Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Ok, I don't get Hoka's - I tried about 6 different pairs and sizes and could not get the right fit in any of them. I hate the wide base on these. Also, the wides are not wide enough, so I might try one more pair. I do like the base of the Challenger ATR but they run so big I have to go down 1-1/2 sizes to make them work and I am still not positive.

Watch out - these run both short and narrow. I have run in size 6.5 normal width shoes for years. I ultimately needed a size 7 wide in these. The Bondi 8 is quite tapered in the toe box. I have a neuroma and they were killing me by mile 3.

Attractive and quality shoe fits a full size small.

I love Hokas, and had the Bondi 7. The base of the Bondi 8 seems way to wide, kind of reminiscent of a duck! So I returned them even though they were comfortable. Ended up ordering another pair of Bondi 7.

I ordered two different styles of this brand. One of them worked, but this one didn't. I wanted to love these so much I was willing to accept the massive logo on the side. I wear a women's 10.5 wide and ordered the men's size equivalent, but they felt too narrow. I love this brand, this just isn't a style that works for me I guess.

I loved my Bondi 7s but the Bondi 8 is cut much differently. The toe box is extremely narrow to the point of hurting my toes. The tongue is also attached differently and when you have wide feet, it doesnt seem to be made taking that in to account and makes it uncomfortable.

I loved the Hoka Bondi 7 and have owned at least 5 pairs. I have used them EVERY day for walking. I have a wide foot and a high arch and they fit me perfectly. The updated Bondi 8 has the tongue attached inside the shoe and so the tongue does not sit straight when the shoe is on my foot. At first I thought it was just a defect of the pair I received but after trying several other pair and encountering the same issue I've decided the Hoka Bondi just no longer works for me. SO sad as I've loved my Hoka's. (So thankful for Zappos awesome return policy.)

Returned because the heel slopes up at the end causing a slight rocking motion that puts stress on my heel that I don't want. Also sole is strangely wide.

I ordered a wide but it was still a bit to narrow. It was not as comfortable overall as claimed but mostly they are very ugly. I returned them.

I really love my Bondi 7 shoes - I have two colors and they are soooo comfortable for my problem feet. I’m not happy with the changes made to the Bondi 8. They are much stiffer, have less cushioning, and seem to run smaller. Hoka, why did you ruin the best shoe I’ve ever worn?? I’d buy the 7 again if I could find my size in a color I don’t already have.

The size is too small..I bought my other ones through Hoka website. They were perfect

I have been wearing Hoka Bondi for a few years. Everytime I buy a pair they keep getting narrower and narrower. I wear a size 10.5 W. I am sending this pair back in the hopes that the next time I need a pair they will go back to a true W.

My two pairs of Hoka Bondis are getting old. The new version is much too narrow. My foot does not narrow on the outside the way the shoe is shaped.

Not made for me. I needed more of a lift in the back of the shoes. Made my lower back hurt and had some issues with the ankle area, rubbing on my ankles.

I love my Bondi 7's, but the 8 is cheaper fabric and a narrower toe box.

I am not as impressed with these shoes. I bought the Bondi 7 for walking as I have an ankle replacement and walk with pain and they were so comfortable to walk in! I felt like I was walking on two pillows. I went back as I got the Aqua ones in the Bondi 7 to get a pair more for work in black and they didn't have my size anymore in either of the black shoes so I bought the Bondi 8 in the all black. I will keep them but they are definitely not as comfortable nor are they as plush as the Bondi 7s for sure. I'm a bit disappointed. It says they're better but they're not.

These shoes I think had been returned. I felt like the heels of the shoes were leaning inward when I walked. And one shoe felt higher than the other. I felt like I was walking with duck feet. The toe bed was wide enough. I returned them

The new design on the the inner edge cut into my arch, no matter how I laced them. They are designed quite differently than my Bondi 7’s.

This is a pass for me. I LOVED Bondi 7! The Bondi 8 is too hard and inflexible for my needs.

I have been a loyal Bondi wearer for the last 6 years. They have messed up the bondi this year. The toe box is way to narrow in this years style

I am so disappointed that they narrowed the toe box on the Bondi 8s. The Bondi 7s are my go-to’s, and I’m not sure why they had to go and ruin a good thing. I also don’t like how the tongue was now attached to the top of the shoe on one side.

The Hoka Bondi 8 is spiffy but the width did not fit me properly. I'm a fan of the Bondi 7 and assumed the toe bed would be similiar but I didn't have enough room for comfort.

Bought these as a medium size however they were too small and caused blisters.

The Women's wide (D) was far too narrow, especially for a wide shoe. I wear a Women's size 10 typically so I ordered the Men's 'Bondi 8' in a in Men's wide (EE) size 8 and it fits perfectly!

This shoe was bulky and not comfortable. Too much shoe for me.
