Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

These are the most comfortable running shoes I've had in years. After over 40 years, I've tried nearly everything and was despairing about the production values and fit of the brand I was wearing. My husband's physical therapist recommended not only Hokas but the Bondi, which has been perfect. Within just a few days, a friend who worked in the ER said that numerous of his colleagues wore them, and someone at a medical office this week mentioned that she wore nothing but Hokas. I've just ordered my second pair.

Diabetic neuropathy prevents me from wearing this style of shoe.

My wife absolutely loves these shoes. They are comfortable on her feet while standing. If you have feet issues like my wife give these a try.

My 4th pair of Hoka Bondi 8. Great for feet that are sore from plantar fasciitis. And great for feet that are fortunate to not have plantar fasciitis. Excellent cushioning, good colors. Price is steep, but you get your money's worth. I do not wear them for working in the garden or other outdoor work. I wear them only for walking, errands, etc. Wish I'd had the back when I was still a runner! :) They might run a tiny bit large. I usually wear size 8. With the Hoka Bondi, I wear 7.5 WIDE

I just wore these for my daily walk: they felt very similar to the pair of Bondi 7s which I just replaced. I wear a 7 in the Bondi 7 but I listened to other reviewers and added a half size to my normal 7. That was a good move, if I hadn’t sized up they would have been too small. Some people remarked on the toe box being more narrow on the Bondi 8s vs the Bondi 7s but I didn’t feel anything restrictive. However, I have AA foot so I’ve got so much room in the toe box that I probably wouldn’t feel anything unless the change was enormous. People have said the Bondi 8s look like clown shoes but who cares? The health of your feet is more important. I’d wear flippers if they helped my feet, one of which has slight plantar fasciitis and some nerve entrapment. All in all the Bondi 8s are fine. As soon as I get my Lock-Laces I’ll be all set: I hate lacing my sneakers.

I really love these shoes. They are super comfortable and cute. I bought the wide width because the shape of the shoes reminded me of my Asics Gel-Kayano 28. The Asics Gel-Kayano 28 is also size 9 wide width. When I first put the Hoka Bondi 8 on, they felt a little tight around my ankle. That is also the first reaction I had with my Asics Gel-Kayano 28. They are both very comfortable, cool air flow, and support around the ankle that I look for in a pair of shoes. However, Hoka Bondi 8 shoes wre are a winner when it comes to comfort and stability for your feet. All in all, a very good pair of shoes.

Good!

This shoe doesn't have the much needed support that my feet require. I felt that my left foot especially was turning outward and that I had no control of that wearing this shoe

These are my favorite shoes. I recommend you wear a taller sock though because after 6 months of mostly daily wear my bombas with a thick back are wearing a break in the shoe liner. : )

I wasn't sure about these after reading other reviews. But I decided to try them, and they seem great to me. Yes, the forefoot sole is definitely wider than the Bondi 7's but that is just the sole. The actual fabric around the foot feels the same. Great cushioning and overall comfort as usual for Hokas.

They are a large looking shoe but oh so comfortable. The color combination is beautiful and they surprisingly go with a lot of different sporty items.

Super comfortable! They look a little ridiculous, but when you have plantar fasciitis, you just want your feet to feel good. I ordered my regular size, but went with a wide after reading the reviews. Perfect fit. Expensive, but they will last.

Most comfortable supportive athletic shoe; not runner but walking so comfortable. Love colors; bondi 8 seems to have thicker sole.

I absolutely love these shoes. I own five pairs of Hokas, and I love them all. I am not a runner, but I recently had bunion surgery, and these shoes have saved my feet in comfort and cuteness.

Great for bunions! Fabric gives at just the right spot!

Fantastic shoes - My feet are on cloud 9. As a sports physical therapist, I highly recommend HOKA Bondi 8. Buying a 2nd pair within a month of purchase. Thank you Zappos for a great shopping experience

Excellent fit. Bought for Europe know they’ll be a lot of walking and want to insure I will be comfortable!

Love the bright colored HOKA's they are a great running sneaker!

Great fit, love HOKA!

Super comfortable inside sole with a nice, rigid outer sole to protect foot joints, especially when recovering from a 1st Metatarsophalangeal cheilectomy!

My podiatrist recommended this particular walking/running shoe due to my issue with osteoarthritis in a few of my toes. Honestly, it's not the "prettiest" shoe, but it is one of the best that I have ever worn...and I've been through a bunch of different brands over the years.

I never wear a wide width but I read the previous reviews and ordered my usual size (7.5) in wide and they are perfect! Super comfy right out of the box!

These shoes corrected the pain I was having and made it easy to be on my feet for 8 hours.

Love the color perfect for spring and summer. Really great support
