Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

This show is amazing. After 12 hour shifts I have no pain in my feet. I'm glad I've finally invested in these amazing sneakers. Hoka

I really wanted to like the Bondi 8. The forefoot had much less cushion than the Bondi 7. The tongue is oddly sewn to just one side of the shoe making it awkward to get the shoe on. This shoe will do for shorter runs, but I sure miss the perfect cushioning of the 7!

These have great bounce back and feel like they're pushing you along, but they're more for walking than standing. Your feet will hurt if that's what you're doing. If you need to, I suggest a customized orthotic. I received my shoes with a scratch in the rubber bottoms. I was bummed considering their price

I have tried these shoes a couple of weeks and they really hurt my feet. My feet didn't hurt before I got these shoes. They cause me to have to soak my feet after work

Wish you made bindi 7 or 8's in the color periwinkle

Still playing with lacing them up so my toes don't hurt.

I have 5 pair of bondi 8, I have arthritis and very bad knees and depend on support from my bondis every single day

These are my second pair of Bondi's. I bought the same size as my first pair. The left shoe is very uncomfortable. I will be sending back and hopefully getting a new pair. Maybe the sizing is different? Wondering if I need to go up a half size.

I have had the last 3 pair of Bondi's This is the most uncomfortable so far. The tongue is tied to the side of the shoe making it impossible to move. The cushioning is not all that good either. I had to buy inserts to even come close to the other Bondi's. Hoka needs to make a better Bondi 9 or lower the cost of this poorly made shoe.

I started wearing HOKA shoes around 2011 when my orthopedist recommended them for me. I had chronic Achilles Tendonitis. As an attempt to ward of surgery, he recommended I try HOKA's. The difference was close to immediate. I walk 2-3 miles about 5 times a week. I've not had any foot pain since! They are the best!

On the Bondi 8 they've added a tether to the shoe tongue which makes the shoe unwearable for me, I can't get the tongue to the middle of the shoe. So disappointing!

I have been wearing Hokas for three years,but this my first pair of Bondi 8s and the first time I ordered wide width.

Took my feet a few days to adjust, but are now comfy and make walking a joy. I like the roomy toe box and all the color options are nice. I did end up sizing down from my normal 8.5 to an 8 and it feels just right.

Bondi 6 and Bondi 7 were great, Bonnie 8 is awful. The ball of the foot area is flared out so wide that I could not walk straight ahead without tripping. Every time I took a step one foot would rub against the other as I walked forward. It's not the actual shoe part around the foot but the rubber base that flares out. Why so wide?

I use one pair for indoor walking (track) and one for outside walks. My feet feel so good, I'm able to go 5 miles no problem at all.

My hokas make such a difference in gettin through hikes and long work days on my feet! I get a half size up to give my toes some room with an extra cushioned insert.

Walking/jogging very comfortable and helped relieve arthritis in one big toe. Recommended by podiatrist.

I use my hoka's everyday, I work in a warehouse I have to be on my feet 8 to 10 hours. This are the best. I recommend to my coworkers.

I feel much more stable in these shoes because they are wider than normal. Will definitely buy again.

I loved Bondi 7 and bought 2 pair. The redesigned Bondi 8 makes my feet hurt, and my feet never hurt before. Why change a shoe people loved. I've worn Bondi 8 for 2 weeks and am returning them. Now I have to find another shoe to replace the Bondi 7 that I loved. Bring back Bondi 7 design!

Caddy in these shoes on the PGA Tour ! Nothing better

I have three pair of Bondi 7. I love that shoe. A new pair would always make my feet and back feel so much better than the pair that I had worn out and it is the shoe that made me a Hoka fan. The cushion and comfort could not be matched. But when Bondi 8 came along, I thought they could only be better. I was right. Then I was wrong. I was right in that Bondi 7's cushion and comfort couldn't be matched. I was wrong that Bondi could only be better. I am so disappointed in this shoe.

Love them so far

Fantastic shoes! Very comfortable. Used all day at universal studios with very little use ahead of time and they were great. No problems at all.
