Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Originally, I ordered the 8.5 wide and they were so narrow in the toe that I couldn't get them on. I would strongly suggest ordering a size up as this made a huge difference after I received a size 9 wide. Unfortunately, I've found these shoes to be very painful & am contemplating sending them back. The first day my feet hurt and I had a sharp shooting pain from my foot to my hip. I thought they just needed to be broken in, 2nd day was similar but with additional pain in my lower back. I wore them for over 8 hours as I drove to NC, wore them the next day walking over 5 miles and then the drive home; only my feet hurt a little. I thought they were finally broken in but was wrong. Every day this week, my feet were too hot and sweaty and the side of the shoes have become too tight between my toes and heel. I bought these because I work in a warehouse that has cement floors for 8 hours a day. The warehouse also has no ac or heat so air flow and comfort are a must! When I tired my old shoes on, they hurt so badly I didn't go more than 10 steps. I then put my Bondi's back on and they hurt my feet just not as much. These really aren't worth the price or hype and feel just like my sketchers workshoes ; really disappointed.

When i open the box and looked at the shoes i was disappointed. There was spots that looked like dried blood on the side and tongue of the shoe so i looked at the other shoe and there was spots on it also. I never even tried it on after seeing that. I pacjed it back up and shipped it right back. Your shipping department needs to check the shoes they are shipping before they package it. If im paying the price of the shoes i dont want them stained before i even wear them.

I have bought four pairs of these Hoka Bondi's, and I love them so much! My feet feel great after my consecutive long shifts. I did have one pair that I'm disappointed in, the shoe tongue is sowed down and not right at all. It's sewed too far on the outer of the shoe making it crooked and also they made the tongue very short, it hardly sticks out of the shoe. When you line up all four pairs, you can visibly see the defect. I'm hoping they will resolve the issue since these shoes are pricy!

I really wanted to love these especially since they were comfortable. However I wanted white sneakers, they have a very light blue color to them. It's too noticeable to get past.

This is my second pair of the eight version, and they are just NOT as comfortable as the seven. I even ordered the wide which I don't really need, but for some reason in 8, I needed it. It's still rubbing on the side of my foot though This will be my last pair of the eight I buy. I would've bought the seven, but they were out of black

This is my second pair of the Hoka Bondi 8. I loved my first pair but this pair's outside sole is ripping already.

I was shocked and surprised that this new pair of HOKAs were so rough with little cushioning and caused severe foot pain. This is a first. I've never had to break any pair of HOKAs in snd never had problems. Furthermore, it was the same size abd width as the one I bought at a local store. It was a wide but felt like it was cut narrower than it should be. I m very disappointed and hope the exchanged pair will fit better. I will continue to return till I get a good pair that helps my feet.

I needed to replace my old Bondi 7 so I decided to try the Bondi 8. One reason I fell in love with the Bondi 7 was because it was wide enough to not rub my toe/bunion even if my feet swelled. Unfortunately, the Bondi 8 doesn't have the same width or roominess in the toe box as my old Bondi 7. Such a shame.
