6D (Wide Women's) not that wide
13 September 2023Keokia P.

originally posted on holabirdsports.com

I couldn't resist getting the Bondi 8 Outer Space Bellweather Blue any longer after hearing so many amazing things about their comfort (which I need) and loving this color combo (but Bondi 8 is a hefty full retail price shoe). I own four beloved pairs of HOKA Clifton 3 in regular 6 (6B) for many years (have held up amazingly for gym and street running, fantastic plantar fasciitis relief, molded insoles) and recently purchased the Clifton 8 on sale in women's wide 6 (6D) after reading reviews about the width being less wide than Clifton 3.

The shoe appears wider than it is because of the flaring out of the outsole. I put them on for an hour inside in the evening, sitting at the computer, medium-thickness EB socks: my bunionettes were angry red and in pain; two weeks prior, they weren't even red and painful wearing 6B heels dancing at wedding. So sad I have to return. (They are out of this size, so one pr will be back in stock in latter Sept.)I have a normal-height arch and neutral stance with maybe very slight supination, though with age (young senior citizen), I notice my feet appreciate better arch support. The orthopedically-correct insoles were great (though not quite as other-worldly heavenly as all the hype made me think but I was used to terrific shoes already). I would've kept them if they were wider in the forefoot. These Bondi 8 shoes look much better than the photo, imho.I saw a couple of unfamiliar retailers offering unusually low prices, which I was wary about. I'm thankful to trusted Hola Bird integrity offering easy free returns if shoes don't fit. I'd buy from them again :)

It requires ME to figure that issue out and for the price it's an easy fix by the company. FIX IT PLEASE. Outside of that I highly recommend these Bondi 8's for everyday wear.

Once again, another "redesign" that completely changes the shoe. I LOVED my previous Bondi's; I work 12 hour shifts and they were the only things for YEARS that I was able to work all day and not complain about my feet or knees hurting at the end of the day. They had a wide enough toe box that I didn't pinch my toes either. These are awful; the supportive arch is gone and the toe box is SO MUCH more narrow (the recommendation from the rep was "to get a wide"; I don't need my whole foot sloshing around in a shoe, I just want room for my TOES, which is why I loved my prior Bondi's).

Bondi 8 squeaky when walking!!
1 June 2023

I have been purchasing and wearing HOKA brand tennis shoes for several years now, following surgery on my big toe. They are normally awesome, tho they seen to break down after a year of wearing. I wear mine every day. This latest style (Bondi 8) has three things I find aggravating. I have to replace the insoles with my podiatrist-recommended Cadence EX+MP insoles on every pair plus now I alsowear small clear silicone heal pads in each shoe, and a small LIFT in my left shoe. I use these apparatus in my older HOKA tennis shoes and they do not squeak like the Bondi 8 does. Also, there are elastic piece sthat hold the tongue down on the Clifton…but there is only ONE elastic piece on the Bondi 8 that pulls the tongue toone side. VERY odd. I have a high arch and with ... MoreI have been purchasing and wearing HOKA brand tennis shoes for several years now, following surgery on my big toe.

I have a high arch and with all the other “apparatus” in my shoes I find it somewhat difficult to slip them on, especially with the elastic there. It is not easy to unlace or lace any of HOKA tennis shoes. They laces do not slide easily through the cut-out holes. These are all issues I wish HOKA would resolve. They are the only shoe I can comfortably wear that are good for my feet, however, the design needs some definite tweaking. For the price especially, these tennis shoes do not really meet a high standard in the details.

GREAT shoe BUT inner shoe quality deteriorated
31 December 2022

I run 1-2 marathons per year (plus other races) and I've worn the Bondi shoe for quite a few years. The Bondi 8 is fantastic for cushion and width. I am 5'1", 127lbs and I wear a 7.5 wide. I've been wearing the current model for a little over 3 months (2.5 months was marathon training at 40-50 miles per week + a few prep-races) and have experienced some unusual issues. First of all, the tongue is inconsistent with staying centered. I have two pairs ... one stays centered on both shoes and the other refuses to stay centered on the right shoe. I've never had this issue before with any running shoe. I've re-laced the laces multiple times and tried to adjust the tongue but nothing keeps it centered. I've decided it's a slight sewing/production abnormality. The second ... MoreI run 1-2 marathons per year (plus other races) and I've worn the Bondi shoe for quite a few years.

I've decided it's a slight sewing/production abnormality. The second issue is the inner heel section is completely torn up after only 3.5 months of running. I keep my old running shoes long after they're retired from training and I could send photos of many Hoka's that don't look as tattered as my current pair. It's a little disappointing for such a pricey shoe. I will keep purchasing because the fit and cushion works well for me but I am disappointed in this decreased quality.

LOVE My Hoka Arahis!
17 January 2023

From the minute I put them on nearly a year ago, I knew I would absolutely LOVE these shoes! I had previously tried several other Hokas styles, and none ever fit quite right and I either ended up returning them or only wearing them occasionally. I am an older, retired woman who has always had very flat feet and wear orthotics in almost all of my shoes, so when I discovered Hoka's Arahi line with the J frame made specifically for people with flat feet or who over-pronate, I knew I just had to try these--and they did not disappoint! Ever since I bought them, these have been my "go to" shoes--in fact, I've bought 3 other pair of Arahis since in different colors--but these are still my favorite! I'm an 8.5 M and they fit perfectly! I wear them for just about anything ... MoreFrom the minute I put them on nearly a year ago, I knew I would absolutely LOVE these shoes!

I'm an 8.5 M and they fit perfectly! I wear them for just about anything and everything--and are the shoes I always wear when I know I will be doing a lot of walking or standing. I generally average walking about 2-3 miles a day--or around 30-40 miles per week, mostly on sidewalks, paved trails, or easy walking paths..and doing everyday tasks such as shopping or sight-seeing: I also wear them in exercise classes such as tai-chi or personal training, but I am not a runner.. I am around 5'2", 150 lbs and am a "very young" 80 years old!PS My son-in-law is also flat-footed and I bought him a pair of Arahis for his birthday. He tells me they are AWESOME and the only shoes he has that don't need orthotics to be amazingly comfortable! (He is in his mid-30's, around 5'10" and wears a men's 10M.)

Long story but worth the read
27 August 2023

5 years ago I had knee surgery and was not recovering as I should have. My ortho mentioned getting some Hokas. Desperate to improve my recovery, I immediately went to my local running shoe shop and purchased my very first Hokas - Bondi 5. That day I hadn't been able to walk into the store, but I was able to walk out in my Bondi 5s. They felt like walking on actual clouds. I had never known shoe comfort to that level ever in my life. Since that day I have shared my story about the miracle of Hokas to anyone who was looking for something more supportive and comfortable shoe than the more popular basic sneakers.

Fast forward to the present, I have been experiencing a lot of knee pain after a hiking injury, and could also now financially afford Hokas again, so I immediately purchased Bondi 8s. I was so excited to experience the same level of comfort and support I did with my Bondi 5s. Well, those happy emotions came crumbling down when I put on the 8s. They did not feel as cloud like as the 5s. I thought, maybe I should wear them around a bit to break them in. Nope. The shoe I depended on to bring my knees comfort has actually increased the pain I experience and has added shin splints to the mix. I am so sad and disappointed. I didn't want to believe recent criticism I've heard about the quality of newer Hokas, but I should have. Somewhere in the last 5 years Hoka has so significantly changed the quality of all their shoes, making them not dependable like they once were. The Bondi 8s are still way more comfortable than the popular brand from Oregon, but not nearly as great as the reputation that made Hoka so popular today.

Not sure if I will buy again
31 January 2023

I have been wearing Hoka One One Bondi since the very beginning. I have owned every version off the Bondi, and I have stocked up on my favorites 6 and 7, unisex suede versions, even some Valors. The spring measurement has decreased 4 in the forefoot, and increased by 3 in the heel. This puts more pressure on the metatarsals/ball of foot. I wear the Bondi because it used to protect the ball of my foot. I wear these shoes because I need them to walk pain free, not because they are pretty. The newest iteration is not as plush. I agree with other reviewers that the shoes can be squeaky at times, and white is never truly white. It is always a very light blue or lavender. The upper of the 8 is very narrow, but if I size up to wide the heel will pop up and down ( slip.)I ... MoreI have been wearing Hoka One One Bondi since the very beginning.

Hoka is getting away from the reason so many of us are loyal to the brand. Good, supportive, highly cushioned shoes, minimal heel to toe drop that alleviates forefoot pressure, plantar fasciitis, arthritis , and makes it possible for those of us with problem feet to be able to get out and walk, run and enjoy life with out pain. And keeps people without foot problems running and walking problem free.

Still Adjusting, but Happy with These Shoes
1 May 2023

Just a few days after receiving the shoes, I fell and injured my knee (the shoes were NOT involved), and I wasn't able to put on any shoe I couldn't simply slide on, so I haven't been able to wear these as much as I would have liked. Still, I'm LOVING the springiness and responsiveness of the shoe. Getting used to the extra width of the sole has been interesting, especially on stairs, but these are very comfortable shoes. I got these in particular for walking on sidewalks and city streets because we moved a few months ago from living in the country, where I walked grassy hills in hiking shoes, and those shoes were just not supporting me the way I needed on the extensive pavement I now find myself in. Enter HOKA.I ordered a wide, and the laces were very tight when I ... MoreJust a few days after receiving the shoes, I fell and injured my knee (the shoes were NOT involved), and I wasn't able to put on any shoe I couldn't simply slide on, so I haven't been able to wear these as much as I would have liked.

Enter HOKA.I ordered a wide, and the laces were very tight when I first got the shoe, so it took a few days of adjustments before I could get the shoe on easily. It still is a bit more snug than I like, but I'm slowly getting there. The elastic that helps hold the tongue in place is handy but also makes it a bit more challenging to get my wide foot into. I would like that to be a bit roomier for the wide foot, but it's certainly adequate. So far, I have worn the shoes only for a few short walks and some unpacking, so I can't speak to how comfortable they will be on a long walk on the sidewalks and streets, but my feet--and especially my recovering knee--have truly appreciated the springiness of the shoe so far--enough that I'm saving up for a pair of sandals for the summer.

Wide isn't Wide like the 7s
1 September 2023

I have the Bondi 7 and Arahi 5 in women's 10.5 Wide and they fit great from the start. I wanted an all white pair for summer and ordered the new Bondi 8s in same size, 10.5 Wide.My first order, I received what I would call an 'irregular' pair as one toe box was designed smaller and the heel cushioning didn't match, nor did the height of the soles. Who in quality control checked that one? I waited over 3 weeks to exchange and have a new pair sent.The Bondi 8 Wide fits like a medium B, not a wide D! My foot was scrunched in the width and couldn't imagine when my feet swell a bit after walking how much they'd hurt. The heel cup was good tho, I didn't notice my heel slipping.

I wanted an all white pair for summer and ordered the new Bondi 8s in same size, 10.5 Wide.My first order, I received what I would call an 'irregular' pair as one toe box was designed smaller and the heel cushioning didn't match, nor did the height of the soles.

The base felt different walking on them too, I didn't feel dreamy cushioning I have with the Bondi 7s. Not plush at all. The Clifton 9s that are a balanced ride that feel like the plush ride but I didn't like the look of those, tho that Wide was a good fit.I went to the men's section, but it fit too narrow like the same as the woman's D. Now it's end of summer (exhanges can take weeks at Hoka) and I'm now exchanging for a Men's Wide, and the color selection is minimal. The basic all-white isn't even offered in Men's wide.What bums me out with Hoka...1. I see all these feminine fun colors (lilac, light pink, etc) for women, but they're never offered in Wide. The colors offered in Wide are masculine and blah. The Men's list of Wide colors is just as minimal too. I see many reviews for men and women stating that Wide sizes aren't a true wide with Hoka too, especially with this year's redesigns.2. Exchanges take way too long. Other retailers send your exchange order as soon as they receive confirmation that your return is in the hands of the shipping agent.
