Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I wear Hokas everyday because of plantar fasciitis in both feet. I have tried several styles and the Bondi 8 is new to me. Most of my Hokas run big but these feel closer to a true fit. Super comfortable...like walking on clouds.

I have large feet and they're wide and they need a lot of support and Hoka One One exceeds my expectations. The shoes are absolutely amazing.

I have many good athletic and hiking shoes. Mainly Brooks, ASICS, Merrell, and Hoka. Hoka is certainly one of the best shoes and offer some great colors, however you need change up one thing. Width. My foot is not that wide but even the wide in the Bondi is a smidgeon too narrow in the little toe area of the shoe. Never have this with Brooks or ASICS. Also when you make a wide you shouldn't make the heel wide also. Most folks want a wide toe area and don't need a wide heel. Even with the Bondi wide there is a slight bit of pressure at the little toes on both shoes. Now if you have narrow feet Hoka is your shoe for sure.

I've purchased 3 pairs before.

Sneakers are great!! Feel so good the only complaint is the shoelaces are terrible they are cheap even double knotted they become untied. For the price of the sneakers I would expect high class laces that stay tied One more thing the material could be a little thicker my toes are frozen but overall best sneakers I've ever had

I ordered the Lilac Marble/Elderberry. The shoes are a lot more purple than in the pictures.

These are not comfortable shoes. I have bought HOKA shoes in the past and loved them. I feel like I constantly roll my foot bc of the sole on these shoes. I work as a RN and am on my feet a lot and also stand several hours. Would not recommend

Excellent fit

Its on the higher end of their price points but it has delivered nicely.

I just purchased another pair of the Hoka bondi 8 and love them. I have been wearing Hoka for about 5 years since having plantar fasciitis and they are very comfortable, as I am on my feet all day at work. Other than sandals in the summer, it is all I wear. Highly recommend them!!

Do not buy these if you have flat feet. The arch support is way to high and very painful. I wore them for a couple hours at work (standing on a hard floor) and had to switch back to my previous shoes. The arch support is built into the shoe. I tried to take the insole out, but the arch support was under the insole too. I am sad because I spent so much money on them, and I can't even use them. NOT FOR FLAT FEET!!!

Best shoes!!

I have severe metatarsalgia and arthritis in my feet, R worse than L. I try to walk 3-4 miles at least 4-5 days a week. I tried many brands before this particular shoe was recommended. My feet absolutely love the Bondi 7 and the Bondi 8 is even more fabulous. I take out the insole and replace with another insole I purchase from another vendor. The two together allows me to walk, no rubbing, no aggravation of my bunions, no foot pain. These shoes are a game-changer for me and has given me my walking lifestyle back.

But hate the color selections. Come on HOKA! Get rid of the peaches, light blues, pinks, and beiges!! It's no wonder why the new Bondi 8 Castlerock Fiesta is already sold out. Put your research team on it! WE WANT SOME COLOR in women's shoes from Hoka Lime greens, oranges, reds, etc.

The sneakers have helped relieve the peroneal tendinitis pain. There is a minor interior material tear in the right shoe that I noticed soon after purchasing but after wearing them. I don't think it will affect performance?

I've always struggled with finding shoes that work for me when I run and always ended up not enjoying the run because something would hurt. I've been running in these for the last month and have no pain and I feel supported during my runs and during my day at work!

Wear most days due to knee issues.

I sent a previous review I need to retract. My apologies for the mistake. Hokas are the best!!!!

Just had back surgery and these are the best shoes I've ever had!

I have worn the women's Bondi for the last couple of years and have loved its' upgrades. I happily bought the newest Bondi 8 but have been very disappointed in it. I don't know what/how Hoka changed this shoe, but it doesn't fit me anymore. After wearing it for a short period of time, my feet feel as though they are in a vise, and red pressure marks appear on the outside bone of my feet, below my little toe. I would not recommend buying this shoe as it does not fit like the previous iterations of the Bondi line.

I bought these shoes on the recommendation of my podiatrist, as I have had plantar's fasciitis in the past, which I recently aggravated. I decided my feet are worth this investment, as I am older and my feet are not getting any better!

I'm a respiratory therapist and work 12 hour shifts. My feet don't even hurt at the end of my shift! My feet over pronate and this shoe helps with that as well. If you're on the fence, just buy them, it's well worth it!

Use them at work. And they're great.
