Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

The shoes have very little give and they hurt my feet when I walk. They are not comfortable and I regret the purchase. I am very disappointed in these shoes. .

They fit different and not as much cushion as the bondi 7 had

These shoes hurt, some of my friends told me they where comfortable. I found my feet hurting all day.these are not for me

I returned the Bondi shoes because they were a little tight and I did not care for the wide sole. I agree with some of the other comments that stated they looked like clown shoes. I did love the colors though.

I bought these for a second time but this time it was by mistake. I saw the 30.00 saving and jumped on it. Once I received them I realized what I did. So I will put duct tape on the toe part inside the shoe. I needed a new pair of shoes in a bad way so I just kept them. When I bought the other ones it was to late to leave a review or I didn't know how to. But I'm assuming that's why they were 30.00 cheaper. I am a Hoka girl all day long, thats all I wear to work. I'm a nurse and on my feet for 12 - 14 hours a day. So I need a good shoe and the Bondi 8 are the best shoes ever except for this glitch in these ones.

I was extremely disappointed based on all the amazing reviews. These shoes definitely run small, but as far as support and comfort they are severely lacking. I have wide feet and have had terrible trouble finding a good shoe. My search for a pair of comfortable shoes continues. :(

I bought these due to them coming up when searching for wide feet support. I have worn them 3 -4 times exclusively at the gym walking on a threadmill not even running. The color is fading and the shoe is falling apart. I have paid less for shoes that lasted a year. I would not recommend

Wore shoes since delivery in house. Shoes especially the left is very squeaky & make sound when walking especially in the left heel area. Very annoying! Want to return & choose different style. Thank you.

I wore the shoe around the house and it was hurting my foot. I need arch support but this wasn't helping.

I heard so much hype about these shoes, I thought I would give them a try. I regret going with these versus my usual New Balance shoes. The shoes are supposedly Neutral but they feel rigid and more for Stability. The heel cup is way too big and my heel slides around so much that my socks get pulled down. It also seems like my foot slides forward in the shoe due to poor fit. The back edge of the sole has an odd construction that seems like it was cut short or undercut from the foot. This is noticeable when walking because I frequently feel like I'm falling backwards or rocking. I know people rave about the padding but it's a bit much for me. I don't mind some but these are too squishy. It is overkill and causes my feet to hurt, like walking in deep sand. Other than the colors, there is nothing about these shoes that are a positive in my experience.

Beautiful shoe! Loved the color! I was so looking forward to receiving my new hokas. I've worn them for years. They really help with foot pain. On receipt of these new Bondi's, I immediately put them on. I've been struggling with some plantar fasciitis and was anxious to feel better. I first noticed that there was not any arch support in these new shoes. I wore them for about an hour and had to take them off because the shoes caused a flair up in foot pain. I boxed them up and shipped them back. Very disappointed!

Maybe these are made for flat footed people. No arch support and make the balls of my feet ache after wearing these. Wish I could return but I already wore them out of the house. Such a waste. Also look like clown shoes.

These shoes squeek when running on the treadmill. It's very annoying.

And my toe touch the ceiling very uncomfortable sadly had to return. Maybe I'm a size 8 wide but still I'm usually size 8 or 7.5 wide. I tried the size 8 and it was narrow felt snug.

I was expecting these shoes to be the most comfortable shoes to work in being how expensive they are and that they are supposed to be the perfect shoe for me according to the quiz I took on the website. These shoes turned out to be one of the most uncomfortable pair of shoes I own. They feel bulky to walk in. I feel like I'm going to trip in them. Also when standing long periods of time in them for work (I am a Nurse) my feet end up in sheer pain to the point of me wanting to take them off. I can barely make it through my 12 hour shift. I find myself bouncing from one foot to the other just to relieve the pain. I see lots of other nurses wearing the Bondi 8 with no problem but they are not for me. It was a total waste of money in my opinion.

Not comfortable at all

I purchased this particular style of HOKA because it was supposed to be best for plantar fasciitis and low back pain. I work 12 hour shifts and am in desperate need of a good shoe. The shoe was beautiful but my pain got worse after working one shift. I'm not saying this is a bad shoe for pain issues, I'm just saying that this brand/style didn't work for me and my issues.

The shoes are very heavy I got for planter facitis so they aren't comfortable at all.

When i received the shoes i thought it would be like walking on marshmallows instead the shoes were painful so rigid. Not for me !
