Having a wide size with planter fasciitis and pronation with tendency to turn or be unsteady on an ankle, I have usually bought other brands.

And they are LIGHT on the feet. The only comment of suggestion is that the designers need to make the insole slightly wider or different design to make the interior edge at the arch not rub. 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). This is the second time Hoka has made a redesign on a shoe I loved for the wider toe box (my first experience was with the Cliftons).

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.

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.

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.
Hoka's are the only sneakers I put my collapsing worn out feet into. Why? Because no other brand helps my feet with the pain as much as some select styles of Hoka do. Even my doctors recommend Hoka over Brooks.Recently, I bought 2 different styles. The Gaviota 4 and Bondi 8, both 9 1/2, wide. The moment I put the Bondi 8 on, I knew they were a keeper. The insoles have great arch support (didn't need to replace with my custom orthotics). They push off without affecting my recent knee replacement & I felt like I was walking on air.I had a different experience with the Gaviota 4. Not as wide. Over all length seems shorter then Bondi 8 or my older Arahi 5 (another comfy sneaker). The Gaviota 4, to me, aren't as cushiony under the balls of the feet.

They aren't as supportive in the arch area as Bondi or Arahi. Also, when I walked, they seemed to put a strain on the knee that had the arthroplasty surgery (3 months ago).If you don't have any real major foot problems, the Gaviota 4 should be fine (it's a nice looking sneaker). Just remember, wide feet might not be able to use this sneaker because it's not a true wide. For problem feet, go with Bondi 8. They are the most comfortable sneakers I HAVE EVER worn. At work, I do about 10,000 steps & unlike other sneakers, my feet are still feeling pretty decent by days end.
I used to wear Brooks Adrenalines but decided to try these Bondis (size 8 in the lavender color) because of the extreme cushion. The shoes are beautiful and felt so springy while walking/running; however, the inner bottom of my feet started to BURN and cause pain after 15 or so minutes of wearing these. My feet had red lines (almost like a blister was about to form) from the shoes...I wore these for a week thinking I just needed to break them in (even though this has never happened with my Brooks), but the red line situation never improved. This also started impacting walking barefoot around my house and wearing other shoes.I wanted these to work so bad but ultimately returned them. Also, a google search lead me to find other reviews stating the same issue -- ... MoreI used to wear Brooks Adrenalines but decided to try these Bondis (size 8 in the lavender color) because of the extreme cushion.

Either way, I'm thankful for Hoka's amazing return policy but will likely not buy their shoes again. I recommend people new to Hoka visit a store and try these on instead of buying them online. Hopefully this review helps some of you!
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.
My absolute FAVORITE pair of shoes of my life are my old Hokas which are about 4-5 years old and the heel cracked in luggage about 6 months ago and I've been on a quest to replace them. The newer Bondi's are much more narrow and the wides are way too wide. The comfort is just not the same. My original pair was brand new when we did a trip to Italy and walked over 20 miles in a day and my feet were so happy! The new Bondi's don't compare. I got the same size and my toes were so squished that the first pair I purchased I donated after 2 weeks. Just not comfortable. I recently ordered the newest Bondi's in regular and wide, and tried a few other Hoka styles. The comfort doesn't compare. Not even close to my old ones with the cracked heel and hole in the toe even at 4+ ... MoreMy absolute FAVORITE pair of shoes of my life are my old Hokas which are about 4-5 years old and the heel cracked in luggage about 6 months ago and I've been on a quest to replace them.

Not even close to my old ones with the cracked heel and hole in the toe even at 4+ years old. I tried on so many different styles and finally settled on a new pair. Wore them one day on vacation and had to stop and buy sandals half way through the first day because I had so many blisters I could barely wal--the plastic on the side dug into my heel on both feet, the cushioning was not comfortable and I had blisters on the ball of my foot and side of my toe and under my heel. I think I may never find a pair that matches my originals. I wish I could get a pair of the originals. Really bummed out.
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.
I've owned Bondi 6s and 7s ever since my physician recommended them to treat my sore feet. Every iteration makes subtle improvements that enhance comfort and fit, and the Bondi 8 is no different. The soles, particularly under the arches, provide excellent support for walking, running, and hikes. I've stood through concerts and logged 10 km with minimal discomfort thanks to the wonderfully plush design.The Bondi 8 fits small. i jumped up a half size ultimately. The 10 feels like a 9.5; the 10.5 is closer to a true 10. A full size up to 11 was too long, but not too wide. They do run to the narrow side, which works beautifully for me.The Bondi's beautiful colour ways keep improving too.

Pictures don't do the lilac shade with reflective silver effects justice, and I'm loving the subtle transitions in colour.My one caveat with the shoe is in the heel. I've worn holes in the material in my previous pairs, and this pair is already sagging a little bit in the back. The design needs more reinforcement. Always unlace your shoes before slipping them on to prevent "heel collapse."Verdict: 4.5 stars.

The endless cushion and comfort of the women's HOKA Bondi 8 carries you through long runs, recovery days and long hours spent on your feet.
