Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I'm dissapointed in my new Bondi 8. When I put my foot into my Bondi 7 for the first time, I felt like I was walking on a pillow. The 8 is much stiffer and lacks the cushion. I'd rather wear my old Bondi 7 then my new 8.

I bought Bondi 8. Great support and dont feel like cardboard like other top brand sneakers. I also went outside the box of black/black and got outerspace blue looks great with jeans. I also bought the Anacapa Breeza low & Clifton 8 for my daughter's they both love them. Breeze low beige with peach goes perfect with summer. daughters quoted. I started last yr when i bought me the Slides 2 .By far in my 49yrs best slides ever not even close . I don't wanna take off .

I ordered the Bondo 8 10.5EE US and they were tight and they were to narrow at the instep. So I exchanged for 10.5EEEE US and the instep was still to narrow for my left foot. It was irritating my instep. So at this point I want to return them, however when I try to print a return label it says they are not eligible for return???? I do not understand why since it does not give me a reason. I meet all the requirements or return. Please explain.

After fast paced walking 5 miles I had blisters on the inside of both of my heels!

Both of my new (3 week) squeak with every step. I should contact HOKA.

Comfort and feel of the 8 is just not up to par. This is my 7th or 8th pair of Bondi and I will now check out other brands to see if I can find anything that works as well for me as the 7s and before did. Bummer.

The sides of the shoe ride too high and hurt the ankle bone

Over priced Skechers .

My feet are killing me after running in these shoes. I tried walking in them today but the same thing happened. My feet just ache. I had read so much about them and others have had good luck. Unfortunately I did not.

Should have better arch support

After standing for less than 10 minutes my feet hurt feels like they're going over the edge. I bought the 9.5 4e

I love this specific model of the shoe, but the pair that I received feel really odd and I wish I could exchange it for another pair.

I thought they would be softer. Returned them

I am a huge Hoka fan, I own many pairs since I'm on my feet all day as a medical provider. The Bondi 7's were my favorite so I got these but these have killed my feet. I think it's just my foot type, I have a low arch and the arch support on these shoes are too high so it has destroyed my arches. I would only recommend these if you have a higher arch.

They don't make my feet feel any better than $40 sketchers I have.

Not a great shoe for any prolonged standing or walking - would not want to have to wear for more than a few hours.

it was too large need 13 not 14

First bought bondi 7 were too narrow,purchased bondi 8 ee fit great

I was talked into ordering a pair of the Bondi 8 shoes, because I have such trouble with my knees and lower back. Since wearing the Bondi 8 shoes everyday for several weeks, my leg pain has increased and the swelling in my legs has, what feels like, exponentially increased. I am back to walking with the support of a cane at 61 years old.

Bought these as they have good cushioning for my bad knees. The support in them is very bad though. As you moved the whole sneaker would flex side to side so you felt very unstable. My classmates in my boot camp class were commenting on it as well as they could see it happening.

For this price, this shoe is disappointing. Two items in particular. One, the insole seam pushes into the arch of my foot. That seam should be smoother or covered by the insole. Secondly, the shoe is noisy. The right show in particular squeaks when I walk (fun walking through a quiet room). I assume something is rubbing that shouldn't be (i.e. something didn't get adhered properly). I hope they hold up but I'm worried they won't. For the money, this shoe should be issue free and comfortable as all get out, but it's not.

Heel was entirely too squishy and unsupportive. Arch support was in the wrong place and immediately made them unwearable
