Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I returned the sneakers some 10 days ago to be replaced by a regular width because the ones I received were much too wide… I am still waiting the replacement ones I hope to receive before I return to New York after my visit to Europe

Honestly these shoes may be good for people with big feet but for me. I wear a size 7. They made my feet look like a ducks foot. They are to wide in the toe area. When you get the ones with color they really stand out. I prefer the Bondi 7 over the Bondi 8. I am sending all three pairs back. The black shoe is the bondi & and the blue shoes is a bondi 8

More narrow around the toes then the bondi 7. I recommend ordering wide if your feet arnt shaped like skis.

I feel like I'm walking uphill. They seem heavier than my old Asics. Unfortunately, I bought these in town. Now I am ordering some Asics from Zappos.

I really wanted to like these shoes but the width of these shoes is a poor match for my foot. I have flatter than average feet and typically wear a 2E and almost all 2E shoes fit me well. I ordered the Bondi 8 in a 2E and after running got blisters on both of my big toes and inside arch of my foot due to my foot rubbing on the edge of the cushion. I then ordered the 4E hoping they would be a better fit but they were not. The problem seems to be the width proportions. With the 4E the room in the toe box was better (almost acceptable) but the width around the mid foot (arch) was still extremely narrow, even more narrow than a non-wide shoe (and this was a 4E!). I have a flatter foot and found that my mid foot was over the side of platform (only held by the mesh) and, therefore, rubbing on the edge of the cushion. It's amazing how poor of a fit these shoes were. I think these only fit someone with either a very high arch or very narrow mid foot, even then you would probably need to go up in width. Hoka got the fit of these shoes really wrong and it's a huge disappointment. They had a good amount of cushion though, I felt that they were softer than the Bondi 7s and I preferred the softer cushion of the 8 to the 7. The fit changed significantly between the 7 and the 8, I think the 7 were a better fit. Why did they change it? So disappointing.
