Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Hiking boots are not Hoka strong points. But the plush style shoes are tens. Have owned 6 pairs. Will continue with them.

My third pair

style, comfort

I walk on paved trail everyday about 3 miles. Holding up good after close to 100 miles. Thanks for great quality product.

Finally figured out Bondi 8 is the perfect shoes for me. I tried different styles and I had to returned them. But this one I find it very comfortable for walking and the right fit.

i wear them every day, i just love them.

I work on my feet, 8+ hours a day and these shoes have been my savior. Plan on buying additional pairs for wearing outside of work.

My podiatrist told me "Hoka shoes are the best shoes out there" and demonstrated their design which provides torsional rigidity, heel counter rigidity, and flexion stability. I immediately bought a pair and my feet are happy that I did.

These are the first shoes that have given me relief from my chronic Achilles tendon pain. I have torn both of my tendons and have had multiple surgeries. At times I am unable to go/down stairs and even have trouble walking. These shoes combined with customized inserts have given me the ability to complete daily tasks and activities instead of focusing on the pain. I am a 100% disabled veteran and was extremely agitated because of my loss of mobility and activity. I have started going to the gym again!!!

These are such comfortable shoes!!! I love them!!!!

I wanted to dislike these, truly. I wanted them to not be worth the price tag. And yet here I was, buying a second pair of the Bondi 8 within a week of receiving my first pair. I got the grey pair for work (healthcare), very neutral and clean looking. Cushy without being bulky or heavy. Some of these thick-heeled shoes make me feel like a Clydesdale but these are light and comfy as can be. I over-probate my feet outwards when I walk and it helps stabilize my feet! Later got the terra cotta/purple pair for errands and also love those. The rose pink is surprisingly neutral. I'm usually a 7.5-8, and tried both and was comfier in a size 8. You should be able to fit your finger between your heel and the heel of the shoe without feeling like it's going to break your fingernail.

The title says it all. I am on my feet all day at my job, constantly on the move, standing, including walking up and down stairs. I'm also over 50, so my feet aren't as tough as they were at 25. This is the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever worn. I should note I have 5 pairs of HOKA shoes. Put another way, all of them are as, or more comfortable than any other brand, but the Bondi is the most plush. One could certainly run in these, but if you are a runner I would try the Clifton or Mach before this, or Speedgoat or Challenger if running on trails. I'd recommend the Anacapa or Kaha if hiking, as they have more suited soles.

3rd pair, love these shoes for my walks every day and wearing all day, I won't wear any other brand. My wife has 5 pair of the Clifton 9's. We are a Hoka family!

Love my new shoes. So light and comfortable. Sometimes forget I'm wearing them!

The comfort and width are the most important factors for me. My Hokas check both boxes

Only three selections for extra wide. Why can't there be more?

I run or walk three - five miles a day in my Hokas. They are comfortable and provide great support for my feet and ankles. I recommend them to everyone I know.

I don't usually like to write reviews, but I am making an exception for this shoe. Your Bondi style shoes are great. I originally tried several other shoes but could not walk more than 20 minutes without pain and could not walk on back-to-back days. With the Bondi 8 I can not only walk back-to-back days but also walk up to an hour and a half without pain. My goal is now to get in 12k steps per day. With these additional steps I have burned more calories and have lost 45lbs. Thank you and please keep on producing the high-quality shoes like the Bondi 8 and you will have a customer for life!

As a Coach and Educator, I am on my feet for over 12 hours a day. The Bondi keeps me on my feet without wearing down my strength and lasting over a year without tearing up my budget.

Reduces the irritation resulting from walking on concrete and other hard surfaces. Most comfortable shoe I have ever owned

Bought these for my fianc who has low back pain that is worsened by his job that requires many hours on concrete. His back is much less painful now that he wears these Hoka's to work

For everyday use.

Comfortable and well Sized

I was looking for a shoe to help my plantar fasciitis and wide feet. The Hoka Bondi 8 and a few others were recommended. They all felt fine when I tried them on in store, but I was encouraged to put my orthotics in and that clearly let me decide on the Hoka Bondi 8. All the others lost all of the cushion when I took out the "factory" insoles; the Bondi 8 was still supportive and cushioned. They are like walking on clouds and make me feel like I could start running again. Already planning my next purchase. My only gripe is the color options available for wide feet. Nevertheless I've gotten several compliments on them.

Purchased as a gift- he loves them.
