Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I could feel the sole material, and wasn’t liking it

The shoe itself fit perfect....Except for the toe box~ Within an hour after wearing them at home, both my big toes and one little toe went numb. Took off my shoes, one toe was turning blue!!! No fixing this problem. I'll have to return them. I'm so disappointed~

Not happy with this purchase. As other reviewers have stated, the heel area is just a tad too loose thus causing constant rubbing. I didn't notice this at first. I wore the shoes around the house, and after thinking they had a good fit, I wore them on my daily 4 mile walk. The first few days I thought the shoes were fantastic. There is great arch support, great toe box space, great cushion and absorption, however, by the end of the first week I started developing long blisters along the left side of both my heels. I've never had this occur before. As one of the other reviewers recommended, I bought heavier socks. While this did help, there is still constant rubbing on the heels because the shoe is just too roomy in that area. This is really annoying because of the price of the shoes. This is clearly a design defect and shouldn't be happening. The shoes are great in every other way (except for color choices. I purchased the apricot color and it is gross, but my size wasn't available in any of my preferred colors. I was going for comfort, so didn't really care about color). I am a consistent size 8.

Shoe was comfortable but mine came with a weird bend in the top of the toe box that pushed against my big toe. It was definitely a design flaw or defective because it was only on the left shoe. Ultimately returned them because of the discomfort.

Didn't like the style. Too much shoe.

Size and fit was good, support/comfort was disappointing. No cushion, felt like hollow hard foam under my feet

I have 4 pairs of Hoka in my closet and not a problem. The Hoka Bondi 8 is like walking on cardboard. Sorry

Zappos sent me a worn pair of shoes in a partially open Amazon box. The shoes had visible dirt on the soles and sides of the shoe. The shoe’s platform is excessively big as well, making my feet look bulky. Would not recommend this style of shoe.

Very slippery bottoms. I love my old Biondi 8's, these just weren't the same.

Insufficient support. Look is big and bulbous. I'm returning the shoes.

It fits well but I can't wear it for more than 2-3 hours because it hurts the top of my foot area. Feels too snug. Unfortunately, I wore these outside and am unable to return them.

She was too tight around the ankle and two boxy on the outside

Really strange fit. Seemed just about the right size, but no matter how they're laced, they seem to flex in an odd way when I step such that the part supporting the inside of the arch (the medial plantar fascia, I guess?) rubs against the edge of the foot and gives me blisters. Overall the whole shoe seems to move and flex and change shape as I step which made for a truly uncomfortable, weird experience. These also just don't feel as bouncy and comfy as other ultra-padded shoes I've tried. I had to give up after about four 5km test jogs because the blisters just wouldn't stop.

Not very good
