While the extra cushion is great, the bottom of the shoe is super big - to the point I'd be afraid I trip over my feet. It's a good looking shoe and I'm sure great for others, just didn't fit me right.

I like my new bondi 8 but I'm not sure if it's the shoe or my foot but the right shoe is hurting my arch. Almost like the arch sets to high on my arch

Bought these at one of the L.L.Bean outlet stores when on sale for 50% off,. The color wasn't my first choice, but it was an excellent buy. The Hoka sneakers in general are very comfortable, but they seem to all be slightly higher than other brands, which causes them to rub up against my ankle bone which can be somewhat irritating.

I loved my first hoka's (5 yrs old) This pair, same style, has changed. The wideness beyond foot is a bit much. But most importantly, the back easily folds down when putting them on. Prefer a more rigid back heel peice. The pull peice is hard to pull it back straight. I think this should b improved.

I think they are a little bigger then my last pair, but are still OK. I do wish there was another style that had this much padding on the ball of the foot.

Wears good and a nice color. Could you do the same deep toebox in a casual tennis shoe? Morton's neuroma and crossover toe will not keep me from looking a pretty dress shoe, sandal and casual slipon tennis shoe.

I loved the look, but there wasn’t enough arch support for me. Also, one foot is narrower than the other. I bought B width and it was too tight on the wide foot.

They are nice but the inside of the arch rubs on my foot. It causes a sore spot. I may try another style and see if I have the same issue.

It has been raining on and off since I received these. Today I took a chance trying to keep them shiny . Immediately I feel them cushiony and supportive whereas old ones lost that . Unfortunately here in Texas I live and walk on concrete so my back takes that beating . First time trying Hoka for walking and optimistic

The Bondi 8 fit true to size and was a nice shoe. I also purchased the Clifton 9 for comparison and I'm returning the Bondi 8 and keeping the Clifton 9. They both fit great but the Clifton 9 was a better fit for me.

I purchased the Hoka Boni 8 because of a review stating that it was a great shoe for walking on concrete. Although the shoe fit right, I immediately felt that there wasn't enough arch support.

It is like walking on your own personal cushions under your feet. These shoes are great if you are flat footed or you walk more on the inside of your feet and need major arch support. I walk more on the outside of my feet and have high arches so they aren't for me personally.

I really do like these shoes!!! They seem to be a little on the small side vs my Rincon. But they are still comfortable. I stand & walk for good portion of day. Feet never hurt at end of My feet don't hurt anymore. You can't beat that!! Pretty sure I'm sticking w HOKA

it was a little too wide. the arch of my foot feel too flat since the shoe was 7D wider than a regular 7B size. i feel as if i had to use all the room on the wider section. the back of the shoe rub my heel since it was just a tab wide. I have purchased a 7B and still looking for an alternative shoe to wear so I have an extra pair.

Just one thing, if you had more padding inside bottom of shoes. Other than that I wear them all day. Good job !

I like the shoe but for my plantar fasciitis, I needed more arch support. I will go to a shoe store that carries these so I can try them on. Other than that I really liked how they felt. On my normal foot, I don't think I would have needed a break in period..

My feet hurt all the time. I bought a pair of these and they are great! Great for everyday wear & walking. Lots of plush cushioning on bottom.

I'm pretty sure that these are great shoes. However, I need a flatter sole, especially in the toes. The toe part of the shoe curve up and that's not a match for my hammer toes. It is for that reason alone that I am returning them.

Hoka Bondi 8 shoes are life changing for me. The cushioning supports my knees and helps me maintain balance all day long. My only challenge is the colors are a little crazy for me. If there was a way to subdue the colors a little, that would be awesome. I wear these shoes hard and can tell when they are starting to wear a little under my arches. Then I buy a new pair and go through four-five pairs per year.

I stand daily for 8 hours at work. These are very cushy. But I think I need to try on different pairs as I bought mine online.

I have mortons neuroma in both feet ... I have been looking for walking shoes as we are going to Europe in August. All I can wear now are Birkenstocks but none of them work for long walks. I wore these a couple of times on short 1/2-1 mile walks and while I did not get shooting pain I did get twinges and numbness in my right foot. Since these are the only walking shoes that come close to working for me I am going to keep them.

I like the shoe, it fits great! I have wide feet so it's always hard to find shoes that fit and my doctor recommended Hoka. The only thing that I have an issue with is the tongue is sewed down. I'm like the person that wants to take that off even though the tag says do not remove. :)

I am always on the lookout for wide width shoes. I saw these and decided to try the brand for the first time. They fit very well and seem well-cushioned. I was thrilled that wide shoes came in a variety of fun colors. Usually once I click on "wide," there are only black or white pairs. It will be awhile before I use the pair I bought. When my current pair of walking shoes wears out, these will be on deck.

They hadn't been so narrow. Yes I ordered wide, however they were extremely narrow. I ended up with bruising and blisters on both feet on the insole. After calling they confirmed they run narrow even when ordered in wide. The customer service and return was extremely easy. The shoe itself was absolutely gorgeous. I hate that I can't wear them. If u have wide feet, it's a hit or miss. My sister's were fine, same pair and size. Guess I just have wider feet. It was suggested that I try men's but I'll wait to go in store. Overall I would recommend these.
