How does the TS Caged differ from the regular Bondi 8?

Same thick foam midsole and rocker, but the Caged adds a translucent film cage over the upper for a more locked-in midfoot. Expect a firmer, more structured hold and slightly less stretch than the plain Bondi 8.

Is it good for wide feet?

Yes. The Bondi last is roomy through the toe box, and many wide-footed owners size down half a size rather than up. The cage tightens the midfoot, not the toes.

Can I run fast in it?

Not really. It is a max-cushion daily trainer built for easy miles and recovery, and its weight and tall stack work against tempo paces. Use a lighter shoe for speed sessions.

Most owners go true to size, and some with narrow feet go down half a size because the upper runs roomy. Try it with the included spare laces to dial in the midfoot hold.

Yes. HOKA lists the shoe as vegan, made from synthetic and textile materials with rubber in the outsole.

One pair of shoes and an extra set of laces. Nothing else is included.

Our take on the HOKA Bondi 8 TS Caged Running Shoe

The Bondi 8 TS Caged is HOKA's max-cushion trainer with a translucent film cage layered over the grid textile upper for a locked-in, more structured fit. The lightweight foam midsole is the thickest, softest platform in the Bondi line, and zonal rubber keeps weight down underfoot. It suits runners and walkers who want plush landing and a rocker that rolls them forward, not people chasing ground feel or speed. Against the standard Bondi 8 it adds the cage and a stiffer hold; against lighter daily trainers like the Clifton it is heavier and softer, which owners either love or find too much shoe.

Best forLong easy runs and recovery daysRunners with joint or heel sensitivity who want max cushionWalkers and standing-all-day workersWide-footed buyers wanting a roomy toe box

Pros

Very thick, soft foam midsole absorbs hard landings
Rocker geometry rolls the foot forward with little effort
Caged upper holds the midfoot more securely than the plain Bondi
Roomy toe box suits wide feet
Vegan build with no animal materials
Spare laces included in the box

Cons

Heavy for a running shoe, so tempo work feels sluggish
Tall stack reduces ground feel and can feel unstable on uneven ground
Cage overlay stiffens the upper and takes break-in
Outsole rubber is placed sparingly, so durability is only average
Bulky look is not for everyone
