Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

The shoes fit amazing and are the second pair of Hoka's I have bought. I have cancer and had both of my fibulas removed and my feet have felt the impact of those surgeries. I'm so glad for Hoka and to finally get some relief. FedEx on the other hand didn't deliver it to my address, which is plainly visible, and delivered it across the street to the wrong address with is also plainly visible. Thank goodness I have a very nice neighbor!!

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.

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 was so excited for my Bohdi 8 to arrive in their beautiful raspberry color the first thing I did was step into them. Immediately I could feel the extra cushioning behind the heel and on the tongue of the shoe once I pad my foot all the way in I felt like I was sliding it into a dream. I lost my shoes and went to work. I wore them all day long where I stand for 12 hours as a nurse. By the end of the day I could barely walk out of the building, my Achilles tendons were so much in pain I could barely take it. I thought it was just because it was a new shoe and I would have to get used to the nice squishy padding underneath. The next morning unless them up again went back to work for another 12 hours, grimacing and pain the entire day I just knew my foot would have to get used to my gorgeous new shoes. It has been six days now and every day I wear them for 12 hours. I walk strangely now because my Achilles tendons are in so much pain. I don't think they said shoes for me. There is just too much padding underneath the bottom of my feet, maybe some thing that holds my heel up a little higher than the front of my foot I'm going to have to trade them in for a different shoe.

I wear them every single day. My favorite shoes ever. I've got one more pair on my list. I can't wait to try the SR version.

I have been wearing this type of Hoka for several years. I will not wear anything else. I am a nurse and on my feet all day

Perfect fit and excellent styling with tremendous comfort! Love them!

Healing my feet.

I have been getting the Bondi series for the past few years and they never disappoint. I also got the trail boots and they are amazing. I found that if I get the wide ones they don't need any breaking in. Straight in the mileage. For me it's the bounce and the arch support that does the trick. I can walk for 7 hours straight and have no joint or muscular pain,compared to other brands. All I can say is that they are my go to footwear and I'll keep buying them. I also recommend them to everyone I know.

I bought this shoe in a neutral color for home/outings to complement the black Bondi's I wear at work. I cannot walk without my Hokas. I have a pair of Hoka sandals for home. They are helping me heal. Go buy some for your own hurting feet.. now!

My podiatrist recommended these sneakers. I never paid so much for a pair of sneakers. They feel good. Let's see how they are after a trip to Disney. Roka recommended I wear a size 8.5 because I wear an 8 with New Balance. I had to return the 8 1/2 and got an 8. Much better.

Box came a mess like they had no care in shipping. Take the shoes out and it looked like they cut too short on one side and was just like oh well. It really seemed like it was a previous return and just sent right back out with a new label. Emailed and texted with no response. Nice shoes, poor company.

I really wanted to love them. I think my foot is a bit too small and narrow for Hoka. I wore the shoes twice to walk. It was a road/driveway type path for probably between 3-5 miles each. Each time the left shoe rubbed a blister on the inside of my heel. It rubbed where the sole met the side of the shoe both times and left a blister after walking that far. I don't know if it is the design of the shoe, or if the heel area of the shoe is just too wide for my foot. Either way, customer service was fantastic to work with. They sent a prepaid return label, and it was super easy to return. I'm very thankful for the Hoka guarantee and that I wasn't stuck with shoes that just didn't work for me. I would definitely recommend buying from here. If the shoes work for you, fantastic (I have so many friends that LOVE their Hokas)!! But, if not, you can return with no hassle!!

I work in the healthcare industry and on my feet for hours at a time , when going home everything hurts but my feet I will buy every color that I like because these are so so comfortable

This is my 5th pair on bondi's They have extra cushion where it is needed. Love them!!!!!

Shoes hurt my feet terribly. I wore them three days and then my back was hurting as well. I exchanged for a different type that I'm waiting on now. I hope they are better suited for me.

I miss the previous style of Bondi! The cushioning was better in the old ones and the new ones are wider in the front of the foot.

These are phenomenal in providing arch support. As a nurse on my feet everyday, all day, I can attest these are greatly reducing back and leg strain. These have made me a hoka FAN!!

I purchased for work as I'm outside and on my feet the majority of the day. I was having stiffness in my hips while wearing a different brand. So I decided to try these as I am a runner and have been running in the Clifton's and have loved! They have been great, no more stiffness, extremely comfortable!

I have bad feet. My doctor recommended I try a shoe like this instead of surgery. Great decision. I am able to walk 4 mies a day. I needed a shoe with a wide box and this shoe is perfect. Run into people that ask about them or tell me how much they like theirs.

They are not as comfortable as my last pair not so sure how they're going to do for me at work.

I love HOKAs! I must say that the Bondi 7 wide was much more comfortable in my 8 1/2 wide foot. The arch was tight and there was less cushioning.

I was really hopeful that I would love these but I had to return. I am an avid Brooks wearer but after hearing so many people say they loved HOKAs I decided to try. I have very, very flat feet with basically no arch. I have never needed a wide shoe because my feet are fairly narrow, but the arch of these shoes are SO NARROW. The toe box and heel width were extremely comfortable but my inner arch was hanging over the insole of the shoe. I wore them for a 2 mile walk and they were okay. Then tried them at work for 9 hours and my feet were so sore at the end of the day. If you have flat arches, I would consider ordering a wide even if you don't normally need wide shoes and see if it's a better fit for you than it was for me.

I use Bondi8 shoes for daily walking and biking. For the past weeks, I have been having heel pain which would not go away. This is the main reason why I need shoes with lots of cushions. The pain has decreased significantly and I'd recommend this series to anyone.
