The HOKA Bondi 8 is rapidly gaining popularity as the go-to cushioned shoe for both running and walking. With its extra cushioning and revamped materials, this season's version of the HOKA Bondi offers an even softer and lighter step, thanks to a newly designed heel and a uniquely billowed rear crash pad that provides a smooth and comfortable transition from heel to toe.

The thick stack of soft EVA cushioning, wide base, stiff meta-rocker is unlike any other - which makes it highly suitable for those needing extra cushion support and a stiff base to reduce the pressure on your plantar.

Not great

"The BONDI 8 are cushy and comfortable,a little narrow for my foot but on the first try looked ok. While running however things start to emerge: The shoe is heavier than my previous saucony-asics I get blisters in the internal part of the food which is very annoying. Reading other reviews i find out i m not the only one. Not very happy with it. Maybe for walks are great but not for me for running"

Monza Bondi 8

"Took a little to get used to. Shoes seemed like they were a narrow fit. Just loosened the laces, and now they are so comfortable. Only use them for everyday walking at work, and they're so light compared to the old shoes."
