Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

The shoes aren't made for wide feet. Not even close

I was so excited for these shoes to arrive. The day they arrived, I went out for a walk and they pinched my foot in multiple spots. I have large bunions and these shoes are not good for large bunions. These were returned!

These shoes are stiff and not soft or squishy like the bondi 7. Will not buy again. Looking to find bondi 7 on line.

Shoes ccame with two different size shoe strings, one was too small to tie the shoe, so I haven't worn them yet. I haven't had time to go and buy new shoe strings.

I have purchased numerous pairs of Bondi's. All. but one pair I own the mesh on top off foot tear. Disappointing.

tongue is bound to bottom on one side with a gusset. my high arch and wide foot pulls the tongue off center to the point where it is unwearable. looks like a good shoe if your foot happens to fit the gusset size - otherwise the tongue will either pull off center or the gusset will bunch up inside the shoe.

I loved my Bondi 7s. They gave me great support and were very durable. Because of my experience with the 7s, I bought a pair of 8s online. Big mistake. The 8s are flimsy, give no support, and seem to be made of very inexpensive materials.

Bottom of sole is coming off after 20 days. Website says I'm ineligible for a return even though it's been less then 30 days. Very comfortable but not durable. Perhaps I got a defective pair. Won't let me upload pics...just keeps loading.

This type had too much arch support and it hurt my back after wearing them for 30 minutes. Return process was very good.

I bought these shoes for my boyfriend not even thirty days of him wearing the shoes, the shoe tore apart from the bottom half of the sole like they were ten dollar shoes. He said they felt great but was shocked they fell apart like that and so fast.

Due to the arch build up on these shoes, they were nowhere near close to a 4E wide and surprisingly uncomfortable. You need a shoe for 4E wearers that accommodates lower arches.

Can't find a 7 that isn't in a goofy color, so I decided to try the 8 (hey, it must be an improvement. right?). A big disappointment. Right off the bat, not as "plush." Yes, better than the competition, but nothing like the comfort of the 7. Also, I don't know what's going on with the tongue or the top of the shoe, but it is causing considerable pain. It doesn't matter if it's too tight or too loose, there are weird pressure points on the top of the foot that makes want to kick these things off after an hour. I guess the 7 is sunsetting ...too bad... that shoe was a real winner.

I ordered a pair of shoes and love the shoe itself. However the extra wide is much wider than other brands and are very loose. I called about returning but was told I had to wait until you receive them and then send out the new pair. This process could take a couple weeks. I needed them for a trip before then so I was forced to keep them.

At first you step in your like wow that's squishy and nice. After wearing them for two weeks at work the outside of my feet ankles and knees ache so bad I'm hobbling. Very disappointed. I was hopeful.

I've been wearing my new Bondi 8 shoes about six weeks now. They already feel like they need replacement. The only improvements I've found are an enhanced arch and laces that stay tied. Gone is the marshmallow-like cushioning and the supportive trim on the sides. These are loose and let my feet roll. I'm not even running in them, I'm just walking on concrete.

I bought the wide (DD). Although the toe box is certainly wider, the mid-shoe is still extremely narrow. Looking at it from the top, it resembles an hourglass shapeunfortunately for us folks with wide feet, we need some additional space across the entirety of the shoenot just the toe box. Otherwise great shoe in construction and potential comfort.

I am a daily runner and I have purchased your Bondi products 6 times. I have bought these as I enjoy the higher level of cushioning and the wider fit. I just bought the Bondi 8 and while they fit great I found them much less cushioned than my previous purchases. So much so it will I will likely look at other brands for my next pair of shoes.

I purchased these shoes because I am on my feet everyday all day. After wearing these for a few weeks, I can say I will no longer be wearing them. I'm a bigger guy and after a couple days my knees and back are killing me. I'll be going back to my other brand. Definitely not comfortable at all.

I ran 2 miles and by the end of the run i was blistering in the middle of my foot.

My Bondi 7 fit perfectly, ordered the same size for Bondi 8 and really disappointed. Not nearly wide enough and the cushion is not as nice.

These shoes were not worth the money. I wore the shoes a week and my feet are killing me. I was hoping this expensive pair would help my feet since I am on my feet all day but didn't make a difference. Very disappointed.

Didn't like them, they weren't comfortable. Bought Altras instead and they are amazing!

The middle foot /arch area is too narrow and my feet get swollen. Even in the Wide version.
