Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I've never had more painful shoes in my life. Tried to wear them for 1/2 hour but couldn't do it. Even sitting down they hurt me mercilessly.

Bought my husband shoes for Father's Day. He needed a wide so I sent back for an exchange. That part was great, got the new pair with in a week. BUT the sole of the new shoes is already coming apart. And what I see is that since I have already exchanged them once that now they are not eligible for exchange. So now he's got a messed up (not cheap) shoes

I've been wearing Bondi's forever but this design is much too short and narrow. Had to send them back. Wanted to love the new design but will have to go up a whole size since they are not as wide in the toe box as the Bondi 7.

Shoe feels too spongy. Not good for problem fet.

This is the second pair of Hola Bondi I have purchase. The first pair was great. I stand on my feet 5 to 6 hourr 4 days a week. This second pair cause real pain in my right foot. They do not seem as soft and cushion as the first pair. I have gone bad to wearing the first pair.

My soles were splitting and falling apart after a one hour trip to the grocery store. I had to return them. Very disappointing.

Bought for my son and in less than a week the right shoe started tearing. Horrible quality especially for the price.

I purchased three different widths of shoes and all of them all too tight. You should have a size specifically for people that use an orthotics insert.

Could not even get my foot into it.

I'm 81 and was hoping these shoes would help me walk better. Not so. They make me feel like I'm losing my balance and am about to fall.

I was told to get these ,I had Clifton's 7 and they lasted forever , but man I was excited to get these for work 1 week in 3m on toe on left side falls off ! I was blown away that the mid sole is falling apart just not impressed I walk a lot so idk if that's the problem I thought this was a running shoe?

I don't know what happened with these shoes. I ended up with blisters on the insides of both feet and big toes. It's never happened with any pair of shoe before.

Bondi 6 were great, Bondi 7 were great, Bondi 8 is no good. I had Bondi 7 in 14/4E, perfect fit, comfortable, fine. I cannot find a Bondi 8 that replicates the fit of the Bondi 7. Too big, too small, never right. Why change? You are driving me away. PS. "your rating" is not working. Rating is one.

Product is not soft with no arch support

Too small and narrow

It's too bulky and short in the food area. The front foot is way to wide but the actual part of the foot that is wide is not wide in the shoe.

They hurt my feet

Way too narrow in the mid sole. Hurt my feet to wear them.

When my bondi 7 wore out I was disappointed I could not find another in my size, but decided to go with the bondi 8 instead. I was not able to try them on as no one in town carried my size. I was happy that they were available in 4E now so I ordered them on line. They are not the same or even close to the same, I thought at first they just need a little breaking in but worth each day my feet felt worse. The bondi 7 were like a miracle for me as I am on my feet 10+ hours a day but I cannot even get through 4 hours now without my feet hurting so bad. I ended up going to the store and finding a different brand of shoe to wear. Bring back the bondi 7 and I will wear them again but I cannot wear the bondi 8 any more. Such a waste on money.

I was recommended for this shoe in particular by your reps and multiple chats online with you guys. I am on my feet 10 plus hrs a day and I needed a high arch. This shoe is nothing as recommended. There in no arch whatsoever and it is a heel bearing shoe. Terrible, I took your recommendations and believed you guys ordered before my business trip and my feet are killing me. Yes they are soft but that is it. No support for arches, no support to maintain correct posture, totally heel bearing horrible shoes. Coming from merrils to this is terrible and now my hokas are used for outside yard work and I regret wearing them for that but I just spent 165 on them. Smh

I got these for my husband who has a lot of back problems. They fit ok for a wide, just narrow at big toe area and causing some irritation. He needs shoes or I would send them back. He's going to try and push through it. As far as comfort he thinks they feel very cushioned and support his ankle well.

The shoe, although the right size and width, was uncomfortatble and caused leg pain.

The shoes hurt my arches. Way too narrow in the mid foot.
