Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

These are great if you supinate (or under-pronate). They come in wide widths, are comfortable and look cute. It's tough to find shoes that check all of those boxes and they've held up well to daily walking. To me they're worth $165.

Excellent shoe for running on treadmill, sidewalks and street - plenty of cushion while still being responsive, suprisingly good arch support without being uncomfortable and good secure fit around the heel without making any hotspots. Look clunky - but quite light and less "bo-bo" than previous iterations. Got about 6 months of 20-30 mile/week use out before the exterior started to wear down and loss of cushion responsiveness

I went up a 1/2 size and they fit great!! I wear with socks I ordered 91/2 & are wonderful

I owned (and loved) a pair of Hoka Bondi 7s. After seeing reviews that opined the toe box on the Bondi 8 was noticeably smaller, I almost didn't purchase the Bondi 8s. Thankfully, I gave these a shot and found I love them even more than the previous model. I find the toe box to be equally roomy and am enjoying the design changes to the base of the shoe. While I do feel the base looks chunkier/clunkier, its small increase in width gives me a much-appreciated boost to stability.

After trying 3 other Hokas these are the best for my bad feet with osteoarthritis in both big toes! Just love wearing them to work everyday. I’ve probably sold 3 pairs to my coworkers in the last week.

These shoes last a long time. Very good quality. I work in podiatry and we recommend these shoes as top option for foot pain support

Fit and size are wonderful! The materials for the shoe are comfortable, lightweight. These were purchased on the recommendation of my doctor, and honestly it's the first time I have been able to get a pair of sneakers that allow me to walk with a considerable amount of reduced pain.

Most comfortable walking shoes I’ve ever owned. I actually feel my muscles getting a workout wearing them.

Loved my Bondi 7’s so still getting used to the Bondi 8’s. But, love the stability factor of the Bondi 8’s…literally kept me from an unbalanced fall this morning! My granddaughter tried them on and fell in love with the cushioning and said she may order a pair!

I have severe foot problems and use very expensive orthodit's. These are the only shoes I can walk in.

My first time wearing the Bondi 8. They literally feel like I’m walking in a cloud! My leg and foot pain is completely gone!

After 20+ years of wearing Brooks, I have completely switched to Hoka shoes. If you're like me and have had spinal fusion and have a bad back, these shoes are an absolute MUST HAVE. They have great support and phenomenal cushion. The Bondi's are top notch and I will be ordering my next pair soon!!

This fit great (I don't normally wear a wide width but I have bad arthritis in my toes so I gave it a try. It may not have been necessary but I don't regret it.) It's worked wonderfully for me in terms of how long I can stand or walk. It even helps with my knee pain (also arthritis.) The only down side is that they're, well, obviously wide sneakers and it's hard to wear them with anything other than long pants. But that's a styling issue, not a shoe issue. The shoes are fabulous for helping relieve my arthritis!

If you have high arches this shoe is for you. Purchased this shoe for my daughter for college where she does ALOT of walking. I visited her one month in and noticed that all her shoes were destroyed from the walking she was doing. Normally, I don’t like to spend this much on a shoe that likely will get so beat up, but because of her arches and her pronunciation in walking she needs it. I purchased the shoe in October of 2022 and it made it through still looking like new by the end of the school year. I did provide her with an arch support I purchased on Amazon and that has kept the wear nice and level. I feel so much better knowing she is away and has this shoe, because if she had kept her normal sneaker, we might have been dealing with other physical issues as a result. This pair we ordered July 2023, is her new pair for the new school year. It runs exactly true to size and am grateful for the wide option since the her toe box is wide and heal more narrow. Her old Bondi’s are still going strong, but will be downgraded to beater sneakers for rainy days and such. They still have a lot of life left. Great shoe and thank you!

These Hoka Bondi's fit perfectly and are honestly the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I do have a crossover toe, bunions and scoliosis so it is quite difficult to find shoes that work for me. I almost cried when I tried them on. I go on long walks with them very often and have never had any issues. So happy was I that I bought two more pairs and one for my husband!

I have a wide foot, high instep and narrow heel so I dread buying shoes. I read all the reviews on how the Bondi 8 fit and was crossing my fingers because it seemed like most preferred the Bondi 7 and did not like the wider profile of the Bondi 8. Ordered the 10 W and I tried them on as soon as they arrived. When I first put them on my feet I thought" wow I look like I have duck feet" due to the wide profile sole. Then I stood up and walked around in them and I was sold. Yes, looking down on them from above I felt they made my feet look even wider than they were. However, my daughter looked at them and said they did not. I have worn them since. They cushion the bottom of the foot. Have ample room in the width because there is a nice wide toe box. I have to say this is my second pair of Hokas and I am a convert.

PERFECT! These are extremely cushioned and supportive. My feet never get tired. As a graphic designer, the color choices are odd. Oh well, don't walk to buy these — run!

Great shows if you need large toe box and minimal drop from heel to toe. Was recommended by my podiatrist. Great base support. I have plantar fasciitis and capsulitis of the 2nd toe in the right foot. Need to place an orthotic insert (PowerStep Pinnacle plus Metatarsalgia) in place of the regular insert which made the size 7.5 a bit crowded. Size 8 was perfect and resulted in instant pain relief. I highly recommend it.

As someone with flat feet, I absolutely love these shoes. They feel so comfy and secure that my feet don't get tired even if I'm out all day.

I work in a warehouse walking approx. 10 miles daily on concrete floors and climb 3 flights of metal stairs too many times to count, including standing for 9 hours. Let’s just say since wearing the BONDI’s my lower back, knees and feet no longer bother me at all. It’s awesome! I actually look forward to wearing these shoes. Highly recommend ??

Work in a hospital, I’m on my feet all day. These sneakers are very comfortable and offer terrific support especially for my wide feet

Absolutely true to size - put them on, NO pain anywhere! They're like walking on mattresses. I love them!

Great supportive,comfortable shoes. I am a Nurse who routinely works 12-16 hour shifts. These shoes keep my feet feeling great from clock in to clock out no foot or leg fatigue. Love Hoka. Just wish they would tone down the color scheme a bit. More neutral colors would be great.

Felt comfortable as soon as I put them on. My hips had been hurting me on long walks recently, so I decided to try Hoka's. I was no disappointed! Highly recommend these shoes. Definitely a treat for your feet!!

I am typically a 7B in running shoes and 6.5 in regular shoes. I ordered this shoe in a 6.5D and 7B because I needed a shoe to wear during my recovery from bunion surgery. The 7B was much larger in length than other running shoes (I typically wear Brooks running shoes). The 6.5D was perfect for my swollen foot. It is probably the most comfortable walking shoe I have ever tried. It is also the widest shoe I have ever worn. The base of this shoe is enormous, which is perfect for post surgery recovery. Once my foot is healed I think I would switch to a different HOKA model that is not so huge on the base.
