Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Nice to wear for a while, lightweight. Didn't really perform the way people say they do. I spend 12ish hours on my feet every day and these shoes didn't help ease that pain at all

Used to be I could order any pair of Hokas and be overwhelmingly impressed with the fit and the level of comfort. I've had a few different pairs over the past few years. The last 2 pairs I've ordered were extremely tight and the last pair were very stiff, to the point where the were actually hurting my feet. I'd like to note that although my shoe size has not changed, I have lost 56 lbs since my last pair of Hokas were ordered. You'd think this would not be an issue for me.

Show was a bit too bulky and the heel area was too narrow.

Shoes are tight in the toe and made my feet go to sleep.

These shoes are massive and feel like walking on a cloud. Be prepared to spend more money on nice soles because the ones that come with the shoe rub your foot so bad you will have blisters.

Purchased a pair of Bondi model shoes recently and the pull on loop at the back of the shoe broke off within three days. I am disappointed with the quality of the shoe. The shoe is very comfortable but at the price paid I expected better overall quality. Hoka is replacing the shoe but now I know that I cannot use the loop to pull on the shoe

Seemingly well made shoe but I just didn't like the fit so I returned them.

I wore Bondi 7s for a couple years. Loved them. I needed new sneakers so I ordered the new Bondi 8s. I wear a 14 EE. It's not easy to find comfortable shoes. The new 8s have a significantly higher arch than my 7s did. After a couple days of wearing them I felt like I was walking on a log under my arches. If you have tender arches beware. Thankfully Hoka has a generous return policy

Initially tried on the shoes, and immediately felt the stitching in the arch of the shoe. I was looking for a little bit more cushioning.

Felt too loose in front and not enough cushion for my plantar fascitis. Was surprised that my feet hurt.

These shoes started out great, but after the first few months the bottom of these shoes started falling apart.

The shoe feels decent to run in, after two or three runs the color has started to fade and peel off the sides. This has never happened with previous running shoes until after many more uses. I have had other HOKA models and enjoyed them, I don't think this one is worth the price.

Heavy walking.Cushion feel not the same as my first 3 pair.

I ordered the same size as my New Balance sneaks but discovered that while the sole might be wider, it's not sufficiently wide enough in the fabric part of the shoe. I will be returning them for a refund.

It is simply too wide even in its D width for my foot. Overall impression is of clumsiness in its medium size(D). I have a narrow foot and other models, less expensive ones, fit better. Wide profile of this size makes it aesthetically unpleasing. Why was this cut chosen for medium size when you have option of purchasing W size for those customers so minded. There seems to be a great waste of material involved when you manufacture an over-sized shoe. A narrower shoe would look better on one's foot and save material. The wideness contributes to a shabby look of wearing oversize shoes suitable for clowns or misfits. The shoe is also expensive and yet robs one of pride of ownership by its extraordinary width. compared to length.

I use this shoe as my primary walk/running shoe. Too stiff and has not helped with the problem that I bought it for. Too stiff and too heavy

I bought them in black as I have in the past. I bought three different pair of Bondi 8 and everyone turned navy blue when in the sunlight. I use them for everyday wear and thre blue is not accetablr.

My husband used to love the Bondi, but this new style, the insole rubs the inside of his foot raw when he runs.

You have changed the cut of the interior and the width of the sole to a much narrower cut. I need to put prescription inserts into the shoe. They fit perfectly in my Bondi 7s but do not fit in my 8s. I have had to put Dr Scholl's inserts in the shoes for now but they aren't going to cut it for long. Hope you will go back to the cut of the interior and the sole in Bondi 9s. I need to wear my shoes to work every day.

I don't like the Bondi 8 at all. I have worn Hokas for years and love the Bondi 7 design much better. I returned these and bought The Clifton 9 instead.

The show are not comfortable at all I only wear them for few times and it hurts my feet.can I exchange them for more comfortable shoes?
