Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Ordered the wide and didn't fit and returned them for the extra wide and still didn't fit right and the website would not allow me to return the second pair for a refund and it has been less than 30 days

Returned the same day I received it. Size ran too small.

These turned out not to be for me. Too high a platform, feel like elevator shoes, and the site won't let me return.

Love Hoka and have been buying them for several years and many previous Bondi models. But whatever changes were made to the Bondi 8 do not agree with my feet. Although I keep thinking the more I wear them, maybe they will break in more and feel like the previous versions, but so far they keep aggravating my feet. Unfortunately, will have to discard this pair and buy a different shoe.

Too bulky. They look too wide on me. I love Hoka, I have purchased 8 pairs already and have encouraged my co workers to do the same. I am a Hoka advocate! I just did not like the Bondi 8. I own 4 pairs of Bondi 7.

I hate to say I have been very unhappy - I have worn New Balance in the past with my wide foot but I thought I would try Hoka - even though I ordered an extra wide - they hurt my feet so much I can not wear them any more Dave

These shoes were for walking. I thought that the Bondi 8 would be similar to the Bondi 7. There is no comparison. There is no cushioning in the 8 vs the 7. I often wonder why companies try to change which is a good seller in order to save money. There are a lot of negative reviews on the lack of cushioning.

Good afternoon, I am a Hoka user, I have used the clifton edge, match 4, clifton 8 and I bought the bondi 8 because I like to try new models. In this model, strangely, the shoe is beginning to show its seam on the inside of the shoe with the little use I have given it. Very strange because it has been excellent with the other models that I had tried.

J bought 2 pairs of bondi 8s, and something is wrong with this one. My boring all grey pair is great as usual, but the left shoe on this pair is out of wack somehow and my foot, ankle, knee, hip, and back are all super sore by the end of my 12 hour shift. Hoping the exchange goes well!

The bottom is very comfortable but the ankle support is terrible. I had to get low tops because none of the high tops come in wide which makes no sense. I have a birth defect in my right foot where I need the ankle support. I have tripped several times because the lack of support for my ankle.

I have several pair of Bondi 6's which I love. I bought a Bondi 7 which was no where near as soft/cushioned as the Bondi 6. The Bondi 7 sits in my closet because I can't wear them. Hope springs eternal and I bought the Bondi 8 hoping for the plushness of the Bondi 6 but unfortunately it's better than the Bondi 7 but still not very close to the Bondi 6. I had the same problem with the early Cliftons, the later versions lost the plushness of the early models. I really don't understand why Hoka can't leave a popular model well enough alone! I will be looking into other brands.

I work in a heath care environment for 12 plus hours a night, 5 to 6 days a week. I bought these thinking they would help. The outer sides of my feet are in constant pain when wearing them. I've had this pair for about 3 weeks, and they get worse every night I wear them. Disappointment doesn't begin to describe it.

I have 1 pair of Bondi 7 and 2 pairs of Clifton 7, both shoes are so much better than the new Bondi 8, I wore them a couple days and did not like them at all. What a shame to see the Bondi line take a step backwards. Exchanged them for a pair of Cliftons.

Wore a hole through the upper in less than 4 months. Slightly narrower than expected. These were Bondi 7.

The 8's overall fit is not great at all. Too tight, seems to have lost the depth in the shoe, material seems cheap.

Great fit and comfortable for long walks with my dog!

It is a beautiful product, but does not work for me. It is not wide enough!

The Bondi 7 is as good a running shoe as I have found, so I naturally thought the Bondi 8 would be even better. Wrong! The wide shoes (4-E) make the shoe look wider than they are long, and they are not only weird looking but not better in any way than the 7's. Problem is the 7's are no where to be found. I couldn't recommend the Bondi 7's and higher, they are near perfect. The 8's ought to have been an improvement, they are not, and HOKA should continue offering the 7's in wide sizes along with the 8's.

I saw a lot of my coworkers in the hospital using Hoka so I got curious. I bought the Bondi 8 hoping that this will be the shoes that I need. I have plantar fasciitis so I expect this will help a lot. First day of use. Blisters on both my toes and on the inner side of my left foot. The squeaking sound when you walk. Not good if you work night shift, it's noisy. Sure cusiin is great, but I'm extremely unsatisfied. Too bad I threw away my old shoes when I got his one.

I have the bondi 8 ,size 14 wide .My size is 13 1/2 .this shoe causes pain in my knees when i walk in them.i purchased some inserts but nothing helps with the pain in my knees when i walk in the bondi8.i really wish i could exchange them for another shoe.

I love the Bondi, but Hoka changes their shoes way too often when their earlier iterations are better. The extra wide with the red and yellow trim made it look and feel like I was wearing Ronald McDonald clown shoes. I'm now in between the wide and extra wide sizes.

Way too much cushion on the heal.

Hurt my feet after wearing. Not the same as Bondi 7. Returned. Hoping they fix the problem.
