Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I was really skeptical because of the price, but I really like these shoes. Very cushioned. I do a lot of walking on the treadmill and these never hurt my feet. The only thing is you should really only wear them for walking. Tried to wear them for my workouts as well and they are so cushioned you cant get a good firm footing. They are very structured when you first get them, but about a week or two in they start to really fit your feet. I also would size up half a size. I'm normally an 8, but went for the 8.5 and they were perfect.

The arch support is far too aggressive for my aging feet but I do appreciate the foot bed stability. I will have to do some major adjustments to make the insoles comfortable

I've heard so many great reviews about this product so I wanted to see for myself! They feel like literal clouds on your feet. Highly recommend trying them out!

I wish these worked for me because they are so cushioned but the inner part of the shoe on the inside of the foot is raised weirdly and it hurts my feet so bad.

I upgraded from the Bondi 7 to the Bondi 8 thinking these would be just as great shoe as the 7's have been. I tried to wear the 8's for a week hoping my feet would adjust to them. Each day at the end of day my feet/legs were in soooo much pain and felt VERY tired. I am disappointed in the Bondi 8. The colors and style are so pretty, but the shoe is just SO uncomfortable. They feel very narrow and do not have enough support for my high arches. When first purchased the Bondi 7's my feet immediately fell in love with the shoe, and I wore them faithfully for a year walking around a hospital and standing for 12hrs a day with no issues. In comparison to the Bondi 8's my feet ached the entire day, and I could not wait to take them off. I really hope the next version of the Bondi's are designed just as great as the 7's.

My old shoes were giving me a callous on the ball of my foot. I didn't know it was the reason until I had the callous removed and put the shoes on. It was like there was nothing underneath my foot! So I bought a pair of Hokas because I heard they provided good support. And they do! I immediately felt the difference. I didn't feel that tender callous spot at all. I've worn them for about 3 weeks now and they are great.

My orthopedic surgeon recommended I transition to these shoes from the orthopedic boot I was wearing post surgery. The perfect shoe for me to wear while readjusting to walking.

I have Osteoarthritis and my doctor recommended the Hoka brand. I followed his advice and purchased the Bondi 7 and followed up with the Bondi SR. I absolutely love them both. I love the width, the high sole. It felt like pillows on my feet. I just purchased the Bondi 8 and I'm extremely, extremely disappointed. This is a horrible re-design! Why would you guys sew the tongue on one side?! It makes the entire shoe uncomfortable. Also, I purchased a wide width and it feels extremely narrow barefoot and really tight when I wear socks. Nothing about the shoe is wide. I never write reviews and for me to be on your website on a Saturday morning writing one just shows my level of disappointment with this shoe. Not sure what's the equivalent to the Bondi line for your brand because I definitely want to return this for something else.

I have flat feet and always struggle finding a supportive shoe that looks and feels great. Decided to invest in a pair of hoka's and they do not disappoint!! So comfortable when I'm on my feet all day. Would recommend over and over again.

These were some of the most uncomfortable running shoes I've ever purchased. Huge blister 1st time I wore them. Purchased because they supposedly had extra cushioning- not for me.

I just purchased them for the first time ever. I got them for my wife for her birthday and she loves them!

Bought these shoes on recommendation from my podiatrist for the stiff sole and rocker bottom. Thought the rocker sole would be more pronounced to be more helpful but it's still a very comfortable shoe if you follow the sizing recommendations. Didn't think I needed wide, but they were right.

They're like ur feet are surrounded by pillows!!

Feels like walking on cushions!!

I did not like the fix. they made me fall.

I have wide feet and I love my Bondi 7s. I ordered the Bondi 8s - they look great unfortunately the newer model is not as wide and caused me pain on my instep after a day on my feet. Sadly sending these backon the search for something as comfortable as the Bondi 7s.

I'm a full time nurse that works 16 hour shifts. Without my HOKA shoes that would be painful. Other brands in my op cannot compete. Bondi series all the way!

I have planters fasciitis and I own three pairs of hoka's. They have saved my life. I work on my feet all day and I would not be doing this without these shoes.

Perfect shoe for a 12 hour shift.

Comfort, arch support, design. can't wait to FLY!

I needed new walking shoes. I walk the dogs twice a day. I found the Bondi comfortable. I debated whether to get wide or not; with with regular with because it looked like the toebox was wide. I made the right decision. The first couple days my little tors got sore and i thought oh no. But i think it was my daytime shoes. I have been walking 8,000-10,000 steps s day and have had no problems. I got the mauve and love the colors. Will look to Homa for my walking shoes

this is my third pair of Bondis and they're still comfortable but this latest pair really squeaks when I walk! Also, they took a few wearings to fit the sole of my feet comfortablly which has not been the case before. I will still continue to buy them though.

I just purchased this product because I saw it everywhere at the hospital while waiting to get my surgery done. The hospital staff swear that it's the most comfiest shoe even after a 12 hour shift. So after my foot surgery I went and got a pair to help me with walking around at work and it has been the perfect shoe for me. Comfortable and gives you really good support when walking

So comfortable! Like walking on clouds. Supportive for my 10-12K days and comfort to avoid a recurrence of plantar fasciitis. Plenty of room in toe box. Lots of compliments on spring color.
