I’ve been wearing this sneaker for over 10 years. This Hoka Bondi 8 felt narrow and tight. I always buy the B width and my feet hurt wearing them. I’ve never had any issues over the years, but this years model is not as comfortable as years past models. I stand and walk on concrete for my job. The mesh upper doesn’t seem the same to me, not much give and movement once the sneaker is on.

These shoes are so cute but so terribly uncomfortable. I'm so mad because the price was so high and then the shoes do not live up to the expectation. I won't ever purchase Hokas again.

I am a long distance walker again, thanks to Bondi 8 HOKA! Foot doctor told me my high arches and not enough support in my walking shoes, caused tendonitis pain. I took his advice: rested 4 weeks, did the foot exercises and restarted gradual walking, in HOKA's. The total support from toe to heel is wonderful and my pain has totally resolved! I am so appreciative of your shoes!! I did go 1/2 size larger, for extra room for thicker socks.

The Bondi 7 is superior to the BONDI 8. The wider 8 base looks more like a clown shoe. No attempt was made using the color palette to break up the large surface like the 7 did.

The shoe has a lot of cushion, the toe box area is larger than the Bondi 7, which is what I read in the reviews. I've had 3 previous Bondi's and this one if very different than the others. So, I am undecided if I really like it or not. It is definitely "clunkier" than before. The shoe looks nice and I like the color. I almost returned them, but did not.

It's a great shoe. I got wide, and it doesn't feel wide at all, I can feel the arch seam dig into my foot, which shouldn't happen in a wide shoe. So if you want wide, this is not the shoe for you.

Good shoe. Really like the roomy toe box. If i could improve - move some of that high cushion that elevates heal to the front toe box to balance the foot out & add stability. I have plantar fascitis in both feet & work 12 hr shifts & hike in mtns.

The mold of the shoe keeps digging into my arch. It's so bad and I'm upset I didn't notice initially. The shoes are my size so it is a problem with the frame of the shoe. I really wanted to like Hoka and be able to run in these shoes so I'm pretty disappointed.

I'm a nurse and am on my feet for long hours. I took the quiz online to see which shoe would be a match for me and ordered from the selected list. I have coworkers who recommended these shoes so I thought it was the best option. I had worn them about 8 years ago but not since and I loved them the previous time I wore them. They do not feel comfortable at all, even after two weeks of trying to break them in. They make my feet ache and rub raw spots on the insides of my arches.

I am a Hoka lover and recently invested in a new pair of Bondi 8s to wear for an international trip this summer. I adore the color (pale mauve/peach whip) and the shoes fit comfortably. Unfortunately, I received a pair that were slightly defective with perforations and tears along the outer edge of the shoe. I called the customer support line and was offered an exchange, but the shoe is now sold out. I tried emailing Hoka to see if there was any program through which I could keep this pair for a discounted price or receive a partial credit, but never received a response.

I loved the hoka Bondi and they have been my go to shoes. The last comfortable version was the 6. The 7 in the same size I found to be narrower than the 6 and the way they changed the style pinched my toes. I have the Bondi 8 and find then narrow so I've tried the same size in wide and they are too short. I've tried the next size up in wide and they also don't fit well. This is extremely disappointing. Please go nack to the fir of the Bondi 6!

I bought these as a gift for my sister for her birthday - and she loved them! She told me she's a Hoka convert & has decided to switch to Hoka's as her new go-to shoe - she was especially surprised by how comfortable they were.

I purchased Bondi 7 last year to help with my painful feet issues. I stand on my feet at work and the Bondi 7 were sent from heaven so when they were worn out I thought I would be safe choosing the new Bondi 8unfortunately the new ones are a huge disappointment. My toes rub and there is not enough arch support or cushion. I worn them about 9 days hoping to break them in only to find myself in pain that began around my ankle all the way to my knees and hips! I am so sad and afraid I won't find anything that compares to my Bondi 7.

The sole makes you stumble. I am having trouble returning the shoes which were the wrong color. I can't access the code online, don't quite know how to proceed. Spent too much time already on the phone. eww

I am very disappointed with this shoe. I REALLY LOVED the Clifton 8' I bought last year. I have tried 3 pair this year!!! Not one of them was right. The Clinton's 8 had an ULTRA SUPER SOFT insole. Like a cloud literally!!! I have not found another like it. The ones I currently have are already feeling worn. I walk an average of 12 to 16 thousand steps at work!!!!
