Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Hoka Bondi's are the only shoes I wear on a daily basis and they saved me from plantar fasciitis. I am a loyal Hoka customer and have bought them for years (Bondi 6, 7 & 8). Got the Bondi 8 in Harbor Mist and they were perfect. Also ordered Bondi 8 in the Black/White and they squeaked so terribly when I walked that even my husband couldn't stand it. Thought it was a one-off thing so sent them back and ordered from a different store. Same horrible squeaking problem so had to send them back too! What is going on? So disappointed.

They are light weight and super comfortable!

Very supportive sneaker! Nice wide all around bottom. Would definitely buy another pair when I need to! Wide fit works best for me!

The shoes feel like you are walking on a cloud. I have tried many shoes, since I have foot and arch problems. These are by far the best shoes I've tried. So happy my husband bought these for me.

I'm on my third pair of Hoka's and love them! I've recommended Hoka shoes to several of my friends. We are all in our 60s and 70s and all have had hip and/or knee replacements.

Have a calcification in my left heel, but due to an cortisone allergy, my treatment possibilities are limited. In desperation I tried these Hoka. They immediately helped relieve my symptoms. I actually walked through parts of Alaska while wearing them! That is why they are my miracle and why I took the time to write this review!

These shoes are very comfortable and supportive. I have small, fat feet with high arches and I pronate. These keep my feet in place and I can walk for a very long time with no pain.

The Bondi line is consistent. It is a durable and comfortable shoe that has served me well over the past several years.

I bought a pair of Hoka's on a recommendation and I loved them. My husband has a pair of diabetic shoes that were wearing out so I ordered him a pair. He LOVES them and he is on his feet all day!!!

I purchased these shoes at the recommendation of my chiropractor, and he was right! They have reduced my joint pain and allowed me to walk further distances. I like how they look and have received several compliments on them.

I had to have an all white shoe and hope these will be okay because I can't spend the day in any other shoe. These are the style that works for me. This is the fourth of my current shoes.

I have plantar fasciitis and these sneakers did not provide the comfort and support for me. Maybe there are different ones I should have tried.

Have neuropathy in my feet.these shoes are my lifesaver.

Love the Bondi. I have wide feet and heel spurs. These shoes are amazing. I stand on my feet 80% of the day, and they make all the difference in the world.

I have had some growing pains with my Hokas. I've been wearing them for three weeks. It may be naive of me but I was expecting immediate relief for my plantar fasciitis. My feet felt worse :( and I started having knee pain. I have high arches and the insert that comes with the shoe apparently isn't enough for my feet so I decided to put my NB arch supports inserts in as well. The pain has eased, thankfully.

I plan to return my shoes. They are too tight around my bunion and I need more space. I did get the wide width.

I do not run and I have been wearing Bondi 6 for two years and they have been perfect for me. I have several foot problems and I have been able to walk comfortably in these shoes. I realized it's time for a new pair and since Bondi 6 and 7 are no longer available I ordered the Bondi 8. They are nothing like the #6 and did not feel at all comfortable. I don't know why Bondi makes changes in sneakers when they are working well.

I bought the woman's Bondi 8 Wide and it is perfect!

I am a runner and replace my shoes every 5 months. I have enjoyed Bondi's for years. But sadly I was extremely disappointed by the Bondi 8. The sole was way oversized for me. When purchasing running shoes I try not to be influence by the look of the shoe but I had to draw a line here. I felt like I had clown shoes on and my family agreed. I returned them and purchased a Clifton. A much better look and also a great running shoe.

I walk, workout and everything but sports with these sneakers. You should really make a court shoe for racquetball, Tennis and pickleball.

I have issues with pain in the balls of my feet when walking long distances. So I did research on a comfortable shoe for that issue and these kept coming up. I will say that they are very comfortable for the balls of my feet, but very uncomfortable for my toes! I try to walk a 5K about 5 days per week during my lunch break. I do NOT have wide feet (as a matter of fact they are more on the narrow side), so I ordered these in 9.5 medium. Length is perfect, but the toe box must be narrow. These gave me blisters on the outside of both of my big toes (I do not have corns or any weird shaped toes). I was hoping I would break them in and I my feet would adjust. But the one blister on my toes got so bad it got infected! I also got smaller blisters on the bottom of my one second toe. I even tried wearing bandaids on my big toes when I walked - didn't work. I was beyond my 30 day guarantee, so I am stuck with these. In the meantime, I have to find something else that works for my feet. Very disappointed in the waste of money, but I guess I should have sent them back rather than waiting for them to break in. Back to research.........

I take a brisk 3-mile walk every day and so far these shoes are working well for me. I'm getting used to the way they support my foot and ankle and feeling hopeful that they will help my knees and my Morton's Neuroma.

I'd thought of the Bondi as sort of the gateway shoe to full-on Hoka love, as I certainly love my Bondi 7s, but when I purchased the Bondi 8 for my mom as a Mother's Day gift, she was underwhelmed. Said they didn't seem supportive enough. I had gotten the wide because she has such wide feet, but she also said they didn't feel wide enough. So I went back to the Hoka shoe finder, plugged in her parameters, and the suggestion was the Gaviota. Huh. So, I ordered those in a wide and she's totally smitten! She loves them, said they're wonderfully comfortable and feel very roomy. Who knew?!

These Bondi shoes fit well and provide the comfort I need.
