Loved my original Hoka. Got this pair, went to tie up the shoe the first time wearing them, and the hole that holds the lace broke. Now can't get the shoe tied properly. After inspecting, cheap material used, will easily break. Returned them.

These Bondi 8's are so strange looking. The rubber around the outside of the shoe is so big and makes your feet look huge. The fabric on the tops is very thin compared to Bondi 7 & 6, don't think it would hold up. I kept measuring them to make sure the bottoms are really bigger and they are both in width and length. I tried very hard to like them as the colors were great, but the shoe is cheaply made. Disappointing. I h ope HOKA gets this feedback - go back to what works.

I have been wearing Bondi 7's for years & years now. They were my favorite shoe. These Bondi 8's are bad. One of the reasons the Bondi 7's were so good is they didn't rock from side to side. I originally purchased the Bondi 7's because they helped so much in preventing supination. These Bondi 8's actually pushed my foot into a supinated position which makes them an absolute no-go for me. After reading other reviews on here, I went with the Gaviota 5's instead but even they aren't as perfectly stable as the Bondi 7's were. The Gaviotas run really wide though so keep that in mind. I wore W in the Bondi 7's and had to order regular width in the Gaviota 5's.

Surprisingly uncomfortable. Very little arch support. Plantar fasciitis pain was worse when wearing these even with my orthotics. Style was ok though.

Best shoes that's ever been on my feet, other than a bone spur on my heel, these shoes are so comfortable no need for any additional support.

These Hoka Bondi 8 shoes are so comfortable. They provide a lot of cushioned support for my plantar fasciitis. Keep in mind, the toe area is very wide and can look a little bit like clown shoes, but if you are more interested in comfort and support, these are GREAT shoes! I threw out all of my pairs of a larger national brand in favor of these. Hoka's are my new go-to!

True to size and width. These have excellent arch support. I tend to pronate and always had trouble finding shoes before Hokas, but I've bought many pairs of these and plan to continue wearing them.

One shoe seemed like it had been worn and didn't have as much cushion as the other. It felt as though I was limping when I walked. Style is good, but sadly, these are going back.

I love the Bondi 8! Previous hoka's we're not wide enough to fit correctly but this one has done it !! I ordered the wide size and the toe box really is wide enough.

These were great until they weren't! The padding by the ankle collar just opened up a big hole which in turn, rubbed my ankle painfully. Very surprised by this as my one of my other pairs of Hoka Clifton 8 are perfect but another Clifton 8 pair did the exact same thing! Now I'm searching for another brand.

Ordered these and received them the next day. I have a relatively narrow foot and Asics or Nike usually are my go to shoes. Ordered the Bondi 8 sacs these for closest to my Gel Kayano but the cushioning is incredible. They’re also very stylish and I love the color options. The toe box is plenty open enough and the heel strike really is cushioning.

Love the hot pink! They are such a hit in the hospital. The colors look even better in person. I had the previous Bondi 7 and now transitioned into the Bondi 8. They are like walking on clouds. They give so much support which I need standing the majority of my shift. They are slimmer than the previous Bondi, but they look more streamlined despite the bigger bottom.

I love Hoka Bondi 8 I have a back out of place, and 2 bad knees I could not hardley walk or stand on my feet very long until I got my Hokas. I stand and walk on concrete for 10hr shifts I would not be able to without these shoes they make a difference. I wear 7 and half but got 8 and half wide so I could put inserts in they fit wonderful. I bought the orthropedic ones first they were ok but not half as good as the regular Hoka bondi 8 they are amazing. My favorite shoes !! I have tried Murrells, Sorrell, Sketchers arch fit, and another brand none of them worked . Hoka Bondi 8 is the best if you ask me.
I'd also recommend:
None only Hoka Bondi 8

This is my third pair of Bondi 8 if that gives you an idea of how much of a fan I am of this shoe. I'm a nurse and a diabetic with neuropathy in my feet and lower legs and this shoe is a god send. Very comfortable and supportive and I always get compliments from my patients. Hardly ‘clown’ shoes and well worth the investment if your livelihood involves standing on your feet all day.

I love these shoes. They are so comfortable! It's like walking on a firm yet cushiony soft surface. The fit is great. I ordered the extra wide and was not sure I needed that but it feels great on my feet. I highly recommend these shoes.

I loved the Bondi 7 wide and was hoping Hoka wouldn't ruin this year's model. They didn't. Same comfort and ability to be on my feet all day in them. Just wish Hoka would offer same colors in the wide width as in regular. Bigtime bummer that regular width gets a bunch of great colors and they only release basic shades in wide.

I have been living in Hoka tennis shoes for a few years. I have flat feet and they give me everything I need in support. I got tired of orthopedic inserts and these shoes are perfect

I've always loved Hoka shoes and my new Bondi 8's are amazing! They fit very true to size and are excellent for walking, running, and working out. I also love the color (Summer Song/Country Air)! I wish I could get very color!
