The shoes are far less soft and padded than the Bondi 7. Also, the arch support was hard and rubbed against my foot. I could tell I would have a blister on the bottom of my foot if I continued wearing them.

A big company like hoka shouldn't be making this simple mistake. I received wrong size and wrong color shoes. I work on a cruise ship and it's not as easy to return than if you're land based.
I shop online a lot because of my job and I never had this problem before.
I'm very disappointed. I will review the shoes once I get the right one!

I have had 2 different versions of earlier Bondis and I really liked them. They were known for their larger toe basket and that's what I liked the most. The Bondi 8 however, even the wide size come very narrow now and it provided me with a very uncomfortable run.

I paid an extremely a lot of money on a limited income for these Bondi shoes. Im having plantar fasciitis (feet hurt as it is). I bought the shoe that had the highest rating and one brand my dr recommended from dr. They do not feel like they are wide width at all. They are killing the side of both my feet. I am disappointed in them and going to have to talk to my Dr to recommend a different brand.

I wear 7W in 95% of athletic shoes. These were WAY too narrow.

I’ve worn Hoka Bondi for years. I’ve walked hundreds of miles in them and reordered with confidence when I’ve worn them to a shadow of themselves. My pinky toe on each foot was getting sore, so I ordered a wide this time. THE SHOES WERE NO WIDER! What? Goodbye Hoka!

Literally the arch was in the middle of my foot. Super disappointing from Hoka as I have been a loyal customer for years.

This is my Fourth pair of Hoka. They have always been great, but this pair is very disappointing. My feet actually ached after wearing them for a walk (I've never had a sport shoe cause this, let alone a Hoka brand) and my arch is one foot kept getting cramps (never experienced this in any type of shoe). Wondering if they are knock-offs or just a flawed pair. I will go back to in-store purchases for Hoka.

I am retired and I enjoy walking and after reading that these were cushy and comfortable I thought I would give them a try.
Well they are not as comfortable as my Clifton 8 & 9's that I have.
I get a wide but these feel tight and the bottom of my foot feels like it's not cushioned at all.

The front design of the shoe was changed and no longer fit me without causing pain. The new version has a higher straight piece above the laces which caused pain.

They are ugly on because they are so big looking. Like clod hoppers. I got a blister on my little toe and had to take the insoles out. I limped around. In the house they felt fine. But outside, after a half hour my feet hurt. I bought them for orthopedic purposes, but my older Naturalizers feel better.

These fit my foot but the sole is ridiculously wide! I had to return. They look like clown shoes.

These shoes were previously worn, returned and not cleaned very well. I'm surprised and disappointed. There are scuff marks on the shoe itself and the soles are dirty.

Not happy with the fit or color I ordered black /white color and honestly it looks more Navy/white wore one time to work and I was called out on my color of shoes so because I wore them once I'm unable to return them . Needless to say i upset but I will say they are a nice shoe for being on your feet 8 hours a day .

I always wear size 9.5 in Hokas. I'm returning these because I got a nice HOka box labeled size 9.5, but the Hoka shoes inside were size 8.5. Not exactly a review but the only place I can find to share this info.

Ordered a bondi 8 fall of 2023. . Fantastic cushioning and was wonderful as I was recovering from knee surgery.
Ordered another bondi 8 in white and it's not the same shoe. Much firmer, maybe more stability vs cushion? Not sure but Tim sending them back for refund.
I wear an 8wide in most shoes but Hokas I have to go up a size to 8.5 wide.

I bought my first Hoka sneakers about 2 years ago. Fit & comfort perfect. Ever since every Hoka I have tried on has been so uncomfortable. Actually get pain in legs and had to return. It is very difficult to review footwear as everyone's feet are different. But I have given up on Hoka

The sneakers were so big and the blue ones were too small! And After pay is awful. They don't have a person anymore so you're out of luck.

I brought it on my International trip, I used it for two days and feels like I am giant footed and unbalanced. So I didn't use it any more. I need to return it and would like to get refund. I will be back in town on May 1 st. Wednesday.

I did not like the fit of this shoe. The sole seemed so wide and there was little arch support.
