Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I am a baby boomer who has been looking for the right shoe for a long time. I recently had foot surgery. My surgeon recommended that I try HOKA shoes. I have a wide foot and had been wearing a man's athletic shoe for past years since previous foot surgery. I bought the HOKA Bondi 8. It was wide enough in the regular size B width and the stability and comfort are amazing. I now own two pair. I am a big fan now.

I had right ankle fusion surgery more than once and now that my foot is in a fixed position it affects how I walk on both sides of my body. My doctor recommended the Hoka Bondi as the best shoe for my condition and I agree. I only wish the tongue was not sewn attached to the shoe inside. It rubs a sensitive nerve and you can't slide the tongue over.

This is now my 3rd pair of Bondi's in less than 6 months. They're so comfortable and great support for me - I've recommended to so many! Once you've tried them - u won't wear anything else! Thank me later!

I recently purchased my 3rd pair of Bondis but the Bondi 8 just isn't the same. I unfortunately I had to return them because they were so uncomfortable I couldn't even wear them while sitting on a plane let alone walk or stand in them for more than an hour. Really disappointed.

I bought the Bondi 8 size 10W and it was the perfect fit! I wear a size 9 shoe, so one size up was great. Very comfortable shoe!!

My new Hokas are have ample cushioning and support. I wear a 7.5 in sandals but an 8 in closed toed shoes. The 8 was too big for me but I had not problem sending them back for a 7.5 which fits perfect. There is ample room in the toe box.

Love these shoes no more lower back pain and no more aching feet!! My only down fall is I got Brodie 8 and they are are made for wide feet but I love all the cushion.

This is the first pair of Hoka's that I have purchased that I am struggling with wearing....

I work in a hospital and I'm constantly on my feet! I've seen a lot of nurses wearing HOKA shoes. I decided to try them and purchased the Bondi 8. This show is very uncomfortable and heavy! One of my coworkers told me to try Hoka Clifton 9. I will be sending the Bondi 8 back for a full refund!

I wear my bindis for 12 hour shifts. I'm in healthcare & these are the only shoes that keep my feet from hurting. I usually buy 2 pairs to alternate each day & buy inserts about once every 2 months & buy new shoes every 3.

I have a recreational pair of Bondi 7. Fantastic. Got the 8 in all black for work (corrections). For some reason, slightly less comfortable. Light weight, breathable and sturdy with a solid sole. Love Hoka's shoes and highly recommend. Ordering was easy and shipping was quick.

I've been with ON for years and I bought these just to give them a try.. everyone kept telling me to try them! Well I HAVE NOT TAKEN THEM OFF!! I wear them everyday and they are amazing! I can not believe the difference! Leaps and bounds above the other name brands!! The support, the cushion, the fit, the step.. there's no comparison! I was blow away at the difference! I am 100% a Hoka fan! I tell everyone who will listen, BUY THESE SHOES!!

I have had 3 foot surgeries and these are the shoe that works best for my needs. I also have RA, so foot pain is constant. These shoes help absorb some of the shock when my feet hit the sidewalk or pavement. Many of the nurses in my Podiatrist office wear them too. Always pleased with this show!!

I was hesitant to purchase these because if the cost, but my shin splints convinced me. These are the best shoes I've ever worn. I expected them to be very soft and cushioned and when they weren't I panicked a little. But once I wore themno break in period. The shock absorption is top tier. My hips don't hurt anymore. My shins feel great. I will buy them again and again. Thank you, Hoka!

My podiatrist recommended these shoes for me because I have neuropathy in the tops of my feet. I hesitated at first, but when I finally got them, oh my goodness!!! I could walk again! They have been better than the last two pairs of orthopedic shoes I got. They give me stability, balance and decrease the pain greatly. I love having them on so much that I hate even having to take them off at the end of the day. So, I bought the Hoka slide on sandal and use it as a house shoes and I am walking on heaven all day! I love my Hokas so much that I bought a second pair in a different color. I have had many people ask about them or comment that they like my shoes. Then I turn into a commercial for Hoka and tell them how wonderful they are. If you have issues with your feet........get you some! I wear the Hoka Bondi 8. Such a great shoe.

Absolutely love these! Comfortable and stylish!

Love these sneakers. Super comfortable and lightweight. Runs slightly big so I wear thicker socks.

My recent experience with purchasing HOKAs did not come full circle. I ordered the Bondi 8 in a size 10.5 regular, which fit but my toe was right up against the front of the shoe. So, I exchanged them for a half-size up to an 11; these were too large overall and I was tripping over my feet as I walked. My physical therapist suggested I go to a store that sells HOKAs and specializes in shoes for runners. Good advice. I hope to find a pair of HOKAs that are the right style and fit for my needs.

I purchased the Bondi 8 it's definitely not what I expected! The shoe is heavy and uncomfortable! I'm still experiencing pain in the bottom of my foot. I will be returning the shoe for a refund!

I love these shoes. Not as much as the Bondi 7s since the new design is a bit too loose on my foot. But still a good quality shoe. I just wish they would design Women's shoe colors that have some options like the men's tones without pink. Not all women want pretty little pink, purple, & peach accents on all their shoes. I always end up with black and white. And it's a continuous complaint I get from a lot of women. We're not all girly girls Hoka. Just take into consideration for the next gens!

They are a lifesaver!!! I am in the medical field on my feet all day. Thanks for making such a great sneaker!!!

After bunion surgery Hoka is the only shoe I wear.

I had some running/walking sneakers previously that were causing me some aches in my knee.I was looking for something that I can run and walk in and I found it in these sneakers. One day after wearing these for my workout, my knee pain went away. Highly recommended for good arch support and I love the color.

This was my 3rd pair of Hokas. They are my favorite shoe but this style had a defect. The right shoe was tighter than the left and the sizing from toe to laces was shorter too. You could see a permanent dent in the toe area. I loved the color. I was disappointed I had to return. I am trying another style.

Every day for work, I'm on my feet all day walking, these are so comfortable
