Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

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 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!

I like these sneakers. My only problem is I think I need a 2D wide instead of a regular wide. Very cushiony.

have Plantar faciatis and these shoes feel great on my feet.

My podiatrist suggested these shoes. I was skeptical. I had so much pain with walking. I could hardly walk before I got these shoes. I'm not pain free but my pain is about 90% better. I had my last pair about 2 years.

Love both pair one pair of your shoes. I do not like very much. Not very happy with that but the bonsai I love.

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

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.

I returned a pair that didn't fit right and got to choose from the huge variety you have in size 10.5 wide (which is very hard to find) and found these beauties! They are my new favorite shoe!

I discovered Bondi when it was as Bondi 6 and being on my feet all day as a healthcare worker, they saved my feet!! Improved Bondi 7 eh, not as good but still comfortable. Moving on to Bondi 8.. horrible! My feet slide all over and definitely not as supportive as the 6 or 7. Please stop "improving "! They seem to be getting cheaper as far as how they are made and material.

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.

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!!

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

I have plantar fasciitis with heel spurs in both feet. These shoes provide the cushioning and comfort my very sore feet need.

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.

Customer service helped me find the right pair of tennis shoes. They helped me return shoes and reorder other shoes to help me find the right shoes. I ordered sent back, ordered, sent back and finally with their help found the right ones. The heal support is better than most tennis shoes. The arch is better than most shoes. The color is really pretty in the rose pink. I love the shoes. Feels like I am walking on cushions. I Like them.

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 .

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.

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.

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

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!

I have foot issues and these are the only shoes that allow me to walk long distances without pain. They support my arch and fit well. Wide toe box is absolutely wonderful.

All of my roommates and friends have their own Hoka's and recommended me these shoes. The website was super helpful and informative about the different shoe styles. I highly recommend these if you're walking a ton like me! They're super comfortable and fit just right!

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