Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I use the shoe for comfort at my age. This is my third pair. BUT I do not like the way you attach the tongue of the shoe, on one side, to the inside of the shoe bottom. I'm tempted to cut that elastic holding the tongue down

I wanted to love them, but I am sadly returning them, not because of quality or cuteness, because they hurt the inside of my arch. I do have a low arch and I thought these would help. I wanted them to work due to constant gout pain and plantar fasciitis but they just didn't workout. I will be trying a different pair. I would still recommend them they just didn't work for me. It would be best to try different styles and fit on in a store, especially if you have foot problems.

Ordered the Bondi 8 and they are very cushioned, but there is something that rubs on the inside of the arch of my foot. Not sure if this is a defect or they just curve in to much for my foot where the arch is on middle of foot. I did not return them because I needed them for a trip I was going on. Maybe they will feel better after breaking them in.

Love it, just don't recommend buying online if you don't know your size.

I work in healthcare. I am able to be on my feet for long periods of time. They are a bit bulky. The size is accurate. They provide good support. I did not have an easy time contacting customer service. BOT is not great.

I bought these for a trip to Disney where I knew I would be walking and standing A LOT! They were perfect! I gave them a 4 because I had a couple rub spots on my feet (no blisters though!). I was averaging over 8 miles per day, so some rub can be expected.

First of all, pros: They are very comfortable with lots of toe room. I ordered wide as my feet are somewhat duck like. Cons: They have very wide soles that stick out all around the front of the foot, to the extent of looking like clown shoes. I have wide Speedgoat 5s that do not look clown like at all so I'm guessing its the design of the Bondi 8. Considered returning them because it does look a bit startling, but they were so comfortable that I put my vanity aside. Would recommend if you don't mind the big round forefoot.

I wear the shoe to work in everyday. It has adequate cushion. I don't like the sole, sounds like hard plastic. The Bondi 7 was better than the Bondi 8.

This product is great, I just kinda wish it had the same cushion as the Bondi 7s. It might be I need to wear these more to break them in or something but my old Hoka Bondi 7s were super cushiony.

Wearing these has reduced my foot fatigue and plantar fasciitis pain over the last two weeks. A blister began to develop on the outside of my left heel, but switching extra thick socks has made it a non issue. The size chart recommended a 9 but I bought an 8.5 (my normal size) and they are perfect.

I'm a medical worker so I'm running on my feet 9-12 hours a day and was sick of leaving work walking like Frankenstein & wincing with every step after work. I've only had them 2days but so far I LOVE THEM. They seemed a bit bulky at first. Like my feet looked extra wide but that's just vanity They feel great, they're light weight, they have fantastic support and my feet actually feel GOOD when I take them off after work. Finally!! I hope it lasts bc I'll recommend them to coworkers like mad! I initially ordered half size larger per your sites request but had to return : exchange for my normal size 8. But even return and delivery of right size was easy & so quick. Thank you!

I wear my Hokas to hiking trails and to the gym; it feels like you are walking on a cloud, which is very comfy. What I did notice, though, is that sometimes it makes the arch of my foot feel a little sore, but I heard that's pretty common; you just have to break them in. I got them in all white, so they are a little dirty now, but none the less, I love them. I love the "duck feet" shape when you look at the shoe from the top. super cute! When I go hiking, I notice that I see other women looking at my shoes and trying to see the brand, which I find really funny. If you're thinking about buying them, treat yourself!!

The Hokas give great support and are very comfortable. They did not disappoint.

I originally bought these shoes for my mother who walks a lot at her job and I knew these were gonna be perfect for her

Unfortunately, no bondi 7 left for sometime. Bondi 8 are good substitute but I am afraid they will replace these as well. I bought the Bondi X bc they were a better discount and regretted it after 1st run. They are hard soled and couldn't feel the cushion. I made an audible thumping sound when I ran which has never happened before with any shoe. Back of shoe protrudes making it a fall risk if you are going down steps (look at profile) and gets hung up on back of step. No padding in the tongue and I had to struggle to pull and straighten tongue every time I put shoes on. Returned and bought Bondi 8. Just wish manufacturers would leave a popular shoe alone and quit trying to "improve".

Love the Bondi's for my plantar fasciitis and flat feet;however, I noticed they wear out fast for at the toe mesh area. I would love to have that part reinforced in the next design because holes keeping appearing for me.

I've worn these shoes twice and the bottom part of the sole is starting to peel already. The shoe is very comfortable but paying 165 for a shoe that's starting to look old already is a bit much. I'm returning to get another pair and hopefully this pair doesn't do the same thing. I LOVE THE BONDI 8

Like shoe. Tongue is too short making it hard to slip on

Wasn't prepared for the serious "flare out" of the sole of the shoe. Looking down on the shoe, I felt like I was in clown shoes! I know it's for stability, but looks totally weird. Right shoe ru bed my arch, so it was a no-go all around.

I wear these when I want to have a casual put together look. I prefer Brooks Ghost for arch support and an overall better foot forming shape and feel.
