Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I work for a retail grocery store. On my feet a lot walking on cement floors. Would like to see a little more padding on the ball of the foot behind my toes

These shoes are still not as comfortable as the bondi 5 but a great improvement from the last pair of bondi 8 and 7, I purchased. The last pair of bondi 8 and the pair bondi 7, I purchased hurt my feet from the moment I put them on. My husband also had issues with the last two pair of bondi 8 and SR, and has switched to Brooks shoes, but I love my Hoka so, I wanted to give them one last chance before I switched. I have to say these are a great improvement from my last two pairs. And, as a former nurse, I replace my Hoka every three to six months so I have owned several pairs over the years. They are still not as comfortable as the bondi 5 a great improvement over the last bondi 8 and 7, I purchased, and I cut that piece of fabric holding the tongue to the side of the shoes they fit even better.

I really like them, but I liked the Bondi 7's more They don't seem as plush.

Absolutely love these shoes. I wear them everyday to work. There was a mix up where they sent me 2 pairs of shoes and when I returned them UPS charged me to send them back. That was a little frustrating, but the shoes are truly worth it. How do us healthcare workers become an ambassador!? LOVE

I received the shoes quickly. This is my second pair of this design of shoe and I will continue to purchase them. I had issues with my feet after being an avid walker and had to stop my progress because it just became too painful. My son who works at a hospital said the majority of doctors and nurses wear this brand and because I was desperate I paid more than I was used to paying. This shoe is very comfortable and though I haven't worn them outside yet, trying them on they were comfortable immediately.

Due to arthritis in my feet, I've had limited walking for decades. These shoes were recommended by my podiatrist. Now I can walk really well! It's amazing!! The only negative is that I get texts and emails from the company DAILY. They drive me nuts!! How often do people buy shoes, anyway????

I am using these shoes for walking and running errands. My only complaint is that they are slightly too narrow. I have trouble with widths as I seem to in between normal and wide. I do love the colors although this one is closer to purple than blue. I gave my husband my size 11 shoes and he likes them as well.

I bought these shoes because of the color. It was love at first sight. I like the cushion of the Bondi, but I prefer the back design of the Clifton 9. The heel on the Bondi feels a bit shallow. If I could combine the Clifton 9 and the Bondi it would be a perfect shoe.

I purchased the Bondi 8 in regular width but I found it too wide for me. Ended up returning it for the Clifton 9 which was a better fit. Great customer service. Easy return and fast delivery.

I Love the shoe very comfortable but I have one complaint. the tongue slides to ne side because it is not stitched down on both side. Not sure if it is because I got a wide width but it is a little irritating. I also worry it will cause the shoe to twist. it does seem to make my foot shift while walking.

I have worn a pair of Bondi One Ones and found them very comfortable and supportive from the beginning. I purchased the Bondi 8 in the same size. Although the heel is supportive, it has more give than my other shoes. Also, as my foot goes forward, there seems less support toward the ball of the foot. I am still getting use to them and am sorry that I did not try them in a store as I did with the previous shoe.

I ordered these after reading all the wonderful online reviews of the Bondi 8. They arrived and I walked around the house in them to see about the fit; they were very comfortable and well-cushioned. However I tried walking in them at the gym for at least 30 minutes and they rubbed on both arches of my feet. I tried the same thing several more times, thinking they just needed to be broken in. No such luck. They continued to rub and felt very uncomfortable. I'm so disappointed because I had such high hopes and had to return them. Everyone is different, so these may fit just fine for others. I truly appreciate that HOKA accepts returns after being worn, because many companies do not.

I am a loyal user of the Bondi. I have been using them for several years and for the most part love them. I run up to 12 miles a day and they provide ample support and cushion. The only problem I am having is with the Bondi 8. I have am on pair seven because the toe box is not reinforced or as strong as previous models (I also have narrow feet so the width isn't the issue). I have seen the toe tear on 5 out of the 7 pairs in just 4 months of use. I alternate two pairs at a time and lately they've had to be replaced within six months, which is really only three months per pair. The only reason I wouldn't give the Bondi 8 a five star is due to the ripping in the toe box.

I love these shies, great color, but wish they came in WIDE!

I returned one pair and have not recieved my credit and kept the other pair Thank you

So far very satisfied with my purchase. Very good arch support and good fit. Love the colors too.

All the other running shoes that I have, I have been advised (my professionals) to size 1/2 size up. This being my first pair of Hokas, I assumed I should do the same. I am normally a size 6, so I order a 6.5. They were slightly too big. I will be exchanging for my true size. Overall, great quality and looks as presented.

I got the Bondi 8 wide size 10. I have wide toes and even though I got the wide size, I feel like it's still a bit narrow, I hope they can make a double wide or something. I feel that the shoe doesn't have ventilation either. After awhile, my feet and shoe smell compared to other shoes from other brands I bought.
