Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 8

I should have sent them back but I was desperate for some new work shoes. They feel a smidgen smaller and more narrow and they dont have the cushion that Bondi 7 had. I work 8 hours on cement and the Bondi 7 was wonerful. Today is my 3rd day wearing these shoes to work and my feet were killing me. I just don't understand why shoe companies have to change a good thing, if it isnt broke, dont fix it! Save your money and find another shoe!!

While the box indicated the size I ordered, the shoes were a a half a size larger.

They are not good at all for walking alot, the balls of my feet were in terrbile pain, tried them for 2 days and returned. Back to my Brooks which are perfect for working on your feet all night.

The Hoka Bondi 7 was so much better than this pair. I am so disappointed and wish I could still return them. Don’t waste your money.

I was sent 2 left shoes. One was a men's 11 and one was a women's 11.

Has already been mentioned, but these look absolutely ridiculous. I just need a red nose and I'm all set. The Bondi 7 are made better, more durable and just look like a regular running shoe. I have worn Hoka's for multiple years to run in and love the shoe. However, this design is making me consider other brands at this time until Hoka reverts back to a more sleek look.

Too wide for a narrow foot.

I have tried a lot of Hoka sneakers. The medium widths are so wide. Returned

I don't know what happened to Hoka but their quality has gone down. Felt okay at first but my feet ached after actually wearing them for a walk vs trying them out around my house. This is my 4th pair of Hokas, I used to love them. I have been trying different styles to see if it made a difference. These pinch but also feel wide. They are slippery. My Asics have more cushion. Very disappointed with them, especially considering the price.

These are so uncomfortable. I have the Bondi 7's which are amazing, These did not feel cushioned at all, they feel hard and squeeze your feet across the top of your foot and your toes. I love my 7's and I'm sending these 8's back. I should have listened to the reviews.

The new model Hoka 8 is much wider than Hoka 7 - its actually sloppy across the foot, returning it

The Bondi 8 footbed just hits me in the wrong part of my foot. The last Bondi that fit me perfectly was the Bondi 5. This particular pair of shoes, beyond not fitting me, had clearly been heavily worn before being sent to me. While I appreciate and use the long return policy, I always return very lightly worn, inside only, still look brand new shoes. This pair had clearly seen some miles. Thanks for considering my comment

Much wider than Bondi 7, sloppy across the foot

The sole is too thick around the toebox and digs into the outer part of my feet - really uncomfortable.

I do not like the Bondi 8! They look ugly on my feet, they are too tight in toebox, they have unattractive wings out of the sole, and worst of all, and so upsetting is the lack of Bondi 7 cushioning! This change is heartbreaking! I love my Bondi 7 and they are no where to be found in my size! This is devastating if you are a runner with a bad back, or even a walker or stander! The Bondi 7 was fantastic! The Bondi 8 is a mistake!

Too wide

I received these shoes and they have clearly been worn more than just a try on. The soles are dirty and damaged, the laces were still tied as if they came straight off of someone’s feet. The did not come in a hoka shoe box. They came in a plain unmarked cardboard box which then came in an Amazon box. I paid brand new shoe price for a clearly used shoe.

I have always worn bondi. The 8s are tight on heels and seem to be higher in the back. They are not comfortable. Very disappointed. My 7s fit great but I’m on my feet all day and need new pair.

The toe box is way too small. So disappointing that they re-designed by favorite Bondi shoes.

big change from the Bondi 7, the toe box is narrower and my normal size was too small. This one was narrower and felt too big and not as comfortable as the Bondi 7

WHEN will I ever get my shoes? I ordered them on CIBER MONDAY!

These did not fit me right. I loved my old pair of Hoka's, but for some reason these felt very different. They were very narrow near the arch of my foot and then got really wide near the toes. Very uncomfortable overall and returned.

I bought these thinking they’d be super comfortable and shock absorbent and was willing to deal with how ugly they are. Unfortunately they’re painful to wear and cause my toes to go numb. Horrible.

Couldn't wear with my orthodics in! I have a very narrow foot though with orthodics I ordered a B width and still they rubbed the outside of my toes! Toe box is narrower than it should be. I love Hoka's but not this Bondi 8.

These shoes were comfortable initially but after wearing them around the house, my feet and knees began hurting. I think they are too high/have too much of a sole that it puts my natural gait totally off! I wanted to love them, but they are not for me.
