Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I ordered this style based on recommendation by OR nurse. She promised these were a step above Clifton 9s.wrong I wear the Clifton 9s and love them I did not like this style. 1 shoe felt like something was sticking me in the foot.. bottoms felt hard. I will stick with Clifton's I returned them a week ago

I have heard so many great things, but unfortunately these shoes are not for me. After about 4 hours, my entire foot aches. I have them in a 9 wide. If I were to go any bigger, they would be too big . Shoe feels snug in the center of the foot

Testing out the Bondi 8 that I recently purchased and still have some time before I return the sneakers. They're exacerbating my plantar fasciitis and hurting more after I wear the Bondi 8. As much as I like the cushioning and color, it's highly likely that I will return the sneaker. There's no arch support for my feet. Could be the shaping of my feet but they hurt. As a two time cancer survivor, I'm remediating all the pains and aches from my treatments and this is not the added in pain that I need. Looking to try another brand for support.

I was so disappointed that these shoes are cut so wide they literally fell of my feet. Reg width was purchased.

Pretty shoe but all Hoka shoes for lifestyle are toooo tall with padding.

I'm hesitant to buy a pair of Bondi 8. My prior pair was comfortable and I loved them, until the tread at the front part of the shoe came unglued on both the right and left shoe. It became a tripping hazard, unfortunately and they were no long useable. For a pair of shoes that cost as much as Hokas do, I'd expect better.

I really wanted to love these. I previously had the Arahi 6 and literally wore them till they had nothing left to give. After doing the shoe quiz, I landed on these. I am a medical worker and on my feet all day so comfort is very important to me. Within minutes of putting these on in my living room, I could tell instantly that these were not going to cut it. For some reason there is a plastic piece or something firm of that on the inner arch of the foot that immediately starts to apply pressure to my foot. Within 30 mins of just walking around my house I had to take them off. I tried for a few more days hoping my mind would change, but sadly it did not.

I wore these shoes for 2 16 hour shifts. They did not get wet or anything. The bottom of the shoe is literally falling off of the shoe! This is my first pair of Hokas and after this experience and the price I'm not sure I would buy another pair.

I waited what seemed like a really long time for my order. When I finally reached out, your customer service representative, Elizabeth, said that so much time had passed that they would have to issue a refund. However, if I do receive the item, then please contact us to pay for the item. Elizabeth was very nice and helpful. That is the only reason it is a two-star rating and not one-star.

They look and feel like clown shoes. Wide band around the outside make them seem huge. Wish I'd chosen a different style and color

I have been buying Hokas for more than 10 years and love the comfort of the Bondi. I wish Hoka would make them like they used to 10 years ago - The materials are much cheaper today and they wear out twice as fast. I have a ild pair from 5 years ago that is in better condition than a pair I bought last year. Come on Hoka. Have some self respect and improve your quality!

This style really feels and looks like clown shoes. Wish I'd bought a different style. Comfortable but not all they are hyped to be

These are listed as a running shoe but I found them very uncomfortable. They felt like they had zero arch support, and are made for skinny feet only. If you are on the market for a cushiony and airy running shoe that feels firm but also feels like walking on a cloud this is not it. Returned them and purchased asic gel nimbus shoes instead, much better.

Was advertised as "Plush" insole hard as a rock.

Too small. Ben that size for 10 years. Never a problem. This pair was too small by 1/2 size. Bondi 8

I'm not sure what they changed the shoe style but it's horrible. I'm going to be sending these back 2 pair in the last 2 months. Very poorly made and uncomfortable. I don't even get to wear them and try them I can tell the min I put them on.

I ordered a 9 1/2 Wide. The shoes I received were extremely small. They could not have been correctly labeled. I checked with a local retail store that carries Hoka and they advised that Hoka's usually run true to size.

They weren't as comfortable as NB Fresh foam. I returned them.

I've been wearing the Bondi for a long time. The bondi 8 in a wide is TIGHT. I exchanged for a half size bigger, hoping the extra length would help. Nope. Why did you change this shoe? Very disappointed.

Not enough support for my high arches.

Disappointed. Even though the shoe insert has been raised on the inside of the shoe to help not feel where the frame and the material meet, which causes terrible pressure to that area of your foot, there is still pain. The insole is a bit sharp at its edge and the shoe frame just causes too much painful pressure to the inside of the arch area of your foot. I literally had brite red marks half way between my big toe and heal by the time I took my Bondi's off. SO SAD!!! I want to mention that my feet are normal width. They are not wide at all. The Bondi's I bought were gorgeous in color. The size was good with good toe room.
