Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

This is my third pair of the Bondi sneakers my 4th home purchase. They never disappoint and they truly help my back,legs,and feet as a walk on a concrete floor at work. I would recommend these for everyone who has foot issues.

I came to Hoka from Nike, where I thought I had already experienced the best shoes for comfort. I was wrong, and now I'm a Hoka evangelist. These Bondi 8 have effectively reduced foot pain that was a part of my waking life. I am not a runner so I cannot speak to these as running shoes, but as every day footwear, they're perfect - no more pain!

My experience with HOKA shoes, including the Bondi 8, is that they are comfortable right out of the box. The Bondi 8 has much more structure than the Mach 5. It is wider at the base with stiffer construction. It's a matter of personal preference. The Bondi 8 still has great cushioning, I think it's a great shoe!

These hurt my feet. Too much money for that to be the experience

Besides Brooks glycerin these are amazing

I wear this shoe as everyday wear and walking wear. they are so comfy and stable. I love this shoe, I now in 3 different colors

Extremely comfortable. Great fit.

Best shoes- comfort, stability and looks!

Shoe is like walking on air. I have a problem with seam inside rubbing my arch. I now have large bandages over seam and it is much more comfortable. First pair was about a half size to small. I exchanged. This one fits well.

Do not like the look or feel of the new design of the bondi 8.

they're good shoes. my favorite was the Clifton 8 but I couldn't find anything in my size that wasn't fluorescent and the Clifton 9 was so uncomfortable after trying it on the store, so I went with the Bondi (because it's my backup and they finally made some simpler, everyday colors. As someone who uses them as an every day shoe, THANK YOU!!), but they are really wide. Sometimes the inside sole of one shoe catches on the other if I'm not careful. I know it's good for stability but geez, they can look like clown shoes really easily and i've almost tripped myself a time or two.

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.

Love these shoes for walking and running. Great to travel through large airports!

I don't have exact words to describe how happy I'm with my tennis shoes , I'm in love with them

For the second pair of Hokas I've had, the inside of the padding over the heel cup has worn away, giving me a blister. Rather than return the shoes again I'm trying to fix this with mole skin and tape. Too bad; thet shoes otherwise fit well.

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

The shoes are good for walking. I'm on my feet at work for 8hrs. Because of your Hoka shoes I'm walking without pain again. Thank you!Thank you!Thank you!

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

I loved the Bondi 7, it was my favorite shoe. Sadly the new Bondi 8 is completely different. It's too narrow.

When I run I feel like I'm bouncing. Oddly when I use them to walk all day my feet start to hurt, but running has been amazing.

I love my Bondis. This is my second pair. They are the only shoe I will wear for walking any length of time. I have plantar fasciitis and they give lots of cushion on my heels. I have to add a better arch support, but that's an easy fix.

After three weeks, they still hurt. I find it very difficult buying shoes without trying them on.

Love but within one month of wearing, it already has wear and tear. The back of the shoes is stabbing my ankles. And sore is already sunken.

I bought these for a trip that was going to include a lot of walking and they did not disappoint! The color is amazing too! I am really loving the mauve like dusty rose color right now! I now wear them to work as a special education teacher everyday too!

This is my third pair of Bondi's!
