at first I liked that they made me feel taller, but the sole is extremely uncomfortable to walk in... after only a few days I no longer where them

these shoes squeaked when I walked in them. No other pair of Hoka's have ever done that. Also, the cushioning is less than previous pairs of Hokas I have purchased. Seems like the quality is declining over time.

Although the shoe I ordered was wide , it felt tight across the top. I'm going to get a 1/2 size larger shoe

Can't believe they did away with the Bondi 7. I would have bought 5 pairs if i'd known.

Felt strangely as if heel of foot was pointed downward when wearing this shoe. It aggravated knee (already a problem knee but not usually bothered by trying on shoes for 2-3 minutes). Felt better about New Balance 840 and Altra Olympus 2.

Super weird I tried it at the store but didn't like the color. Went for the wide. Checked wit the store people and they said I shud wear a 10.5 US. They didn't have my color so I ordered it online and brought the black on black and brought it back to indonesia where I live. I used it once and my feet hurt so much where I can't wait to take off these shoes. It's supposed to be a cushioned shoe and all I feel is pain everywhere. It's super snug at the back and the mid sole. Now I can't return them because I live on the other sid e of the world. My recommendation try the shoe, walk around a while with them, sit down with them, and if you start feeling pain like I did, don't buy them and try sizing up which is probably what I should have done. I never review shoes but I feel I needed to share this information.

Size 11 returned for 11.5 both too narrow. Only buy this shoe in the store where you can try on different sizes.

I love Hoka's, and Bondi are the best for my feet. I would have loved to have kept these, but I was sent a mens 8 rather than a women's 8.

The shoes actually created minor pain in long past metatarsal injury that I had never experienced. I attribute that not only to the amount of cushioning which increases flexation, but also in what I perceived to be a distribution of weight towards my front inside foot. Strange.

This product is not the same as when I purchased it in January 2023. My first pair I could walk all day with no pain. This pair does not have the same cushion

Not able to use these this year. The 7 was great as it accommodated my super wide feet. The 8 is much narrower. Had to move on from Hoka, very disappointed.

This is my third pair of bindi 8. My first 2 pairs were good. This pair makes me over pronate. My feet hurt. The fit is bad. For 4E width, they are tight. I had to stop wearing and let my ankle/heel recover. Very disappointed. I’m now looking for a replacement wide running shoe to deal with pronate.

The order was cancelled due to I don't know what. I ended up buying gravity defyer. It's possible I may stay with them since availability is better in my sizes. Plus, I can get additional colors. With HOKA I can only get black or grey in 10.5 extra wide. Very disappointed. Additionally, I have Bondi 7 and 8. Bondi 7 is waaaaaaaay better shoe. Maybe the engineers think the 8 is better but they may have perfect feet. I have arthritis and I'm not a skinny runner type person, I stay on my feet at least eight hours a day working outside.

You can get way better that this one at an affordable price. Find something else. Not always the expensive ones are good.

Using their size guide, I was excited to have great shoes! They did not perform to their reputation. What's worse is that I paid for overnight delivery, it came 2 days later, and they would not refund the shipping.

They way the shoe is shaped it rubbed against both my ankles and was very uncomfortable. I had tried a different model HOKA in the past and had the same problem.

Everyone recommended this shoe for its comfort. It wasn't. Was to snug and uncomfortable. Returned and purchased bigger and wider size, didn't help. Still was uncomfortable. Returned

Since I start wearing them I'm having a very bad lower back pain that is killing me constantly, I'm a nurse and I have to be standing up 18 hours a day I thought they were going to be the sneakers perfect for me but unfortunately they were not.
