They just felt clunky. Sticking with my Brooks.

the shoe is very wide and large on the outside, but inside the toe box was small.

I have the Bondi 7. This version can’t compare. The shoe is very hard in the ball of the foot. Not plush like the old version. Having foot problems, I go to the Bondi for a lot of walking. These just do not fit the bill. They were returned.

I love my Hokas! However, my most recent purchase seems completely off. The cushioning doesn't feel the same and the insole actually comes out. My previous 2 pairs of Hoka Bondi 8 insoles didn't budge! I'm not getting the cushioning comfort and support like I did in my previous 2 pairs. It's really upsetting because these are an investment for me and I need reliable footwear. I can't return them as they are my only pair of shoes. Again, not sure what happened but they aren't the same Bondi 8.

I love hooks but was surprised these were both a bit more narrow and a bit more stiff than I have come to expect.

I've had 2 pair of Clifton's and was ready to try something new. The bondi did not work for me tho:/ I wear an 8W and they were still weirdly narrow in the Bondi where as the Clifton fits great! My heel felt like it was coming out of the back and the toe box was tight.
Also I ordered the white and it was a blueish tint so beware!
I guess different versions work for different people. So I would say wide feet work better with Clifton's! I ordered a 3rd pair of the Clifton's and I'm very pleased with them
Overalls, love hoka's and will continue ordering them for years. The exchange/return process was very easy :)

I have been a customer of Zappos for a long time, and never had issues with bondi until they modified the boni 7 to bondi 8, I returned a couple of pair of shoes because they do not feel comfortable, colors are good but I wish you can bring back bondi 7, they feel like too narrow at the toe box to the point that my little toes are hurting at the end of the day, also that band that located and attached to the arch makes it worse

I had to try these because so many teachers wear them, but for me, they didn’t have enough arch support and they did not look cute on my feet.

The style and the color of the new Hoka 8’s are attracting! Compared to the 7’s my feet like the 7’s better. They are almost 2oz lighter and provide better support not causing pain to my heal, legs and hips. I wish the 8’s would have worked for me and I did try I wore them through and airport during recent travels and my feet were exhausted along with my legs. Every cause I had I would take them off. I’m a chronic pain patient Hoka 7’e got me back up and walking with a good quality of life. I now wearing the Hoka Gaviota 5 and I feel like I am back in my 7’s. Thank you Hoka for making such a wide variety of shoe styles to cater to all your current and future customers.

We love Hokas, wife and I have purchased many pairs from Zappos, Hoka and at stores. This time we paid $170 and Zappos sent us used shoes. Scuffed on the side, dirty and worn on the bottom. Their solve was to return them.. end of story. Not sure how that happens, you are reselling shoes that are worn for full price? won't be back.

I’ve had at least 5 pairs of Bondi’s in the past 8 years. I can almost say for certain these are counterfeit Hoka’s. There is no mid foot support, the sole is fraying after a few weeks, there’s no toe cushion. The upper looks legitimate, but they don’t feel like Hoka’s

It gave me Achilles Tendonitis. I went to see a podiatrist who took one look at my Hokas and said he had numerous first time patients who all got it from Hokas.

Look great, super comfy, especially suited to my wide foot.
However, the yellow sole is peeling off in the middle of the shoe after only 40 days wear

The prettiest shoe I’ve ever seen, but I couldn’t wear it. The heel all the way around was too high and too much padding and killed my heels. Hurt to the point I couldn’t wear.

The shoe is comfortable. However, the toe box is very different from my previous Bondi. It is sooo wide and round, I feel as if I’m wearing swim fins. The shoes don’t look nice enough to wear with anything but the most casual outfit. Disappointing.

I adore these sneakers! They provide comfort and support while walking, and I'm truly happy with them. When they finally wear out, I will be repeating the purchase!
