Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

By far, the best in terms of comfort. I get these in a wide due to foot arthritis (since my 20's) and need room so my feet do not get squeezed. The only reason I did not give a 5 star review is the insert is thin. I replace with a Vionic shoe insert. If you produce one like theres I will buy it. My feet thank you!

Please,be careful of that it is too narrow

I am a person that previously only wore athletic shoes when exercising, these shoes have converted me. I have arthritis in my knees and have long standing issues with knee pain. As soon as I put these shoes on the pain started to resolve. I am walking taller and straight with no limping.

I purchased as this shoe as It was recommended to help with planter fasciitis. They are very comfortable, but, I don't care for the wide width rubber sole.

the shoe is pretty however very uncomfortable for me. The inner cut digs into my inner foot. I suppose if i had higher arches i wouldn't feel this. But will be returning immediately

I wear these all day long. They are great for my plantar facitos

This is my favorite shoe. Ever. I was skeptical after purchasing the Bondi 7 because it just didn't seem to live up to the hype for me. However, after giving Hokas another go, I can say with 100% certainty that you need these in your closet. I'm a medical student, working 12+ hours per day on my feet and these provide the perfect ratio of cushion:stability to help me get through my day. The toe box fits wider than the Bondi 7, which has only added to the superior comfort of the Bondi 8. I have a wide foot with high arches and I can't recommend these enough.

for walking and standing

Great for walking on hard surfaces.

These are my go to walking shoes. I'm not a runner but my feet love these shoes.

So comfy!

Most comfortable walking shoe I've ever worn!

I have been a loyal Hoka customer for years, purchasing many pairs of Bondi 6 and 7. I use them for walking and for workouts at the gym and wear them all day long. After I developed foot problems I would even wear them to social events and the shape of shoe was flattering. As soon as the Bondi 8 shoes arrived I could tell they looked radically different. The front part of the shoe was very wide, making it too loose, and they also looked hideous. Please bring back the Bondi 7!!

Ive alway worn Brooks but my knees and feet needed more cushion and support. I read the specs and previous comments so decided to give Hoka a try. Most Ive spent for shoes, but my knees and feet deserve it!

I have plantar fasciitis and overall not great feet. These offer arch support and keep my whole foot in place so that my stance and gate walking and/or running, is stabilized. I also love the vibrant colors!

Bondi shoes have literally changed my life. Finally I have shoes that are sooo comfortable. I'm on my feet all day long at a skilled nursing facility, & they are worth every penny (dollar!). You won't regret your purchase.

I use my shoes for walking and general wear.

Not an improvement over the 7's. I even preferred the 6's more. The toebox too narrow and I never had heel pain with the prior models like I do now.. Just not as comfortable overall. Please improve these issues for the 9's.

The absolute most comfortable site I've ever worn! I'm a nursing student and work in the ICU of my local hospital and my feet do not hurt at all after a long shift.

Love these shoes! They are light-weight and very cushy. They have a bit of height (I definitely notice that I feel taller). I got the all white ones and they are very cute!

I love these shoes so much. I ordered them and when they came, I questioned whether or not they were too chunky for me- after multiple days of wearing, I think they are PERFECT. I've bought a pair of Bondis and Clifton's before, but these are by far the best. I run almost every day and am walking all the time, and these shoes are perfect for everything I do. Just size down a half size!

This is my second pair of Hoka Bondis. My first pair was Bondi 6 and they were super comfortable And cushiony. My lattes pair Bondi 8 not so much the case. Since wearing the Bondi 8 my feet hurt when I wear them. I feel like I am walking on the outside of my feet causing discomfort. I don't know if this could be a result in the manufacture of the shoes. I am reaching out to Hoka in the morning.

I read reviews that pointed out the tongue of shoe is sort of sewn in on one side which makes it impossible to adjust and it goes off to the side. I thought would not be a problem. Wrong! It moves a lot to the side where sewn in - to the point that it does not protect the upper ankle from getting rubbed on the other side. I really wanted these to work, but return the 2 pairs I bought for this reason. Other than that, shoe was comfortable, good for a W foot, and had nice colors.

These shoes saved my feet and ankles. I am a group fitness instructor and I really needed a cushioned shoe that supported the arch in my foot and would allow me to do the wide range of activities I do for work and for exercising. They're great on the treadmill, outside, walking around the studio, and they even offer great support for strength training. The only thing they haven't worked well for is rowing, my shoes add too much height on my toes to properly row and they get stuck in the footplates but honestly even so these are the best sneakers I've ever purchased.

I bought these for work (nurse on my feet for 12 hours a shift). I was leery at first because things advertised on Facebook aren't always real. I checked the website and read the reviews and specs on the shoe. Ironically I saw someone wearing a pair the next day and asked about them. Gave a great review. Went ahead and bought the shoe. Now my legs don't ache at night and my back doesn't hurt at the end of the shift. Thinking about buying my husband a pair.
