Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

The fit and comfort is wonderful but the fabric on the toe of the shoe is already starting to fray.

I chose a shoe for everyday running with cushion and ended up buying the Bondi 8. It's a NO. They are great for cushioned walking (heal to toe), but not running... unless you are a pronounced heal to toe runner. I'm a bit more forward/toe and didn't like the feel and not the amount of cushion I needed. I've had other hoka shoes, Challenger, which are for trail running as well and liked them much, much better. Bummed.

They have a spot on the edge of my foot that rubs. I had to add gauzes to the inside to keep from rubbing.

I love the shoes but the sides are already coming apart

Not enough cushion from toes to mid foot. Heels have enough cushion. I'm not a heel runner. My mid foot hit the ground first. Need more need same amount of cushion from heel to toes. Color and pattern is nice, it gives the illusion the shoes not wide from mid foot to toes. I usually wear size 6, but 5.5 fits right for my feet. I knew I need to buy a smaller size since the shoes are very roomy.

First time I tried your brand. They don't give the support I was hoping for in a running shoe. Plus on right foot there is an extra high pad that feels uncomfortable.

I recently sustained a foot injury and if it wasn't for my hoka sneakers, I couldn't walk.

These shoes hurt my feet but look great? Im trying to break them in slowly, but its been 2 week's and it's not getting any better. Good thing there's a 100 test. Im give it another week before I make a decision to keep or return. Feels too small in the arch, great fit in the toes and yes i bought and wear a wide shoe

I plugged in the size that I wear in Skechers, Nike and Puma (7.5) Hoka insisted I should order the 8. As soon as I saw it in the box I could already tell that it was going to be too large. Luckily, returns are fairly simple and I hope to receive the 7.5 pretty soon. And hopefully those will be OK.

My daughter has had multiple surgeries on her ankle and a condition which causes her pain. At the recommendation of her orthopedic surgeon I bought her these shoes. They are very comfortable and supportive but unfortunately after 3 months wore down to where the plastic was exposed at the back and impaled her flesh causing her to bleed as she walked in them. The shoes are ruined with blood all over them, but I bought another pair because she sings such high praises of the support they provide her. Hoping these pair last longer.

Still great quality and what I expected, but they definitely don't feel as comfortable as my other hokas, in particularly my Cliftons. In particular, they feel a lot less breathable/ more tight through the tongue, and there feels to be less cushioning.

I've had my Bondi's for over a year now and only wear them at work (ER RN). They saved my feet from Plantar Fasciitis which I'm so thankful for however, they began falling apart after 6 months of use. Mind you I work 3 12 hour shifts a day where I'm on my feet constantly. For the steep price though, I just wish they had lasted longer.

I ordered an 8 but was actually sent an 8 wide so they are a bit loose on me. The sole is nice and comfortable but wish they fit a little better.

Shoes are not very comfortable at all. To bulky. Or (wide) look bad on feet

I ordered the wide in this show and a regular width was sent. They do not fit and now are no longer available in wide. When ordering there was an 8 and an 8B available. Notes said 8 was wide width which is what i ordered. 8B was sent. I have these shoes in other colors so i know the shoes are great if you get the right size.

Returned due to right shoe not fitting.

I wear them to work. The shoes are comfortable as a whole, and support my back, but the right shoe has a raised arch which pushes into the bottom of my foot. Its uncomfortable for long periods of time.

I did the True Fit and it said the size I should order is a 9 W. I wear an 8.5 EE in the New Balance 928. In the Bondi 8 size 9 W I had to remove the insert in order to get my foot in the shoe. The Hoka Bondi 8 was not wide enough for me and I had to return them. Hoka should make Women's shoes in EE and EEE widths. I like their shoes but I can't wear them because of the size and width.

I previously purchased the Bondi 7 and was very happy with them. I am on my feet at a hospital and usually get about 10,000 steps a day. The Bondi 7 was like walking on a cloud. When it came time to replace them I chose the Bondi 8. Sadly, they were not as comfortable as my previous shoes. I wore them for about 2 weeks and then decided to return them. I chose a different style of Hoka that I hope will fill my needs. The Bondi 8 is a quality shoe but in my opinion it is not as comfortable and cushioning as the Bondi 7.

I go to the gym 2 days a week and wear them all the time.

I absolutely love my Bondi 6 for walking. The fit and comfort are perfect for me. I was only able to find the Bondi 8 for sale on the website. However, as a result of the redesign utilizing an attached gusset to one side of the tongue, the fit was too tight.
