Clown shoes. I know size 11 is big but these look crazy. And I didn’t like the fit with my orthotic.

FOAM NOT AS SOFT AS BONDI 7. At least this pair isn't. Disappointed that the Bondi 8 does NOT offer as much cushioning as the previous model (Bondi 7) that I've enjoyed. Especially under the ball of the foot. Perhaps this pair is a lemon? Also, the Bondi 8, this shoe, seems to be designed so the front half of the foot is a lower than the heel. I much prefer the Bondi 7. The sole is much wider overall on this one than the Bondi 7 as well. It splays quite a bit from the 'sock' of the shoe.

The heel is too low which causes your heel to slip up and down. I really miss the Bondi 7! These just aren't as comfortable!

AMAZING SHOE! At first, they were larger than what accustomed to however acclimated quickly. I wish the all white had a black bottom though as you can see them dirty quickly (not a complaint, just a wish). I think I'll order the black and white pair next!

These shoes sat in the box for a month because they screamed exercise to me. Exercise I did NOT want to do, had no energy for. I finally put them on. My feet no longer hurt. There is a pleasant rebound effect- a bounce. It's like having knee cartilage again! My feet no longer hurt. So, I need a second and third pair. And nothing else til I see my podiatrist but dang- I just did not understand the difference good shoes can make.

I bought these on recommendation from my nursing student daughter and I love them. They all but eliminate the pain from plantar fasciitis and I feel like I'm walking on springy clouds. Thank you!

When I walk around the track, the bottom of my feet hurt and the shoes make an irritating squeaky noise that I can hear with my headphones on.

These were my first pair of Hokas. My daughter has been wearing them for 5 years. When I first put them on, I couldn't believe how light thet are. The mesh material is light, but strong. I was able to use my orthotics, and the shoe is still the most comfortable I have worn. I was wearing Kurus but they are now gardening shoes. The heel cushion is exceptional. The shoe hugs your heel firmly but gently. They give you a comfortable stable motion, with a little bit of push off in the toe. If they were a little less expensive, I would buy multiple pairs!
I'd also recommend:
Sketchers slip ons.

Without a doubt, my Rokus are the best shoe purchase I've made. This is my first pair of Rokus, and they have surpassed all my expectations. I broke a bone in my foot several years ago and thanks to these shoes, I am running without foot pain for the first time since the accident! I wholeheartedly recommend these.

The HOKA Bondi 8 is the only HOKA style I tried that felt comfortable on my feet. Their extremely cushioned soles make for a bouncy gait, and that the soles extend beyond the sides of the shoes feels unstable at first but I've adjusted to it. However I wouldn't feel comfortable making quick moves in it, I would think I could trip on the soles. I've found that I prefer to feel the ground under my feet w less cushioning.
That said, I've given 5 stars bc they r fun to wear for neighborhood walking but only with capris as they are too ugly w long pants!

I bought the Bondi 8s for our trip to Europe as I thought the extra cushion would be perfect for all of the walking we'd be doing. The cushion on bottom is fantastic, however, the area around the toes is a bit narrow, so any downward sloped walking causes the shoes to rub up against the toes and squeeze them together, which is not pleasant. I think the toe bed needs to be a bit wider.

Not sure I will like the new style of the Bondi shoe. It's too big for my narrow, skinny feet. Doesn't feel snug and supportive anymore. I buy two or three pairs of HOKA shoes every year.

If the wide sole was just a bit narrower it would be perfect. While I love the stability I have tripped myself a few times as the soles will catch when I am walking.

I bought a pair of the leather shoes for work and they have helped my feet and knees from hurting for I stand most of the day. So I bought a pair of tennis shoes to wear on vacation.

I use this shoe for outdoor fitness walking. I am a little disappointed in the toe box of the right shoe. It looks like it should be very roomy, but I am finding the right toes to feel a little squished. I love the cushioning.
