i have a pair of hoka bondi 8"s that i've had for some years and decided it was time to get a new pair. the new ones are clunkier and actually don't feel any better then the bondi 6's that i've been wearing. i'll keep wearing my old ones!

I’ve worn Hoka Bondi for years at the recommendation of my orthopedic surgeon. He liked their cushion and generous toe box. I’ve walked hundreds of miles in my Hokas and done so comfortably. Recently, I’ve noticed the toe box is narrower, causing discomfort. So I ordered a wide this time. The wide is exactly the same as the medium! I measured and compared inserts. No difference. Sadly I’m returning and have started a search for a new brand. Wish me luck!

Not wide enough. And I tried several different types/models of your shoes/hiker, I cannot wear any of them. I even tried sizing up, they're still not wide enough! And sizing up is not good for the foot if shoe does not bend in correct place.

Bought the wide pair and they were still snug in the toe box for me.

Material felt okay; but they’re still too long for an 11, and too wide for my feet.

The arch support it not in the right place. Feels too narrow in the arch. I have wore Boni for years and could alway count on them to fit and be comfortable. With the exception of this model. I'm forced to look for another brand

I have the white hoka Bondi and for some reason the gray do not fit the same and I tied on 3 pairs. They hurt on the inner part of the arches. So I returned them.

These shoes felt comfortable as soon as I put them on. The soles flare out and that makes them very stable but I didn't anticipate that it also makes them dangerous. As I was descending the stairs in my home, the sole by the heel caught on the riser not once but twice. Fortunately I managed to maintain my balance both times. I sent these shoes back because I couldn't count on being so lucky a third time.

Ladies shoes are still too narrow for my feet. I had to order women size, because Zappos were out of Bondi 8 mens 10.5 in every color, and without the wide option. That is why I have a hard time finding the shoe I need, as they don't carry enough wide shoes nor in the mens or womens, so I had to return these, as women Hokas, even in the wide is still too narrow for my feet.

I wear a 10 wide. had the gaviota 4 as my 1st pr of hoka's. size was great but needed more cushion. bought the Bondi 8 because of how much cushion it said it has. the amount of cushion is great but the arch is too high even though I need some arch this is too much, felt like I was walking on my arches. wore them all day at a festival and by the time I got home I could hardly walk. and my usual size seems too long. toe box width was great but mid foot seems a little narrow. and they added some extra width to the bottom sole that makes them look way wider which looks ridiculous.

If you want to feel like you are standing on a cloud these shoes have the perfect sole, but beware if you have wide feet. I got these in a wide (depending on shoe I sometimes need a wide, sometimes don't) and it was still uncomfortable in the mid foot area. The insoles go up very high on the inside of the shoe and create a hard line that sits very uncomfortably into the foot. The arahi 7 was much more comfortable for a wide fit.

I like my sneakers to be comfortable right out of the box. These were a wide but still not as comfortable as other brands. The color of the shoe was a mustard yellow & a dull light blue not as pictured. Had to return.

I loved Bondi 7 - but Bondi 8 was much more narrow (even purchased in a wide width). The materials seemed cheaper and overall not a comfortable shoe. I remember the relief of slipping on those first Bondi's but this update doesn't do it for me. Returned and ordered the aptly timed reissue of Bondi 7

I wore these shoes while working a weekend event where I was on my feet for many hours a day. My feet hurt so bad it was like walking on cement. There's no give , no cushion to these shoes. This is the second pair of Bondi I have bought, and I have been disappointed with both pair. I'm going to have to try another shoe company once again.

Their beds were completely wide until where the shoelaces were. They were so tight in that area that I really could not wear them . Shame. A 1/2 size bigger and they were too big
