Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

It is impossible to figure out the size. I have bought THREE pairs and still cannot figure out what size to get. I would suggest that Hoka take the time to define: USA women size And stop with multiple country measurements and its not clear if W means women or wide, and M means male or medium. US sales even on line should have clear US standard sizes

I bought the bondi 8s thinking it would be like the bondi 7s.. and now I'm stuck here with a sore foot because the bondi 8s hurt.. But they stop making bondi 7s for no reason smh.. what a waste of money

I wear the shoes for work and for walking.

Wore once but disappointed. The bottom of shoe offers more cushion like I expected but it hurts where the built inside shoe like it was made too high there? Would like to return Only wore once doubt will where this style at all because of that

this is my second Bondi shoe, so comfortable...but the white color is not white, is more like a light blue...

I had to return my first purchase of the regular fit of the Bondi 8 for wide fit. I've never needed a wide fit previously but they felt very tight in the center/side of my foot. I received the new, wide shoe and it doesn't feel very much different but I'll try it and hope it stretches. I sure hope it does. I have issues with my metatarsil and I do like how the front of the shoe is roomy.

I adore the style and fit. Very comfy for both walk and running

Hoka's we're recommended by my podiatrist 5 years ago and I love them. It's the only brand I buy now.

Works well for standing in feet all day

Hoka has changed so much with this shoe and materials, no longer a great shoe

I bought these because I see a lot of people at work wearing them. I figured they must be comfortable. But the arch support fits in a weird place and they literally make my feet cramp.

I've tried three styles of Hoka shoes for walking and returned to the Bondi. I need a wide shoe and the Bondi is perfect. Well balance and great for over pronation

My wife loves this shoe. She works in the medical field that requires a lot of walking!!!

It was a good choice, beautiful, comfortable, transpirable, was nice! Wish could be with more running technology system feels some rustic but it was good

It strong, help fully with ankle pain most important it has range of beautiful colors to choose from.

Love these shoes, this is my second pair. So comfortable, absolutely worth the money

I really wanted to love my Hokas since they seem to be all the range, but unfortunately, I am going to send mine back. While they felt good when I first tried them on and during the first half of my 5 miles treadmill run, I could gradually feel the sharp edge of the in sole rubbing the inside of my foot. I tried to readjust several times and kept going. Unfortunately, I ended up with a blister on the inside of my foot.

Not at all like the older style. Returned.

Thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you. I'm 64 and love to walk several miles every day with my dog. For a few months now I've been suffering with plantar fasciitis or some sort of tendonitis in my right foot. Being stubborn, I've pushed through most days and continued walking but it was getting excruciating. I googled what shoes were best for this condition, and Hoka Bondi 8 was one of the top recommendations. I ordered a pair (which were shipped very quickly) and after wearing them for just an hour or two, I nearly wept with joy. I'm able to walk with nearly no pain. I immediately purchased a pair of your hiking boots and have wish listed a few more styles. I will be wearing Hokas for the rest of my life.

I like the comfort for the most part but they are difficult to get on and there is pressure on the inside middle of my foot. Hoping this will disappear over time. I have flat feet and think the sole of the shoe is lifting my arch and my foot isn't used to it.

Had to exchange a pair that were squeaking. EASY BREEZY!!! Hoka customer service could not have been more helpful. After I sent them in - they sent me a credit for a new pair. Which I love and don't squeak. Try doing that with NIKE!!

I love the light weight.

These Bondi 8 are amazingly comfortable.

I run 20 miles a week and use orthotics. I have high arches and bunions.. I have been wearing Hokas since 2014. I'm still mourning the end of the original Clifton (with the two sets of insoles to choose from and nonpadded tongue). I'm embarrassed to say I have bought four or five pairs a year, every 250-300 miles. (Tried the odyssey briefly but I've always come back to Clifton.) I love them and have run a couple half marathons a year in them for nine years. Since Clifton 4, I have had to size up from 7 to 7 1/2 and since Clifton 6, I've gone to a 7 1/2 wide. The Clifton 8s weren't giving me the forefoot/sesmoid cushion I was used to and I was also getting blisters so I tried the Bondi in 71/2 wide. The cushion is great but my blisters are even worse (where my bunions are and on the side of my big toe). After buying almost 50 pairs of Hokas, I'm finally switching brands. I wish Hoka would bring back the earlier models that I loved. The newer models are great for walking and standing (like on a cloud) but not for running longer distances.
