Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I purchased the Bondi 8 in Cyclamen in my size and regular width and put them on and they felt fine, and I knew that the shoes needed to be broken in. I wore them to work and had to take them off halfway through my shift as the toe box is very narrow, I had to take them off because they wore a blister on my toes. I sent they back and had to choose the black and white because the color I wanted isn't available in wide. I picked the violet and it isn't available in wide anywhere that I have looked. Very disappointed as they were recommended by so many of my coworkers.

I would not buy this shoe again. A lot of money spent :(

On feet all day and great for walking

Wide allows for more space and less foot pain.

Omg. These shoes are the definitely what I needed for my feet to not hurt. I'm in the Healthcare industry and I'm on my feet constantly through out the day. I really enjoying my shoes.

I am just coming back to running after a long hiatus. Always ran with the gel Kayano, as I am a forefoot striker. This shoe is poetry! Comfort from the moment I put it on, no break in period needed. I am a Hoka convert now.

I am a new graduate nurse who purchased my Hokas for use at the hospital. After 12 hours in these shoes, my feet don't hurt, my legs aren't super tired, and I make it through the day feeling great. I also get so many compliments on the style and color of my shoes. Will definitely buy more in the future.

I have several issues with my feet (plantar fasciitis, PTTD. piriformis syndrome and tendonitis) I have custom orthotics and they don't fit in a lot of shoes. The heel well in these shoes is perfect!!!!! My orthotics fit comfortably and the shoes provide so much stability and support. As soon as I put these shoes on, I noticed the difference. It's now been 2 weeks and the pain level in my feet and lower legs has subsided considerably.

Big, felt like a clown shoe to me. Was so disappointed in the wide (WIDE) toe box that had wrinkled material. Sent it back.

I have been buying the Hoka Bondi for years! I received my new set (Bondi 8)and noticed that the cut is not the same around the ankle bone. I actually loved this shoe because it had such a deep cut. I have such a short distance from the bottom of my foot to my ankle bone. Most shoes cut into it making it difficult to find shoes. I hope they fix this for the next model because they are so comfortable to run and walk in.

I like the spring to each step.

I wish I had bought this shoe months ago. Would have saved me months of pain and so much money. I have plantar fasciitis in both feet and had spent $1500 on a pair of inserts hoping to fix the problem. However, months later I was still in pain. A friend suggested I try on her pair of HOKA just to see if I would like them. I immediate went home and ordered these shoes. Sooo comfortable and cushions my feet. No inserts needed. I can now comfortably walk around and have even been able to use the treadmill at the gym with no pain. The shoe is so comfortable and the toe box is wide enough which is something that a lot of the big name sports shoes don't offer. I'm planning on buy many more of these shoes.

Just did the switch from Nike to HOKA & I'm so glad I did! I've had these for about a month. I've already done a lot of walking & even a 3 mile hike. Before these shoes I had a lot of pain in my feet. I'd sit down at a coffee shop for an hour and when I got up I'd be limping. Now my feet feel well supported and incredibly comfortable, pain is near completely gone. Fit is true to size, ankles are tight & do not slide. Love them! I did pair them with the Tread Labs foot insert (removed their insert) as it provided more ankle support (HOKA'S inserts were just a tad low / soft for your ankle) The combo of the Bondi 8 & the inserts allowed my plantar fasciitis to heal. Life long customer!!

Best shoe for people with foot problems.

Used these after hip replacement and kept me balanced and comfortable. These are very cushy and stable.

Bought as a gift and she loves them.

Since breaking in the Bondi 8 sneakers I've been wearing them everyday! I have also ordered them in two additional colors. Prior to wearing these shoes I have had sore achy feet everyday. I work on my feet all day long so a supportive shoe is a must for me. I'm also supporting a fair amount of weight on my feet making the need for a solid supportive shoe even more important. I don't think I could possibly go back to any other shoe at this point!

Got my new Bondi 8 shoes and they're great, just like my others. I really like the wider stance across the front of the foot area. It seems to be even more stable if that's possible

These shoes have lasted me 2+ years and I loved them so much I bought a second pair for outside of work! I work 12 hour shifts sometimes more and this shoe gives me such support I have no pain even after being on my feet for hours. Even when I was pregnant these shoes were a live saver when nothing else felt comfortable on my feet. If you're a healthcare worker or another profession that keeps you on your feet for long periods on hard floors this is the shoe for you!

I knew this shoe would be great before I had my whole foot in it. Walking on a cloud. Arch support is comfortable and I don't even know it's there.

The sole of this shoe is amazing! My foot is supported from toes to heel, and very stable. For support and stability I give it an A+. As a professional videographer this is a must have in footwear. The only thing about this shoe that I don't like is it DOES NOT have a roomy toe box. I personally prefer for the toe box to be roomy enough for my toes to wiggle a little and I can't do that in this shoe, event hough I ordered wide width and 1/2 size bigger. For toe box comfort I give it a C-.

They fit great. From the time I got them they are wonderful
