Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I love the Bondi sneakers and have several pair. I ordered wide size this time and it is really wide, but only in the toe area. They look like clown shoes!

they are comfortable, I stand on concrete 8 hours a day so they are very helpful.

Just fabulous shoes. True to size. I've tried many high end athletic shoes. These are outstanding

I wear these for working in retail. Need something with lots of cushion for standing and walking long periods of time. I absolutely love my Bondi 7's! These Bondi 8's are nice for me but one flaw...the extra heel layer makes my arch in each shoe rub all day and now has sores on bottom of feet in the arch area. I have a great arch, just need the padding. Otherwise it would be rated a 5.

There was so much hype around these shoes being the most comfortable and the big thing being the wide toe box. I need a wide toe box due to pain in my toes, so I was excited to try these. There is nothing very special about them. They just look a little wild. My Reebok Nanos are more comfortable. My toes still ache in the Hook when I walk. So, really disappointed.

I really like the look and height but these are the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn. They are supposed to be plush but by the end of the day my feet were on fire. And the wide size are only wide on the bottom not on the top.

I work as vet techand, am on my feet all day. When I get home from work my feet feel great.

I am an experienced runner who started using these shoes to run with bad plantar fasciitis. The shoes are supportive and great for anyone with "flat feet" or plantar fasciitis, however, I don't recommend them for running. I trained to race a 10k with these shoes and got massive (2x2 inches) deep blisters under the big toe (1st metatarsal) of both feet. I had to take 2-4 days off from my training after long runs and limit my walking because the blisters were so painful. They have loose fabric (separate from inside of shoe) that attaches the tongue of the shoe to the side (I'm guesing to increase breathability of the shoe) - however this fabric is the cause of blisters. Multiple people in the running community have had similar issues with HOKA shoes. I hope they can change the design so I can keep using HOKA shoes to run without getting blisters!

Recently purchased by first pair of Hoka sneakers. Very room and comfortable. Excellent side and arch support. My only complaint is that the shoe itself is very heavy on my foot. It is fine to wear to work, light shopping, etc. But when I am taking my dog for a walk, my feet get very tired because they seem to weigh me down.

My feet love these shoes! I have been wearing Nike for years. The past several years my feet hurt after a few hours at work. I purchased these because a co-worker guaranteed that my feet would not hurt if I wore Hoka shoes. He is right! I wear them for my 12 hour shifts and my feet never hurt. I highly recommend them for anyone suffering with painful feet. Hoka shoes are comfortable and my feet feel great.

Just too heavy a shoe for me. I wish I hadn't worn them, so I could return them

This gym shoe is so comfortable. I had my toe fused recently and could not find a comfortable shoe & found this shoe to be amazing. I do a lot of walking & since my toe does not bend I needed a shoe that helps with that. It truly does. Thank you Hoka!

cushion is great. toe box is roomy. unfortunately it has a strange higher fit on right back to mid inside. This is already one size up and they are roomy other than that ridge/rub. second try with different model and both do this. never had this issue with any other brands.

There is not nearly as much support or cushion in these as there is in the Bondi 7. Was disappointed and returned them.

I go on long walks daily up to 6 miles maybe more every day. I was struggling with shin splints in my other sneakers until I tried these hokas! It's like I have a spring in my step the shoe is so light, so supportive that I no longer get shin splints or pain around my knees. These have really changed my life.

I LOVE my Bondi 7's so I decided to order another pair in black but they stopped making Bondi 7's when they came out with the Bondi 8's so I ordered a pair of those thinking they'd be similar if not better because I had read that they are "new and improved". I've worn them for about a week now and to be honest I am not overly impressed by the Bondi 8. They fit ok but just feel cheaper and less comfortable than the Bondi 7's and when paying that much for a pair of shoes I wish I didn't have any negative comments. I wish they still made the Bondi 7.

This is my second pair of the Bondi shoe from Hoka and I absolutely love it! It provides me with great support for running and walking making it so I can stay on my feet for hours.

I've had 4 pair of Bondi7's. They were a dream from the start. I have arthritis in my hips and knees and the cushioning enabled me to rake my daily walks without pain. WHAT HAPPENED? I was excited to get the Bondi8. From the moment I put them on they were uncomfortable, they felt hard and molded and the instep area was rubbing and it hurt. It also felt like my feet weren't sitting deep enough. Ughhhhhh so disappointed. I'm going to try to return them I've had them sitting unopened for a few weeks, getting the last life out of my Bondi7's. Why ruin a good thing HOKA? I won't be buying another pair. My search for the perfect is starting over.

I'm a CNA & for 10 years, my feet would always hurt during the shift & going home with sore feet. Now I saw someone post about HOKA & decided to try these shoes out. Baby let me tell you it's like walking on a cloud. I got be on my feet for 16 hrs without resting my feet. I never bought expensive shoes until now & yes I will buy me some more of these.

They are alright. Maybe if you're a runner. I bought the Bondi 7 bc I work in a hospital & they are probably the most comfortable shoe I have ever had on my feet. they were wearing out, so I bought the Bondi 8 since I can't find the Bondi 7. Not nearly as comfortable

Since they quit carrying my perfect Hoka one one Bondi 6 I ordered the Hoka one one Bondi 8 . Not even close to the amazing stability and comfort of the sixes . Why do they change a shoe that had a five star rating consistently? Seems to me you would let perfection lie .

I love this shoe! It's comfortable, stylish and all my friends use this particular style for the pickelball courts. The service is fabulous with this company. I had no problems exchanging it for another size . I now have several colors of the Bondi 8!!

Love these shoes. Have worn NB for years but these seem even better than them. I think they are true to size but not as wide as the NB wide ones.

I used to wear new balance and these are so much better. I was not going to buy myself a pair because they are expensive. My mom ended up getting them for me and I will never buy any other sneaker. My new favorite!

The middle arch is super uncomfortable. It would be the perfect shoes if that wasn't there. It was rubbing against it and hurt.
