Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Very comfortable, with a lot of support- especially since I have flat feet and overpronate. I just bought a second pair and am very happy

I bought these Bondi and I am so glad I did. I have worn out the last few pairs of Hokas so I thought I would try this style. These shoes are amazing. I took them out of the box and wore them to gym. With any other brand, my feet would be screaming by now. Not with Hokas. They may cost a little more but are SO with it!

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?

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

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 work in healthcare & am on my feet often & for long hours. additionally, I have neuropathy in both my feet. i 'surveyed' several patients I noticed wearing hokas-all unanimously praised. so glad I listened-the bondi are working wonderfully for me. my first time ordering wide footwear & that is a big factor.

These were a gift. I had been walking 20 miles a week until a bad sciatica issue, then back surgery. These were gifted to me (Mother's Day) and my lingering low back pain (after surgery) totally disappeared after my 2nd long walk w/my Hokas. I think they are correcting my walking posture. I love them.

I was so excited to try Hoka for the first time and when I saw these shoes, I had to try them. I absolutely adore the fit. I have flat feet and love how these support them. Great for being on my feet all day butI am not into colorful shoes. So with that being said, I ordered the white ones. I have a lot of white sneakers, and never in My life have I had to clean sneakers as much as I have to clean these. I could walk around in my house and they're dirty. I don't get it but if I have to clean them so often I can't imagine they will last. And for that price, I'll never buy them again. If you buyget the black! Lol

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.

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 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

There is no better shoe than the Hoka Bondi 8 if you're like me and have metatarsal and plantar fasciitis pain. I do take out the insert I t comes with tho and add a special insert from The Insole Store and I add a Heal Seat for for heal pain. It's a winning combination. Love these shoes.

I purchased a new pair of shoes as I had started walking five miles per day, five days per week. My friend spoke highly of the shoes as she also had a pair so I did some research of my own and decided to give them a try. I am happy with them (so far) and would purchase another pair -- assuming they last a decent bit of time and don't fall apart on me or rip. They are stable, supportive and comfortable. I also purchased a pair for my mom as a Mother's Day gift since she walks quite a bit and is in her 70s -- but never wants to spend the money on a decent pair of shoes. She is also happy with the shoes. If you are a walker, or even a runner I would recommend looking into these shoes.

I love HOKA however these shoes had a wide toe but the middle of the shoe is so tight I can't wear them. It has a tight hourglass feel that hurts my foot and I cannot wear them. I am going to try and get my money back. I tried wearing them several times but my feet hurt from the pressure in the middle of my feet.

I have bought Bondi 6 & 7 which were very comfortable. Of the two, Bond 6 was the best. Bondi 8 is a terrible shoe. They removed cushioning in the ball of foot area, and my feet hurt within a few minutes of wearing this shoe. I bought Bondis because of that great ball of foot cushioning after an orthopedist recommended the shoe. Unfortunately now I'm going to have to find another shoe brand that has the cushioning I need. I don't understand why Hoka has to keep changing the design. Keep a winner when you have one and just raise the price each year if increased revenue is your goal.

I don't want to do life unless Hoka is on my feet!

I am a medical professional and on my feet all day. I started wearing Hoka Bondis seven years ago after extensive back surgery. They were perfect!!! I loved the wide toebox, the plush sole, the rocking motion and the look. They were my favorite shoe of all time, year after year. Until this year, when I purchased the Bondi 8, a totally different shoe. My foot is a solid B width, yet I needed a wide in these. They didn't feel "right" in the shoe store, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong, so I bought them and wore them around the house. They were so clunky, when I put them next to my Bondi 7s I realized that the rubber around the toes is so wide, they look like clown shoes. The overall fit was way off. They were actually uncomfortable to wear. I wanted to love them, but I didn't even like them, and returned them. I hope Hoka goes back to the former Bondi. Why would you mess with a great shoe?

I've tried adidas, Nike, and so forth and I still always go back to my Hokas. I'm a healthcare worker that has to stand anywhere from 8-10 hours per day during a 40 hour work week. My feet feel great in these shoes compared to other shoes.

i thought it would be a better version of the bondi 7 but instead it feels way too bulky of a sole and the back of the shoe was digging into my heal. not just uncomfortable, but painful too.

I love the comfort of these sneakers.

I find these sneakers to be very spongey, not great support for knees and hips. Disappointed.

I'm a true 9 but have been getting 9.5 in other known brands. Live chat rep recommended sticking to size 9 and I'm happy I did. The toe box is wider than other brands which I appreciate and feel that all shoes should naturally have this fit. This shoe is incredibly comfortable for 5+ mile walks every day. 4 stars because the base/sole is wider than usual and at first I kept rubbing my shoes when I walked.

These are the absolute most comfortable shoes I have ever worn in my life. They are breathable and don't leave my feet smelly after a long day of work and I feel like I actually want to go out for a run in these and I never even run.

I have arthritis and I really could use shoes that you have to tie the laces.

I am a nurse and on my feet a lot....these shoes are so supportive and comfortable. I am so glad I took the chance and purchased them. I'll never buy another pair of shoes for work again.
