This shoe was immediately comfortable and easy to get on. I have yet to take it out for miles test, but for strolling it has been great. It has a really solid base with good tread. It should work really well when things get slick.

The closest shoe to this one that I own, from a 'soft and pillowy' feel, was a competitor shoe that has the name "Air" in the model name, which I got on sale for half the cost of the Bondi. I've had those about 3 years and use them for walking, normal shoe wearing, and to do aerobics at the gym. They pretty well did the job and I even used them as my walking shoe during a 2 week UK vacation. The HOKA Bondi 8 is in the same vein but much more comfortable and 'pillowy' in feel. The shoe is larger than that other shoe and once I got used to the new feel (and feeling about a 1/2 inch taller), I really like them. They are also stylish and an obvious upgrade from the that previous shoe. I did think twice about spending that much money for the Bondi, but am happy with the purchase. I'm not a runner, so I can't talk to these being running or recovery shoes. But I would buy the Bondi again if need arises.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance. I do not recommend Nike.

I am a resident physician and am on my feet for 80 hours a week, and the Bondi 8 is the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn in the hospital. Granted, I used to just buy cheap shoes and would wear them until they fell apart, but these shoes are amazing. They have so much more cushion than other shoes that are popular among healthcare workers. My feet aren't sore at all at the end of my shift and the color options are so great (I get a lot of compliments on the pink ones). My only complaint would be that they don't come out with enough colors more often! I recommend them to everyone. Just bought the new gold ones and I'm so excited.

Mostly for walking.
Only recommendation is tone down the colors.

The shoe was a bit snug at first when i tried them on and hurt the outside of my feet but after a few runs they are perfect! The cushioned in these shoes are for sure unmatched.

Just went to Sedona. What a comfortable shoe. Best shoe for a 58 year old couple to wear hiking 10 miles a day.

First pair was to narrow, that's on me, I've gained weight and should have ordered a wide. The replacement process was easy, the exchange came fast and fit perfect!

I walk about 1.25 miles a day. Shoes are very comfortable and wide enough in the toe box. Please do not change.

I'm on like my 8th pair of Hokas now...between the Bondi 7 and Bondi 8.... and while I like the 7s for some reasons the 8s generally exceed them in almost every aspect... the 7s were a bit wider in the arch but beyond that the 8s are better overall. I wear a 4E so the Bondi is the only Hoka I've worn as others only comes in 2E... but compared to other 4E brands options on the market like New Balance and Sketchers, who are the only ones that offer actual running/walking shoes in 4E the other brands offer casual the Hoka wins hands down. I don't run but I walk and have some foot problems like PF and a bad Achilles...I also have bad knees and Hoka were originally suggested by my doctor. After a year of wearing the same 2 Pairs they finally were beat down so I got 2 more pairs... they are nearly the perfect sneaker I love the wide base and soft cushion. If I had to nitpick I'd wish they were a tad wider in the arch and toebox but they are better than most 4E shoes and some are too wide and sloppy. They are really great everyday shoes and at this point I won't wear anything else. I wish they came in more colorways for the X-wide... I've had the Mist/yellow and now I have the Sharkskin now and a black pair for occasions I need black shoes... I didn't like the Sharkskin at first but in person they're really nice.

I love the Bondi 8. I work 9 hours a day on concrete floors. They feel like I'm walking on a pillow.

I bought these for my 94-year-old dad to help with balance and cushioning and he loves them. I couldn't be happier!

I'm on my feet at work and the cushion is great in these! I'm still using my previous pair (grey Bondi 7's) from last year for casual wear, but the cushion was getting a little worn out for my work environment. Still plenty left in it for walking/hiking. It would be really nice to have more options for EEEE width sizes!

I walk alot at work and needed a shoe that would give me comfort for long hours and Hoka Bondi (in black) seems to work for now. I had to order a men's 9 wide because a women's wide in 10 didn't fit so well.
