Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I bought this same pair in Feb different color. Loved them but I got a wide this time as I've had some swelling. The heel keeps crushing no matter how I try to avoid it. And hard to pull out most of the time. My 12 reg seems to have more room and fit better and it's never had the heel crush issue. Also I don't particularly like the elastic on the tongue it makes it difficult for me and more tight than is needed in my opinion

Have been wearing the same design the Bondi but for some reason not as comfortable and hurting my feet. Kinda disappointed. Go back to the old design.

True to size. Could use a little more cushioning particularly at the ball of the feet.

I was excited to order the Bondi 8 because my 7's were so so cushioned and comfortable but the 8's I received aren't, was a bit disappointed since I paid so much for them.

These shoes are hard and uncomfortable on my feet. The inside is not that wide and the shoe looks super wide from the top. The inserts are hard and I'm getting an issue with one of my heels now. I think I'll try doctor scholls insets to see if they help. My other hookas were a lot better but they weren't Bondi's. I decided to try these because of the reviews. I would not recommend these.

I have worn Bondi's for years and like the fit of the shoe, especially as I'm on my feet 12 hours at work as a nurse. However, the 8's were too wide with the tapered platform and I felt like my foot looked and felt too wide. I ordered the black ones but the taper is also black so it looked weirdly wide. I ended up sending them back but plan on getting the 9's when they come out IF they get rid of the taper.

Look like Herman Monster shoes The color black was like a faded black

I use my Hoka shoes for my work . I'm an RN on my foot at work most of the time for 12.5 hrs.

No arch and not as soft as expected. I have had multiple surgeries on my feet and needed very soft shoes near the front toe box area, these were soft in the heel.

Previously wearing Rincon and thought I'd try something different. Had to send them back for wide. Across the arch was ver constricting.

I was so hoping that the new updated Bondi was as good or better than the 7 but they are not. In fact, they actually hurt wearing them for 10 hours a day whereas the 7s were the best thing since sliced bread. With the price I paid I should be able to get through my work day without my feet hurting like like I was able to do with the 7. Not sure what "upgrades" they made but it wasn't a good one.

I am a Hoka wearer for over 15 years . I have worn many of the versions but love the Bondi versions the best until this version . I had to go to the Clifton 9 this time . If you are wanting extra cushioning this shoe has it for sure but for Wide feet and stability and no Duck feet look ( PLEASE FIX THIS WITH THE NEXT MODEL ) . I am a die hard Bondi Wide lover as are many and fix the arch for all it just needs some adjustments. Thank you - HOKA lover for life .

I buy hokas every few momths because they fit me better than any other shoe. I had to order thesr in wide. Please don't make them narrower!

I love the style and the look. I'm happy with Bondin8, just wish they were soft and cushiony inside the sole. It does hurt my feet by the end of day.

I don't wear a wide shoe so I purchased these in a standard size and they rub my small toe to the point of being very uncomfortable. This is very disappointing considering the expense of the shoe. I purchased the shoe b/c I'm on my feet a lot walking and standing for work, and these were suggested by my podiatrist due to development of plantar fasciitis. I can wear the shoes if I pad my toe, but I really shouldn't be required to do that. I have been a runner all my life and have worn a wide spectrum of shoes over the years, non have ever hurt my toes. I did not purchase these shoes to run in so I'm super surprised they hurt just to stand and walk.

Although shoes were super cute they do not stand the 12 hour shift test. Purchase was not worth the buy for me!

These shoes were not comfortable for me but fortunately they were more comfortable for my daughter. They were too wide for me but still hurt my toes. My daughter who has difficulty with her feet found them comfortable.
