Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

this is the best shoe ever!

I have plantar fasciitis, and a very high instep the shoes have been great for me.

Walking in a heaven. Thank u Hoka!

This is my 5th version of this shoe and these are the best ones yet. Fabulous ankle support and less rubbing in the toe area. These also didn't seem to require as big of a break in period. Comfortable right out of the box. Love them!

Easily my favorite Hoka shoe. So cloud like and comfy.

First, I'm disappointed because the color of the shoes is not accurately shown online. I ordered the castlerock / fiesta color which online looks hot pink / purple & red. The shoes I received are maroon and orange. This is the second pair of Hoka's I've bought recently where the color is different than shown online. Second, I've owned many pairs of the Bondi's in several versions and I agree with other reviewers that they're not as cushioned as the previous versions. In my opinion the Clifton's are more plush than the Bondi's. Please change the Bondi's back to way they used to be.

I work in health care, I'm on my feet literally all shift. I will say my feet were so comfortable at work. I only wear my hokas to work. I could work multiple 16 hour shifts and not have any foot pain whats so ever. I got my Bondi 8s in September and they didn't even make it to March. When I first got them, my feet felt so supported and no pain. But in the last week, my foot pain has been coming back. I can literally feel the floor when I walk. I'm really disappointed because the price of the shoes are a lot and they didn't last me 6 months. The first few months they were totally worth it. I'm not sure if I will get these again because they barley lasted 5 months.

I use them for work

I have "issues" with my feet and haven't found a truly comfortable athletic shoe in years. This is it and will be it from now on. There's no "breaking in" and there's no getting used to it...they just fit. The comfort of this shoe is the best of the best. Thank you!

I bought this shoe for my wife who works from home but likes to stay on her feet with a stand desk and also on her feet a lot while with our family. She has always had foot pain and slippers never helped. We decided that trying a real shoe would be better. After 2-weeks she rarely reports pain except for when she doesn't have the shoe on. Thanks.

I tried wearing these for 3 weeks hoping my feet would not hurt at the end of the day but unfortunately the pain was still occurring each evening. The pain was around my heels and arches. I wanted these to work so bad!!!

I had been wearing Bondi 7 and after reading a lot of reviews of the Bondi 8 I was afraid I would be disappointed but I really needed a new pair of Hoka's so I decided to take a chance. Fortunately I didn't find any if the issues that other people had mentioned! I'm very satisfied with the Bondi 8 and find them equal to the Bondi 7 in comfort and quality. I would recommend them.

I wear these shoes to exercise in several days a week, and I LOVE them! Whether I'm walking, riding a bike or using an elliptical, they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever put on my feet. I have terrible feet & toes- several issues & surgeries- so comfort is super important, but not always easy to find. Thank you!

I absolutely love my Hoka shoes. My co worker and friend recommended them to me. I'm on my feet a lot at work and Hoka is definitely the answer for comfort. I love tenni shoes and have tried all the major brands but I can honestly say that HOKA is by far the most comfy. Feels like your feet are walking on clouds while being supportive at the same time. Yes, they do cost a lot but it's well worth it. I'm definitely looking forward to getting more in the future. I highly recommend them. They are true to size as well. I tried them on at a store and then ordered on line. Hope this review helps you make the decision to wear the most comfortable shoes out on the market.

Very comfortable and supportive. I'm on my feet up to 10 hours straight at work and these shoes are great!

The arch support surprised me. It was quite extreme. However, they are very comfortable and I got used to it in a couple of days. They are wide enough and very comfortable. I would purchase them again. I've gotten many compliments on them.

I purchased the new Bondi 8 on 12/20/2022. I was very pleased with the shoe at first. However, I recently went on vacation and took my trusted Bondi's with me. I have been using the Bondi 7s for two years now, and this is the first time I have ever got blister from a Bondi. I feel like the toe box is more narrower than the Bondi 7 overall. I am glad to see better colors in the hoka shoes, especially the purple colors, but I am highly disappointed in the new Bondi 8 style. I am not sure I will buy another Bondi 8, I still have a brand new pair of Bondi 7s that I may use until the Bondi 9s come out. HOKA PLEASE GO BACK TO THE OLD STYLE OF BONDIS and remember the old saying: "If it isn't broke, don't fix it."

Love these sneakers

These shoes are the only shoes I can wear and get relief from Achilles issues. Have Hoka tennis skoes and flip flops. Wouldn't know how I would get through the day without them.

Hello The inner soles were not soft. I had to go out and purchase gel inner soles. Now the sneakers are perfect. You need to change the inner soles.

I bought these for my clinical rotations, as I needed a pair of all white shoes, and wanted to invest in a good pair that I will wear long after. I have pretty regular width feet, a true size 10, and these fit great. Equal parts plush and supportive. My feet thank me every shift!!

I love the fit and colors of the new Bondi 8, however I would love to have more color options in a wide width!

I was told to try the Hoka brand for the job I have. I put on 20,000 plus steps a night 4 times a week. So, i bought the bondi 8 shoe.. I tired them 6-7 times at work and they didn't feel like what was described to me. I ended up returning them and asked a rep which one they would suggest for what I do. Was told the clifton, so that is my next purchase.

This is a great fitting shoe. I have a hard time because I have a wide foot and it's a perfect fit.

Wife wears bondi 7 at work, standing and walking all day, tried bondi 8 and her heels start hurting right away. Now can't find bondi 7 in her size. The search for a comfortable shoe for her begins, AGAIN.
