Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

For 2 weeks these shoes was wonderful to my feet ,but now they hurts its like the cushion inside my shoe left,I don't know what happen i walk in them every day, I got them but no change. My first pair and everyone talk about these shoes but they are not for me sorry.

When I first saw these shoes I thought they were going to be heavy and awkward to walk with, but it was everything opposite - they are light, comfy and even though I have not used them much, whenever I wear them my feet feel "secure", in other words, I hope they continue to give me comfort when I walk, arch and bones will not flare up in pain.

Cushioning is really good. Area under the balls of my feet is extremely uncomfortable. The tighter the shoes are laced the more uncomfortable they are. My heel most affected by plantar faceitus is really painful when wearing this shoe. I work on a concrete floor and if I'm moving the shoes are wearable. When just standing in place my feet hurt very bad. I'm trying to give them time hoping that it's a break in period that's needed. If not I won't be keeping them.

I wear my Hokas everyday and they are very comfortable. I have had them just about a month and the black rubber part already has a spot where the black has worn off and there is a white spot. When you pay this kind of money for them, I don't think that should happen especially when they aren't abused.

It's huge and not my type but I have to wear it as recommended.

For a wide shoe the pair I got was very narrow. I've been wearing HOKA wides for at least 6-7 years and these were awful. Don't know if they were miss marked / sized.

I have been wearing Bondi for the last few years. My first pair was the best! Wish the toe box was less narrow. Not sure I like the way the tongue is secured to the side of the shoe. I am on my feet sometimes 10-12 hours on hard concrete and the Bondi serves better than the other shoes I have tried.

I was very excited to receive my first pair of HOKA and hope it will be better for my feet since my search results recommend it. Unfortunately , I only wore 1 day indoor, I got more heel pain. Then I did some research again. The heel to toe drop is only 4 mm. It is too low for my feet. It is sad I can not keep the shoe.

The tan on the heel broke on day 2 :(. I use it to put my shoes on so that stinks.

Loved the look but the inside sole was so hard that it really hurt my foot. Returned them

Very disappointed in the Bondi 8 wides, they are very narrow for what Hoka calls a wide shoe. I've been wearing Hoka's for at least 6 years now and love them. Don't know if my Bondi's were miss sized or marked but very disappointed.

So I have bought 3 pairs in the last 6 months. Well I wear them for work only. I am on my feet all day on concrete in a warehouse, so I need a good arch support. These work great for about a week and a half. Then it starts to feel like I've lost my arch support. So we will see. So I have been switching between the three pairs just for work only. Any ideas or tips are much appreciated. Thank you. Overall great compliments and comforting for average day use. Maybe not on concrete walking all day. And I usually get in about 15,000 steps during the 8 hour shift, so yes I am in them all day.

I really wanted to like this model. I especially like the way they look. They felt ok initially, not bad in real time, but at the end of the day when I took them off, my feet throbbed. Returned

I was excited to try Hoka for the time, but unfortunately, all 3 versions (Bondi, Gaviota, and Clifton) did not work for my foot shape. I have a wide forefoot and skinny heels. Bondi pinched my foot and my heels slipped. My feet felt constricted. The shoe looks very bulky and wide, but it does not fit wide. I recommend Hoka for people with regular and narrow width only. Length-wise they are true to size. They felt like they could very supportive and seemed to have good arch support. I ended up trying Brooks Ghost Max and they seem to have the volume I need for my feet and my insoles can fit in them too.

They are comfortable to walk in and I love the color but the bottoms of the soles in the toe area flare out and look comical. I returned them.

I am not 100% sure about the shoes. I am flat footed. Some days the shoes feel great and others don't. I was hoping it would help with standing all day at school.

I have tried 3 different pairs and I find them still not comfortable. I bought at a different store and could only get a credit which is understandable but disappointing. I wish I could get a refund instead of having to keep a pair that I will likely wear very little.

I love the shoes but one week after they arrived the price dropped to half of what I paid. I am disappointed that I paid so much and a week later they went to 1/2 price. I feel robbed.

I bought these because I always wanted this pair. I loved the orange!! When I got them in the mail I could tell they had been used and I found a stain on them. Definitely returning.

While I usually love Hoka the sole on this particular model is so thick I find myself tripping unless I REALLY remember to pick my feet up.
