Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

As other reviewers have stated please go back to the drawing board for this shoe. Went into Fleet Feet to get my new Spring Bondi 8 and was terribly disappointed. I wear a 8 wide in my previous 5 pairs of the Bondi and couldn't bear the uncomfortable fit, narrow in the toe box , short in length and overall a terrible fit. I ended up buying my first pair in the Clifton 9 and it was wonderful and felt similar to older Bondi. Please re think this one as fellow runners of mine feel the same

The Cushion and support

These sneakers are the most comfortable shoes for walking!! My feet are well supported and I don't feel any impact whatsoever!!

As an avid Hoka fan, I've been wearing their shoes for years. They really knocked it out of the park with the latest edition of the Bondis. I just purchased them in their pale mauve/peach whip color. This shoe is one of the most comfortable, stable shoes I've had. The changes made to the shape of the cushion have really made it more stable. I wear these almost every day, not only for exercise, but for casual daily tasks! I would recommend buying them to anyone I know!

I find Hoka to be a high quality shoe with super fun colors.

My watch tells me that I stand 9-10 hours a day for work. I decided to upgrade to Hoka Bondi shoes and the switch was well worth it. I ordered my second pair through the Hoka website, a light grey pair. While it was brand new, I was disappointed to see yellow discoloration where the laces meet the holes on the shoe, as well as where one would tie the laces. I have not noticed this "blemish" on other new shoes from other brands. However, I am probably the only person who would notice it daily, and I needed a second Bondi pair to rotate shoes so I am living with it. They are still the most comfortable athletic shoes that I have used for work, where I find I frequently walk and stand for long durations of time.

I am 35 years old and I have severe osteoarthritis in both of my knees. So far, these seem to help as far as extra cushioning.

This show still gives a cushioned step, but the size is not what I hoped. Bondi 7 fit perfectly - in fact, it was my dream shoe. I wish I'd bought several pairs. Bondi 8, on the other hand, does not quite fit right.

These are the most comfortable shoes I've worn at work. I'm a health care professional who's on my feet all day. My legs used to hurt by the end of the day. This no longer is true since my hoka shoes

I have bought at least 3 Bondi's a year for the last 4 years. I've always been a fan. But, the footbed of the Bondi 8 feels disappointingly more narrow and uncomfortable.

These literally have saved my feet, knees, and back. I've tried running shoes, inserts - you name it. A little pricey, but the investment for my body is worth every penny. Now I don't have to come home and rub Biofreeze foot cream on my feet anymore

I wear them waiting tables. They are awesome!

These sneakers took me a while to get used to. But now I wear them all the time. I use them for errands, working out, chores, etc. They are comfortable and feel like I'm walking on air! Going to purchase another pair!

I will never buy another shoe besides Hokas again. After wearing them for the first time I was so happy to finally find a shoe that doesn't hurt my feet! I absolutely love them!

Super super comfy and helps a lot with my shin splints. Good for heavy and light running.

I needed a new pair of sneakers for walking. For years, I had been wearing other brands, but I just wasn't happy. Until my daughter told me to look at Hoka. I love them! They have a wider sole that helps my balance ( I'm 77), the toe box seems a little wider, and they are light-weight. They help put a pep in my step and my knees and hips don't hurt when I'm done walking.

I really like your shoes; however, they are not wide enough for me. I was ordering the mens size 7 but apparently you have decided to not carry that size anymore. I now must purchase a shoe that is too long in order to get the width I need. (It still could be wider!) At least make the women's shoes wider. In some other brands I have been stuck with no color choices but at least I could get the correct width. I had to purchase black or white.

I have been dealing with some neuropathy and have some plantar fascitis. I recently had a trip to Las Vegas planned and knew I would be doing a lot of walking. My husband swears by his HOKAs, so I purchased the Bondis for their stability and cushioning. They really helped me get through the trip. Even though I was pretty tired from the amount of walking we did, my feet and legs weren't very sore. I feel the shoes were a big help. Will continue to wear HOKAs as part of my self care regimen.

I love hoka but the bondi hurt my arches

These are great for keeping my ankles steady and have great comfort with arch support.

Is my second pair of hoka and I'm in love with them looking for more colors my favorite is Bondi 8

I recently started working a position that requires standing, walking and light lifting in an environment with concrete floors. These shoes are so comfortable and replaced a pair of running shoes from another brand that I used to rely on.

I have bad feet and am very choosey when it comes to shoes. I have a pes cavus deformity among many other issues. These shoes are amazing!

Use for walking and at work

I have to returned and changed it to wide, it's too narrow in the midfoot, other than that, i love the shoes, supports me well, just hoping they can make more colors for the wide version.
