Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I was so disappointed in the Bondi 8 when I tried them on. I said this is a generic shoe, what happened. The bondi 7 was like driving an expensive car vs the Bondi 8. I sold alot of bondi 7 over the year because I bragged about them. I found 6 pairs of Bondi 7 and put them in my closet. The bondi 8 lools like a clown shoe. And it feels like a Nike.

I loved the Hoka Bondi 6 and 7 wides, so I continued with the Bondi 8 wide. Unfortunately the midsole was narrower than its previous designs. This in turn caused my feet to overhang badly in this area as I have wide feet. This somehow affected my arthritic knees; it was also causing my knees to become inflamed and swollen. When I stopped wearing the Bondi 8 and switched back to my Bondi 7, the pain went away. I had to send them back for a refund. I was genuinely upset as I really wanted to continue with the Hoka Bondis.

They are comfy but they are huge looking and very bouncy- almost feel like clown shoes because of the width.

Ordered this shoe in an 8.5 Wide which is my usual size. Everything was good about it except the actual fit. Shipping was prompt. Color of the shoe was as advertised. But when I attempted to put my feet in these so-called "wide" shoes, epic FAIL. The toe box was long enough but so tight I couldn't even envision them "stretching" over time and the rest of my foot felt sandwiched in. With or without my own inserts, nothing worked. So I'm returning them. Hoka is the one brand I've tried where Wide isn't really Wide.

I didnt like the Bondi 8. The Bondi 7 is by far a better shoe. I am not sure what Hoka improved or changed on the 8 but the insoles and the cushion of the Bondi 7 are in my opinion better. I actually sent the shoes back and I am trying the Bondi SR

I wear my Hokas where I work in a medical clinic. I get through the whole day without having any foot or back pain. These sneakers are best I've had

I love it so Comfortable

Best shoes I've ever had, the most cushion and support.

Comfortable from the first wear! Love the feeling of stability! There really was not a "break in" period as is typical with a new pair of shoes. From the moment I put them on, have not wanted to take them off. On vacation for 3 weeks and almost the only pair of shoes I have worn the entire trip.

Most comfortable sneaker. Feel like I'm on a cloud. As I've gotten older my feet hurt especially after a long walk. These are so comfortable and I have no pain after a walk

I was glad to get an all white Hoka shoe. My orthopedic doctor recommended these years ago after I had surgery on my foot. It was the most comfortable shoe that I had tried and I had tried many! At that time it only came in some funky colors, but it was great. I decided I would order a new pair when I saw the all white. However, the show was not as comfortable as my previous pair. Needless to say, my old hoka was a Clifton, so I've ordered these, a half size bigger, with the hopes that they are closer to my previous ones. I will update once I receive them.

Bondi 8 is perfect shoe for every day use. Very light comfortable! I love it!!

So comfy my feet don't hurt after my 12 hour shift

I have been wearing the Bondi shoes for five years. They have been a lifesaver for my terrible feet. I have always had three pair that I am wearing at any one time; one for outdoors, one pair for indoors only and the oldest pair are used for any messy activity. My podiatrist has advised me to never walk with bare feet. I replaced and rotated the shoes every 6-8 months. Recently, I purchased the newly redesigned Bondi 8 and unfortunately, they were uncomfortable from the start. I put them on and off, and readjusted many times. I continued this for 3 days. The toe box in the new shoe is not as roomy. The upper area rubbed against the top of my metatarsals and toes. Also, the tongue does not move freely. It is attached on one side making it difficult to stay exactly where I wanted it. Finally, I sent them back. I am so disappointed and sad. These are the only shoes I have ever owned that fit perfectly the moment I put them on, no break-in period required. I have recommended them to many, many people. Sometimes when I'm out, people will stop and ask me how I like them. I'm not an athlete, just a regular person. These shoes have changed and improved my life more than I can explain and I'm not sure what I'm going to do now. I scoured the Internet trying to find a pair of Bondi 7's in my size, but could not find any. I see a number of other reviews with similar complaints. I hope that the Hoka company will reconsider the redesign of the formerly perfect shoe.

I ordered 1/2 size larger in wide width, and put in extra arch and heel support. Now I can walk and hike with much less heel pain.

I went from a barefoot girl to wearing my "Hokas" every day! My podiatrist suggested "Hoka" for my feet health. He said I needed to wear shoes even at home. I never thought this was possible but here I am to tell you that these shoes are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.

I love Hoka shoes. I particularly like the ones with a lot of cushion and with good support, and these shoes were perfect for those reasons. They are also pretty. I'm so glad that Hoka has a variety of colors available. I have only great things to say about Hoka shoes. These are my 3rd pair, and this pair I'm planning to alternate with another pair every other day when I walk.

I work on Concrete floors every day and could not live without my HOKAS.

I have used the Bondi 8's on a couple of outdoor runs and treadmill runs and they are soo comfy!! My feet love them! I will definitely be purchasing more of this kind

Super comfortable, definitely look better in person. In love, definitely will be purchasing more

The Bondi 8 is superior in support, fit, and repelling moisture. I'm on my feet 12-15 hours a day and this is the only shoe that keeps my legs and feet from fatiguing and hurting.

Bondi 6 and 7 were wonderfully comfortable, supportive and plush. I work 12 hour shifts and these hurt my feet from the beginning. The bouncy cushion is gone and there is absolutely no cushion on the heel. So disappointed. Loved the color

I love how it fits and contours with my foot. Makes working out so much better. I don't have the foot pain I usually do.

Amazing comfort and support. My dear don't feel tired or sore after a walk or long day. My first pair and I'm in love. People have stopped me to ask if they were real Hoka shoes and if they were worth the money. Yes and yes!

These have really helped my feet a lot. I have a lot of foot pain and it's greatly reduced thanks to these!
