Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Great support. True to size overall fit.

So cute, so comfortable, I get lots of compliments. When I first tried them on I almost returned them because the insoles were too narrow but once I switched them out for my orthotics they became my favorite pair of shoes.

The shoe itself is really lightweight, and I was instantly surprised that the cushioned heel feels as if you're walking on a marshmellow or a cloud with how it compresses with each step. Has some arch support which is nice, and my plantar fasciitis doesn't bother me with them. I see a lot of nurses and doctors at my hospital wearing them, so I decided to buy a few pairs myself! Glad I did!

I have been wearing Bondi's for several years now. I have arthritis in my feet and knees and these shoes have helped me remain active. The cushion is the best I have found and they help my feet feel good both indoors and outdoors. The sizing seems to be very consistent which is helpful for ordering by mail. Shoe also seems to be well-made. The toe box has a bit more room than some shoes, but is not too wide. I highly recommend these shoes.

I feel like I'm walking on a cloud

After trying multiple brands of shoes these are the only pair that do not cause pain in my bunions or pad area behind toes. The rocker bottom also prevents rolling ankle when walking on rocky terrain.

I like the style of the bondi 8, but its nothing like the bondi 7. The arch support isn't there, the cushion is not as plush, and overall just isn't as supportive. I wish we could just go back to the bondi 7 formula.

They are dark blue and I'm unhappy with that.

Bought these for work and walking. Love the colors and the feel of these shoes on my feet. It's like walking on cotton balls.

Speed walking

Love the colors and love the fit. So comfortable!

Super comfortable! I Love this shoe for everyday wear.

After reading all of the reviews, I was looking forward to receiving my Bondi 8 shoes. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that they are not nearly as comfortable as I had hoped they would be In addition to that, they are so wide, that I actually tripped over my own feet several times just walking around the house. They look like clown shoes.

It was perfect for 2 weeks and after that I started feeling pain on my heels , felt like my heel was pushing down than the foot . I tried one more week but it did not improve my pain

I bought this shoe in wide as I have bunions. But looking down at my feet, they look like clown shoes to me and I'm a little embarrassed to wear them other than for exercising in my neighborhood. The toe box just looks ridiculously wide to me, even though it fits well. Since my bunions aren't as severe, I almost wish I could've found a different shoe that looked less clownish or maybe just got the regular shoe and tried to live with a slightly narrower shoe. The shoes are comfortable as expected, but the foam doesn't feel as springy or as comfortable as other Hoka pairs I've owned. I can't tell if I'm just imagining this or if the quality of the foam isn't as good. As far as walking shoes in the city go, it's pretty comfortable, at any rate. I don't buy Hokas for style, but I wish this wide pair didn't look so unattractive to me.

I work in a hospital and I am on my feet all day and to top it off, I have plantar fascitis. These Hokas have saved my feet and my life. I started my Hoka journey with it's predecessor, the Bondi 7. I thought they could not get any more comfortable and then comes the Bondi 8. These shoes are super comfortable and come in so many cute color options. I have a purple pair that I get multiple complements on daily. If you are wondering whether or not to try these, do yourself a favor and get them.

I like that Hoka has wide width and good color selection plus the cushion is comfy. It's just that the arch of the shoe on the wide width hurts my foot because to me it's narrow at that area.

I love my year old Bondi Hokas. I bought 2 more pair same size but in the wide. Have worn them a week and my big toenails on both of my feet hurt. And they do not feel nearly as cushioned. I am going to have to quit wearing them. Not sure what happened but I am bummed. I am still wearing my old ones but have to look elsewhere for some other shoes.

I have been wearing Hoka's for many years after experiencing foot problems with other shoes. My friend who runs marathons told me about them and I have been obsessed ever since! I wear them for speed walking, running and all forms of exercise. They are amazing! I have never had ANY trouble with blisters or sore feet. They are the best shoe on the market. Thank you!!!

I don't run unless something is chasing me but I am over 50 and now it's all about comfort vs style. These Bondi 8 are comfy AND stylish. I am a casual hiker, treadmill walker, hiker and I have a bunion. Since having the bunion, most of my shoes have rubbed my feet or just been too tight. These shoes have given me comfort and style. I am able to wear them all day long without pain. There was no break-in period and they are so cute. They are supportive and give plenty of cushion. I tried other Hoka shoes and they fit well too but the Bondi 8 gives me the foot support along with the cushion. I can't recommend them enough.

I'm on my feet 10 hours a day and this shoe is amazing! It has comfort that helps my arch and it's makes me a bit taller (I'm 4'11). The only down side is that I constantly have to tighten the lace but other than that, there's no complaints. I'm planning to wear this to Disneyworld & Universal Studios next month!

I have fallen arches, a bad back, plantar fasciitis, and bad knees and these are the best walking shoe I've ever had. I'm averaging about 7.5 miles a day before my feet even start to hurt

These are the absolute best shoes I have ever purchased!!! My feet no longer hurt!!!! Also purchased a pair of sandals!!! That I absolutely love!! So glad I found Hokas

Very comfortable like them a lot

I honestly don't see the hype. I wear them to work for 12+ hours where I am essentially on my feet the whole time. Coworkers keep asking me if they are worth it and I don't really see the hype about them. My feet still hurt even after 3 hours on shift.
