Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

These shoes provide all day comfort for plantar fasciitis. Wide base makes for strong stability against pronation, etc.. Colors, however, are tediously bright, Making it difficult to match professional/office outfits.

I love the shoes they're very comfortable. The only issue I have is that one of the shoestrings is too short and according to the person I chatted with HOKA does not offer replacement laces. To get another lace I would have had to return the entire order for an exchange. Doesn't make sense.

I am a nurse and walk about 10,000 steps a shift. The Bondi 8 are great shoes for cushion and stability by far. I have bought and inserted my own insoles which also help. The only problem is my shoes squeak and it is quite annoying and embarrassing sometimes. As with a few other reviews, I happen to be one of the lucky ones with this problem! I am going to try using corn starch, which was recommended by Holka, to see if the squeaks quiet. Other than the squeaks, I absolutely love these shoes! I have a bunion and these shoes work great to accommodate that as well.

The shoes were very comfortable,but the arches hurt my feet so I returned them and ordered the Clifton's . They feel a lot better! They are very comfortable and I will order again.

My job is physical demanding and all day standing and moving fast so I started wearing Bondi 8 since last May and my knee and back have much less problems:) This is my 3rd pair

It helps with the pain from Plantar Fasciitis. They are comfortable for around the house and out for recreation or errands. I think they are also fashionable to wear with most everyday outfits.

These are my 5th pair of bondis and the first pair that feels too narrow and too stiff. If anything I would just recommend to maybe size up half a number for the extra room

Love the fit and my knees like the cushion. LOVE, LOVE the color (which is saying something for somone who usually goes for black or white, hold-the-neon-swoosh,monochrome sneakers). I would have given 5 stars if you had included an extra pair of shoe laces.

I work 12hr shifts and find these to be comfy. My feet do not hurt at the end of the day. For reference I have purchased Brooks and OC brand sneakers in the past. I have these and Cliftons and I like both.

I bought these sneakers about a month ago now and they have felt amazing on my feet. Working in healthcare I am on my feet quite literally all hours of the day, and these prevent my feet from hurting. Theres the perfect amount of cushion and bounce, and I just love the color and look of them. Totally recommend for anyone looking for new work shoes, excellent for hospital setting.

I bought the shoes on the off chance they could help with my lower back pain. Unfortunately, they could not as my problem is with with my vertebrae. They are very comfortable for walking in and the fit overall is good. I got the Women's 11 which is a hair too big. I tried both the Men's 8.5 reg and wide, as the color I wanted was not available in Women's 10.5. Strangely the Men's shoes were both too narrow. I could not tell there was a difference in width. They also seemed almost too small length wise as my smaller foot (0.5 size difference) was close to the end of the toe. I have kept the size 11 as the width was great and the extra length was not problematic with my right foot. I will get a heel cushion for the left one to deal with the slightly loose shoe on the right. Overall a lovey shoe.

I like the Bondi 6 & 7 more the 8 and SR are more firm and not as plush as the 6 & 7 were; they are also more narrow. I like the bondi for the stability and leaning back on my heels or balls of my toes is no longer a problem for me, but the cushion is gone and I miss it the most, I have to get a1/2 size larger for a comfortable fit.

It took a good week to break in the left shoe. The right side was fine/ I do believe the cushion on the left side sits higher up on the side than the right shoe. This is what took some time to get used to. The shoes are heavy and almost feels like you are stomping your feet when walking. All in all I would buy them again

They are like walking on clouds, sooo very comfortable. However one issue I have is they are so wide ( I know I ordered wide width) they look like I have paddles on my feet. Like I said I DID order wide but I have tons of sneakers and shoe over time I've ordered or purchased and none of them look like these. I'm almost embarrassed to wear them. Hopefully I'll get used to them!

Love Hokas, my 6th pair. Really need Bondi 7s back. The 8's are no where near as comfortable.

At first I could feel the arch in the right shoe a lot but it has since minimized- took a little getting use to but I like them very pretty blue color!

I have been wearing to gym and loving how they feel. I love the wider toe area. I have bunions and they do not pinch my foot at all. Sadly the inside of the heel is wearing/pilling. Nothing that affects the comfort and feel of the shoe but was disappointed that this is happening to new shoes. I wasn't going to contact customer service and send back because I use them weekly at the gym, but since I was asked to review I thought I would let you know.

I loved this shoe! Sadly though, I have 2 Morton's neuromas in my right foot and the wide wasn't wide enough :9

I suffer from knee pain and walk often for many miles. These are rather good support. The only thing keeping me from 5 stars is the high arch support in these. I do not have high arches so these are minimally bothersome when I first put them on until I've been in them a bit and then I don't notice. My knee pain pretty much goes away while walking which is the reason for the 4 stars.
