Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Could not even insert my right foot in a supposedly "EXTRA WIDE" show. Returned immediately. #EPICFail

The top of the shoe box is wrinkly and falls around my feet .this does not happen with my Bondi 7 or earlier Bondi that I have bough for the last five years. My friends do not have this problem with their new Bondi 8

The top of the toe box has loose material that sags and wrinkles around feet when walking. This does not happen with my Bondi 8 or my friends Bondi 9 .

I have gotten my 3rd pair of 8's and continue to be extremely disappointed in the "new improved" shoes. The 7's were perfect and lasted a long time. The 8's soles wear out way quicker, do not fit nearly as well and are clunky. Yes I continue to get them but only until I can find a better shoe. WHY DO companies think they have to change perfectly good shoes? The 8's feel nothing like the 7's. When you put them on, gone is the feel of well rounded shoe and replaced with what feels like a block of wood. I tried buying every pair of 7's in any color I could but now can't find them anymore so I am struck with the 8's my only hope is that they will come out with 9's and return the shoes back more like the 7's.

Shoe tongue design is messed up - it is fixed on one side while the other floats. After lacing up the shoes, the tongue is skewed and makes contact with the shin during running. I had to return the shoes because of that. Did not have that issue with Bondi 7.

I normally wear EE sneakers from New Balance. Thought I would give another brand a try. The Hoka EE shoes literally are too narrow to even get my foot in the shoe.

My doctor recommended Bondi 7 shoes for a foot problem I was having. They worked like a charm. Problem disappeared. I went through two pairs and was extremely satisfied. Now I can't get Bondi 7's anymore. So I bought a pair of Bondi 8's. Bad choice. Two weeks into this new pair and my foot problem is back. Same as before. Very disappointed. It feels like the cushion is already worn out; like I've worn them for six months. Something changed in the new style and it wasn't for the better. These shoes do not work for me.

These shoes are very awkward. I like the colors they come in but on my feet they are huge and look like clown shoes. They are just too big and oversized. They were comfortable for the 5 minutes I wore them. I will have to try a different style as I have heard great things about HOKA but these are just not it!

Hi, I love Hoka sneakers and I have several pairs of the Rhincon 3. For some reason the Biondi's make my feet hurt and do not wear them at all.

Limited use because of toe box issue.

Won't buy again. Had the bondi 8 pair come in way to small and another pair of graviotas and they are starting to peel on the bottom after 1 week

Have been wearing a Hoka for years and got Bondi to try it out. Unfortunately, the support under the arch juts out too much and feels like something is always stick below your feet. After a long walk, it starts hurting. I tried both regular and wide sizes and they were both pretty painful

I love the Bondi 7 and was excited by the Bondi 8 but they have been such a disappointment. They are so expensive and I can't return them since they are on my feet currently. I bought them in wide and the foot box is still to narrow with my feet spilling out on the sides and making it difficult to walk. I have tried different insoles and the problem still is there. They are uncomfortable to be in all day and leave my feet aching. The design is not orthopedic like the 7s PLEASE BRING BACK THE BONDI 7 they were perfect and its so hard to find them now :(

It is SO hard to find shoes that fit my wide feet that have a Taylors bunion. I was hopeful that the ONLY pair of shoes that Hoka sells with 4E last would work because I have several other foot issues that my podiatrist specifically recommended Hokas for. Basically, they look HUGE, but are not roomy enough in the toe box. I'll have to return them.

Does not absorb athletic shock to heel.

I found these - even at 4x width - too narrow in the toe area. Also the insole hurt my instep, even though this was the recommended style for a flat foot.

I had a pair of Bondi 6 and love them but Bondi 8 is totally different experience. They are hard and not as comfortable. Inside sole seem to cut into side of my foot, feels like pinching. Just disappointed

Purchased upon recommendation. Seems like it would be comfortable but the arch doesn't feel right. Downright painful at the end of the day.

I've been trying to love these shoes I have been wearing them for about a month now. My feet hurt after wearing them all day

toe box too small so had to return and order 4E which is ok, a little too big. not as cushioned as bondi 7. Loved Bondi 7!!!!!!!!!!!

It didn't fit so sent it back and exchanged it for a different model. Waiting for it to be received.

I wanted to give this shoe a try, but after running in it once I got quite a few blisters and had to return to my good old Nimbus.
