I own a pair of the Bondi 8 SR WIDEs and expected these to be a bit more comfortable and lighter. They're definitely lighter; but, sadly, they weren't as comfortable. They certainly don't feel as wide, either. They're not awful; but, for the price, I need and expected better! I've owned so many pairs of HOKAs, but aside from my last pair of SR WIDESs, I've been a bit disappointed with every pair purchased after the Clifton 3s as none have been as plush or roomy in the toe box. I also purchased a pair of NB Fresh Foams (X More v4) at the same time as these and I think I've found myself new brand. These Hokas are going back!

I was so excited to get my Hokas for work and was just disappointed. I left them in the box till I was ready to wear them. They had a stain on them as soon as I took them out the box so I had clean them before I could wear them. Lastly the stiching that holds the tongue down in the right shoe is unraveling. For my first Hokas that I heard so much about and how much I spent I was expecting better. I'm just waiting to see what else may not be good with this pair. But so far they are comfortable.

This is my 2nd pair of Bondi 8 loved the first pair but the newest version has such a wide toe box that they look like clown shoes, they feel great but so did the first ones. I exchaned the first light color for black after my husband said it looked like I was wearing the boxes! I'm a small person so they looked even larger on me, I will probably buy HOKAS again but in a different style.

I regularly rotate walking shoes and bought the Bondi 8 to add to the rotation. I've been wearing Bondis for 6 years now as they helped with plantar fascitis. The Bondi 8s are disappointing as they don't have the cushioning and support I get with my Bondi 6s and 7s. Also the heel is less stable, especially when coming down stairs. Overall I wouldn't buy these again, but they're okay for a few hours at a time.

Bought these Bondi 8 6 months ago on recommendation from my podiatrist. He was right - they helped my plantars fasciitis and tendonitis a lot! Great support. Was so impressed. Wore them a couple times a week. Then this week I noticed a big hole. The cloth material pulled away from the leather on the outer side of shoe. I can fit 2 fingers through the hole! I have Rykas that are 5 years old. I've never seen a shoe do this before! For this price, I expected them to last a lot longer than 6 months. Very disappointing.

I bought them to travel to a vacation destination and unfortunately it hurt my feet. They're an expensive pair and I am willing to give it a second try but I didn't dare to wear them again after the experience on the plane.

Well, these look good but the sizing is crazy! I have two pairs of Hokas and this would have 3rd pair. HOWEVER, these were so much wider ( 1/2") and longer than the EXACT same size of previous pairs. When I put them on, I felt like I had clien shoes on. They were very cushioned, though! Returned!

I was really happy with my first pair of Bondi 8 So I ordered my second pair the Blue and pink Bondi 8 are so squeaky. !!
I have never worn a shoe that squeaked. Fit is good but the squeak is annoying.
I will give this one a 3 star rating. Btw a narrow width would be a winner.

I was told that these were same as Stinson with a street sole instead of trail sole. But they feel very different. I will stick to Stinson trail soles

I wanted an all black shoe that I could wear to work and these would have worked, but they irritated my ankles. I wear thick socks and the shoes rubbed the inside of my ankles when I walked. Just the few minutes I had them on made my ankles feel like they had a rug burn. I usually don't order wide, but when I measured my feet, my toes were between the med and wide mark.

This was a super wide shoe I have a slim foot but these were like boats I was tripping over my feet, the good side they were comfortable but I felt like my foot would spread with all the extra room

This is the 4th pair of Hoka I have purchased. This particular pair due to a Lis Franc Fracture and surgical intervention. These were recommended Bondi 8 for walking. I've not been completely convinced as they are tight and cause pain on surgical site. Working on getting them worn in. Love my other pairs!!!

They were unfortunately not nearly as comfortable as my Bindi 7's. It felt like a layer of cushion had been left out.

I ordered wide width because of reviews. I usually wear standard width, but these still pinch my baby toes.

I purchased these in November and waited until now to write a more fair review. I wish I had done the 60 day return. For this price I feel like they should have been life changing and they just weren't. I have completely flat feet and fallen arches and I thought these should have had better support. Within four months with moderate wear they have not kept their shape and support

Stunning and vibrant shoe! Length and width were spot on but the arch dug uncomfortably on both shoes. Sent back for a refund.

Hoka products are excellent quality. HOKA online ordering form is unprofessional and poorly executed due to the confusion over where the purchase will be delivered on final review, if not having sent to my address. So much room for improvement.

Last Hoga I purchased was a @clinton and liked the narrower front of the shoe better.
Have a no of pairs and love the rest

Pros- I have very wide feet and these sneakers are by far the most comfortably wide ones that I have tried. The insoles are relatively cushioned.
Cons- My heels kept popping out of the shoes and this has only a 4mm heel to toe drop, so it doesn't feel comfortable for my knees.

I wore the Bondi 7 and they were great. The 8 has caused serious knee pain for me. They are too narrow.

Not the same. Extremely disappointed. It appears you altered the Bondi 8 by removing much of the sole cushioning that previously made these shoes heaven to walk/jog in. They feel nothing like the cushioning in my Bondi 7 (purchased 2 yrs ago) or my other Bondi 8 (purchased just 9 mos ago) !!

Tried the Bondi W as it was on sale. Have to back to Graviota for the width. The shoes was really cute though.
