I've been a ride-or-die fan of Hokas for a couple years now, as they've been the only shoes I can wear and still be able to function without severe foot pain at the end of the
day (I have plantar fasciitis from onset obesity). I also work in healthcare and am often on my feet for 12 hours, so this brand's shoes are a necessity for me. The Bondi 7's
and SR's both served me well; I've basically worn my Bondi 7's into the ground at this point and felt like it was time for an upgrade, so I bought some Bondi 8's in the colorway

I've always Hated wearing shoes if wasn't wearing heels then would wear nothing or flip flops but I had found pair of Nike vapor max that I liked alot went though 2 pair in 8
months bc my toe would start a hole on top shoes from walking and jogging so much at gym and home was only time using them and yes they was nice pair of shoes and was
comfy but they don't hold up to do jogging and walking everyday so I was on a hunt I went over a lot of reviews for this brand bc I saw so many people with them but I wasn't a
fan of the look they was big and chucky so one day I was let ohhh well I need a pair of shoes that are comfy and will last I had no clue what pair size to order on li... Show more

I was super excited about this colorway because it's unique and also right up my alley. Cushioning and responsiveness is great, but I'm so heartbroken over the colorway. The upper white mesh body, specifically at the toe, has already scuffed and greyed/blackened - and all I've done is walk the floors in hospitals. I haven't walked into any mud, dirt, spills, nothing! I've made minimal contact with anything but oxygen - so, why is the upper mesh already blackening and greying after only a day or two of wear? I tried cleaning them per care instructions provided by the website, nothing helped - only made things worse. I've only had these shoes for a week at best, and I'm already having to return/exchange them for a different colorway in hopes I don't have the same results like I did with this colorway. I'm so disappointed and heartbroken. My Bondi 7's in all white never scuffed and got dingy this badly and this quickly. Please take this feedback seriously; the colorway was everything I could ever want and more, but how is it functional if it's just gonna get dirty in a minimum of a day after LIGHT WEAR, and not improve with cleaning?...

Tried a pair on and had to get a 6 in half I told myself ok buy them reviews are good try them out for week if not the shoes needed return themBut it's been 14 days using them everyday going to the gym and I swear it's like walking on a cloud and and Chucky part that thick on shoes hasn't been a problem at all lol it's almost like it gives me a boost off 😅 I LOVE THEM I swear I just made 38 and these are the best comfy shoes I've EVER put on my feetBelieve it or not my almost 11 year old daughter was like mom they not thar cute when I got home one day from the gym and I was like Aaliyah I promise they feel soooo food bc she wears same size as I do I sat down and was like here try them on so she walked around for about 15 minutes and was like you win I want me a pair 🤣My only complaint is for the ones I got they are comfy I RECOMMEND THEM Bondi 8I think they should come out with more choices of colors or more like one color shoes instead of many colors on one set shoesBut I settle for Bondi 8 brown sand like color that pretty much would go with any color clothes I wear to the gymNot sure about water proof yet.. I will say feet don't sweat in themGREAT COMFY SHOES I'M IN LOVE WITH THEM... Show more

I also always purchase them half a size larger so that I have plenty of toe room. That preference comes from years of wearing Birkenstocks and letting my feet spread out more. The fit seems the same from that aspect.For some reason on this new model they flared out the rubber bottoms in the front so that they look like clown shoes. The wide fit in the shoe itself is exactly the same just for some reason they wanted to change the streamlined look of the previous model and widen the appearance of the rubber underneath the cloth. I really wish they gave you an option of including pictures with the review so I could put my 7's beside my new 8's and you could see what I'm talking about, it's extremely obvious when they're side-by-side.They also shortened the length of the shoelaces by several inches. I lace mine all the way back to the last hole and there's barely enough left over to tie it tight when I put it on. It's not like the shoelaces come in colors that make it easily available to match in a longer length if I wanted to replace them. Maybe Hoka offers that option and I should look into it. I shouldn't have to spend more money for shoelaces that fit though.Because of these two cosmetic issues I'm not sure I would buy another pair of the Bondi 8. I'll wait until the next version comes out, hoping that they'll go back to the more streamlined style and shoelace length of the 7's.... Show more

Life changer experience in the best way. I wore them indoors was heaven , then finally took them outside on trail for brisk 2 mile walk. Although I live in pain and will be having some less invasive procedures (I already have lumbar/sacral disc replacements that 20 yrs old) for 1st time walking even with good posture "didn't worsen my daily pain "and the comfort level was 10! Needless to say immediately wanted to stock up and purchase in event the line changes. The Bondi I have has numbers/letters on the upper side of the sole. I reordered the black with white sole. Big NO! Toe bed narrower and much less cushion, so reordered another again bad fit. All 3 pair have same manufacturers numbers on the upper side sole. I did call customer service, wonderful helpful person, to discuss prior to repurchasing hoping the 1st black was fluke. NOPE uncomfortable. Not tried any of the seasonal and hoping reviewers start comment which shoe and COLOR they purchase to help this company sort out these continued discrepancies. My whole life I loved being on my feet , chose careers or jobs to pay for the schooling ..now no longer a RN or able to work being able to walk comfortably is life changing for me and all these folks commenting...

I am so disappointed in my purchase
7 March 2024
I've been wearing Hokas since 2015. I have run and walked thousands of miles in them and have purchased and loved dozens of pairs. So when I recently ordered two pairs of the Bondi 8, I had no reason to think they would be anything other than perfect. But the quality and workmanship of both pairs deviate in critical respects from every other pair of Hokas I've ever purchased. First, neither has the same cushioning of any of my prior pairs. This is true even though all of my old pairs have many miles on them. Second, the Bondi 8's are not as balanced and instead, force my foot into a pronated position. This is unlike any of my other pairs. Third, both pairs hit my ankle bone higher than previous iterations and are stiffer, so that is uncomfortable.

This is unlike any of my other pairs. Third, both pairs hit my ankle bone higher than previous iterations and are stiffer, so that is uncomfortable. Fourth, the insoles in one of the two pairs are stiff and seem to curve inward so that they actually cut into my feet. In short, the quality and workmanship are lacking, and I can't tell you how disappointed I am because Hokas have been a mainstay of my life 9 years. I am at a loss as to what I will be able to replace them with. If the problem had been with just one of the two pairs, I would think the lesser quality was an anomaly. But both pairs are flawed and uncomfortable compared to all my other pairs of Hokas. With increasing popularity, is your company cutting corners? Cutting back on quality control? Switching out for less expensive materials? I haven't yet returned them because frankly, doing so takes time and I've been too busy and disappointed to mess with it. But I intend to return both pairs even though what I want more than anything are quality Hokas like those I've worn for almost a decade.... Show more

It takes getting used to but once I tried them on longer, the more I love Bondi 8. The soles are bulky but they provide so much support around my ankles, I have neutral or flat feet so I need all the arch support and I've had recovered from Plantar Fasciitis. I usually get a size 6.5 but I got a regular 7. It's perfectly with more space but I will get more stability if I tighten the laces all the way. I got another one but Gaviota size 7 WIDE just to try them out, it was great fitting but the toe box was just too much space that I gave it my younger sister and she loves it, her feet are bigger. Then I ordered Clifton 9 size 6.5 regular, it was not giving me a stable arch support so I exchanged that to another Gaviota 6.5.

Out of all the three that I tried, my favorite is the Gaviota but hopefully the regular 6.5 will be a better fit. The Cliffton 9 collapses inward around the heel area, like concaving my ankles inwards, NOT good. I tried them on as soon as they arrived, both pairs are bending my ankles inwards. I don't recommend Cliffton 9. I don't know if I got a defective pair but no if my ankles are bending inwards, that's going to injure me. Again, my feet are neutral or flat with recovering plantar fasciitis. I've been on PT for 2 years. Yes, I recommend Gaviota 5, and then Bondi 8 but NOT Cliffton 9, like I said, zero arch support....

Impressed after just one run
8 September 2024
I bought these shoes because my brother had suggested them after hearing about issues I was having with my left hip. I made the mistake of thinking more cushion was not for me. I owned a pair of Nike Zoomx foam sneakers that were great, but I often found myself losing my balance at times or my ankles giving out. I do not have strong ankles and thought, less cushion is better because I needed less bounce and more stability. I bought a different pair of shoes with not much cushion and since then I have had terrible left hip pain from running. My brother suggested Hoka and I tried on a couple of different kinds before deciding on the Bondi 8. I hadn't run in 2 full weeks. After purchasing these shoes I ran 3 miles, at a relaxed pace. It was the first time in months I ... MoreI bought these shoes because my brother had suggested them after hearing about issues I was having with my left hip.

It was the first time in months I had been able to run without pain or discomfort. I didn't need less cushion I needed different cushion and stability. The other thing I didn't notice until owning these is that I need more plush on top of the shoe because I have rather small bony feet and the top of my foot would ached from tying my shoes tight. I can wear these shoes all day even after a run and still be very comfortable. Honestly, my hip pain would be excruciating after a short run, it made even turning in my sleep difficult. I expected even with the Bondi 8 to experience some hip pain/tightness. I was/am still amazed... no pain and I felt and feel great.... Show more

I Really Wanted To Love This Shoe
26 April 2024
I'm rating this shoe a 2 because of the appearance; the colors are very flattering. But while these Hoka Bondi 8 APPEARED very comfortable, they are making my feet hurt something wicked! The pain in my heals after walking 4 to 5 miles daily is sometimes excruciating. As a RN, I tried my first pair of Hoka, which was the Clifton, at the recommendation of my peers and I absolutely loved them! I wanted a little more cushion, so several of my peers recommended the Hoka Bondi 8. I I purchased two pair before actually wearing them because I just knew that they would be everything that I wanted and more.

I wanted to give them a fair chance, but I think that a month is fair enough. Today, I ordered a pair of Brooks Glycerin to replace this pair of Hoka Bondi 8, and I guess the other pair of Bondi 8 is a total loss. I really should have known better. I walked around Disney World one day in the other Hoka Bondi 8 in January 2024, and the fatigue was unreal! I may try the Clifton again, but at a much later date due to this experience with not one, but two pair of Bondi 8.... Show more

Prone to rolling my ankles - love these
25 January 2024
I'm a thirty-something that normally wear orthotics and have gone to PT to learn to walk in a way that's less likely to make me fall, among many other things relating to hyper mobility. I did tons of research for stability and arch support and these came up highly rated so I clicked buy without trying them on. I'm so glad I did!! As a software engineer that does WFH, I had issues getting more than 3k steps in when I wasn't specifically training for something. I purchased a walking pad for my desk which arrived early December and only wear these shoes on it (and never take them outside). I've put > 75 miles on them and when I listen to my body nothing hurts. I did ramp up a little quickly at first but that was my bad.

I wear these around the house when I know I'll be cleaning and walking significantly too. Prior to this I stuck mainly to high tops because an ER doc suggested it after a particularly bad fall, but I'm definitely getting an outdoor pair soon. I'm just waiting for more shifting sand colors or similar.I love the cushion for walking (but for running I could see how it could feel like trudging through a beach). I love how there's so little chance of me landing wrong. When I trained for triathlons I could ramp up my mileage but toward the end of long runs I'd be most likely to lack focus on my form and twist my ankle, which effectively ended a season or two. I'll definitely look at hoka stability shoes for when I get back into running... Show more

[Rewarded Review] Those Are Hideous

When I first saw a coworker wearing a pair 2 years ago I thought those are the ugliest shoes I’ve ever laid eyes on. The heels are too thick and almost reminds me of those specially made shoes for uneven lower limb. We got to talking and she expressed how comfortable they are, very pricey but comfortable. I thought about it, went online but I couldn’t bring myself to put a pair in the basket. I work in healthcare so I’m on my feet all day except for when I’m sitting down to grab a bite.

I thought about it, went online but I couldn’t bring myself to put a pair in the basket. I work in healthcare so I’m on my feet all day except for when I’m sitting down to grab a bite. A reputable uniform establishment visit my work place several times throughout the year so I don’t venture too far for work attire. With that being said I have tried the latest, the best and most worn footwear from (Brooks to Snoop Do double G don’t know if I am allowed to mention names but it’s facts). The reputable thing about this establishment is their return policy, and with people bragging on names, I’ve bought worn even tried replacing the insoles but ended up returning them for lack of everything they advertised. I enjoyed walking and this I wasn’t able to do and with the ongoing pain and discomfort in my feet, knees, and bottom of my feet at the end of my workday, I was in need of a miracle. I had inquired about HOKA but they told me it is a conflict for them to sell because they sell a certain previously mentioned shoes. So I told myself if HOKA can’t come to me I will go and find HOKA. The thing is I’ve been disappointed so many times, invested so much money in footwear I refused to waste another dollar and I refuse to purchase online. I want to walk into a physical building try on and walk around for a good 10 minutes in the next pair on sneakers I intend to purchase. I visited a couple of stores just to be told we don’t carry those, so the last one who told me that I asked “so who does?” They told me Dick’s so off I went, I slipped my feet in the first pair and I immediately felt like I was floating around in the store. Breast cancer awareness month was approaching so I secured a pink pair, then I tried another pair for weekend wear and that one felt like I was walking on clouds. My nine year was with me and she wanted a pair unbeknownst to me they have them for kids. We literally walked out with 3 pairs of HOKA that day, When I said literally the last pair I tried I never took it off my feet. I now have 4 pairs of HOKA and I must say these are the best investment I’ve ever made.Every time some ask me about my HOKA I tell them the truth, 2 years ago I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing a pair but these shoes have turned my world upside down . They have transformed my life and my lifestyle I even have a pair for church so my praise and worship is not hindered.... Show more
