I wore these a few times and i absolutely hate how they feel. They make my hips hurt and I don't feel steady in them. Unfortunately, since I wore them out I can't return them. I have no idea what all the hype is about. I would not recommend these for anyone with a med/wide foot or if you have a high instep. I much prefer my adidas and just ordered a pair of On Cloud runners to see how they stack up.
I'd also recommend:
adidas, asics

the insoles have a very sharp; edge. I could not even get to the driveway; felt like a a sharp material pressing into the inside edge of my feet. The fit seemed okay, I just couldn't stand on them.

Unfortunately, the shoes were incredibly stiff and I could not run in them the way I normally run. I am approaching my fourth marathon and these shoes were very painful to use. It was not a good fit for my feet and my running style.

Poor quality control. The materials are being shorted. HOKA shoes used to be the most comfortable roomy shoe on the market. Pride goes before the fall.

This is my second pair of Bondi 8s and I have to say the wuality has gone down hill. My previous pair lasted 1.5years without falling apart. This pair I have had only a month and the hook on the heel has frayed and is a poofy mess. How embarrassing!
Disappointed,

Originally was fitted for a wide, thought the girl was crazy because I've never had a wide shoe, so I bought the regular. Well they bothered my feet so I got the wide. Wore them once and I have blisters on my arches. I was very disappointed as I have several friends that wear them and love them.

I was so excited to buy these for myself. I am single mother of 3 kiddos and these are defiantly the most expensive pair of shoes I have ever bought. I walk and stand on concrete for 80 hours a week so I thought I could help my leg feet and back pain. The shoes looked and felt great in my hands but noticed the first day that I felt like my foot was getting squeezed which feels horrible. I contacted customer service who sent me a return label for USPS. I printed that and gave to our business post man . This was last month. I called yesterday to be told "Sorry I don't see the return label so call USPS . They don't have a clue where my shoes are so I guess I'm stuck after spending over $170 on myself for the first time and ending up having no shoes?? I wish someone would ger back to me so I can get my wide's. I want to love these and only wear one brand, but I need to know they will be comfortable after getting the correct size finally. I am definitely stuck and frustrated at the whole situation .

After years of wearing and referring many friends with wide feet to the Bondi. The new width/sizing is too narrow. Even trying a size up does not work. The shoe is Miss sized and does not give people people with wide feet the necessary room and comfort.

The wide width is not wide and hookah now charges over eight dollars to ship a pair of shoes I was unaware of this when I placed my order and noticed it on the invoice. They don't care and won't give me my eight dollars dollars back. Hokka, I've been a loyal fan for two decades, and buy a new pair every year. I'm disappointed.

Bought these based on info online about the firm sole which would help my forefoot injury. They were the most uncomfortable sneaker I have ever tried, felt like a hard piece of something digging into my arch. I have a normal neutral arch, returned them.

It's not a comfortable shoe for me. It is hard to pick up my feet and run forward. I don't like the position that it forces my feet to.

Ordered product on 1 /28 on 2 /10 was told product was being refunded . Product was received on 2/ 15! Emails never coordinated with with actual shipping info. Tracing service was a joke . So disappointed with customer service . Really dropped the ball! Fit of product was weird hoka Bondi feels like I'm walking as if I'm about to slide off shoe . Arahi is a better fit for me. Shoe was ok once finally received!

I've been a loyal Hoka buyer for many years. They wrecked the brand with the new Bondi 8. The shoes have created both knee and foot pain. Buyer beware.

I am very sorry to say these shoes were very uncomfortable. I was so excited about them but was very disappointed. They are not what I imagined . They killed my arches..I couldn't finish my shift!

They are comfortable, but look like clown shoes in my opinion. I will give them to our local Goodwill

These shoes were not it . Tried 2 pairs of this shoe . Something about the sole was off . It felt like your foot was hanging off of it and it hurt my feet so bad .

The new Bondi 8 is nothing like the bondi 7. They say they changed the bottom, but in reality the whole shoe is different. They are way more narrow and the toe box is a lot smaller than the 7. I'm not even sure why they call them Bondi, come up with a new name for the all new shoe. To much money to spend to not get what you expected. They kill my feet, I can't even wear them. This is why I hate online shopping.

These sneakers are so uncomfortable. My feet hurt every single time I waer them. If I wear them to work I have to take another pair of shoes with me because I have to change out of thses shoes at lunch time. They came highly recommanded but for the $$$$ I paid for them they are not worth it. Buy a cheaper brand.

I bought these and a pair of On Cloud Novas as I work in healthcare, 12 hour shifts. I made these Hokas my work shoes bc the other ones are white and I work in GI. There is little no arch support and my feet were KILLING me at the end of the day. It's been 2 weeks and my feet bother me within 3 hours of working. If you have any arch, you'll need inserts. I'm hoping these break in soon bc I really want to like them :/

I'm pregnant and everyone raves about these shoes for pregnancy... They are super uncomfortable and I'm sending them back. I wore them around the house for 2 days hoping they would work. Nope. The arch digs into all the wrong parts of my foot. They're heavy. I don't understand all the rave reviews. I'll stick with Brooks.
