Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Coworker let me try hers on. Instantly could feel a difference in right heel as I have plantar fasciitis. Bought a pair, even though they do give immense relief and helps with plantar fasciitis when wearing, wish they had more cushion. My feet are hurting by the end of my shift. Can you suggest another type that may give better cushion? I want to love them more, as I said before, they do give some relief.

Needed them for work. I bought the wide but I think I should have bought M instead. Overall, still trying them out to make sure they continue to do the job!

I wore 7.5 wides in the Bondi 7's so I ordered the Bondi 8's in the same size. They are not as wide as the 7's and a bit snug in the toe. I already wore them so won't be able to return. Love Hokas just disappointed there was a slight size discrepancy from Bondi 7's to the Bondi 8's. I would recommend sizing up a half size.

I bought this footwear based on the recommendation of several staff members of the school where I work. I don't usually spend a lot of money on my footwear which has probably led to some of the problems I have with my feet. While I did find the footwear comfortable for several hours, I did start to feel pain in my feet beyond the few hours.

The fabric appears to be a very dark navy as opposed to black.

I was excited to get a fresh new pair of Bondi's after loving the life out of my Bondi 7s. While these shoes are still comfortable with the cushion and support I need for walking and standing for long periods of time, the Bondi 8 is missing the magic of the Bondi 7. The Bondi 7s were so plush and comfortable, the second I put them on my feet felt like they were walking on soft, pillowy clouds of heaven. The cushioning of the 8s are not as plush and they definitely have a firmer base compared to the 7s. However, the 8s do feel lighter and better-suited for road-running if that's what you desire. The fit in the 8s is also a little off. I typically wear a size 11 and the original 11s I ordered were too large in the toe box and the heel. I traded in for the 10.5 which fit slightly better. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase but I wish HOKA would return to the magic that was the Bondi 7.

Don't care for how the tongue is attached to one side of the shoe and they could be a little wider

This is my third pair of Hoka's, and I have turned my entire family on to these shoes. However, I find that the arch in this pair of shoes is off or something because they are not sitting right on my foot.

I have 3 pairs of Bondi 8's & all are less than a year old. I love them but noticed this week that all 3 pairs are wearing out on the inside of the heel cuff. The cushioning is great for me since I walk 4 miles every day unless the weather is inclement & alternate the shoes each day. I am wondering why this is happening when it doesn't seem like the tread is wearing out which is usually what goes right after the cushioning. I am disappointed that the fluff is coming out on the heels so now I have to decide if I need to but another very expensive HOKA shoe to replace at least one pair.

I love the Bondi line and I usually purchase 4 pairs a year (I'm a nurse!). I feel like Bondi 8 aren't as comfortable or cushiony as the Bondi 7s. I still love the Bondis, and will continue to buy them, but please bring back the cushy insole from the Bondi 7's. And please make more pretty colors!!!

I am a teacher and am on my feet all day. These shoes are some of the best I've worn. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars instead of 4 is the left shoe rubs the joint behind my big toe. I'm hoping the shoe will stretch and fit my foot better. Yes, I did buy the wide size. The shoes fit perfectly everywhere else.

my first pair was Gaviota, and absolutely no complaints. My second pair is Bondi, and I'm not sure yet. Hokas are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I have bunions and hammer toes so I order wide

These shoes are well cushioned and responsive, I found them to be very comfortable and well fitting.

I walk a lot at my job. Before wearing Hoka's, my knees and feet would hurt every night, but since I started wearing Hokas, I don't have that problem. I love the new look of the Bondi 8. When they first came out, I tried the same size as my Bondi 7 shoes. They weren't the same fit. The midsole was way too narrow for my foot, and it caused a callus on the side of my foot. I was disappointed but over time I tried on several different styles and none of them felt like my Bondi 7's. So I tried the Bondi 8 again but this tike a half size bigger and in wide (so the midsole would support my foot) and so far, so good. I don't think I will do the half size bigger next time, I will try just going to wide in my original size.

I work on my feet all day. I got rid of my custom orthotics and tried the Hoka Bondi. I have been able to wear them to work for two years with no foot problems. The only issue is that the lease is on once you are about 6 inches longer than on the other shoe, so that's a little strange.

I bought a pair of Bondi 7 a few years ago and loved how they fit and how my legs didn't ache anymore after standing for long periods of time. It was time to replace them, so I purchased the Bondi 8 in white. This shoe doesn't seem to have near the cushioning that the Bondi 7 has, and seems a tad too narrow for a wide width shoe. I didn't feel like I needed to "break in" my first pair ,but it seems I will have to with these. I think you missed the mark, Hoka. The comfortability of your shoes should be up to the same standard across all of the models you sell. Here's hoping they get better, because I loathe having to return purchases and these shoes are not cheap.

I've had Bondi's for years. My wide feet have loved them. This pair and the other I bought this year are slightly more narrow in the WIDE sizes than in the past. I thought it was just me. However, my friend has the same issue. Hoka, please address this! Make Wide Shoes Wide Again. Seriously, I can't bout them anymore unless this is fixed. A millimeter matters.

The cushioning is heaven, but I have to wear thick socks to keep the stability supports from giving me blisters.

I loved my old Bond 8 wides but the new ones had a larger base sole that stuck out just enough that caused me to stumble routinely. Also felt a bit smaller as my toes hit the end. Was there a change in mfg? So I'll try something else.

I love the comfort and cushiness of this sneaker. Just wish I would've ordered a half size larger.

The Bondi 8 looks great, is really well made, and fits well. It just is not as comfortable as Hokas I've had in the past.
