Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I got this shoes because they were recommended to me since I do a lot of daily walking and running, let me tell you, this are the bulkiest shoes I've ever seen for walking, too big, to heavy and absolutely no support, it hurts my feet everytime I wear them and I have only wore them twice.

Hello I actually have two pairs of these shoes and love them but this time I bought a little more of a expensive shoe for standing up long for long periods of time which is required for my job unfortunately these shoes hurt my feet more then flip flops. Please don't sell these shoes to anyone else cause I'd feel bad for the money they wasted and the pain they will feel while wearing them. Thank you

The shoe fit and feel are great and I believe this will work function-wise. However, I am very unhappy with the grey colorway. I have complete buyers remorse for the color I chose. Someone might say that I could simply send the shoes back and exchange for another color but I live in Hawaii and shipping to send back is not free by any means. For now, aside from the two times I tried the shoes on, they are sitting in a box. I may just buy another pair in a different color or go with the 7's.

Ordered my size and it was like a boa-constrictor was on my foot.

The 4E extra wide isn't as wide as a true 4e. They feel just like a regular 2e Clifton. People with wide feet and medical conditions turn to Hokas just to find out the shoe wasn't wide enough. I even tried shoe stretches and shoe stretcher spray and they did not widen out. Bottom line is the 4E isn't a true 4E because I ended up buying the New Balance 860 in a 4E and Tadaaaaa! No brainer. Unless Hoka makes a 6E in the Bondi8 or makes it a true 4E, I will continue to buy the New Balance.

Didn't like it

one shoe had an area of the sole extending into the interior of the shoe, making the shoe unusable

the shoes were retuned today Tracking number 9202 3901 0072 8200 0004 9074 43 I ordered 1/2 size bigger and they were still too small. Not only that they were not cushioney enough to be worn all day on a concrete floor. My feet would be killing me.

I bought these because I thought I can run in them. But they are so bad for running

The left shoe had a defect in the right front part where the sesamoid sits as it felt like that part had no support and my foot was dropping into it.

Anyone needing truly wide shoes, not wide toe boxes, should search elsewhere. Hola has changed their design and the mid shoe is just as narrow as a regular width.

I've worn multiple Bondi models starting with the 5. The main reason I originally started wearing Hokas is due to a bad back, bad knees, and other mobility issues. However, the 8 is so unstable due to new rounded sole design that I feel like I'm gonna fall. I had to return. Hoka, you messed up a good thing.

So I got these shoes and honestly they made my feet hurt. I don't think Hooka has the material research like Nike does to make quality shoes. They are uncomfortable and get dirty extremely quickly like after a week they looked like they were 1 year old. Hoka is a waste of money. I should have returned them but now I know why they don't allow returns after 30 days. Stay away.

I have had these shoes for less than 2 months and they are falling apart. The rubber seperates and the sole is coming off. Not worth the price

Bought for comfort and have never had a pair of shoes hurt my feet so bad.

Not as comfortable as others and broke first day.

My coworkers swear by this brand but did not help me at all. My feet hurt just as bad. I replaced the inserts and that has helped tremendously. Feet still hurt not as bad without these inserts I put in them. I probably won't buy these again just cause they wasn't no better than the other pair (different brand) I use. I also am on concrete 8 to 9 hrs a day. So since the cushion wasn't there like it had ya believe it is it gets a 1 star.

Not as easy on the knees and back if you're a runner than the Bondi 7. Too bad they've discontinued the earlier model

I have been a dedicated Hoka wearer for many years . I had plantar fasciitis since the 1980's and wore orthotics. Based on the recommendation of a top podiatrist in Chicago I purchased Hoka Bondi. Things were great for years until the change in construction and design in Bondi 8. They actually CAUSE PAIN not help. Bondi 8 are not as plush and do not provide the arch support feel of 7 and under besides looking like a snowshoe or ping pong paddle. I wouldn't even care about the front bulbous look if the feel was the same as Bondi 7 and 6. Now I have to switch after wearing Hoka for many years without pain . Now that Kuru has restyled their shoes l am forced to buy them . Once again Bondi 8 gets a big thumbs down!! Probably economic reasons decrease the plush and feel.

I have the exact same shoe just different color so I decided to order this color and wore them for 8 hours at work and hurt my feet so bad that I had to send them back.

I have had over 20 pairs of Bondi 7's. The best shoe I've ever worn. The new Bondi 8's have hurt my feet so bad that I can't hardly walk.
