HOKAONE ONE Mens Low-top

Before ordering the Hoka Bondi 8 or any other Hoka shoes, be aware that the fit can be quite tight, which may lead to painful discomfort over time, and worse if you have bunions. Simply loosening the laces provided temporary relief. I typically wear a "D" width, which is my standard width, but there are occasions when I need to choose a wide (W) shoe size. Unfortunately, there is no "break-in" period for these shoes, meaning they won't stretch in width even if you use shoe stretchers. Eventually, I decided to order a new pair in the X-Wide size instead of the Wide, and this fit was perfect and comfortable for me. Because of this, I would now rate the shoe 5 stars. Previously, I would have rated it maybe 2 stars, or even as low as 1 star. I'm not sure about the longevity of the Bondi 8, but so far over 150 miles and looking still like-new.

By far the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. My feet and legs feel great. Well made.

Best shoe for comfort

Great shoes that wear great and keep my feet comfortable. I walk eight to ten miles a day at my job and these shoes prevent my feet or back from hurting. I had to get a wide size in these when I regularly wear a normal size ten. But once that was rectified, I'm extremely happy with these shoes. Time will tell if they hold up to the rigors of everyday life.

Omg these came and the middle was sunken in. Definitely not true to size. I'd go 1/5. I'm a size 7 would do 7.5 I bought recommended 8 but these were not in good shape when arrived. Went to my new balance and saugony. If I spelled that right. Returned

I have narrow feet and was initially worried because these didn't come in a narrow. But I decided to give them a try after reading reviews etc., hoping that these 'new' type of super-cushioned walking shoes would bring the comfort they promised. When they arrived, I was surprised at how snugly they fit--very unusual for me, but I liked the feel of them. (And they were super lightweight.) But unfortunately, as soon as I stood up, I was surprised at the pain from the arch supports that felt like two pieces of raw plastic edges sticking into feet. At first, I wondered if they were defective and needed to be exchanged. (I see this issue is mentioned in other reviews, something about a type of arch.) Anyway, I started walking around with them in the house, thinking that it was unlikely that they would ' break in' and have to be returned--a bummer since the cushioning aspect was amazing. After about a week, I took a chance and wore them for my daily walk. It hurt a bit but I made it through there were no blisters, so I wore them the next day and the next. They felt better every day and I've been wearing them on my walk ever since. I'm glad the breaking-in worked for me, because the comfort of the cushioning is just what I was looking for!

Excellent fit and comfort! My go to shoes for walking or standing for a long time - really helps my arches.

I purchased this shoe in an attempt to deal with some foot problems. My research showed it was highly rated by runners, walkers and their community for particular issues. The shoe is definitely well made. It's expensive, but for those it helps it worth the money. One of my friends wears them and swears by them. For me, the extensive cushioning did not work well with my particular foot problems. I went with another recommended shoe, a Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22 to deal with overpronation. I ordered both shoes at the same time and tried them out indoors, so the shoes would be returnable. I am a big fan of cushioned soles and I also love the all-black design for its low-profile. I have worn Nike Air Monarchs for the same reason for over 10 years, mostly with orthotics, but my feet have changed during that time. In the end, there was a little too much cushion in the Hokas, so the Brooks served me better. Your feet may have different needs, so the Hokas may be perfect. I have spoken with my podiatrist about the shoes and pronation. He said he has recommended both to patients for different reasons. This is a really well made shoe and it might be the right one for you. Read up and ask your podiatrist, and possibly your sports-minded chiropractor, if you are fortunate to have one.
