Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

LOVE the color and fits perfectly down to the toe; however, I ordered a women's WIDE and it is not as wide as the New Balance shoes I have worn in the past. This is the only reason I would not purchase another pair of Hoka's.

Have lots of support but around ankle area is rubbing my left ankle. So hard? It's getting better though

Because I'm flat footed, I'm having a hard time getting used to the high arch. Right now I can't give a review, because I haven't worn them enough.

The cushy shoes cured my foot pain as soon as I put them on, but the toe box on the wide is still a hair too narrow for my very wide foot causing me to have blisters on the sides of my feet and the pad of my foot feels very uncomfortable when I wear for physical activity or they're on my feet for too long from the crease created by the too narrow toe box

Could we PLEASEfor the love of all things holy get some better color options for wide width?? I almost exclusively wear Hoka Bondis, I've bought 4-5 pairs at this point. I was really excited to see the release of new colors, but of COURSE (like always) the cute pink colors are not available in wide. Why not?? I don't understand why wide width only always comes in the less appealing colors. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the ones available are ugly by any meansbut they're definitely not the beautiful bright pinks and purples that the normal widths are. I just want better color options, Hoka

Unfortunately, I have a very narrow foot. Try as I may, I couldn't make them fit soI had to return them. I would recommend them to anyone who does not have a narrow foot.

I usually wear a size 7.5. Going by your recommendation I selected a size 8. This was too big. I'd like to exchange the size 8 of a size 7.5; same style and color as original order. What do I have to o?

Not sure if I ordered the to wide shoes but they move around on my feet alot

love the blue color. cant have enough of these. only suggestion is to make thicker pad for footbottom

Good support and nice colors. I LOVE my Bondi 7, but you do not have them in stock anymore. The Bondi 8 is good too, but the ultra-cushioned material of the Bondi 7 was Amazing.

I wear these literally every day for classes and workouts and they are by far the best shoes I've had. I wish they were slightly more durable bc they look really beat up after just 7 mo but they've held up well enough through 5+ miles of walking every day and going to the gym. Definitely buying another pair

I bought a second pair, I haven't starting wearing them yet I was hoping to get a least six months out of one pair. I am a phlebotomist I stand and walk on my feet all day I don't think these lasted 4 months without my feet hurting again. I can't see paying almost 200 dollars for these if they don't last more then 6 month

Exchanged for another style

I'm a RN work 12 hours in a hospital, so I am always trying to find the most comfortable shoes. I've worn them for two shifts so far and they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn to work. The only thing is I don't really have an arch so I find that area of my foot is sore during and after wearing them.

If you don't mind looking down at your feet and seeing an extra wide rim / sole then this shoe is for you;. Very comfortable, but for me the rim / sole is too wide I felt my feet would hit together with each step. I bought this pair after owning Bondi 7 for so long. I LOVE my Bondi 7 and the colors. I wish it was not discontinued, My regular shoe is 7, both Bondi & and 8 I ordered a 7.5 as I walk pretty quickly. Didn't want my toe and toenails 'punching' the front of the shoe. Same with running shoes, always go up a size.

I really liked the shoe but they did not fit my arch property. I tried them indoors for three weeks hoping i would get used to them but they still were very uncomfortable around the arch of my foot. I even went to a local store and tried on a different size and model but I still had the same problem. Also, the return was very easy and quick. I got my refund on the same day I returned them. I wish they would have worked for me.

I stopped jogging on concrete years ago, these shoes allowed me to resume short jogs. priceless. I'm buying a pair for my friend who has arch issues.

As much as I wanted to love these, I had to return them. These are very plushto the point that my outer toes hurt after wearing them on multiple occasions. I don't wear a wide, but my toes have spread from years of running and hiking, so shoes with too much cushioning don't work for me. I exchanged for Clifton's, which I'm hoping will be more of what works for me. Fantastic returns policy!

This is the 3rd pair of Hokas I have purchased. The fabric on the toe area is different, cheaply made compared to my other purchases. They will wear faster, nail will pop thru eventually. No support. I have compared my other 2 pair with this pair and they are different. Have you changed something? Not the same shoe.

Just took them out for a snow run! Can't run in anything but holds since I got my first pair. These are great for casual runs

I love wearing the bondi. Just wish the most recent one have laces that are a little longer

Me and my wife heard of the issues with the Blondi 8 and we decided to go with them anyway because there were still some good reviews and we thought, what are the chances? Well, the chance hit. Comfy but nagging. Similar things others have said as well like not a whole lot of room like you need thinner socks. And returning them was a fun process. They only use usps. Was hoping for something more convenient, but we did get them sent off.

I'm on my feet for over 12 hrs a day on most days. I have halux limitus, bunions, plantar faciitis, and its getting very painful to walk and do what I need to do. My pinky toes actually popped out of my previous shoes, so I had no choice but to buy more shoes. Ive done extensive research for a functional shoe that will hold up to my special issues and Hoka Bondi 8 was brought up several times. I liked that there was a wide option, as I need a wide shoe. I bought carbon fiber insoles, as I need extra sturdiness when I walk. They are very comfortable and are working well for my specific needs. The only complaint I have is that they squeak with every step. They are also bulky looking, but I did not buy them for looks. Overall, they seem like they'll hold up for a while.

I have purchased this shoe several times before and always been happy. This time the tongue was only stitched on one side so it doesn't stay in the middle. Everything else about the shoe I love. Great stability with plushie inside that helps the osteoarthritis in my feet.

If you where Gravita or Clifton shoe; you may want to try on Bondi in person. They are a tighter fitting shoe and have a lower back on heel.
