Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I love the color of the shoes and they fit well, but I'm having a hard time with all the noise they make. My shoes squeak every time I walk. It's both frustrating and embarrassing. This is the 2nd pair that has done this. I thought it might be a fluke with the first pair, but it happened again.

The shoes is okay, not much better then my slip on SKECHER.

I was so excited about trying Hokas hoping my plantar Fasciitis would feel miraculously better. However, I am disappointed because I really don't feel a difference than my ASICS. I probably won't buy another pair.

The shoe is very comfortable and was recommended by my doctor. But I wear orthotics, and the orthotics have a heel that raises the shoe a little bit so my Hokas are worn on the inside back of the shoe by the heal . after wearing them six months, the material is ripped by the heel.? So have tried 2 Hokas and the inside heal area is worn out .

While the shoes are very comfortable in size and softness of the sole; the lack of support can make for a painful experience.

This is my 3rd pair of HOKA Bondi's and it seems with each pair they are less and less comfortable.. I remember at first they were super cushy , almost walking on a cloud. And now my feet and legs are tired after work. Something has changed. Will probably be my last pair. I will have to buy inserts to add more cushion/padding.

The representative helping me choose was awesome. However ad wide is not 3e. I was assured it was the perfect option but unfortunately it is not suitable for my foot issues

This is my first pair of hokas for jogging. The insoles are not enough for plantar fasciitis - I swapped the insoles. The heel does not go up high enough to grip my heel. The wide shoe is not wide enough. The cushion is nice and the colors are very cute. But I'm debating returning.

Even though I purchased a half size larger than I normally wear and wide width, I cannot wear my orthotics with these shoes. I have hallux rigidus. The first time I wore these, I attended a meeting and was sitting for about an hour. I was in so much pain by the time I got back to my car I had to remove the shoe on my bad foot immediately. The shoes are very restrictive across the top ball of foot area. I have ordered another pair to try a half size smaller without my orthotics. I wish Hoka made an all black style of Carbon 3 shoes. I need black and a stiff sole for work.

I cant blame the shoe itself - the sole is way comfy, however, I got blisters immediately on both feet. I do get blisters easily, but my cheaper walking shoes were not giving me this problem. I just wanted higher quality ones and thought I would give these a try. Unfortunately, after 2 days, I did decide to return them

Love the comfort however, after wearing these for only a few weeks I am disappointed in how much money I spent on these only to have the pink slowly wearing off to expose the white underneath. Totally ruins the look of the shoe. I would love to be contacted as I have a photo of the shoes. I noticed there's nowhere here to attach a photo. I did buy a second pair of shoes but now I'm not sure if I'm going to keep them because of this issue.

I wear these to work but they got dirty so fast. A bit big too.

Purchased a previous pair of Bondi tennis shoes and the were perfect in fit. Unfortunately, my new purchase the shoe is rather narrow. I'm hoping they will stretch and be more comfortable.

So weird because I ordered one pair and they fit great then I ordered the same pair but a different color and they fit tight around my toes. Had to return. Too bad because I really enjoyed my first pair.

The tongue on the product is a little off to the side and it's sold so you wouldn't be able to fix that not really too happy

I find the Bondi 8 to be less cushioned, less comfortable than my Bondi 6s (I stocked up on them because they were the best!). The Bondi 8 style seems narrower and cuts into my insole; I purchased the same size I've worn in the past. I'm hoping they just stretch out a little, but not happy with the "new and improved" model.

I really wanted to love this shoe. I researched a lot of different kinds of running shoes and these always ranked high on the list. I am running a half marathon so I want to train in good shoes. I have had them for a week now and have done 5 runs and my foot falls asleep. They are not tight either so I am thinking it's how high the shoe is. I will be returning them. Maybe I need one that is closer to the ground. Also, I have brooks and ASICS and my foot doesn't go numb so it has to be the shoe. It is a good shoe, but it isn't for me.

After all the hype, I was expecting to walk on clouds. Not so. There is no more cushioning than sneakers half the price. Also, Hoka would not accept ANY promo codes, and acted like free shipping over $100. was a big deal.
