Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I walk 2-3 miles at least 3 times a week. When the weather is not so hot I will walk more days a week. I have diabetic feet and have bone spurs on the tops of my feet and arthritis. These shoes have enough cushioning in them that I can walk without inserts and terrible pain that I have walking with other shoes. These shoes are the best I have ever walked in.

I tried to return the shoes and get different solids but not able! Very disappointing

Best hoka style yet!!

I ordered the Bondi 8 in a size 7 medium. It is definitely not the same toe area as the Bondi 6 and 7 medium, I then ordered the Bondi 8 in wide. the toe area is good. The style should not have changed for the toe area.

These are the most cushioned shoes ever. Great for old arthritic bodies. I can go five miles again.

I have neuropathy in my feet and I only wear HOKA shoes because they are comfortable and my feet don't hurt wearing them.

These shoes were just like the shell of a shoe. There was no padding in the shoes along with the bottom of them were extremely hard. Very cheaply made. It's like someone forgot to finish making them. Definitely not worth the price

I find them longer and wider than the Bondi 7 which I love.

These are my first Hoka's and I can see many purchases in the coming years. Having recently developed some foot pain, these shoes have returned the spring in my step. Great shoes.

I've been struggling with plantar fasciitis (due to standing on concrete all day at work) and my doctor recommended Hoka shoes, specifically models for road running because of the extra cushion. These shoes have helped greatly! I can get through the work day more comfortably than in my previous footwear and my plantar fasciitis is healing.

These are fat shoes and are not comfortable at all

They hurt my feet. Are too heavy compared to other brands.

This is my 3rd pair of HOKA. With my first pair, the backing of both ankles started to fray. I had it for about 1-1/2 years and most of my activity were long walks outdoors or on treadmill. Since I loved the cushioning, I gave it another try and bought a 2nd pair (Arahi 6); six months later, the backing of the ankles started to fray again. I called Marathon Sports where I bought them and asked for a refund or exchange. They only allow returns/exchanges from up to 30 days of purchase; they did recommend to send it to HOKA directly. Now,HOKA did the right thing when I sent the shoes and gave me credit. So, unfortunately, I have no other option but to buy another pair of HOKA; I got the Bondi 8 (an upgrade based on price). Now what will happen if the ankles start fraying again? We'll see. Let's hope it doesn't. As such, I am holding off on a higher rating or recommendations to friends.

I have had pain from Plantar Fasciitis in my heel for several months now. I've done stretches and massaging but have not noticed much improvement. I bought a pair of these shoes and have been wearing them with compression socks and although I am not pain free I have noticed an improvement.

Love running in these. They are awesome especially on my longer run days.

Hoka has always been my go to, ever since I developed neuropathy.

Love them.

I have problems with my feet and back; this is my 2nd pair of Hoka. I love these shoes. They are very comfortable and balance my posture more evenly. I particularly love the 2nd pair because it's in my favorite color, purple. They are roomy and allow me to fit insoles if need be. These shoes have helped with my back and feet issues and I highly recommend them.

I like these and am going to probably keep them but I ordered them in wide width and the toe box/ball of the feet area is wide but they are digging into the inside of the arch of my feet, which I've never experienced before, even with narrow shoes. Feeling conflicted about this and wondering if this won't be a huge issue down the line after being on my feet for hours. I've only been wearing them for a few minutes so we'll see. I would honestly return them but I ordered them for work so now there's no time for that.

I use my bondi hoka shoes for mostly walking and everyday activities and they provide wonderful support. They have a lot of cushion in them and feel so comfortable! They might feel and look very large but it's worth it especially when everyone compliments them!

Just received the a couple of weeks ago and will be wearing them when the weather cools off a bit, so I can't comment on wearability but I have other Hoka's so I see no reason I wouldn't like these. The COLOR is great nice brite blue and aqua.

I am recovering from hip surgery and was looking for the perfect walking shoes to get me on the road to recovery and these are PERFECT!! The fit is like they were made for me and the comfort is like walking on a cloud! I will definitely buy another pair and made my friend buy a pair as well!!!

Not as cushioned as I hoped but super comfortable. Why don't your sneakers have that wonderful propelling sensation the did years ago?

I bought my first pair of Hoka's because I heard that they are great for walking. I walk alot due to my profession. I bought 6.5 wide yet it feels like it's a regular medium 6.5. The first day I had them on, it made my feet sore and the corner of my left foot by the pinky toe was hurting.

Loved the style and of course the comfort of these shoes. But three days into wearing them I put them on and the finger slip on the heel broke :( exchanged for a new pair. This has never happened to a pair of Hokas I've owned!
