Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I found the shoe to be too narrow and not comfortable

Or I got a defective pair. Hardly any cushion, not comfortable like my previous pairs.

I recently purchased a pair of Hoka sneakers, and unfortunately, I've been experiencing some discomfort in my calf. The issue seems to be related to the design of the shoe, as the front part of my foot sits higher than my heel. This uneven foot position has led to strain and discomfort in my calf muscles during walking and running. While the cushioning and overall support of the Hoka sneakers are commendable, this specific design element has been a significant drawback for me. I've tried adjusting the fit and lacing, but the issue persists. I want to emphasize that everyone's feet are unique, and what may not work for me might be suitable for others. However, I believe it's essential to highlight this specific aspect of the shoe's design for those who have similar foot mechanics or concerns. I would recommend potential buyers to carefully consider their foot shape and walking/running style before purchasing this particular Hoka model. It may be beneficial to try them on in-store or consult with a footwear specialist to ensure the best fit and alignment for individual needs. Ultimately, finding the right shoe fit is crucial for comfort and preventing discomfort or injuries. While the Hoka brand is known for its quality and innovation, this specific model did not meet my expectations due to the uneven foot position and subsequent calf discomfort. I hope this review provides helpful insights to those considering the purchase.

I guess it's my fault for expecting a different style to provide a better result, but I have to replace my Hoka's inside of 6 months every time I buy a pair. The heal always gets worn through. I know I work out hard, but aren't these shoes supposed to be built for that?

I have been a long time Bondi wearer given I love the plush cushioning they afford while being extremely light. Unfortunately, the redesigned Bondi 8'S I bought are less wide than its predecessors and the amount of cushioning is dramatically less. I hope it is just this one pair of Bondi's because they have been my "go to" sneaker.

I use these for work. I first bought the Hoka One One which were Fabulous ! I figured the Bondi 8 was the same, but that was not the case, my Achilles is hurting again , one shoe made my foot turn outward and my little toe was going over the sole. My back and hip started hurting after only 2 weeks. Please make the Hoka One One's again it was perfection

The shoes were not comfortable very stiff cushion preferred Bondi 7 shoe

Loved my Biondi 7's. Great fit and correct support and comfortable. Not so Biondi 8. Fit OK, but poor support, uncomfortable and no cushy feel that was the best part of the Biondi 7. As per other reviews, Hope this does not continue in the 9 series, and goes back to the winner Biondi 7. ASICS had similar problem with their 2000 series, which for years was terrific. They then changed that winning glory to a dud, which lost them many customers.

The shoe hurt my feet. I inquired about returning the shoes to get a different type under the 30day warranty. I was told that I could not do a return. Unless I wanted to get the same pair. I could not return because of the payment method I used. That should not matter.I feel it's unfair considering how much they charge for these shoes. Very displeased.

Ordered the extra wide shoes still didn't fit the left. shoe was narrower than the pair I ordered before that were just wide very poor quality control. They have the inability to figure out how to make a product to the proper width to the industry standards. I have used a similar company that makes othropedic shoes and I only wear a standard D width

They didn't fit right I had to return them

Wore them for 6 hrs and feet never hurt so bad. Highly disappointed but, I guess these are not the shoe for me. My son and friends love them and talked me into trying them. Waiting on my credit back

The comfort is not there like others especially in the nursing field!

The elastic band from the arch to the tongue is a terrible design

Color is great but that's about all

Everyday

The extra wide shoe did not fit. It hurt the outside of my foot so I had to return both shoes. I try to find another extra wide shoe on your website and couldn't find one. Returning the shoes was very easy.

I purchased these shoes to help with plantar fasciitis but when i wore them, the back of my left heel started hurting worse than any of the flareups. Something between the Hoka shoes and the support my feet require didnt work out.

This style ultimately did not work for me. It lead to lower back pain after 5 hours of wearing.

Got two different sized shoes in the box, still waiting for Hoka to make it right. Despite them having my money.

Waste of money for me. This show was very uncomfortable and had my feet hurting so bad I had to put another cushion in them but still uncomfortable to wear. Better off wearing my Sketchers or Brooks

I returned them.the first day I'm still waiting on refund

These shoes are the most uncomfortable of any shoe I've purchased from HOKA. I was very disappointed with this shoe

I purchased 2 Bondi 8's in size 10.5 and they were too small. I had purchased 3 Bondi 7's in the same size and they fit perfectly. When I called to exchange them, they said you did not have any 11's or 10.5 wide. pretty disappointed.
