Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I am In love! They are more comfortable than their leading competitor and that's with my orthotics in the competitions shoe. They were so comfortable on my trip walking 10-17 miles a day my feet never hurt. I cant Wait to purchase more in different colors

I bought my Bondi over a year ago but just recently started wearing them everyday at work. I work in a hospital and am constantly on my feet. They are very comfortable and well cushioned. It feels like you're bouncing with every step. Unfortunately, very disappointed and surprised at the fact that the upper mesh is not very durable because there are already a couple of holes/tears in the meshing. Just for this reason, I would hesitate to purchase again.

It was too much pressure on both side of my feet. I had to return it

Very disappointed in the Bondi 8 redesign and returned them. I originally bought the Bondi line of shoe several years ago because the cushioning was fantastic and solved all my foot pain. However, the Bondi 8 shoes felt hard as a rock compared to the Bondi 7. I tried two different pair and they were both the same. The signature cushy, marshmallowy feel that I loved with the Bondi 6 and 7 is gone. Also the food bed was even wider than before. For me, the new design ruined the shoe.

These sneakers give me nice cushioning and lots of arch support for walking and hiking. I am amazed that the soles seem just as soft as they did on the first day I wore them. I expected they might compact quickly. I imagine they will protect me from getting plantar fasciitis again.

I had the Bondi 7 and loved it. Right out the box it was the most comfortable shoe I had ever worn. It was time for another pair and I bought the newest ones - Bondi 9. First, the tongue of the shoe is attached by a piece of fabric that is sewn into the side of the shoe. It's awkward and causes the tongue to sit to one side of the shoe instead of squarely in the middle. It feels (and looks) awkward. The support on this shoe isn't as comfortable as the 7 and my feet hurt after an only few hours of wearing them around the house. I would return them, but I've already worn them, Would not recommend.

I LOVE MY HOKA THE BEST SNEAKERS IVE EVER BOUGHT

I have pain on my feet , I just used them two times.

We bought this as a gift to our daughter for work and she loves it. She said she wants to buy 2 more for herself for work.

I feel like I'm walking on a cloud , great for walking and at the gym , I will never ever buy any other sneaker again !

Have gotten so many compliments!! The color is beautiful! Such a comfortable sneaker with plenty of room at the toe! Feels like you are walking on a cloud!!

Will buy them again great comfort and support!

Purchased Bondi 8 to replace my Bondi 7s. Such a big difference in the two. The 8s were so tight across my foot. My feet were literally sore from wearing only a short time. Not as cushiony as the 7s either. Too much change from one style to the next! Needless to say I had to return them! My miserable feet couldn't take anymore!

Sometimes my right foot hurts which makes my thigh hurt, only to have it stop when my pace changes. Not yet sure what to think. Will give it more time.

I recently bought 3 pairs of Hoka's. Two pairs of the Mach 5 which I Absolutely love. And one pair of the Bondi 8 which I couldn't be more disappointed in. Last years model was my favorite shoe of all time. I told everyone about them and how they changed my arthritis pain like they were magic shoes. This years version is more stiff in the sole and the front of the shoe(the rubber part) is SO wide they look like clown shoes. This morning I walked my dogs and the grass was wet/dewy and three feet into our walk the entire shoe was soaked. I'm not expecting them to be waterproof-not at all-but the entire shoe was soaked from the bottom. I'm not talking about stepping in a puddle here-just wet grass. This never happened with the Bondi 7's or my Mach 5's. Super disappointed all around.

I use hoka shoes for 2 reasons.1 I use them at work. I stand on my feet all day and these shoes are amazing. No pain in my feet. I also use Hoka for daily walks and hikes.

Got an 8w and while eventually there is some pain still for my flat foot they're way more cushioned for my heel than other models. Love them.

Great fit; great cushion

I purchased these shoes because I was experiencing painful plantar fasciitis and metatarsal nerve pain in one foot. These shoes fit great and are super comfortable and after wearing them for about two weeks my pain is gone. I wear them all the time now just to keep the pain from coming back. I'll need to buy a second pair so I can switch. I do recommend these.

Use all day everyday

Great for my everyday work in manufacturing. I do not sit down until break and these shoes are the best. The wide sole stopped my left knee from knocking.

I have been buying Hokas exclusively since diagnosed with plantar fasciitis years ago. I'm not a runner - I wear them just to be able to walk around without pain!

I bought the Bondi 8's as lifestyle shoes. I work as a camp counselor during the day time & these have been lifesavers for my feet. I will be honest- some of the reviews are true in that you can feel the arch of the shoe pretty evidently- but it's not a game changer for me. I love these shoes. They take a little while to get used to because they're so bouncy & comfy. Literally like walking on clouds. Also perfect for the person who wants to tie their shoes once & slip on & off. Worth the money!!

When I first put them on I felt like I have a bounce to every step. My only negative is I have to wear thick socks. The few times I didn't I had red marks on the top of my feet.
