Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

these were a gift for my mom, she is size 8.5 & said the 8.5 was a perfect fit and she loves them so much i'm getting her a second pair

This is my second pair of Hoka's; they were recommended by a friend but then it seems nearly everyone I know has a pair. I think it says it all that I was out of town and a voice by me (complete stranger) said, "you Hoka?" And was staring at my shoes. Said she has 11 pairs.

Wide width has a nice wide toe box

This is my third pair of Bondi shoes. My first pair were Bondi 7's size 7.5 Wide and my second pair are Bondi SR size 7.5 Wide. Both of those fit as expected. When I received the Bondi 8 shoes in the same size, 7.5 Wide, I was surprised to find the toe box was too narrow and had to return them for size 8 Wide. These still feel like the outside of the toe area angles in too much and causes them to be narrower than I want. I'm keeping this pair, though, and hope they stretch a bit when worn.

I like everything about it. I use them almost everyday. The only thing I don't love is that because of the color I bought, they can get dirty very easily.

These shoes are great for everyday.

I sent back because they were a little tight around the ankles. They were fine thru the toe area. Will try a different style or wider width

This would have been my 5th pair 7.5W Bondis in 3 years. The black trim on upper rubber sole area gives a moon shape to the front half of shoe. Very strange & clown-shoe like design. Very disappointed in this design change from prior years. Shoes sized correctly but gives illusion of triple width. Rubber trim details on shoe box not there anymore. Looks inexpensive.

We're traveling soon overseas and will doing a lot of walking. I bought these shoes because I have a heel spur and plantar fasciitis. These shoes are so comfortable and support my feet properly.

I love the design of this shoe and I got it because surely such a foamy and big sole would translate into a comfortable all day wear but it's not. It's soft to walk in but if you stand all day for some reason the sides of my feet would hurt so bad and I want to specify that I DO NOT have wide feet. The second thing is that my knees and shins hurt if I run with them but it doesn't happen with any of my other shoes. I looked this up and the super elevated platform actually causes more impact for your foot by creating more distance between your foot and the ground. Idk why more people aren't talking about this but for the price, Hokas are not all they are cut out to be. I kept mine because I love the design and they are fine for walking but not all day standing or running.

Best shoes I have found so far. Would have givin it a 5 star rating if it had better arch supports.

I want to wear these everyday! So glad that I purchased..

I have purchased soooo many shoes from Hoka, mostly Bondi's, but this purchase of the new Bondi 8's I'm gonna have to return. The shoes are not as comfortable as previous pairs and I am really disappointed.. they are not as plush or as comfortable as the previous Bondi's. it's been a while since I've made a hoka purchase because the colors, for the lack of a better term, ugly. I don't know what's going on over there at the Hoka center, but things have certainly changed and not for the good

Not comfortable

I have two pair of the bondi 7 and love them so I saw the bondi 8 in the pink and had to order them. They are. Super comfy and love the color even more in person!

I bought the shoes after I did the quiz. I wanted something for walking and running specifically with a lot of comfort for days I am on my feet all day. The first time I wore them I had blisters ALL OVER my heels. I assumed maybe I had to break them in and/or it was my socks. No, it's not either of those things. It does not matter what socks I wear or if I'm walking or running and/or if I have them on for 10 mins, 45mins, up to 12 hours.I get blisters on the inner and outer portion of my heels. Waste of money bc I can't wear them and I've given up trying different methods. A shoe that is for walking or running should absolutely not give you blisters.

Great Service and Great Shoes.

I can walk for miles and miles in these!

I love how the shoe isn't too narrow like most other brands. My feet have enough space and they are super comfortable to run in.

These are my every day shoes. I am on my feet all day and these are a God send!

This is my second pair I had to order 2 different sizes to get the best fit. There's more ankle slippage than I would like, hence the 4 stars.

I have Planter fascitis/ Achilles heel ,and I am on my feet a lot ,so I purchased these shoes. I was definitely expecting more comfort. They're sturdy, and the wide fit is perfect. I just was expecting more I guess for that much money.

This shoe is so spacious and so comfortable! I will be buying this again in the future.

love them for walking
