Everything about the shoe was good - EXCEPT the color. What they showed on the website was NOT what I received. They put the wrong image to the item, and as far as I can tell, it's not available in that color scheme. I have returned them and looking for some other style with a large box toe for walking, that's not as loud.

I received these shoes and they have clearly been worn and not just a try on. They were filthy on the white sole and bottom. I’m very disappointed bc this was a Christmas gift and now I will have to reorder and this time I will just order from HOKA

it came dirty and not packed. Hard to imagine how a pair of shoes can be sent to customer in such a state.

Fit felt pretty good, however for wearing it on concrete for a total of 20 hours, my back, feet, ankles, knees, and legs hurt more than ever. I suffered with sever back spasms and had to discontinue using these shoes. I was very disappointed considering the price I paid and the reviews I saw on line that most podiatrists recommend ded them.

I Loved the Bondi One One sizes 5 and 6. I learned to love the size 7. The changes in size 8 are unacceptable. It simply is not the same shoe. The toe box seems the same, but the outer sole swoops down making one look and feel like a platypus. Ditto with the heel - the hell box remains the same but the outer sole swoops a good inch past the heel. Everything feels off balance.

I have been purchasing Bondi 7 for years but they have been discontinued. Bondi 8 doesn't even come close. Not sure I will continue buying HOKA. Why was Bondi 7 discontinued?

this new style of Bondi is too wide. I have bought this style for years and was very satisfied. I tried to run with the new ones, and constantly tripped over the wide soles. I sent them back to your company for a different style.

These were ridiculous - the heel portion of the sole stuck out so far that they end up looking like clown shoes. Fit was fine - just looked so silly and ungainly that I gave mine away after trying them on. Later I saw a pair on another woman my age (60's) and they looked as outrageous on her. Bondi 7 was a perfect, supportive, cushioned shoe for someone who walks daily. Bondi 8 - not so much.

I’ve been wearing these for years - this 8 model is awful. My feet hurt and they run smaller & narrow. So disappointed in the change- the 7 was amazing

As usual, Zappos provides the absolute best shopping experience, but Hoka, why oh why have you ruined the Bondi?! Bondi 6 was the most perfect shoe, then Bondi 7 was still good even though you added cushioning. Now by expanding the width of the soles on the Bondi 8, you feel like you're wearing clown shoes! In addition to looking ridiculous, they feel very clunky now. That's a hard pass for me.

I am not impressed at all, I purchased the Hoka Bondi in 2019, it is time for a new pair. The shoe was light, bouncy and supportive, I could propel when walking/running. I loved the original Bondi. I don't know what the manufacturer changed but I do not like these Bondi 8. they are ;ight but not and airy or bouncy and actually hurt my feet and make me feel as though I am standing on a platform. Please go back to the original shoe design.

The Bondi 8 is much different than the Bindi 7. I love my Bondi 7 pair but the 8 has a much narrower fit. Gave me blisters the first time I walked in them. I have two other pairs of Hoka’s and there was no break in period needed. There was no need to change the entire fit of a shoe that so many people loved. I am returning these shoes.

Bondi do not come close to the Bondi 7. Please bring back the Bondi 7. They are literally the only sneaker I can wear. So disappointed In the lack of cushioning in the Bondi 8. Arch support is exaggerated and uncomfortable.

all of the negative reviews about this shoe are right. because of those reviews I bought a pair or Bondi 7 and 8 and am returning the 8. the toe box on the 8 is narrower than the 7 and the style is very clown like and the new shape does not make them more comfortable or stable. the updates to the Bondi 8 will make me look for a new shoe once my 7's are worn out
