoka shoes previously. However my new Bondi 8 shoes are not comfortable. I have the same size that I always wear in Hoka and others. They are too tight on the outside of the little toe. There is lots of room on the outside of the big toe

I like to wear my Hokas daily, not just running. So, from a style and feel perspective (not necessarily performance) the Bondi 7 is better. The topside of the Bondi 8 is very thin compared to the more aesthetic Bondi 7. It resembles a cheap sneaker and does not look as good with casual wear.

Toe cup has an indent ion that at times rubs on my toe. Previous pair the trim glue was ineffective, and peeled off. Again, I love you guys, but get on the QC team please.

Not much different than the New Balance shoes I had. The HOKA seem to run tight in the big sizes.. My 14 EEEE is tight. Now really impressed. Lots of hype same old shoe.

Is anyone else having issues with their ankles? The new Bondi eight has a wider sole/base and seems to be creating new issues.
