Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

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.

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

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 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.........

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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 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.

Just found out I have bone spurs and this brand was recommended. They are very comfortable!

I love the color of this shoe and the the fact that I cannot feel the ground when walking. It feels like there is a spring in my step. What I do not like is that the toe part of the shoe is so big that I look like I'm wearing clown shoes. Also, the insole needs to be stitched down all the way around the inside of the shoe. When I received them, there was a very light gray spot on the top of one shoe. For the price of these, they should have been perfect!

I started with the Hoka Bondi 7, now have the Bondi 8. I love them, great cushion, and arch support, on my feet a lot. Comfortable and wear well. I usually have 2 pairs and rotate them.

The Bondi 7 was absolutely perfect for my bad knees. I walk 20 plus miles a week and never got knee pain with them. They actually got rid of my knee pain that I already had. But the Bondi 8 is much stiffer and hurt my knees again. They also look very wide due to the sole sticking out so far. The colors are all bad this year, so I got white, but the white on white made them look even wider. The men have great colors, but women's always suffer in this area. When will the Bondi 9 be released?

I hesitated for a long time to give these a try. I'd read the reviews, but I'm a zero drop Altra person. And while I still love my Altras, my Hokas are an absolute new favorite too!!! They're adorable, great colors, and walking or running in them is a SERIOUS cloud!!!! Divine

Soft and gentle on my bunions . I am an avid walker at 75 years old averaging 60!miles per week . Of late my bunions were getting bad and sore and restricting my daily walks that I needed to stay off my feet for extended periods . Tried all the extra wide shoes in the market with naught results . Read the reviews on HOKA shoes and decided to give it a try .Never regretted after taking them out of the box . Wearing them daily now . Bunion problems resolved . Bought a pair for my wife and she loves them too

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

I have tried other brands and they feel like I am walking in concert. I will never be without my Hoka's.
