Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Always sturdy shoes and feel good

I absolutely love these shoes. They are expensive but they are worth it!!! I have plantar fasciitis and these shoes help me GREATLY!!

I love the idea of white shoes, especially ones that can easily be washed. I washed these one time and the bottom of the shoes started completely falling off. So disappointing.

I have suffered from chronic foot pain when walking. My Hokas withstood 4-5 miles a day of walking on a recent trip and my feet didn't hurt at ALL. I am able to be fully present w my kids and family now that I can move around pain free. I am so happy!

My foot and ankle surgeon recommended these shoes for my planters fasciitis and psoriatic arthritis and bone on both ankles. To say I have been in pain is an understatement, these shoes have made such a difference in being able to walk without pain. I really noticed the difference over holiday when I cooked all day and did not wear my Hokas, I could barely walk the next day and the pain was intense. I learned my lesson and will always wear them and will order another pair immediately. My PT noticed the improvement as well and told me the importance of wearing the right shoes, fashion is out the door for me, walking without pain is more important to me. Interesting enough I have gotten compliments on them, who knew?

I run outside at average pace at least twice a week - roughly 3 to 5 miles depending and focus on distance as opposed to time. I had the Cliftons, the Rincon 3s, and now these. These are definitely my favorite for daily type runs! Cliftons were a little heavy for me, Rincon 3s were light and easy but too little cushion, and these are cushioned yet bouncy to where they don't feel heavy at all. My runs are so much easier now and much more comfortable, and I feel like I finally found the right shoes for my feet. Definitely worth the money and much better than you'd imagine!

I use them at work...they are fantastic

My previous job completely wrecked my feet to the point where I have alot of pain walking barefoot. I had been looking at the Bondi for quite some time and finally bought a pair. These are really great! My feet feel supported yet I have plenty of room so my feet feel free. Tempted to try the Ora recovery shoe, if they make an all black version, I'd wear them to work. My husband bought a pair after I told him how great they feel and he loves them too.

Honestly, when HOKA began becoming popular in our fitness classes, I was not impressed with "the look". I knew HOKA was probably a great shoe, but I just did not like the way they looked. But I believe the design must have changed. My HOKAs feel amazing and look great. This was a Christmas present 2022, and I have worn them every day since receiving them for my workouts. HOKA is probably going to be my "go to" for fitness shoes.

My daughter is a nurse and on her feet a lot. She said many of the nurses where she works. Love the shoe. At some point, I may need to treat myself to a pair.

Great fit, so comfortable!!

I love this tennis shoe. Feels comfortable. Great Beach walking shoes too!!

This style had more of a boxed area for my toes which gives me more comfort when standing or walking. I like the color of the shoe without looking like a clown shoe. It looks like it is constructed to last and remain durable. It fits but because it is "one width", I think I would have been even more comfortable in a half size larger.

Both Bondi and Gaviota felt comfortable but Gaviota was the most comfortable of the two.

It is a very comfortable shoe so much so you hardly know you have it on. Your foot adjust immediately to the shoe. It is very good walking in never slips very comfortable.

I bought the Bondi 8 in white and I am I'm Love with these sneakers! Originally I sized down after reading some of the reviews (I am a 6.5, but hot 6), but had to return because it was too small. The return process was easy and fast. Once I got my size I have to say I will be buying other colors, these sneakers are super comfortable! I will recommend 100%.

Bought these for my daughter , she is in college and walks a lot. She loves them but the color was not exactly what we thought they were. Little more lavender than we expected!! She likes them and will keep them!!

The heel to this are great, very comfortable. Its the arch area that I find a little narrow. I wear these at work all day and I am on concrete for 8 hours. The arch to these hit inward on my arch and by the end of the day my arch is a little irritated. The toe area fit great too.

These are my favorite shoes!! I wear them all day every day! I work for a major airline and I am on my feet all day long! My HOKA's save my feet and legs at the end of the day!

Used for running/walking. Good support but very pricey. Wold like to see sales more often.

I am a faithful Hoka Clifton fan, but tried the Bondi 8 and loved it also! I wear the Bondi when I will be walking or running significant mileage. The comfort level is amazing and my feet do not tire.

Bought as a gift for my sister. She loved them

I use everyday for work and working out .

I am not sure about these shoes just yet. I do love my ASICS shoes. These shoes have a large toe area, which will take me some time. Also the arch support isn't as high as in my ASICS. I may switch the inner soles and see if I like them better. I will let you know.
