Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I got the Bondi for the first time in 10 years. I forgot how comfortable they are!!! I usually stick with Machs but I guess I didn't know I needed a change!

I have purchased many pairs of HOKA Bondi over the years and have found them to be the best running shoes for comfort and stability on the market. Sadly, with the new design's toe box being so narrow, even in the wide selection, I will have to shop for another brand of shoe. Please bring back the wider toe box in the next Bondi design!

I really love my hoka shoes but it'll be so much better if you they have a size 12.5 wide in women haha

This is my third pair of Hokas and second pair in the year The laces seem shorter Usually as I wear them the laces fall into comfortable position but this latest pair are still almost too short to tie Have you made a change?

Very tight. Need wider shoe. Not true to size. Need next size

I wear these every day so they get a workout and I've been wearing HOKAs now for six years. They really are comfortable and they give me good support but there are some issues with these new ones. The tab loop at the back of the shoe broke the first week. I've always used that loop to help me put them on so it's a bit frustrating! They're very comfortable shoes but the fabric on the front of the shoe looks wrinkly when I'm sitting down and not walking in them. The old design didn't do that.

I heard great things about these shoes and really wanted to love them. They are so narrow through the arch area that I have red marks on sides of feet when I take off. Also ball of feet hurt sooo bad after wearing few hours like they are on fire.

I have three other pairs of this same shoe and I love them. This pair, however, is causing the ball of my foot to burn so badly I had to remove it to try to continue walking. The pain didn't stop and my husband had to go get the car. This was a longer walk (2miles) than I had walked up to that point in these shoes. I'm going to try to use my orthotics with them to see if that helps. If not, the return window has passed so I'll keep trying to use them, only for short walks.

So comfy while working at the hospital

Beyond comfortable!! Could walk for days! Will repurchase again!

Love the Bondi 8 blue with pink accent. I bought 7.5 but, I'm a size 7. Working out on a elliptical I like little room in front so my toes don't hit sneaker on the steps of machine. I also bought another pair I think Gaviotta green, grey and pink accent

Sneakers are comfortable, stylish and affordable. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.

I have not worn them yet, can't wait to wear during the spring and summer!

My hokas are extremely comfortable, I feel less pain in my heels

As a ER nurse I'm on my feet all day running around. I've tried many shoes but none have helped with back pain or have lasted as long as my Hoka sneakers have. My shoes in the past are spent after 6 months but I've gone 1 to 1 1/2 years with the same pair. This was the first time I tried the Bondi and I gotta say I love them. So has my other fellow nurses who have tried them. I love them and have also gotten many compliments. Would definitely recommend.

I utterly worship the Bondi 7's and even loved the 5's, and the 8's are just awful. The sole feels so weird and firm compared to the three other pairs of Bondi's I've bought before, it's not the same nice, plush feeling that the Bondi 7's immediately had. My heels ached all day today to the point where I'm going to have to return these. So disappointing. This is such a hard turn from what Hoka normally produces, so I'm genuinely surprised. Colors are nice, fit is perfect as usual, but man, what happened to the cushion?

I am going to get another pair but different colors

I used this product for working eight hours on my feet AND walking 20 minutes afterwards and my feet were barely sore!

I've had my shoes for over a month now and I will say they need to be more cushiony on the inside just like the outside.

These shoes were recommended by my podiatrist and I love them.

nice wide heel base on sole; great cushion and good support- I have flat feet and arthritis in toes- first time HOKA purchase and like so far

I was disappointed and returned this shoe. The toe box was Messed up and looked like rejects. I wish that you would bring back the Bondi 7. It was great!!!

Bouncing back from partial meniscectomy on knee and the bondi 8 is a lifesaver. So comfortable on my wide feet with plenty of cushioning. Beauty of the shoe comes through when jogging or walking fast, as the slight rocker and cushioning makes me feel that I am on a spring board. I love this shoe. First-time Hoka wearer and I am a convert for life. Tried the Clifton (same gen as bondi 8) and it was too snug in the width. If I were running again, however, it would have been a hard call as the Clifton felt just a little more responsive. The rocker was also more noticeable on the Clifton. I got the bondi 8 for my mother, also, who has mobility issues.

This was going to be my second pair. I was so disappointed with the sizing. It's hard to believe that there were a women's size.

I had a couple pairs of Bondi 7 my latest are Bondi 8. The only thing I'm not really fond of on my new ones is the tongue is sewed in place on one side. I'm getting use too it but I'd rather be able to open it open as much as I want
