Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

This shoe was recommended by my podiatrist. I put off buying them because they are more than I usually pay for an athletic shoe. All I can say is I wished I had bought them sooner. They are worth every penny.

had to return it. I had purchased Bondi 7 & I was very happy. The Bondi 8 doesn't have the same cushioning & support. It's esthetically very wide & clunky looking as if I was wearing a boat.

I had blisters on the side of my feet. My arches hurt . I had to return my shoes.

The cushiest, most comfortable ever! I walk miles with my dog and for me Bondis are the best!

Something with the arches must be different because these HURT compared to my other bondi and the Clifton's they are so painful

It's great, not heavy with good support. My job requires a lot of walking and standing on my feet, before Hoka my feet was aching, but not anymore.

The shoelace holders dig into the sides of your feet. After some walking they really hurt and every step you take is painful.

I have a bad back which limits my walking or makes me stop often too relieve the pain. My sister has been a runner and now daily walker for years and changed her shoe to HOKA last year. She suggested I make the change for my back. I did and they are amazing! Of course, my back still has issues but the shoes help so much! I can walk longer and don't have to stop often to relieve the pain. Yea!

Walking/ hiking

My feet feel like I'm walking on a cloud and I feel my posture is straighter. Best shoes I've ever invested in.

So far they're great!

After two knee repair surgeries, I decided it was worth the money. I wish PTs would talk about the importance of good shoes!

Everyday shoe for me!

I purchased a boot and a shoe and they were very hard at the bottom and uncomfortable to wear.

My feet were in pain all the time since I stand on my feet at work. I have tried many things, but nothing worked as well as these shoes. I now feel like I can keep working on my feet without issue.

These shoes are certainly comfortable. But they are entirely not worth it. I bought these as a gift for myself and am so disappointed at how much I spent and how they are holding up. I've had them for several months and they are already falling apart on the inside and the soles. This would make sense if I was a heavy runner but i'm not. I will wear these on walks and that's it. They should not be falling apart this badly so soon. I had Nike Pegasus before this that lasted over a YEAR while I was a runner. These can't even hold up as walking shoes. I looked up their warranty and have to pay to send them back and might not even get a refund. I'm so so upset and won't recommend these. Extremely overrated.

This is a nice looking shoe and pretty comfy. I'm still sporting bandaids though and just not sure they're worth so many bucks. Definitely order a size smaller than you normally wear.

The foot liner cuts right into my arch. Not sure there's a way to fix it. I haven't decided on if I'm keeping them or not. They are shock absorbing though. They certainly aren't made to look good with their huge outer sole!

Only show that accomodates my bunions. Feels like I am walking on a gymnastics mat. So good for my knees and ankles.

I've ordered 5 pairs and totally pleased....I have purchased custom made inserts which make a huge difference in the comfort. My suggestion is you might want to improve in the quality of the inserts. Probably the best shoes I've ever purchased and highly recommend.

I stand a lot and have Severe arthritis in both feet. My Orthopedic doctor recommended the bondi and I fell in LOVE!

Returning this shoe. Bought a different style

They run narrow so o had to return them and just waiting now

My first pair of Hoka's were the Clifton 7, and I loved them with the exception that they were a wider fit. Personally, I have a narrow foot so I wanted to try a different style. I had heard nothing but AMAZING things about the Bondi 8. So I ordered a pair. LOVED the shoe, felt like a cloud. HOWEVER, the inside arch's of my feet where so badly blistered by the shoe after my 2nd run in them. The padding on the inside did not support my foot, so the outer material/ wiring of the shoe was completely rubbing raw the arch's inside the shoe on both of my feet. I was so upset to return them, but it was so painful I couldn't keep them. So I am very sad these shoes did not work for me, I almost wonder if it was a manufacturing problem? Either way, I wish they had worked out for me because they are a great shoe despite that.

She wears them for everything and refuses to get any other tennis shoe.
