Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

The best arch support in the game for my high arches! I am an 8.5 in most brands and ordered an 8.5. Perfect fit, right out of the box. Zero break-in time. They're bouncy and breathable (perfect for hot Florida days). They're so comfortable that they make me want to extend my walks around the neighborhood!

I loved the shoe. But with my back problems, they seemed to throw me a bit off when walking. It's my body, not the shoe. Wish they had worked out because they were so comfortable.

It is true that the width of this heel is a bit odd, and while it might not be the most attractive pair of sneakers I have ever worn, it is ABSOLUTELY the most comfortable pair of sneakers I have ever worn...so much so that I bought a second pair!!! I am on my feet all day every day for my job and most of the time by my drive home my feet are aching...however, after surgery in October, I happened to notice that three of the nurses had this brand of shoe on, and I had never heard of it, but when I got home I ordered my first pair, with the assumption that if they are comfortable enough for nurses on their feet all day they surely will be for me and I was beyond happy with them! I am waiting for some fresh new colors and will order a third pair for sure! I used to only wear Asics but now Hoka Bondi 8 is my new favorite and my old sneakers will be for yard work and pressure washing now LOL!

Lovely shoes! Ordering half a size down and planning to take them to Disney!

I didn't think I'd like the change from the 7 style to the 8 but these are even better

Shoes fit well. They are so bulky but my podiatrist was specific about this shoe for me…

These fit much like the Bondi 7, with the mesh over the foot having an ever so slightly tighter fit (than Bondi 7); they feel great. I've been waiting for a Bondi in dark blue to come available again, and the dark blue in this pair works great with my navy scrubs - so glad I tried the Bondi 8!

This is the best walking shoe I have tried and I've tried quite a few. I've got messed up feet and have suffered from plantar fasciaitis and Achilles tendonitis so I'm very careful about my walking shoe. I was thrilled by my last pair of Hoka shoes (Bondi 7) so didn't hesitate to order the newer model. It's got great cushioning, the perfect amount of lift in the heel, and is comfortable right from the start.

I love the Hoka Bondi 8. Nice cushioning, comfortable upper. I am usually a 10.5-11 in athletic shoes and 10.5 is perfect in these. I do use my own inserts for extra arch support. These were a lifesaver for my ankle tendon injury. I think these are lighter and a bit more comfortable than the Bondi 7.

Great shoe, nice color and really comfortable for all day use.

Great fit/ love the wider width

These shoes are amazing. I’ve been dealing with severe plantar fasciitis and I have been wearing Brooks (which I also like) but for this issue- the Hokas wear better— hands down! Wonderful comfort!

My second pair of Hoka Bondi! I’m a big Hoka fan. It’s light and comfortable. We walk a lot and this is perfect for long walk. I took it to Italy and I was very comfortable walking up and down the steps and cobblestones. Lots of stability.

Really liked these shoes! I did return them, however, May reorder!!!

I did order a 1/2 size bigger than my non athletic shoes. The fit and quality great. This is my second pair. The comfort is outstanding!

I have a complete tear of my ATFL, a fractured talus and synovial fluid irritating the medial ankle. I’m having surgery soon but my doc told me to buy these to get me through a week trip to Disney and another to Key West. We averaged 25k steps a day. These were so comfortable and supportive for my very high arch I had zero issues. Buy these immediately! I’ll never buy another sneaker.

These shoes were the answer to my prayers. Torn plantar plate in my foot, and these shoes rescued me during my recovery.

Love these shoes! Soooooooooooooooo comfy!

After having foot surgery these are the best shoes for walking. I have a high arch so an insert works really well with them.

These Hoka’s have been amazing for my full shifts at work. I am on my feet all day constantly walking, bending and often times standing in one position for a couple of hours. I have plantar fasciitis in both feet and a sore left knee and they feel fine after my 8 hour shifts. I highly recommend these. I am a bit on the heavy side so these even work great for my large framed body. Lol!

First pair of Hokas so I'm comparing to Asics Cumulus size 8.5. I have pretty wide feet (plus some major bunions) so I went with 8.5 wide and was shocked at how wide they are! No pressure at all- they aren't messing around, this wide is luxurious, it's double wide. But where an 8.5 works in Asics, this Hoka was just a bit too long and too roomy (I have never said that before), swapped down to an 8 wide and I'm good. The footbed is definitely firmer so if youre looking for squishy softness, this isn't it. I miss the lovely softness of Cumulus and Nimbus, but I'm willing to try them to see if they support my arch (plantar fasciitis) and last well. I really love the look and the colors over my other brand options.

These shoes are great! They accommodate my orthotics and the cushioning is like walking on a cloud!

Liked them wear them alot at work

This shoe is so comfortable!
