Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

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.

Amazing, comfortable shoes. I usually wrestle between an 8.5 and 9 in nike running shoes. I like to leave some room for running and based on the reviews, definitely order your normal size. I chose the 8.5 and they were perfect! Colors are great - foam makes you feel like you're ready to go haha Highly recommended.

Will buy them again great comfort and support!

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!!

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

Got a new pair of Bondi 8 for work about 3 weeks ago because after 2 amazing years, I was due for a new pair. They have been nothing short of a disappointment. The only way i can describe this shoe is that it HURTS. I thought maybe I just needed to break them in but after 3 miserable weeks my feet are screaming after a few hours on my feet (I'm a nurse) and they're rubbing. What happened the comfy springy feel of this shoe? I'm so disappointed and worst yet, they were insanely expensive.

I LOVE MY HOKA THE BEST SNEAKERS IVE EVER BOUGHT

They must have changed the cushion in the new Bondi 8. I am not happy with the new ones. I have had several Bondi before and they were so comfortable and wide in toe area. The new design isn't as wide in toes and not cushy. I had foot surgery and couldn't wear the new ones I order for several months after I got them due to complications from the surgery. I would have returned these if I could have. So disappointed.

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

Great cushioning.

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.

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!

Use all day everyday

Great fit; great cushion

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 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!!

I have Morton's Neuroma and these shoes, with the help of a little extra padding make it easy for me to walk and run again.

I have been wearing the bondi shoes for 8 years now and love them. I'm on like my 8th pair. My husband also wears the men's Bondi shoes and loves them as well. They are true to size.

first time I wore them my legs felt very tired.

Having to re learn how to walk on my feet! Helped so much with that issue, but wish they would have the wide sizes. Has been pinching my baby toe on the right side. Also the insoles were not enough cushion and had to buy my own and use those. Love the colors and had many compliments on them. I am on my feet all day, so had to break them in. Again the box for the toe is not good for wide feet. If I could find a wide size, I would purchase these again in another pretty color.
