Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

Was looking forward to getting a new pair of Bondi's only to be disappointed with the fit. The shoes fit completely different than my previous pair. Got the shoe in wide and the shoe pinched both feet at the arch and on the opposite side. The rubber footbed was hard and so narrow. So disappointing.Shoes returned and went with another brand.

I ordered these shoes for my daughter for Christmas and even though they were the right size. They didn't fit at all .

I bought the Bondi 8 wide because I have wide flat feet. I was told these were the most supportive and comfortable to wear while running and doing errands. I feel super uncomfortable in them because the inner of my souls of my feet feel the edges of the shoe's angle when I walk. Each step I feel the angle of the shoe push against The inner soul of my foot . It's a shame as these are very expensive shoes . I will be returning , I am very disappointed.

This product did not meet my needs

I bought these shoes 6 months ago and they're already falling apart. I bought the blue ones with the orange grip parts and the orange parts are already starting to peel off. I only wear these for work. For reference I am a healthcare worker in a clinic so I only do a moderate amount of walking, less than about 2,000 steps a day. I used to buy the Bondi 7s which never did this. In the Bondi 7s I was working in a hospital where I did A LOT of walking, and I also worked out in them and the Bondi 7s held up beautifully, but not these. Wish they would bring back the Bondi 7s.

I have bought Hokas before, and they were fine, but did not hold up and got holes fast, I thought I would try again and what a complete waste of over $170! The sizing is off and the 8.5 ran way bigger than my other pair. I still gave them a try and now I can't return, but they hurt both my ankles and my knees, soooo disappointed.

After the Lahaina fires I had to find a new job and I had heard so much about your shoes. I have broken my leg twice and they seemed like the answer to my dreams. Until I slipped on a pool of water. I checked, and, stupid me, I spent all this money for the perfect shoes for my restaurant job only to find out I can't use them. They are very slippery in this case. I wonder if there is any way I can exchange for slip resistant even though I have worn them? I'm heartbroken because I thought I had paid extra for the best shoes but didn't realize there was a "slip resistant" option. I thought they were all slip resistant! Ugh. So sorry but if there is a chance you can help me replace these shoes with restaurant grade slip resistant I would forever be in you debt.

Very uncomfortable

I'm a teacher and on my feet most of the day. This shoe sole is great being high off the ground. I am 5'6" and weigh 150. For me with flat feet, this style of HOKA wasn't right. I don't get the comfort of the shoe wrapping my foot with stability without it bothering my instep, which seems to put pressure towards my ankle.

I have been a loyal Bondi wearer and loyal fan of Hoka, however, the latest Bondi change is drastic! The Bondi 8 is so painful on the outside of my foot and digs into my arches. I never ever experienced this with the Bondi 6 or Bondi 7's!!! Also, the Bondi 8's toe box is too wide!!! Wider than the Bondi 6 and Bondi 7's. My feet are now swimming around in this new design causing pain that I never experienced with Bondi's before! Don't like the change to the tongue either. Wish I could order more of the Bondi 7's! Please bring back the Bondi 7's! Very, very disappointed.

I am standing 8 hours during my job. I was thinking buying this hoka will help me but not at all my feet hurts more than before. It is not worth the money at all.

I purchased a pair of these shoes and I feel like I'm going to fall over from side to side. No stability in this shoe. Other problem is the one shoe has this constant squeak in it (sooooo annoying)! I've only worn these like 3 times because of it. Emailed the company and tried to call but no one would get back to me whatsoever. I do recommend the Bondi SR if you are on your feet all day SUPER AWESOME SHOE!! Just only sad they only come in 2 colors. But a wasted chunk of cash on the Bondi 8s that will never see my feet again and it is sad that the company at least couldn't return an email or a phone call.

The Bondi 8 are terrible for the Neuropathy and pain on my legs and feet they might last forever, but they are not at all flexible and after about 4 hours, I feel like I am wearing weights on my ankles and the shoes are made of concrete. Please advise how I can return. I've only worn them maybe 3 times.

I bought these shoes at the recommendation of my daughter. The shoes initially were very cushioned and comfortable. But walking in them one time for a short period my feet hurt. There isn't enough support for my older feet.

Sizing is off on this style for me. Not a fan of this style

SHoe was super uncomfortable to the arch, had to return it.

Super big, super uncomfortable

These Bondi 8 are not like my prior pair. These are firm and rigid. Uncomfortable from the beginning.

I ordered a wide sneaker but they were way too tight.

I have a terrible time finding shoes in stores because I wear a women's 11 wide. I ordered these online because I loved the previous Bondi model. When I got them, one shoe had weird stitching on the gusset that rubbed against my arch and drove me so crazy that I couldn't stand it. I had to return them.

I gave it a chance for 2 months thinking maybe it just needed breaking in but by the end of every 12hour shift my feet hurts more than my back. Like someone took a hammer and whacked it on different angles. So dissappointed

I ordered white and they came, they're labeled white, but they are in fact very pale blue or lilac. Debating returning as I wanted white shoes :(
