Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I have been wearing Hokas for at least 7+ years for running, walking and casual wear.

Super comfortable with no break in time, nice wide toe box. I get compliments about the color

I bought a half a size down from what I typically buy my shoes in and they fit perfectly. I'm a new runner and these are my first pair of hoka's and I have no complaints. I love these shoes. Nice and lightweight. I have no complaints about these shoes.

I love the look of these shoes and have heard so many great things about them preventing or lessening foot pain. I bought and returned pair a few months ago because the insole dug into the side of my foot under my arch. This time, I sized up to a wide shoe. Unfortunately, I had the same issue. The insole digs into my foot under the arch, leaving a red, painful mark. I do not wear a wide shoe in any other brand but I do have low arches. I guess Hokas just aren't made for all feet! It's weird because I compared the shoe to my Brooks and the size of the shoe across the midfoot is almost exactly the same. It seems to just be the construction of the insole that's the problem. The insole on the Brooks shoe comes up slightly in a wavy pattern near the arch so you don't feel the edge of the insole under your arch when you walk.

Not good for seniors

Love HOKA shoes. Still waiting for refund to go to the first pair which was wrong width.

The most uncomfortable shoes I have tried. Like a pair of rocks.

Bulky but lightweight...it makes me trip sometimes. My normal size was too big in this style. I sized down but am still getting used to them.

Very strange width and fit. Hard to run in. I prefer the bondi 7.

I have a problem with pain in my foot and knee that impedes my walking very far. These sneakers help a great deal, give me comfort in the foot area and less problems with knee pain. I can now take longer walks.

I started wearing these sneakers in black because I was on my feet all day & developed bursitis in my heels. My foot doctor recommended them to me.

I have worn HOKA for over 10 years. The Bondi was my favorite for the cushioning and responsiveness. The pair I just bought makes me feel like I am plodding along. I tried really hard to like them but I was never able to get past the lower calf and shin pain when I wore these.

I work on concrete all day so I needed a shoe that would be cushioned and could absorb impact. I purchased the Bondi 7 about a year and a half ago and they were a dream!! So now it was time for a new pair and of course I went with the Bondi 8. Although it's a good shoe it is definitely not as cushioned as the Bondi 7. I was so disappointed.

I work almost 13 hour days and my Hoka shoes are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn to work! They provide great support to my legs, feet and back.. I definitely will purchase another pair!

Good cushioning

Great product, only needs a little more cushion in the front of shoes The ball of the foot

New to the brand and was unaware of the tongue being sown to the inside arch area which made the fit to tight. Very uncomfortable.

I love Hoka shoes but the Bondi 8 are not like the Bondi 7. I am on my feet all day on concrete and the 7 were so plush and were comfortable. I was able to were other shoes because my plantars fasciitis was gone. These are more firm. They aren't bad just not the same as the 7

Definitely an improvement from her previous shoe. Daughter is a nurse and this is a game changer for her!!

Uncomfortable, felt like I was wearing a boat. Returned the next day

I usually need a metatarsal pad when I walk, but not with these!

Was starting to cause cellulitis I returned the shoes waiting for a return confirmation

Bought them again for a vacation that is coming soon. I can put them on and walk all day without any problems. The shoes are well made, very nice padding.

I am so glad I purchased this brand. They are very comfortable and my feet are no longer yelling at me when I get home from work. I will be purchasing a pair for my son and another pair for me. I'm also interested in trying out the sandels in the near future.

I have a heel spur and plantar fasciitis. I have to put in my foot inserts but once I do, I am in heaven! I can actually walk for a couple of miles, come home and not be in extreme pain. Very happy with these shoes. Finally, after 3 years of searching for shoes for long distance walking I have found my sole mates!
