Is the Bondi 8 good for walking and standing all day?

Yes. Its deep cushioning and rocker roll make it a popular choice for nurses, walkers and anyone on their feet for hours. The trade-off is a bulky, heavy feel.

How does the Bondi 8 compare with the Bondi 7?

The Bondi 8 has a lighter build, a more extended heel for stability and a slightly softer, more balanced ride. The overall max-cushion character is unchanged.

Does the Bondi 8 run true to size?

It runs roomy and wide. Many buyers go half a size down, and women converting from men's sizes should size down about 1.5 sizes.

Is the Bondi 8 good for fast running or races?

No. It is built for easy miles and comfort, not speed. Runners wanting a lighter, quicker shoe should look at HOKA's Clifton or Mach lines.

What drop does the Bondi 8 have?

It has a 4 mm heel-to-toe drop, which is low and encourages a flatter foot strike. Runners used to higher-drop shoes may need time to adjust.

Is the Bondi 8 waterproof?

No. This version has a breathable mesh upper without a waterproof membrane. HOKA offers separate water-resistant versions for wet weather.

Our take on the HOKA Men's Bondi 8

The HOKA Bondi 8 is a max-cushion road running shoe built for comfort over speed. Its thick EVA foam midsole, extended heel and 4 mm drop give a soft, stable ride that suits long days on feet as much as easy runs. At about 8.9 oz it is light for its stack height, though the bulky sole and wide fit divide opinion. Reviewers praise the plush cushioning and rocker roll; some find it heavy and unstable for faster paces, and the roomy fit runs wide for narrower feet.
