I like the rocker of the Bondi, but like the fit of the Gaviota with its wider toe box. My perfect Hoka would be combination of the Bondi and Gaviota.

I think I will buy again, but have not owned or used long enough to know about the longevity. The first pair I bought have been good except part of the sole needs to be glued back.

Read other reviews and ordered a half size larger than my last pair of Hokas (Stinson 7), which were a half size larger than my true size (which is 5.5 wide). The big white sole is fugly but these are so incredibly comfortable I wear them almost exclusively in rotation with my other pair of Hokas.

Bondi 8, size 15 wide support my feet for six to eight weeks before shoes begin compromising support and cushioning. After 10 weeks shoes no longer usable. Please note that I have worn Hoka's for approximately four years. Even though they don't last long, this shoe is the only brand that I have found that helps with my arches.

My feet absolutely love these shoes. Really wish they had a loyalty program. I have referred several people to these shoes and bought several myself.

I am looking for a shoe that helps with my arthritis pain. Usually, a size 10.5 is not an available option for me, and I have to take an 11. I like the fact that a 10.5 is available in Hoka and I think these shoes may work for my arthritis, but I just don't love the color, Cosmic Pearl. The website makes the color appear more saturated than it is in person. I am going to try other colors in this size.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks, Saucony, Mizuno

Had earlier version of NB Freshfoam. These are even nicer with more detailed sole that I may be able to wear for pickleball

I have bought these for years now. But in Wide there are about 3 colors and I am so tired of pale colors that get dirty and do not want black. I tried ordering other styles, but nothing really fits right- I'm going to go to a Brick & Mortar store. Hokas are my forever shoes.

I forgot to say, I bought these for my work shoes. I work Labor and Delivery, 12 hour shifts. You must have GOOD shoes to take care of your feet! These are fairly new, and I feel positive they will continue to feel comfortable, even at the end of a long day. I think I deserve a special kudos for this review!! It is true, I promise!!!

none for work right now.

There's another popular sneaker that I've always had to do half-size up. I was unsure. However, I trusted the reviews which said "true to size". Perfect fit. Doesn't get any better, right?!

The shoes are somewhat comfortable but seems to be tight across the toes. I believe a half bigger size would feel much better.

I wear this current show everyday, work, church and exercising. I have tendon damage on my left foot and ankle and I wear these shoes out in about 4-5 months. But they are much better than a tradition brand of shoe which I have broken down in 30 days!!

Still determining if I keep as I broke my foot an these were suggested for good support. They feel wide at the toe which is fine, but narrow in the arch so fit isn't comfortable for flat feet.

Initially, I was wearing socks that were too thin. I was having irritation along the inner arch one one foot. A change to a bit thicker sock made a wold of difference. I find that my feet are a little stiff in the evenings after wearing them all day. I'm not sure this is a bad thing or just breaking in a great shoe as opposed to wearing awful shoes for years. I'm not giving up on these gems!

It is a good shoe but I got the wrong size. I will return these because my foot goes up and down in them.

I'm a consistent 10-15 miles per week runner with foot issues so as plush as possible is required. Given that, the heavier weight is to be expected. However, the "wide" version is not wide - my feet are actually not wide, yet need extra width for foot issues. Seems the 8 version is even less wide than last iteration so disappointed.

I use the bondi 8 for walking, some running, workout in the gym. I've been wearing hoka shoes for a very long time. I love the plush because I need the extra cushion. I hope you aren't making the plush less cushioned! Please keep it as good as it always was. I feel like the newer versions aren't as plush as they use to be. I also think they are narrower than the original hoka shoes. I have many different models BTW. So I'm able to compare. I've never ordered wide but was finally forced to because the same shoes are now narrower, which means I won't be able to wear them anymore since they don't come in wide. I don't know why the change but I'm sure they've changed. Please the plush the same as original Hoka plush. Bring it back. And either offer wide in all your shoes or go back the original normal width. The original hoka.

I would have given five stars, except for the inside edge of the inner sole, which is stiffer than I'm used to, and which hopefully will soften with wear. I don't always wear socks with my shoes, but find that I have to wear socks with these to avoid rubbing a raw spot on my arches. This is my second pair of Hokas and they're as comfortable as I remembered.
I'd also recommend:
Asics, Brooks, Nike.

I buy these because I have plantar fasciitis so bad and these are the only shoes that help keep the swelling and soreness down. I high suggest if you have this issue.

Great looking shoe and very nice cushion but Wide in women’s is still too narrow for 4E feet. I’ve returned and reordered in Men’s sizes to hopefully get more width. Be advised the tongue is attached to the shoe on one side, doesn’t look even on wide feet.

I've ordered Hoka Wide in the past and they were perfect. I don't know if this was improperly marked or what but it was not a wide shoe.

The fit was not what it used to be. I had to go up a half size. After I got the bigger size, they were fine.

I have owned seven pairs of Bondi 8 HOKAS and basically live in them. I would appreciate a GTX in the Bondi 8 wide and new colors!
