Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Very comfortable and padded. Just what I need for 12 hr hospital shifts

It hugs even on all side. It is your best model, but very expensive

Best shoes for plantar fasciitis. I work 8 to 12 hours standing and with this ones is so much easier!!

They look a bit like clown shoes from a view straght down but Im giving them a try. There is so much hype about them..

Recommend for easy/recovery runs and simply walking. My fav hoka shoe

Bondi 8 are the best shoe around. Not cheap, that's for sure, but the cushioning and sizing are superior. Support is moderate, so I add a small arch support under the insole. I have plantar fasciitis, and enjoy an active lifestyle. Am on my feet a lot. Bondis don't make plantar fasciitis go away, but they make it much more possible to enjoy an active life.

I love the Hokas. They are very comfortable for my feet. I am able to wear them all day with out feeling pain by the end of the day.

Love these shoes. Very comfortable

These are just what the doctor ordered for bone spurs and other minor foot and ankle problems. Feels like I'm floating on air. I did replace the insoles - super easy with these shoes - to get even more arch support.

Bouncy

Rocker action really alleviates muscle fatigue, very well-constructed. Have worn them for months and no sign of wear and tear. Extremely supportive.

These bondi 8s are my 4th pair of Hokas; guess I am hooked! I have flat feet and hammer toes; old; and I walk a mile a day! Myellow212 8and1/2 wide

I really liked these shoes! They had everything I wanted: a good, wide toe area, plenty of cushion, very comfortable and airy and not to loose. I would have purchase these in a heartbeat if not for the problem with the arch. For some reason the shoe suddenly narrows around the arch so it rubs up against the arch of my foot. I tried them on a couple of times over a day or too to be sure, and it definitely rubs to the point of discomfort. Maybe if you have a more narrow foot or a higher arch it would be okay? But I had to return these unfortunately.

Had to return first pair and reorder W but no problem with return and new order! Zappos=great as always!

The Hoka Bondi 8 is supposed to be the best walking shoe out there, so I want to find out if it lives up to its hype. Just got them today, so I'll post a follow-up review in a month. However, here are some of my initial thoughts--They are INCREDIBLY comfortable. Fit perfectly. Loved that they came all laced up, although I needed to make sure the laces were a bit tighter for my 8.5 medium foot. I was wearing a pair of flats when I opened the box, and the Hokas looked HUGE next to them! I was SURE the 8.5 would be too big, but they fit perfectly in spite of looking large. And they do look large (I'm used to New Balance). But wow. I wore them for a while, came to really like that big ole platform and heel, and they are soooo comfortable. I love the color combinations that the Bondi 8 have--I bought the lavender ones with the blue sole, which look great with jeans. I need incentive to get out there and WALK, so I figured that spending the hefty $165 for these shoes might give me that incentive. I hope so. Watch this space to see if it was worth it and if the Hoka Bondi 8 lives up to its hype.

These shoes fit perfectly right out of the box! Will definitely buy again.

This is,my third pair of Hoka's. I have had both Bondi 7 and Bondi 8. I cannot begin to tell you how comfortable these shoes are. They fit perfectly from the moment I put them on. I have flat feet. The arch is subtle enough to give me the support I need but not so much that it hurts. I have had other high end shoes in the past and have been disappointed in the quality over time. That is not the case with this brand. Hoka shoes are worth the investment!

Awesome fit, comfort and support

Perfect!

Perfect! True to size!

I have wide forefoot with narrow heel. These shoes were a good fit. I have ankle instability which the wide sole helps with. These shoes have kept my plantar fasciitis at bay. My only complaint would be that the inside of the heel wears out quickly, and I have them laced to prevent slippage on the heel.

They're expensive, but I love my Hokas. I started with the Hoka lower support styles, and now wear only the latest Bondi's for my daily walks. When I get a new pair (every six months), I wear the "old" ones for daily attire. These shoes definitely help my arthritic hips, knees, and back.

shoes are too narrow

Love Hoka’s ! I work 12 hr shifts in a hospital and the shoes are the best for being on my feet and walking.
