Love my Hoka 8 shoes! Like walking and running on clouds! Size 13 wide are a perfect fit for my big feet!
So comfortable I exercise over 3 hours watching football on TV!

Excellent shoes, easy to walk in and they help protect my arthritic knees, which need good shoes.

The Bondi 8 felt a little tighter than my past Bondi's including the Bondi 7's.

Great footwear for my aching feet. I feel no pain whoever I'm wearing my new Hoka's. No need for me to add the specialty insoles I must wear with all my other shoes and sneakers

Fits the same as the Bondi 7. Delivers all the cushion you would hope for (my back and hips thank you) but isn't heavy.

This is my second pair of Hoka's. I bought the Bondi 8's to wear on my vacation to France. We averaged 5-8 miles of walking each day on cobble stone sidewalks and climbed hills the Hoka performed outstandingly. They are the most comfortable and well fitting shoes I own. I've already recommended them to friends and acquaintances.

Love this model. Light weight, super plush upper and the cushion is exactly what is expected from Hoka.

Having bought and owning three pairs of Bondi 7 shoes, all used for runs/walks of 5-9 miles, I thought to try the Bondi 8.
While the cushioning is great, the Bondi 7 shoes are more comfortable and nicer fitting right out of the box and onto the street. The Bondi 8 feels much tighter and I think it will take several more outing before it fits me as comfortably as the Bond 7.

My left ankle was rebuilt and my right is arthritic. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars looking for a shoe that will feel good to walk in and provide stability to help alleviate most of my pain. These shoes have made it so I can walk almost normal again. I’ve purchased a second pair.

This shoe is the ultimate comfort shoe. I walk four miles daily in the Arizona heat and the Montana cold, and these shoes perform exceptionally well in both environments. I've tried all the name brand shoes over that last 20 years and the Bondi is superior to all of them.

These are absolutely the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I work on a concrete surface all day and these are worth every penny.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and after one day in Hokas they're singing the praise for the first time in years! I've been through a lot of shoes, all the popular brands none of them are unique like Hokas. Most shoes claim to be wide, they aren't. Most shoes claim to have comfortable inserts, they don't. The Bondi 8 is the first pair of shoes that I do not need to buy an insert for. I have a high arch and almost every pair of shoes I buy, I have to buy high arch inserts. Well, the Bondi 8 already has that support right in the design. The extra wide model was just wide enough, although snug, gives me the support I needed. These are so light you barely know they're in your feet, but keep in mind there is a break in period. Just keep wearing them, you have 30 days to return them.
I don't regret spending the money, and I bought my girlfriend a pair. So that says something. We are happy Hoka owners! I am sure you will be too.

I keep buying shoes, trying to find that pair that will enable me to do my errands (all on cement floors) without crippling me for the next two days. (Big foot issues.) After hours of perusing Hoka's offerings and reviews, I decided to try the Bondi 8. Since manufacturers still haven't figured out that women with wide feet really resent that the manufacturers snub us by really limiting their wide shoes for women, I now shop for men's shoes and found that the men's 8.5w fits me perfectly (used to wear women's 10ww or equivalent). (And don't get me started on "unisex" sizing; guess the manufacturers are just feelin' a bit lazy.) Anyway.... the Bondi 8 in men's 8.5w, as I said, fits perfectly. HOWEVER (you knew that was coming), as springy as it is, it offers nothing in metatarsal cushioning and arch support. So I've spent $60 more for insoles that arrive today and I hope beyond hope they'll do the job. Still, I'm very soured on shopping for women's wide shoes -- hear that, Hoka and Skechers and OOfos and Brooks and Birkenstock and Kork-Ease and Born and all the others?

The bondi 8 feels less cushy as the bondi 7 .
I walk miles a day at work on concrete floors and bondi 7 has saved my life .
I got the bondi 8 and it feels flatter , less bouncy .
My feet actually hurt a bit after a day at work and they never hurt with the bondi 7 .

The Bondi 8's are not as comfortable as the Bondi 7's. Doesn't feel like they have as much cushion in the sole of the shoe. I'm a Bondi 7 fan for life.
