Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I think my shoes were faulty or made incorrectly. When I would walk, they made a crunch/squeak like noise. It felt similar to walking in soaking wet shoes. I tried to get past it but I sadly can't.

I wanted to love them, but they look huge on my feet, but the mid foot is quite narrow. The arch support is fantastic, but being narrow, it felt sharp on y arch.

Felt true to size and width. However, the arch was too uncomfortable.

Made my arches hurt and very tall shoes. Super cute, but will have to return and try another brand or style of Hokas. I read reviews and sized up half size and that was a good decision.

I’ve worn my original Hoka Bondi’s like crazy this past year or two, and thought I’d just get a fresh pair, esp. being purple! I did not like the pink with the purple—it comes off a lot stronger than I expected. But then, because I’ve had some problems staying centered on the Bondi, decided to try the Hoka Gaviota again, a stability shoe. When I bought my original Bondi’s, the Gaviota felt hard and uncomfortable. But low and behold, Hoka has fixed that issue with MUCH better padding. They are magical for me! I’m a Gaviota girl now, so Bondi’s going back.

size 9-1/2 is too short

These are way too narrow! I am a 9 wide in every shoe I wear. I ordered 9 wide, and they are so tight! They were horribly painful! They hit my bunion at the worst possible spot and caused me so much pain! I finally had to cut the tongue and loosen the strings a LOT. And then the old-fashioned method of enduring the pain until I "broke them in". Not okay for the price and I will not buy this brand again. Get the Skechers Elite Cushioning instead!

These fit fine and have been comfortable when walking for long periods of time in my neighborhood. The toe box of this style feels quite roomie. Although I don't mind it, I think I'd rather have a more compact feeling shoe. I only rated them so low due to their color/material. I got the white ones and never dreamed they would be so hard to keep clean. It's like the fabric attracts dust, especially when walking outside. It's very disappointing as you would think with something so costly, the proper material would have been used to make them, especially with outside use in mind. It's so bad I would return them if it were an option.

Fit was tight and uncomfortable. The bottom wear was disappointing .

I like the style, but it’s not very comfortable. I had foot pain after 8 hour shift. The arch support was horrible.

I had to return these because the arch was too high and caused more pain in my ankle

This is my 4th or 5th pair of Hoka Bondi shoes in size 7 wide, and these felt wider than all my other pairs. They were not comfortable and keep worsening a callus that I have.

Comfortable, but the base of the shoe is too wide, making it hard to walk comfortably. And I wish that there was more arch support.

I anticipated that these would be the most comfy sneakers ever but was so disappointed. It felt (esp on the L) that my heels were lower than the rest of the foot but the tongue is wide and funky and I have arthritis in all the small bones at the top of both feet and these killed my feet even at rest. I didn't think they were all that cushioned & they make your feet look ginormous!! Very disappointing!

heel too thick

too thick heels

There appeared to be a stain on one of the shoes and I did not even try them on.

The material is soft but when putting on the shoe the back heel collapses and you have to dig out the heel.

Color tooo white…. Need return
