Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I bought these because as a barber I'm on my feet about 90% of the day. They are amazing shoes!

I got these shoes because I work retail and they are so highly rated for standing shoes. After 4 months I was experiencing excruciating heel and calf pain. My heels constantly feel like they are dipping too low are putting strain on my achilles tendons. My podiatrist diagnosed me with plantar fasciitis. after switching back to flat boots with insoles, the pain has been clearing up. While these can be great for walking, I wouldn't recommend them anymore.

First, I have been a Bondi fan since Bondi 4 and was excited to get the Bondi 8. Unfortunately they squeaked loudly with every step. I should also say that I had already purchased a pair of Bondi 8 at a local store which had the same sound squeak.I was advised to put baby powder in the heels so I did and the squeak continued. They wouldn't take them back at the local store so I donated those. Thankful that I have two pairs of Bondi 7. I will be looking for a different Hoka style and will wait for the next Bondi version. I bought the second pair from the Hoka site and did return them and really appreciate the awesome return process.

I love the color and the awesome fit! I ordered a size 7 wide and these sneakers are heaven. I feel like I'm wearing comfortable slippers. I purchased them for walking and because of the recommendations of the Bondi 8 for folks with flat feet and wide toe box. I love. love. love them!!!!! For the past three days, I wore them for eight hours each day and to my surprise... my feet have not hurt. My feet are HAPPY!!!

The bottom is so wide it looks like a boat on my feet. Otherwise a great shoe

I struggled with foot pain for years...started wearing HOKA about two years ago and it was like a miracle. No more foot pain and the most comfortable shoe ever. You owe it to your feet to try these shoes.

I use it to go to work. It feels great when we exercise. Super comfortable

I absolutely love these shoes. I am on my feet all day on concrete and these are the only shoes that I can wear. This purchase is my 2nd Bondi8 - I also have1 pair of SR Leather (slip resistant) and older Bondi7s as well as Hoka Hiking for when I need additional ankle support. I do not run but walk 8-10 miles daily at work and like the even wider base of Bondi8. I wear a different shoe every day to keep the foot pain at bay. They are worth every penny!!

Used the shoes for walking, but not the best fit. Felt too large and too wide.

I just had twins and during my pregnancy my feet got wider... and wider..... to the point where basically nothing fit and everything hurt- these saved my feet. The only sneakers that offered enough support and were actually comfortable. Highly recommend if you have wide feet.

A friend recommended Hokas as great shoes for knee problems, because it feels like you're walking on a cushion. That's exactly what I found. But they hurt my feet, so when I have to be on my feet all day - which is what I bought them for - my feet hurt. I've simply exchanged knee pain for foot pain. Funny thing, though - I find them hard to walk slowly in. They make me walk really fast. I've also felt a bit unstable on them, even almost fallen over a couple of times.

Great for walking...very comfortable and good looking!!

These are the best walking/working shoe I've ever had! Awesome fit, comfortable and really great looking too.

Awesome style, comfort. As promised when I walk in these shoes I do not even feel tired very comfortable.

this is second pair of Hokas. They have really helped me walk with confidence again!

I love these shoes, I loved the 7, but the 8 has the support and stability I need for not only running, but for strength and HIIT training too.

I work on my feet all day.....I was having heel pain....NOT ANYMORE....My podiatrist recommended Hoka's

I love this shoe for how it helps with my plantar fasciitis. I work in healthcare, so this is my work shoe. The only problem is that the color on the sides of the soles wear off so easily, making the shoes look old very quickly. This is my third pair that has done this.

I've never been able to go for long walks because of many issues with my feet. But with my Hoka shoes, I've been able to build up to 40 minute walks and hope to keep going. Wearing these shoes feels like I'm walking on pillows!

I had the Bondi 6, 7, X, and now the 8. I loved my 6, so I bought the 7 but hated it so I bought the X which I loved. I needed a new shoe and the store was having a sale so I bought the 8, they did not carry the X. Well I like the 8! It is plusher thank the 7 but less than the 6. I'm happy I bought the 8 and am considering purchasing another. I just wish they came in more exciting colors.

Very comfortable, love the thick souls. Will be ordering another pair in a different color

The change from Bondi 7 to Bondi 8 is very noticeable. The Bondi 8 is AMAZING! The fit is perfect and the support yet lots of cushion just make them hands down my favorite sneakers ever.
