Great shoe! Only shoe I don't need metatarsal arch pads in for foot pain. For some reason they squeak terribly when I walk. My other Hokas don't!

Love Hoka brand. I was fitted for the Arahi but really wanted to try the Bondi s thinking they had more cushion. These bindi's killed my feet so bad, I wanted to cry. Went back to my Arahi and it was like night and day.

My only issue is anatomical. I have a surgical screw in my ankle and the side of the shoe rubs on it some. I will return them but only because of that.

I usually wear an 8.5 and I chose the 9 W because I have bunions. When I tried the shoes on straight from the box, I immediately noticed something uncomfortable on the arch of my foot. Upon investigation, I discovered it's where the sole meets the upper part of the shoe. I have orthotic inserts so I put those in the shoes and that made them very comfortable by they squeak due to the orthotic rubbing against the sole. I took some pictures and a video but I don't see any way to upload those for this review

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
Runs SmallRuns Large
Runs NarrowRuns Wide
Poor SupportGreat Support
I've been wearing Hoka for several years, finally selecting Bondi 8's for my daily walks. These shoes felt narrower than my previous Bondi's. As a mistake, I had ordered MEN's 8.5M in the Bondi 8's. When I realized my mistake, I reordered the Women's Bondi's 8.5M thinking I would send back the MEN's. But, when I tried these on, and compared the feel with the MEN's Bondi 8.5M, I decided to keep the MEN's. I wonder what's going on with the new women's line that they fit narrower than previous Bondi 8's. Thank you, Zappos for your customer friendly return policy.

I walked on the treadmill and my feet did not go numb. There is plenty of room in the toe and the heel is not loose.
I would give 5 stars,but I have another pair of HOKAs and the foam in the heel came out when they were not that old. I think they should have lasted longer considering the price.

Got these in place of diadora running shoes I had but to wear for long 12 hour shifts. I had pain as I began working three hour shifts in my heels and up the backs of my legs and then I switched to these bonds 8s and have been pain-free thus far in addition to wearing compression socks on either my 2nd or 3rd shift to also help.
The combo has been working like a charm! Would love to get another pair at some point/would love if they would do a discount code for nurses! Thanks HOKA!

This is my third pair of hokas and the most expensive ones I've ever bought. They definitely provide full cushioning. They seem to be high-quality shoes. At least I hope so for the price I paid. The only downside is that I have some blisters from my first two runs. I'm going to assume that will go away once they're broken in.

This ladies sneaker is comfortable and lightweight. Attractive colors. This is my first purchase from Hoka. I have painful plantar fasciitis, so a high cushion factor is imperative. I'll keep looking for more cushion feeling model.

So far, I've only worn these shoes around the house because the winter weather is keeping me inside for exercise. They are comfy and very springy - like a mini bouncy house on my feet. The negative is that the tongue of the shoe is gusseted on only one side. This causes the tongue to sit off center when the shoe is tied. I'm worried this might cause rubbing when I get out to do some fast walking. I followed the fit guide and ordered a half size up as was recommended for the Bondi 8 style and it was spot on.

I love these shoes because they are non slip and all black which is what my job requires however they are so much more than that. They are super comfortable for being on my feet 8+ hours a day in a kitchen with concrete or tile floors. I also don't get a break so these shoes literally are keeping me alive at this point lol

I run and train 4 times a week. Shoes are very comfortable. Easy on the knees. This is my 3rd purchase of shoes with Hoka. First was size 7.5 regular, second shoe was size 7 wide both were a bit too big.
The shoe I just received are 6.5 regular and they are perfect. Hoka shoes do run a bit too big. I recommend a half size down.

I stand and a lot of walking. This is the second pair this pair is not as soft as the first pair. The first pair felt like I was walking on sponges. I loved them. I hope you have cut back on the making of the shoes.

I loved the color, that they were light weight, and even when they didn't have too much cushion they felt comfortable. My experience was not that pleasant. I had to return them because they gave me a blister on my right big toe, and at the end of the day, my feet were hurting. I will definitely try other models.

They are very comfy and can wear them all day . The only thing is the tongue on them always go to the outside of shoe. They are not straight on foot.

I felt great, but I was very self-conscious about how wide the front part of the shoe looked. It doesn't look natural to have such a wide sole compared to the rest of the shoe.

This is my 3rd Bondi 8 shoe, and I love them all. I ordered the black on black to wear during these winter months. I noticed yesterday when I was walking from the parking lot into a building that the shoes look navy! I had never noticed that before, so not sure if they are a dark navy or my eyes are failing me! LOL

Great shoe supportive and cushy, i however could not use as I had a knee replacement and my legs ached for some reason. I had to return them as they would not work for me. They are a beautiful shoe though, I wish I could use them, but I can't. Too much cushion for me.
