Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Extreme comfort and stability

My fiance is a nurse and is on her feet alot. She use to come home everyday complaining about her feet. Its been a month and I haven't heard a word!

Just want to say I got the Elderberry and they look pink online but there are most definitely purple. I'm very happy with the color it's a cute pale purple but wanted to help others in case they were hoping to buy pink. This is only my second day wearing them so I'm still trying them out. I am a nurse and on my feet 13 hrs. First impression they are very supportive but they don't feel as cushy as the Bondi 7. My feet do not hurt after my shift so far.

From the first day these shoes have been wildly comfortable - not only no break in time, but I've been able to walk for miles. This is no joke, as with chronic plantar fasciitis and recent knee surgery walking has been hard. My hokas have the right structure and support while also having the cushioning and rolling to make them wildly comfortable. I've already taken them as my primary shoes to Geneva and Kazakhstan, and am taking them to New Zealand soon!

I am a long-time Disneyland Annual Passholder,and I spend a lot of time in the parks walking and standing. These shoes leave my feet far less pained at the end of a day of walking ten to fifteen miles. I am plus sized, so comfortable shoes make a BIG difference. Keeping up with my mom (on her scooter) and my teens is easier in these shoes.

Great support. They do "break in" and loosen up so don't go big.

With this shoes I'm able to walk for hours without my feet getting tired, thing that I couldn't do with another shoes

Love these shoes. They were extraordinarily comfortable right out of the box. They run a half size large, if you are between sizes order down. This isn't one of those tennis shoes that you need to order a half size larger. They run a tiny bit wide through the footbed but I laced them up nice and tight so not a problem even with my narrow feet.

I have a bondi 7 and it was so soft to walk-in. Like a cloud. It has really helped me feet. So wanted to purchase another in black. But it seems you stopped making hoka bondi 7. So I tried the bondi 8. Very disappointed! I returned it since it was not nearly as soft as the bondi 7.

Best athletic shoes I have owned

Compared to other shoes, these are very supportive and give lots of cushioning for extended walks.

Super comfortable for 12 hours on my feet. Really no break in time was needed.

Absolutely love these shoes. I had to switch them for a smaller size. Hoka was amazing and sent me the proper size with ease!!! Love this brand.

These shoes are well made. However, I have not been able to "break them in." They hurt my feet and I am beginning to realize that I will not be able to wear them for long periods of time. I loved the first pair of HOKAS that I purchased, but these are a different fit. Disappointed!

Bought them to bop around in and have been loving them!

Super comfortable shoes.

I use this model for street walking. Like previous Bondi models it is very comfortable. The only thing that bothered me at the beginning was the high lip above the heel. It seemed different and stiff, but it is better now.

I have 2 bad feet!!! They pronate, I wear an orthotic, poor circulation, and swell throughout the day. This shoe covers it all! Love the laces. Never come untied and gives with swelling. This is my 8th pair. My latest is the Bondi 8. I truly can't live without my HOKAS!!!!!

I simply love this shoe. There is so much comfort and space. It is the most supportive shoe that I've ever had. I am on my feet all day and you still get me an ankle pain. But now with these shoes I could last a lot longer on my feet and at the end of my work day I have no pain. Best purchase/investment I have ever made for my joints.

Not loving the colors that were offered. Purchased what I was offered in my size, but feel self conscious wearing them since I think they look like Clown feet they are so wide and the color so loud. I have been a HOKA customer for 6 years and have loved the prior BONDI's that I wore. This one felt too narrow in the regular size and I had to go to the wide size. But the new style definitely feels different to me.

I live in these shoes. I am unhappy when I have to wear other shoes. What else can I say?

Love everything about them except the laces-my 1st pair of hokas had a better quality shoe lace-these are cheaper otherwise a good shoe

I love love love my Bondi 7's, so I had high hopes for Bondi 8, but no such luck. There is a hard piece of plastic near the arch that doesn't feel good at all. I wish that they hadn't changed the design of this shoe, because I have two pair of the Bondi 7, one for work and one for home. Now, I need to find a new shoe.

Most comfortable shoes I have ever own

I have been buying Bondis for years and the 8s are NOT comfortable! Much more narrow in the toe box than previous models and I don't feel like there is the same amount of cushion. Only plus is the color selection!
