I wear these at work and for daily use. They hurt my feet until I broke them in but after that my feet didn't hurt at all after my long shifts.

I have arthritic knees and my children recommended your company. I love the method of sizing and the way the salesperson recommended which shoe to get. Also, my knee doctor with a sports medicine office to Philadelphia sports teams wears this company's shoes:).

I am thrilled. I am very active and have serious Plantars fasciitis as Achilles tendonitis on my left foot. I have worn both the Clifton and the Arahi. After doing a bit of research and reading customer comments I decided to try the Bondi. These have been a game changer for me. Still suffer with some pain but they fit and feel great. I will definitely purchase another pair. I wear a size 8.5 but had been purchasing a size 9 at the recommendations of sales staff. I decided to purchase the 8.5 in the Bondi and I like the fit and feel.

The bondi 8 in comparison to bondi 7 is little wider. It fits better for me. But the sole of the shoes seams harder. I like the sole of bondi 7 better, it softer. But overall bondi 8 is good enough.

Purchased wide (I am not wide but the regular was not feeling right). The sole is very wide, yet not across the toes. I tried standing in them half a day and my feet ached and have never had that type of foot pain. All in all feels like a poor design.

I use these shoes for every day wear. My orthopedic surgeon suggested these because of surgery on achilles tendon and other feet issues.

Shoes are wide width however they don't seem as wide as my last pair. The tongue is attached on one side only not sure why makes it seem a little crooked. Also to pull loop on the back has been attached differently then the bhondi 7, not as easy to use. I will wear these shoes but I think they need to rethink these changes.

They wear pretty good. But on the left shoes it is like it has a ridge on it, and, it rubs the side of my foot. Other than that they are okay.

I purchased these for my husband as his back has been really hurting him and he usually walks around the house barefoot. He's been wearing these around and has notice a huge difference in the level of support and cushion he feels along with a lot less back pain.

Absolutely loved the Bondi 7s and had found my walking and work (hospital RN w/ 12+ hour shifts) shoe for life. I purchased the Bondi 8s to replace and it is a completely different shoe. The amazing rocker feel is gone, the base of the front of the shoe is too wide (not the inside- the toe box fit is true to size- but the base/sole) which aggravated arthritis in my great toe joint. So disappointed in this Hoka loss!

This shoe is amazingly comfortable. I work 12 plus hours a day so by the time I get home my feet were in horrible pain. Since I've been wearing the Bondi 8 I feel like I'm floating when I walk. No more painful feet or lower back pain. These shoes are worth very penny and I will be purchasing more.

I walk 5 to 6 miles everyday with my 2 dogs. We are walking totally on sidewalks and roads and we walk briskly. I have absolutely loved my bondi 7's! Have probably bought at least 6 pairs. Imagine my dismay at the discontinuation of this wonderful shoe!! I tried to like the bondi 8 but just couldn't. Same size, doesn't fit my foot like the 7. They are way too wide! Please bring the 7 back!! Will be buying as many 7's as I can before they disappear for good.

My orthopedist recommended I purchase a pair of these shoes as I have a lot of arthritis in my feet and suffer from Achilles tendinitis from time to time. The shoe is designed with an interior bar that helps the foot roll in a more natural way. At first, the shoes felt great. However after wearing them constantly for 4-5 hours, they really made my feet hurt. I had to take them off and put on one of my old pairs of tennis shoes.

Box not original.
Thought it would be a good exchange for Bondi 7, but no. Heel extends too far in back and makes stairs difficult for me.

I love the Bondi shoe. It is the shoe recommended by my podiatrist. I have been wearing them for several years and typically purchase 2-3 pairs per year as I walk lots. The newest Bondi 8 is great, as usual, though I don't care as much for the style of the fabric and some other small design changes. Overall it's an amazing shoe that provides support, comfort and durability. I use my custom orthotics in this shoe so the moderate arch support is just right with the amount of flexibility I need in a shoe and the toe box is nice and big to provide comfort and needed movement, especially after having neuromas removed. Even with the slight design changes that I don't like as much this is a great shoe and I highly recommend it.

I have been a fan of Hokas after trying so many different brands as I work in open heart surgery and our cases are insanely long. I started with the Bondi 7s and loved them but after I tried the Bondi 8s I will never go back! The wide base offers so much stability and the comfort is unmatchable! I'm so grateful to have found this brand and specifically this version!

While these may not be the most exciting looking sneakers, they are definitely the most supportive and comfortable, especially for those with flat feet or suffering from planar fasciitis. The front toe box is generous. I have small heels and these shoes do not slip at all.
