it was a little too wide. the arch of my foot feel too flat since the shoe was 7D wider than a regular 7B size. i feel as if i had to use all the room on the wider section. the back of the shoe rub my heel since it was just a tab wide. I have purchased a 7B and still looking for an alternative shoe to wear so I have an extra pair.

Just one thing, if you had more padding inside bottom of shoes. Other than that I wear them all day. Good job !

I like the shoe but for my plantar fasciitis, I needed more arch support. I will go to a shoe store that carries these so I can try them on. Other than that I really liked how they felt. On my normal foot, I don't think I would have needed a break in period..

My feet hurt all the time. I bought a pair of these and they are great! Great for everyday wear & walking. Lots of plush cushioning on bottom.

I'm pretty sure that these are great shoes. However, I need a flatter sole, especially in the toes. The toe part of the shoe curve up and that's not a match for my hammer toes. It is for that reason alone that I am returning them.

Hoka Bondi 8 shoes are life changing for me. The cushioning supports my knees and helps me maintain balance all day long. My only challenge is the colors are a little crazy for me. If there was a way to subdue the colors a little, that would be awesome. I wear these shoes hard and can tell when they are starting to wear a little under my arches. Then I buy a new pair and go through four-five pairs per year.

I stand daily for 8 hours at work. These are very cushy. But I think I need to try on different pairs as I bought mine online.

I have mortons neuroma in both feet ... I have been looking for walking shoes as we are going to Europe in August. All I can wear now are Birkenstocks but none of them work for long walks. I wore these a couple of times on short 1/2-1 mile walks and while I did not get shooting pain I did get twinges and numbness in my right foot. Since these are the only walking shoes that come close to working for me I am going to keep them.
I'd also recommend:
Birkenstocks

I like the shoe, it fits great! I have wide feet so it's always hard to find shoes that fit and my doctor recommended Hoka. The only thing that I have an issue with is the tongue is sewed down. I'm like the person that wants to take that off even though the tag says do not remove. :)

I am always on the lookout for wide width shoes. I saw these and decided to try the brand for the first time. They fit very well and seem well-cushioned. I was thrilled that wide shoes came in a variety of fun colors. Usually once I click on "wide," there are only black or white pairs. It will be awhile before I use the pair I bought. When my current pair of walking shoes wears out, these will be on deck.

They hadn't been so narrow. Yes I ordered wide, however they were extremely narrow. I ended up with bruising and blisters on both feet on the insole. After calling they confirmed they run narrow even when ordered in wide. The customer service and return was extremely easy. The shoe itself was absolutely gorgeous. I hate that I can't wear them. If u have wide feet, it's a hit or miss. My sister's were fine, same pair and size. Guess I just have wider feet. It was suggested that I try men's but I'll wait to go in store. Overall I would recommend these.

I work for a retail grocery store. On my feet a lot walking on cement floors. Would like to see a little more padding on the ball of the foot behind my toes

I don't even know how many pairs of Hokas I have owned, but I do know I always buy the same size, and I have worn them for many, many miles. I am always disappointed that they stop making whatever model I need to replace, but so far each new pair has been great. This go-round, I am not so sure. I only have about 15 miles on these, but they are rubbing my ankles a bit and they are definitely wider than I expected. They actually feel a bit big, but I did not recognize that until I was out wearing them on a short run. They feel well cushioned. I love the color. I would just suggest that you be careful to be sure they fit properly before it is too late to exchange them.

These shoes are still not as comfortable as the bondi 5 but a great improvement from the last pair of bondi 8 and 7, I purchased. The last pair of bondi 8 and the pair bondi 7, I purchased hurt my feet from the moment I put them on. My husband also had issues with the last two pair of bondi 8 and SR, and has switched to Brooks shoes, but I love my Hoka so, I wanted to give them one last chance before I switched. I have to say these are a great improvement from my last two pairs. And, as a former nurse, I replace my Hoka every three to six months so I have owned several pairs over the years. They are still not as comfortable as the bondi 5 a great improvement over the last bondi 8 and 7, I purchased, and I cut that piece of fabric holding the tongue to the side of the shoes they fit even better.

Absolutely love these shoes. I wear them everyday to work. There was a mix up where they sent me 2 pairs of shoes and when I returned them UPS charged me to send them back. That was a little frustrating, but the shoes are truly worth it. How do us healthcare workers become an ambassador!? LOVE

Very comfortable shoe but I was hoping for more arch support. While the shoes look huge, they look just fine on.

This shoe fit but the design of the sole made me feel off balance. Not a good thing for an older person.

These are not the most gorgeous of shoes but for someone who walks 2-3 miles a day & has neuropathy, as I do, they are ideal. This will be my 6th pair. I have custom orthotics for them. I would be esp happy with them if they had more cushion in the toe box. I walk hills and push off on my toes. The one thing I am disatisfied with is they don't last long for a daily walker. The tread wears out. 4- 6 mos tops. Makes them pretty expensive.

I received the shoes quickly. This is my second pair of this design of shoe and I will continue to purchase them. I had issues with my feet after being an avid walker and had to stop my progress because it just became too painful. My son who works at a hospital said the majority of doctors and nurses wear this brand and because I was desperate I paid more than I was used to paying. This shoe is very comfortable and though I haven't worn them outside yet, trying them on they were comfortable immediately.

Returned the size 8 for 7.5. Really comfortable and supportive. A bit wider in the sole than I preferred, but worth the support for plantar fasciitis.

Due to arthritis in my feet, I've had limited walking for decades. These shoes were recommended by my podiatrist. Now I can walk really well! It's amazing!! The only negative is that I get texts and emails from the company DAILY. They drive me nuts!! How often do people buy shoes, anyway????

I am using these shoes for walking and running errands. My only complaint is that they are slightly too narrow. I have trouble with widths as I seem to in between normal and wide. I do love the colors although this one is closer to purple than blue. I gave my husband my size 11 shoes and he likes them as well.

I bought these shoes because of the color. It was love at first sight. I like the cushion of the Bondi, but I prefer the back design of the Clifton 9. The heel on the Bondi feels a bit shallow. If I could combine the Clifton 9 and the Bondi it would be a perfect shoe.
