Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

My friend has been trying to get me in Hokas for a few years. I regret not doing it sooner!!! These shoes are FABULOUS. They have reduced my ankle pain. I have a lot of metal in my ankle, and arthritis in all of my joints. Pain in my knees, hips and back have been greatly reduced as well. I am actively working on staying in motion and increasing my steps, and these shoes are helping. When I put them on I feel like I can run. And I actually did, even if it was just to get out of a Torrential down pour, I did it. I am so sold on the Hoka brand now, I have a pair of their recovery slides, and just ordered a pair of Hopara sandals.

The shoes are great. I love them as always. Love the cushioning and stability. But the shipping was not expedited.

In an age where customer service doesn't exist, HOKA has set the bar so high, there is no way another shoe company could come close! I purchased a pair of HOKAs in August of 2022 from a local shoe store. In February, the shoe lining started to pill. By April, it finally tore. I was getting ready to toss them out when someone told me about HOKA's warranty on shoes! I got a copy of the receipt and mailed the shoes and return form to them to see if the shoes were under warranty. Within two business days of receiving my package, I received notice that HOKA was giving me a credit for the entire original purchase price on their website! AWESOME!!! I will sing their praises to anyone who is looking for athletic shoes! Many thanks, HOKA ... your warranty policy rocks!

The fabric attached to the tongue created a crooked pull to the side.The inside sole was stiff and sharp around the edges. As a result it wore a large blister on my insole even though I always wear socks. I considered sending them back but swapped the insole from my last pair, cut the netting that was holding the tongue crooked to one side and they feel okay. I hope this is not the new normal. This is my fifth pair and I'm hearing people are switching to Brooks because of Hoka issues. I have been a positive promoter in the past for Hoka. I'm hoping this time was a flute.

I bought these sneakers with the hopes they would allow me to walk several miles a day on a trip to Europe. I have had on and off Plantar Fasciitis and other foot and ankle problems. These shoes have been miraculous! They feel great and have kept me pain-free! Wish I had tried them months ago!

I'm really considering returning these. I'm so disappointed. I finally ordered these and was so excited to get them. Well, they were just delivered. The toe box in these is super wide. I am not happy with the fit. I loved my Clifton 8's but I am not thrilled with the Bondi.

Love my HOKA's! My Orthopedic surgeon and his surgical team all wear them too. That's a recommendation you can't ignore. Please make more shoes in wide width

Very comfortable and I use them for work and fitness training.

to look at them on pics I loved them but when I received them and put them on I look like a clown...there so wide! my kids laughed at me

I'm a walker alternate 6 miles one day and 4 miles the next when time and weather permit. What is there NOT to LOVE about my HOKA'S!!!! Extraordinary comfort; colorful; and stylish!

I'm not a runner and honestly these shoes are not my style but I needed them for foot injury and comfort and they are fabulous. I'm getting a second pair !

daily wear, work outs, hiking

I ordered online and when I got my hoka's and tried on they felt snug and wasn't sure about the fit as they were snug but after wearing them on awhile they broke in great and became very comfortable. They give me a 2 inch lift and are the most comfortable feeling tennis shoe I've purchased. Don't be discouraged if they feel tight at first.

I have back and knee issues and have tried so many brands that I was about to give up These shoes are awesome I will be purchasing more!

The fit is a bit weird, the support doesn't feel as cushiony as the Bondi 7, and although I am wearing themthey are overall not as great as the shoe I fell in love with. Definitely disappointing.

I do not like that the tongue is attached on one side rather than free floating.

These shoes are really comfortable

I had high expectations after reading all the reviews here, but I'm happy to say they lived up to them. I often had knee pain when running and was hopeful these would help. I've used them for about a week and have had no knee pain like in a previous shoe, as well as no tingling in my foot since there's decent space in the toe box. I am one that is used ti a more stability shoe and I may try Hoka's stability shoe to see the difference but over I'm happy with the shoe. It's extremely comfortable and cloud like. As a last note, the show is true to size for me. I'm a 9 in street shoes and a 9 in Hokas. I tend To have narrow feet but as I run I don't like a show to be constructing and these fit the bill!

Unfortunately not wide enough for me though I ordered wide. Felt good at first but after a couple hours on my feet at work I started having pain on the outside MTP joints. I tried the Clifton and same issue. Now stuck with expensive shoes I can't use or return.

I am very happy with my new Bondi's, they are so comfortable...I have a bunion on one foot and needed something that had more width and didn't bind my foot-and these did the trick. I also feel they have good support and truly feel like I'm walking on air in them. I did have to adjust slightly to how wide and tall the sole is compared to my old sneaks but that took no time at all. I ordered the same size I wear in nike but got the wide.

I have MS and heel spurs and these have been great for my needs. Very cushioned and comfortable.

Has been great for my planter fasciitis, love the colors

Dissatisfied and sad.

Second pair of these shoes. I could walk for 5 miles every day with these on. Great support, fun colors.
