Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Bought these sneakers for a vacation with a lot of walking - about 6 miles per day and my plantar fasciitis did not flair up! Feet were still a bit sore but the sneakers saved my feet and vacation!

I have planters flacitis and Hokas have a lot of cushion. This is my second pair of hoka sneakers now I am hooked .

After my last pair of Bondi shoes from 2021 I thought the quality was on the decline, something That had happened with many other running shoe brands. But there was nothing else out there and I was not going to give up yet so I ordered another pair of Bondis and I AM SO THRILLED! They are cloudier than the first pair I had years ago and those were like floating on clouds. These are more balanced, cushy, comfy and foot-loving than anything I've ever put on my feet. I might get a second pair for backup. Fantastic!

I'm no longer a runner, but I walk a lot and teach group fitness. I've been in the same brand of shoes for a decade, but decided to give HOKA a try. I'm so glad I did! I have arthritis in both big toe joints and wear orthotics for that and other issues. These shoes are great even without the orthotics, but sometimes I do need to put them in. They feel better than my previous "favorite" shoe ever did! You have a new loyal customer

Use for work

There was a few day adjustment period, but they are the perfect fit and comfortable. I stand for long periods of time and they give excellent support recently got some compression socks as well and the fit is even better

I've had these shoes for 6 months now. I wear them almost daily. They feel super plush under your feet but have lots of support. Keeps shin splints and plantar fasciitis pain at bay. I love the look of the all-black. Great for working out and long walks. I am in between hiking boots and hiked five miles in these with no foot pain. I love the wides, my toes have plenty of room. Taking a star off because the loop on the heel of the left shoe snapped the second day I put them on. I wasn't being forceful and on closer inspection the heel loops were not sewn on in a durable way. They also wear down quickly, although I may just put a lot of milage on mine. Seems like mine will last maybe another 6 months at the most.

I broke my ankle over a decade ago. There's plates, screws, etc and the inevitable arthritis. Finding a comfortable shoe that I can wear 12+ hours of my workday has been a struggle. I took a chance on these and man, am I glad I did! They feel like clouds, they don't hurt my ankle at all. The only issue was getting used to them since they do have a slight platform (compared to other sneakers).

I have neuropathy in both feet which causes balance issues. These shoes provide a solid base and help with my balance.

I have a wide foot and have never actually worn a wide shoe, this is my first! Thank you for making a shoe that still looks cute in wide.

This is my 3rd pair of Hoka Bondi shoes. When first putting on the shoe, I noticed I couldn't pull the tongue up and to the middle. I noticed that on both shoes, the inside section of the tongue is sewn so that it is less mobile. I called the customer service line and they were very helpful; apparently this is the new design on all the shoes to decrease dirt coming into the shoe. With a high arch, that means I am unable to move the tongue up to the middle of my foot. Given that I'm wearing these shoes for a non-dirty job, it is disappointing. The shoes are also less comfortable/cushioned as my previous pairs.

I'm an Orthopedic PA and am up in down in clinic / on my feet for extended periods of time in surgery and these have been a life saver. Helped with my knee and back pain! Never going back to another shoe again!

Bought these for my wife she was hooked on the Bondi 7s. But after trying out the 8s she loves these even more. We will definitely be purchasing more of these shoes this year.

It's worth the money. Super comfy. It's my new favorite shoes. I can wear it to work, gym and it's good for walking. Love the colors. I will definitely recommend.

I have enjoyed running so much with my first pair of Bondi 8 that I had to purchase a second pair to alternate. I use them for indoor HIIT classes that include treadmill running. I have previously dealt with plantar fasciitis and achilles tendonitis but my Bondi 8 shoes have protected my feet and I've had no pain while using them.

At 53, I need solid support and cushion to go the distance on my feet all day. These shoes get me there. I am amazed every time I wear them. My feet feel awesome. I highly recommend these wonderful tennis shoes. They surpassed the hype. It's real.

Love the shoes but I have one concern. They're quite right over my little toe. The jury is still out!

I LOVE my new Hokas - I'm walking through the streets of NYC like I'm floating on clouds. My feet are super happy and so am I!

These are incredibly comfortable and feel like walking on clouds. I haven't tried them out for running yet but primarily bought them for long walking days when traveling in walking cities. Looking forward to testing them out soon in London!

I have plantar fasciitis and these shoes are both extremely soft and wonderfully supportive.

I wanted to try these but I do have very wide feet I went up one size from what I normally wear and ordered the wide width but even with that my foot just barely made it inside it would not allow for my feet to move or stretch at all I'm going to try to go up another size and see how it fits

Love the feel of these shoes. My knees and feet can go forever now.

I've owned Bondi 6s and 7s ever since my physician recommended them to treat my sore feet. Every iteration makes subtle improvements that enhance comfort and fit, and the Bondi 8 is no different. The soles, particularly under the arches, provide excellent support for walking, running, and hikes. I've stood through concerts and logged 10 km with minimal discomfort thanks to the wonderfully plush design. The Bondi 8 fits small. i jumped up a half size ultimately. The 10 feels like a 9.5; the 10.5 is closer to a true 10. A full size up to 11 was too long, but not too wide. They do run to the narrow side, which works beautifully for me. The Bondi's beautiful colour ways keep improving too. Pictures don't do the lilac shade with reflective silver effects justice, and I'm loving the subtle transitions in colour. My one caveat with the shoe is in the heel. I've worn holes in the material in my previous pairs, and this pair is already sagging a little bit in the back. The design needs more reinforcement. Always unlace your shoes before slipping them on to prevent "heel collapse." Verdict: 4.5 stars.

It's not that comfortable on the back of the foot.

Wonderful shoe. Comfortable an light weight. Great cushion too.
