Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Hoka's are the only shoes I wear now. My Podiatrist recommended them a year ago and now I have 6 pairs I rotate. Bondi 7 and 8s are my favorite but have others I wear after work from the hospital after being on my feet all day.

Very wide and uncomfortable.

Like the shoes! Tons of cushioning.

I'm disappointed. I've loved Bondis for years - they've been great for my plantar fasciitis. But the Bondi 8 isn't nearly as cushioned, and it's not as comfortable. This happened with the Rincons as well - very cushioned Rincon 2, not very cushioned Rincon 3. I hope this isn't a direction the company is taking overall. I think I might have to find another go-to brand.

I'd Broken all the bones in the top of my foot and I needed foot surgery. After I'd gone through the cast, the boot, and the brace, my doctor recommended Hoka. I tried the Bondi 7 which was good but the Bondi 8 is something else. The cushioning is amazing and there's so much room to wiggle my toes. I'd also sprained my ankle with the break and this shoe gives me amazing support.

I have had 2 pair of Hoka walking/running shoes. The 1st pair was alot more cushiony which was very nice as I'm over weight but starting to walk the treadmill. 2nd pair have firm soles but still comfortable. Hoka are the most comfortable tennis shoes I've had in decades. Plus I work for a couple foot and ankle surgeons who both recommend these shoes to their patients with feet/ankle problems. I also have bilateral bunionettes. I very much appreciate that you guys make a wide version of some shoe styles. this is probably the best part of my experience. I didnt realize I needed more room and my feet have felt alot better since moving to a wide shoe. I also want to say I initially bought the wrong size and had to do a return via USPS. This too was a great experience. I had doubts at first but it was an easy process and the turn around time was phenomenal. no regrets!!

Love these shoes though the sizing seems to be a bit different than the Bondi 7's. These SAVE my knees on 12 hour night shifts. I'm hooked for life!

The fit and comfort is off the charts. I have no back or hip issues while wearing these sneakers!

These shoes are amazing. I literally couldn't get through my 12 hour shifts without them. I developed plantar fasciitis a year ago and these shoes have made it possible to keep working full time. These are life changing.

I also love that you don't have to break them in but they feel great the very first day you wear them.

There's super comfy and cute. Wish the sole was thicker but other than that they're good

These shoes are so comfortable. Before these, after a workout, my feet would be sore. Now, I have no pain.

I really like these shoes. Well made and comfortable. It did feel strange initially walking in them because of the drop but it has seemed to get better. Overall, glad I made the purchase.

These are the most comfortable, sturdy sneaker I've ever worn. Worth every penny!!

Just got my new Bondi Hokas and I have to say they're going right back. I've been wearing this style for 5 years. Raved about them and told anybody who asked about Hoka they needed to try these. The redesign has ruined the shoe. The marshmallow feel is gone, The sole being wide all the way around looks awful, and don't get me started on the tongue that wants to pull to one side. Even the height of the hill is shorter and feels like my foot's going to come out of it no matter how they're laced. I should have gone with the reviews and not ordered them.

I have worn the Bondi Series since #3. In many ways they have saved my life and kept me mobile. The 8 series comes with several disappointing changes. One, the tongue is attached to one side and if you have a high arch it sits to one side. The second is the tug loop at the back of the shoe, they turned it sideways so you pull on your shoe from a weird angle. Hola, stop messing with my shoes!

This is my 6th pair of HOKAs! LOVE the way they put a spring in my walk literally! My feet, knees, hips are always happy after a long shift at work when I choose my HOKAs to wear over a dress shoe! Thank you HOKA!!!!!

GET WIDES. These are amazingly supportive and feel like you're waking on a squishy trampoline. BUT if you need wides you're going to notice pretty severely. I sized up a half size and they fit perfectly, just needed wides so I'll have to by another pair. I didn't actually know until I'd already worn them outside. 12 hours walking around Disney world in them made it clear it wasn't just that they weren't broken in yet, but that the sole's edge was hitting my very flat arch.

These are the Bondi 7..the Bondi 8 don't fit me as well .don't know what I'll do when I can no longer find them. Been wearing Hoka for years . Best running/walking sneaker

Lots of great support and is awesome for walking

Best shoe ever....need it in a safety shoe. Finally, a darker-more traditional color option.

I wanted a comfortable shoe for walking as my feet get sore when walking over a mile. The shoe is comfortable but quite wide at the sole of the shoe. The footbed isn't wide but the base of the shoe is. I just don't find them attractive because they look so big and clunky.

It was too bulky for me.

Use these at the gym, on the treadmill, lifting weights. LOVE these! Very comfortable
