Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

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.

first time I wore them my legs felt very tired.

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.

My feet are so much more comfortable in these shoes that I now own three pairs of these great shoes in three different colors!

This is my 6th pair of Hokas that I've purchased. These were much tighter than any of the other ones and the tongue is not in the middle. It's off set. Not sure if this is a new design, but it's frustrating when getting the shoes on.

I've never had a sneaker I could wear pain free out of the box. There was always a "break-in" period where some part of the shoe caused me pain or created blisters. NOT THIS TIME! I start nursing school in August and I'm so thankful I found the solid black Bondi 8! I got this pair for running and will have another pair for clincals. :)

I wear these every day - we've been traveling across the Southwest and West coast of the US and between these and my Speedgoats for hiking trails, I've been super happy. The cushioning is great on my knees and makes walking a lot more comfortable.

Definite improvement over my other pairs of walking shoes . I wish they didn't look so enormous

It hurts my feet

absolutely love the bondi 8. thrilled some cool colors were finally available in women's wide. i have MS & the feeling i get on the bottoms of my feet can be very uncomfortable. my hokas have been a Godsend!! worth every penny. appreciate the pay in 4 installments. the fit gives me stability, the arches are just enough and the cushioning goes the whole length of the sneaker & the tongue is cushioned. bottoms are dense so you don't feel the ground.

I still love my hokas and I own several pairs for my job, but I have a few qualms. First off the bondi 8 just doesn't feel as soft to me as the bondi 7. It feels closer to me like a Gaviota, which is fine that is one of the other pairs of hokas I own but it's just not the same. Secondly the color choices for the wide women's bondi are sad. The wear blue uniforms for work and I want crazy colors like the offer in the regular bondis. I ended buy a pair of green men's bondis bc they fit similar to a women's wide. To me it's the equivalent of bras because exclusively neutral once you hit a certain size. Look if I'm getting a hoka, I'm already committed to the idea of wearing a clown shoes, they are massive, at least give me the option to have some fun with it . I love my hokas, I do. I recommend to anyone and everyone but I miss the days of my neon, salmon bondi 7s.

I've been wearing these a few weeks now. My feet still hurt . I stand 8 hours a day on concrete. I used the shoe finder and the Bondi 8 was recommended and the sales person the same. My right foot the heel hurts so much throughout the day.im sorry for the not so good review. I'm still wearing them. They cost too much not too.

These shoes feel great when I go on long walks. My arthritic joints don't feel a thing when I'm walking in these shoes. My only complaint is that I chose the wrong color. I will pick a darker color next time for sure.

Not as cushiony as Bondi 7, the Bondi 8 is ok but not as comfortable, I'm not totally satisfied but theyre ok.

Big HOKA fan. I love the Bondi 8 more than the 7. The toe box is roomy but somehow not as roomy. Max cushion, perfect for me who is on my feet for about 10 hours straight.

I ordered this shoe after taking the online quiz and due to an ankle impingement along with a fallen arch and this was supposed to be the best match according to the Hoka website but this was WRONG for me. FIrst of all, the shoe is super thick and bulky everywhere and it has a bump in the arch which left me blisters after giving it 2 chances only for a total of 4 miles. I have never had a shoe that hurt so bad Ihad to take it off during my run on the treadmill and put my Brooks back on. I can't imagine my experience being any better on a trail also the inside was not as soft and cushiony as you would expect from such a thick soled shoe the inside actually felt hard especially the heel part and it felt like hotspots all over my feet while running maybe it was a little too snug for my liking. I really wanted to see if there was a brand other than Brooks for me because the Hoka shoes are cute but it was not worth the pain for me. Maybe i will try a different model.

Bought these because people raved about how great they were for plantar fasciitis but they have NO arch support and made my feet hurt even more than before.

They changed the bondi, it crushes my left pinky toe, even the "wide". It was the perfect shoe before. I don't write a lot of reviews usually but hopefully it saves someone else time and disappointment thinking they are buying another "sure fit".

I was convinced to buy these shoes after seeing several great reviews as well as them being recommended by my podiatrist. These shoes are the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn. The bottoms/arch of my feet where on fire after walking less than a mile to work. They have also given me bad blisters on my toes. Definitely not worth the money and I am sad because they seemed very promising.

My arthritic feet don't hurt when I wear hoka bomdi.

I have two pairs and you can put either pair on and wear them all day. I hate taking them off.

I had the Bondi 7, and it was time to switch them out. Since I loved them so much, I decided to try out the Bondi 8. I was so satisfied with the fit and look! I got the "Summer Song / Country Air" color in size 7 wide. The only thing I would suggest is I wish the wide came in more color options like the regular sizes did. I prefer vibrant colors that will also go with an everyday outfit as well. But overall, I really like this product!

They are good tennis shoes but after a couple hours my feet are hurting and aching, does not hold up to the hype for medical workers. I have a pair of crocs (enclosed) work shoes and my feet never ache or hurt for 13 hour shifts. I was hopeful for these tennis shoes to do the same considering how much cushion they had but somehow in the design it just doesn't hold up for long days on your feet.

I really did need a supportive shoe or at least a moderate supportive in this brandI would say it has less support than other neutral shoes around the arch. If you have even a slightly high arch this is not the show for you either. It also runs larger by about a half size than Nike or Mizuno. It's also slightly wider but I wouldn't say a full size wider. That being said, I absolutely can see why people like it if a truly neutral support shoe is what you need. I think it's important to note that for people who are entering into higher quality walking and running shoes of this brand, the cushion is not the same has other high cushions of other shoes you may be used to. It's firmer and not pillow softit functions more for absorption for impact to protect your joints. I really would love to see a moderate support shoes in a high cushion which this brand does not have. I ended up keeping the Kawana for the support, but I would love if you made a moderate and not a full support (like the Gaviota) with cushion.
