Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Trying to break in my shoes and I am not sure how I feel about them as of yet. I have heard nothing but good things about your shoes and so hoping I will reap the rewards. This 3 star could go to a 4 very fast. I walk a lot for exercising so comfort is my goal. To be continued

Love me some HOKAs, however these 8's do not live up to the fit and plushness of my 7s. I read through other reviews stating the same, but purchased anyway as the 7s were such a magical shoe that I hoped the 8s would pull through. Can't say I'll purchase these again, but will see these through by revolving wear with another brand for daily walks/runs.

I love my new HOKA sneakers. They are beautifully designed, the color combination is gorgeous and most importantly my feet are grateful. I feel like I can walk up the hills of SF and even run with much greater ease. Stylish and a pleasure to wear. I look forward to putting them on.

I don't think I've ever worn a more comfortable running/walking shoe!! Plenty of cushion yet stable. and they're really cute, too!!

At first I really loved these. Then I started getting numbness in some of my toes. I've never experienced this with any other shoe brand and always wear regular width shoes. If it wasn't for that, I'd give them 5 stars.

This is my second pair of HOKA and Now I have my Hubby wearing them. I am a healthcare worker, on my feet alot. I am older and also overweight. I wear my HOKA'S at work and still feel like walking with out pain after work.

I work in healthcare and I have to be standing for long periods of time and these are a game changer. Highly recommend if you are looking for a comfortable pair of shoes that are not going to hurt your feet when standing all day. Definitely getting another pair for casual wear.

I have the worst blisters I have ever had and can barely walk. I have never had a running shoe do this to my feet. I would like to return them if possible.

Great for walking. The Bondi 8 provides the support and cushion that my flat feet need.

I'm an avid walker and I just started wearing the Bondi 8 and I can say that I love them! They are more cushioned than the Arahi 5's that I was wearing and allow me to get through my 4 mile walk with ease.

This is the most comfortable walking shoe I have ever worn. I wore them all over on my tour of Germany. My feet never hurt!

I walk 3 miles every money and it is like walking on air!

These shoes are wonderful. They are comfortable, offer great support, & look good too. I have purchased previous Hokas (Cliftons are fantastic too. The Bondis are by far my favorites. Yes, they are spendy, but a great investment for your health, & feet. I walk 3-4 miles a day, & mostly on concrete surfaces. My feet still feel great when I get home after walking with these shoes. They are well worth the $$$$$$$. Buy a pair, & you will thank yourself.

These work great for me on the road or on a treadmill. I've been suffering from shin splits lately and these help ease the pain significantly. Feels like running in clouds, corny I know, but omgosh best purchase ever. I did go a half size up but it feels like my true size would've been perfect too.

I have plantar fasciitis and these are so comfortable.

Ok, so I bought my first pair of HOKA ever in Jan 2022 (the BONDI 7 in white). They were a lifesaver. They got rid of all my lower back pain, but I decimated them in just over a year, had to see the inside back heel interior twice and the soles were all uneven and worn down a lot so the back pain came back. I go for a long walk everyday, and I worked most of the year as a stand-in in film/tv. So those were just wrecked. This is my second pair (the BONDI 8, in black this time bc the white was on back order). With a couple of days in these new ones my back pain was gone. Back to feeling 100% amazing. I can already tell they'll hold up a bit longer. The sole is thicker. I feel like they might be a tad larger even though I ordered the same size. I wear a 6.5, probably could have sized down, but you never know so I'm sticking with them. I'm in love with them. Thank you HOKA. I've lost over 40 lbs on my walks in my HOKAS xo

I wear them daily and for walking.

I work in the airline industry. I am on my feet all day. Hokas are all I wear at work anymore.

Purchased a pair for my wife. She raves about them. Going to get a pair for myself.

Feel so good on my feet

They had no arch support

In medical settings.

I am so glad I tried my first pair a month ago! They help me walk all day long without pain and the COLORS are so bright and happy!! I love them!

One fitting good and the other feels like it has no support. Minnie has a pair already that wear well.

The Bondi 7 was the most amazing shoe I've ever worn, for the walking life in Europe, and recovering from a sprained ankle. The store didn't have wide sizes when I bought them, so I decided to upgrade and get wides. I am so disappointed by the changes they made to this model. Not only has the base gotten ridiculously wider so you can't put your feet together, but the heel doesn't fit the same and does not have the cushioning of the 7. For some reason they sewed the tongue to one side, so I cannot open the shoe to accommodate a brace, or even if my good foot swells a little, the tongue pulls to the stitched side. I would cut it, but the rest of the shoe is nowhere near the comfort I had from the 7, so I'm returning them. Will hold out to find a miraculous pair of Bondi 7's somewhere on a clearance rack. So disappointed in this style change.
