Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

The size fit perfectly. However, I bought them for my heel pain. I got no relief from that. Since I wore them and can’t return them, I’m going to look at inserts. Wish I had just stuck with my ugly Oofos. They do help.

If only they didn’t make me look like I have duck feet.

I have other pairs of Hokas ( in fact I have Hoka Bondi 7 as well) and generally love the shoes. These however are more sturdy than my other Hokas and are more akin to hiking shoes. Not so much like sneakers.

These sneakers are cute but they are kind of big overall, width and design wise. I'm 5'2" and wear a 7.5 shoe and have narrow feet and the sneakers are super wide and looked enormous on me. Unfortunately had to return them.

I ordered my usual size but my toes touch the end of the shoe and it crowds the outside of my big toe. I attributed it to the padding with the expectation they would begin to fit as usual but they did not. Very expensive mistake to make. Now I see why so many Hoka shoes are on sale on Marketplace that are barely used, hard to return after they have been worn.

I have had many Hoka shoes, typically Bondi. The Bondi 8 has a more narrow toe box. Too bad.

Shoes were obviously a return - like someone tried on. I didn’t appreciate that. However they were not “worn”

The shoe is great, looks amazing. For the fit, a long stiff edge kept pressing against the bridge/curved area between. I tried same show different color at Nordstrom and that was not the case. I was planning to try the shoe there and order the desired color from Zappos. I wore the shoe and went to airport and realized I can not continue wearing as it kept pressing the bottom of bridge of my feet and started to hurt. Unfortunately I had to remove the shoe and buy new pair from the airport :( It was such a bad Hoka experience. I love their shoes since it works for my feet, but I am nervous to try now.

I was super excited to try the Hoka shoes as I have planter fasciitis and have two herniated disks in my lower back and they came highly recommended. Unfortunately the part of the sole that curves under the arch can be felt in the arch of your foot. I exchanged them for the wide, thinking that might help, but the problem continued. Unfortunately I have to return them.

Disliked the wide sole. Fit was fine but base is about 1 inch wider & longer at the toe.

Foot felt comfortable in the shoe but made my hips hurt.

The shoe had an awkward fit, the side of the shoe was poking like the stitching was off. I love Hoka I returned this shoe!

I wanted to love these despite the spendy price. The shoe itself is beautiful colors and made well. It just felt way to clunky I prefer a more streamlined cushion running shoe like Brooks.

VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.

The wide was really wide. I typically where a 8.5 in shoes and had to order a 9. The wide is too wide. The regular seems a bit snug. I am going to try it around the house and see how it works. I have arthritis in my feet so constantly looking for a shoe that provides comfort.
