Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I wear a solid black for the workplace. There is a squeak that starts on one shoe that is annoying. This is my second pair and same squeak. Great other than that .

I was diagnosed with bone spurs in both heels 25 years ago. I also have advanced arthritis in both ankles having been a competitive weightlifter and bodybuilder my entire life. If I want to walk pain free, my daily routine requires the use of custom orthotics, medical grade silicone gel heel pads, and both ankles have to be wrapped or taped. When I put these shoes on, it's the first time in 20 years that I only use my orthotics and NOTHING else!!! I can walk pain free without taking 10 minutes to put my shoes on!!!

i have worn hoka for years. love the fit. these are a bit chunky looking

Really comfortable. Nice and wide.

Has really helped my Plantar Fasciitis pain.

Perfect fit and comfortable

I found my perfect shoe for walking and day to day activities. I receive tons of compliments when I wear my HOKA's and plan on purchasing another pair. They are stylish and now my favorite shoe!

I was much happier with the Hoka 7 fit and style over the Hoka 8 it is a tighter fit and more uncomfortable

I tried the Challenger 7 in a regular and a wide width, and the Bondi 8 in a regular width. The Bondi is so much more comfortable overall for my purposes - which is walking outside and on the treadmill.

Very happy with my purchase will reorder again

I have 2 pairs of Hoka shoes that I just LOVE! However, neither of them is the Biondi pictured in the email I received. I am looking at that shoe to purchase next time.

I have seen others wearing HOKA and read many articles about HOKA. Each person I saw in the airport, walking in the streets and in stores had the same reply to my question "are these as good as they say" oh yes and better. Now I have proven it for myself. These are FANTASTIC!! Thank you

Very comfortable and stable. Helps my aching feet so so much. Easier to purchase online vs., the store as they did not have the same product, size or color.

The Bondi 8 appealed to me because of the high level of cushioning. I have hip/back pain from scoliosis and cerebral palsy. I need a shoe that can absorb the impact of my heel from my stiff stride. I'm always a true size six. For me the shoe fits big in length and width. I need to cinch the laces very tight to give my feet the secure hold they need. They are comfortable enough to like them but I wouldn't rave about them. I'm not feeling the "Walking on clouds" sensation that I was expecting and read about in the reviews. The Bondi 8 has some cushioning but there's nothing special about them.They also look very wide. I'm a smaller build and they look clownish on me. The more I wear them the more I regret keeping these pricey shoes.

I am so upset. I discovered Hoka's about 7 years ago when I was on a search for a good shoe for standing and walking. I found the Bondi 6. Seriously, the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I have wide feet and lower back issues and these shoes are life saver. Then I went on to Bondi 7's. Again Amazing. Then I decided to try the Bondi 8's even though some of the reviews were negative and finding the 7s is getting harder to find. I slipped one on and noticed right away they are narrower and I wear the wide width and run small. The heel is stiff and rigid and the tongue is sewn in and makes the shoe even more rigid and uncomfortable. I sent them back the next day. I need Bondi's for my 10 hour days at work. I don't know what I am going to do now. These are not the perfect most comfortable shoe anymore

The new Bondi 8 has been a life saver while trying to recover from a severe case of tendonitis. It is ironic, because the tendonitis was partially caused by the Challenger ATR 6, which changed in a very negative way for my foot. The Bondi 8 is wonderful!

These shoes are for work and I walk around A LOT. These are perfect.

I walk a lot and these shoes are awesome.

I bought these sneakers for my daughter and she loves them. She needs more support and always complains about feet pain. She doesn't complain anymore. I am so glad her doctor recommended to buy these sneakers. Definitely worth the price!!

Very good quality and extremely comfortable

I love it and I wear to work. I will order again.

First pair of Hokas and am loving them so far. Feels like I'm walking on clouds. I have only worn Adidas Boosts for the last few years and was scared to switch, but happy with my decision.

Only concern is the sizing. This is the 3rd style I've purchased over the years. For some reason, I've been a different size in each style which makes it difficult to purchase online.

I just purchased my 3rd pair of Hoka's and I am just as pleased with this pair as I have been with my others. I was able to put them on, out of the box, and take a quick walk and felt no pain, nor did I suffer pinching, blistering or discomfort.

It was comfortable from the moment I put it on. If I were getting them for regular socks I would not get the wide but with my heavy socks the wide is perfect. The ample tow box is great. And they're attractive. I got size 8W.
