Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Great for running on the treadmill. Very springy and soft. Tried another brand shoe and not a week later bought Hokas. Shoelaces could be improved.

It's hard to beat Bondi 7 , but I think the 8 does.

They took a few days to break in but now they're my favorite shoes ever. I am a plus size nurse and am on my feet 10+ hours a day. With these, I have no pain in my feet, knees or back. They run true to size and I would suggest getting standard width as wide is a little too wide in my opinion. I will be buying another pair when they shoes are retired!

Love them!

Makes it fun to walk, so amazing. I will buy again.

This is my second pair of Bondi shoes and I adore them. I needed a new pair after putting two years on the other ones. I mainly hike in paved neighborhoods and these shoes offer the perfect amount of support for hard surfaces. I don't even need special insoles because the ones in the shoe are so terrific. Only thing I will say is I needed the EEE size, which I don't typically need in other brands, so be sure to try on first.

They really felt great from the moment I put them on and before I even walked with them!

I use them in everyday walking and at the gym treadmill, elliptical, etc. great all around shoe. Very versatile.

Casual, walking and gym usage.

I use them for daily walks. They're wonderful shoes.

I use these daily in walking and working out. They provide great support.

Great shoes for one who has had a recent knee replacement.

This is my go to shoe for putting in 50+ miles a week. Bondi 8 has some minor but noticeable improvements over the 7.

This is the first time I have worn the Bondi line and I am a huge fan. Ive recently developed plantor fascitits and these shoes were reccomended by a friend. They did not dissapoint. They are extremely comfortable and allow me to walk or stand for hours on end with out pain.

I have a Mortons neuroma (pinched nerve) on my left foot. My right foot has little cartilage left in the big toe, and a middle "hammer" toe. I also have had plantar fasciitis. My job requires I stay on the move walking all day and I rarely sit down. I found relief from wearing the Hoka Bondi's EE width with added carbon plate inserts that had a metatarsal lift. However, after developing a bulging Taylor's bunion on the outside edge of the right foot, even the EE width rubbed against it. I now wear the Hoka Bondi 8 in EEEE width and they no longer rub the bunion. I originally went with the Hoka because my podiatrist recommended them due to the way they contour and roll when I step (not painfully flexing at the toe like my New Balance brand did). The only cons I have are the following: 1. The shoe strings are a little too long and flop around some. 2. They don't come in waterproof Gortex like other models. 3. There is a strange, thin, oblong stretch of suede (?) material on the top of the shoe that makes it look like a smudge (like you spilled a drop of something on your shoe). I don't know what purpose it serves. Perhaps it is a reinforcer for the stitching in that area, but it seems oddly placed..

For two days I was unsure about these shoes after switching from OnClouds. Day 3 was the comfiest work day. I am a 6'4 285lb flat footed, clumsy adult working in a busy emergency department and my feet no longer grow tired and either does my back. The toe box feels a little trim but I may just need a wider shoe;) Even so, still comfy. It's like walking on trampolines with arch support.

My husband ALWAYS wear Hola shoes. He is flat footed and has osteoarthritis in both great toes and these shoes are made just for him. He puts them on and immediately smiles.

Really comfy for arhtritic feet!

I have been buying this shoe for years. Best shoes for feet with bunions. Could you offer them in more color options for this width, specifically black with white bottoms?

I'm 74 years young and work 10 days on my feet all night on concrete floor, these sneaker feel GREAT this is my 3rd pair my new found comfort.

This is my third pair of this shoe. I have all three colors in the xxwide. I would buy more if you had more colors. extremely comfortable. Best shoe I've ever bought.

Just as I would expect from Hoka, top quality great fit and comfort

Loved the kicks for its comfort and absorbance with each stride.

Wear everyday for casual and walking. Extremely comfortable with great cushion. I own several pairs. My suggestion to Hoka is longer shoe laces.

I've been wearing Hoka Bondis for 7 years after wearing another brand & model for 30 years! I am hooked. Nuff said
