Stay away from these shoes. Elastic impedes any easy way to put them on.

This shoe runs very narrow. I normally maybe need a 2e in a 10. Ordered a 10 no way to short and not wide enough ordered a 10.5 2e felt good until walking in them for a week feel like I am walking on the rubber of the outside sole. Probably should of went with a extra wide but they felt good for the first 5 days until the sole started to settle. Expect to need a wide.

These have either been used or something else, it's my second time exchanging. There's clear evidence of it having been dirtied and cleaned. I'm just trying to get new shoes and this is frustrating now it's the second exchange

The shoe is comfortable and fits true to size but the black rubber sole is completely pealing off of the toe with less than a month of wear.

For several years I have continuously bought Bondi 7's but since they are no longer available I bought the 8's a week or to ago. My whole body hurts especially my left foot. These shoes are a different cut in both the toe box and heel making the fit different. Unfortunately I dont think I will be buying Hoka's any longer.

Terrible. After wearing these for a few weeks, and hoping they would get as comfortable as my Bondi 7s, It did not work out. My feet were killing me! Now with Zappos return policy, I am stuck working directly with HOKA, because they are worn, and I do not have the original box. So much for a 365 day return policy!

We purchased a pair for my son who works multiple jobs and he has to stand up average 8 hours a day. We selected wide pair but it's tighter than usual and his feet are not extra wide or unusual. We strongly felt that this pair we received isn't brand new pair. Either it was used as a demo in the shop or someone returned it after trying out for few days. We say that because, this isn't the first shoe pair we ever brought. My niece who worked for footlocker in the past has same opinion. It's shameful that they ripped us off. I will never buy again neither will recommend them.

Shoes came with 2 different size laces, one of them being almost too short to tie. Contacted customer service and they told me they couldn't send me a new pair of laces. They said the only option would be to send the shoes back for an exchange. This seems like a lot of extra work on my part for something they could remedy easily. Very disappointed with Hoka.

I have ordered from Zappos for years and they have been great. I hadn’t ordered in awhile but decided to purchase my new Hoka Bondi 8s from them. I was so disappointed to find that the shoes had obviously been worn with dirt on the entire bottom and at various other places. So upset since I needed them quickly.

Not sure if it is the arch support but felt very hard & uncomfortable in one of the shoes. I always wear a size 9 but these were too big & floppy. Sending them back

I have previously used Hoka Clifton 8s and loved them. Was looking for a somewhat similar shoe to run my first marathon which is scheduled for 10/08/2023. Unfortunately, after the first wear, during and after, I felt discomfort in the instep arch of my right foot. I thought maybe I needed to just break them in so I have run in them 8 times for a total of 47 miles but the pain continues.

So I tried the same shoe (Bondi 8) on in a store to check for fit, then ordered through the mail. I have worn out my Bondi 5 shoes (they were great). The length was good, but the toe box was much too narrow in the new shoes I bought. They are unwearable. I don't think the sizing was consistent. There was no attached method or address to return the shoes. So now I have to find someone who can wear this size shoe that wants the shoe. I am completely dissatisfied and will not buy Hoka shoes ever again.

Got my new shoes open the box and it looks like somebody had already had them for a couple of days. They just threw them in the box without putting the soul supports in and not putting the paper around them. Big surprise thought that they were a classy establishment. First time buyer last time buyer.

You can get the wide or the extra wide and it won't matter these shoes are not for people with wide feet. There is a high and hard plastic arch on the midsole. Anyone with wide feet will feel pain as it continuously jams into your arch with every step. It doesn't get better.

My family all bought bombi 8 for our trip to Disney world. They were broken in a few weeks before our trip. My son and wife got many blisters while I found a different brand I brought to be much more comfortable.

I have 15 pairs. My favorite is Bondi 7. Bondi 8, no bueno. Feels like I am wearing boots. It will take you a lot to bring me back.

This shoe is VERY poorly designed. The tongue is very firmly attached to a strap on only 1 side BUT it does not have any stretch to it. 2 different people tried on this show with the same result. The tongue absolutely will no go on the top of your arch stubbornly insists on being at a 45* angle to the side. Also side not cut properly and massively cuts into the outside of your ankle.
