Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Great support, wonderful for everyday work in the hospital, makes my feet happy!

I now own 15 pair of HOKAS, they are all I wear to save the knees

Christmas was a good one!

Bondi 6 was perfection. Bondi 8 is significantly narrower in the toe box compared to previous versions. Now even the wide is too narrow and my little toes rub. I am so disappointed that I have to return them and look for an entirely different model of shoe.

They were a gift and they love them.

Daily 2 mile walk . For about 20 years have gone through dozens of Asics Gel Nimbus . The Hoka Bondi 7 and 8 are softer , quieter , with better cushion and support .

I replaced two pairs of Bondi 7 shoes with Bondi 8 shoes. I was a little surprised that the tongue is attached on the inner side of the shoe, but they work finemaybe a little more difficult to get on and off.

I got these pre-knee replacement surgery and am glad I did. They are very plush, which is what I needed because I also have Morton's Neuroma.

I run 1-2 marathons per year (plus other races) and I've worn the Bondi shoe for quite a few years. The Bondi 8 is fantastic for cushion and width. I am 5'1", 127lbs and I wear a 7.5 wide. I've been wearing the current model for a little over 3 months (2.5 months was marathon training at 40-50 miles per week + a few prep-races) and have experienced some unusual issues. First of all, the tongue is inconsistent with staying centered. I have two pairs one stays centered on both shoes and the other refuses to stay centered on the right shoe. I've never had this issue before with any running shoe. I've re-laced the laces multiple times and tried to adjust the tongue but nothing keeps it centered. I've decided it's a slight sewing/production abnormality. The second issue is the inner heel section is completely torn up after only 3.5 months of running. I keep my old running shoes long after they're retired from training and I could send photos of many Hoka's that don't look as tattered as my current pair. It's a little disappointing for such a pricey shoe. I will keep purchasing because the fit and cushion works well for me but I am disappointed in this decreased quality.

I loved the stability and cushion on the Bondi. However, my foot is flat (I have little if any arch). The toe box and heel were both fine, but the mid foot section was far too snug. I considered the wide width, but upon looking at a picture of the shoe determined that it would likely be too narrow in the mid foot as well. I ended up with the Gaviota 4 in a wide. It works very well as it is larger through the midsection.

I normally love Hokas but this arch support is too rigid and was painful. I had to return them. Oddly I owned the 7s in this model and loved them. I'm not sure why they made the arch so hard. Fortunately they have a great return policy and it was very easy to do. I appreciate their policy and how easy it was

Love them after I get them on. I need them super tight, so after t get them tightened they are wonderful, I just have to loosen them a lot and then tighten them down A little bit of a pain.

I purchased these shoes as a Christmas gift per her request. She states that are most comfortable. On a recent trip I saw many of the women in our group wearing this brand.

Feels like I'm walking on air.

nice look and fit

Pleased with the wide toe box but HOKA also needs to go back to the bright colors. The woman's are especially bland, dull, boring and blah.

Wonderful cushioning. Wide toe box. Very comfortable with good support.

These are the most comfortable running shoes I have ever had.

For some reason these shoes made my feet and ankles hurt worse than before. I'm hoping to exchange for a different shoe to see if that helps.

Everyday walking shoes

She is pregnant and on her feet a lot chasing after a two year old! She loves the lilac color!

Fits great. Helps with my having to be on my feet for 12 hours at a time.

My daughter loved her new running shoes for her upcoming half Marathon! The insole is a little harsh on the insides of her feet as she is flat footed, but otherwise, great!

Only posting this because the company emailed me and asked for feedback. Love these shoes, love the brand and have been customer for 5 years. Only thing I would like to add is more vegan options. I'm not a big fan of leather or hurting animals. I have to purchase only a specific pair of shoes but I'd buy more if they were made with vegan leather.

Felt more comfy with bondi 7 i do not like the wider sole in front too and lower side by anke
