HOKA Bondi 8 and Clifton 8: Tested and Reviewed!

[@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403]

I'm on my 2nd pair of Bondi 8s and if you're someone who thought you could never run again due to age or you're worried about your knees, let's just say I have zero pain when I wear them and can run for miles and miles. I'm not a big time runner (usually doing 4.3 miles 3 days a week), but I've done 10 miles in them and my hips and knees (the two areas I'm most concerned about) were 100% fine. I might tried the Clifton 8s just to see if they give me anything different, but I'm very happy with my Bondi 8s.

[@alexalast1038]

I bought both and tried it on. As a nurse whose always on my feet I liked the bondi 8. But for running and walking out I prefer the Clifton 8. Thanks for your review!!

[@Kali2Htwn]

Which would you suggest for being on the feet for 10 to 12 hrs shift

I just got the bondi 8 and they feel great so far!

[@TellurdogIsayhi]

Man I wish hoka would make a good looking white leather sneaker that’s kinda minimal up top, but still has their awesome cushioning. I want a shoe from them I can wear with slacks and still look nice

[@davidhatch7603]

The Hoka Bondi SR now comes in a leather white on white.

[@TellurdogIsayhi]

@@davidhatch7603 way too bulky looking.

[@dannyturner7967]

Get the Allen edmonds canyon trainer they have leather and suede and comfortable, they also have other styles

[@yadielmercedes3635]

This is a clear, concise review with good information. Great job! Just what I was looking for

[@randischlecht5515]

Just got a pair of Bondi 8. They are very comfortable and very great. Had ankle surgery last year and the doctor recommended me to get a pair. I’d get another pair in a heartbeat!!!

[@ccMomOfJays]

Do you still recommend? I'm just now beginning to walk again after a high Ankle sprain😢

[@cheryldwitama5488]

Thank you for the review! Just ordered the Clifton 8 which is going to be my first Hoka shoes. Can't wait to try them on!

[@hemamunjal105]

What is your review on clifton?

[@InuyashaDogDemon]

updates?

[@dorawaje4427]

Update?

[@cheryldwitama5488]

I like the shoes a lot! They are so comfortable. There’s some cushion so at first I needed to get used to it but when you start walking / running, they feel amazing! The size also fit perfectly. No need to size up. I got the blue fog color so I don’t wear them often because I don’t want them to get dirty haha

[@dexterjohn7644]

@@cheryldwitama5488did you get a regular or wide shoes

[@marcoc2706]

Thank you for the great review! Just ordered a pair of Clifton 8 online. Was considering Bondi 8 for its max cushioning, but your comparison convinced me. I'll mainly be using them for some lite running (under 5K).

[@lizaperalta7539]

I went to the shoe store to compare bondi 9 and clifton 9 since i don't own one. For me, clifton 9 has a nice feel and comfortable to my knee and ankle. I felt lighter. Bondi 9 is comfortable, but it's a little stiff on my sole. So, i ordered clifton 9 since I work 12 hrs in the medical field. 😃

[@OurBackwoodsHomestead]

Good video I recently bought the Clifton 9s they have really improved love them over the Bondi 8 & 9.

[@DoNotLetThemStealYourJoy]

What about power walking? I wore the Clifton 8 for longer distance today and got major foot fatigue. I usually wear mbt huracan for long distances with zero foot fatigue but decided to test the Clifton today.

[@dsch3241]

I had to stop running in Bondi, it was ruining my back . I’m for the Clifton 9 all the way!

[@johnnylam5360]

Agreed Bondi 8 suck for running

[@Bigworm98]

Bondi is meant for being on your feet and standing, Clifton is meant for running and more physical activity

[@RaeBaeLove]

Good review and wish I had of some more research before purchasing the bondi 8. I was exercising in Bondi 8 which wasn’t a good idea. Gonna purchase the Clifton 8 now. ❤

[@abdulrahimalzahrani6882]

Thanks for the review I will go with the bondi 8

[@martininevada1581]

My Daughter ordered 👟 Tuesday, I got the Bondi 8 Today. After I ware it a few Days I’ll let you know but that was an excellent review ‘straight to the point’ 👍🏼

[@MR-jn7ho]

Which shoe would you recommend for walking long distances?

[@degagalih]

Which one for long run???

[@rcduzit]

Thanks and great review. I was just diagnosed with PTTD while using the Nike Invincible 3. I was told to look into HOKA because they’re more of a stable shoe. I also get plantar fasciitis flare ups every so often. In your opinion is the Bondi 8 the better of all other HOKA shoes for my condition? I don’t use for running, just neighborhood walks, about 3-4 miles daily.

[@tacocruiser4238]

So Bondi is better for standing and Clifton is better for walking/running?

[@axelnils]

No

[@heythere6983]

Clifton 9 feels much more natural for moving around , Bondi feels boxier and flatter . Clifton has a springier foam now , can’t speak on the older version

[@jamarjuniel4233]

Bought a pair to run in and it was killing the tip of my toes so i had ti replace them for the on clouds. The hokas felts amazing to run in but couldn't deal with the pain

[@buzzwithbindiya2975]

Which one would you prefer for walking

[@kinsells123]

The first and last Hoka shoes that I will purchase (Bondi 8). It is like running in soft sand, and these runners managed to knock 1 minute/km off my average run time. They just suck the life from your legs as you increase time and kms. I would avoid these shoes for anyone that 1) enjoys running and 2) wants to keep enjoying running. Where they might add value is for recovery days, or for people that are training for an event that has them running through knee deep mud or in very soft sand across sand dunes. I am a heavy runner (90kg+) that runs 50km+ each week, and have not had an injury in about 5 years. These shoes changed that. My knees and ankles were inflamed and sore for days after running a slow 10km. I usually wear Saucony or On Cloud shoes, and have recently switched back...and the muscle soreness disappeared...and my times magically came back up to my normal average!! They are OK and comfortable for wearing around the house as a pair of slippers, but as a shoe for running - i would not recommend.

[@elisewood2336]

Which one would you recommmend I buy? It’s not for running but instead it’s my first shoe after foot surgery (lisfranc break). I need to support my arch and also the curved sole to help with walking.

[@giomusah2155]

bondi.

Are the bondi 8 too high or unsteady for an older woman after knee surgery?

Bondi 8

[@arnoldscheer5558]

this years i purchased hoka bondi 7 and mach 4 to try something different. However it is not a good marriage. i Just don't like the plush experience of Hoka. The bondi might be a good shoe for 9-10/mile Easy runs but my easy runs are a lot faster. Also the mach 4 is not the shoe for me. Not able tot run 6:30/mile with these shoes. I always feel tired after running with hoka. IT was worth trying out and the experiment failed. Firma shoes are my type of shoes

[@vlogswsammie]

can I use the bondi 8 for running? or is it not for running I’m so confused

[@sarabengtsson5741]

It is a running shoe so you should be able to use it for running 🤪 But from some reviews I read, they are not made for speed. ☺️

[@robg5509]

Thanks for such a great video. 😊

[@tugceerylmaz9922]

I am size 5.5 for trainers. But Hoka does not have size 5.5. Which size i would go? 5 or 6? 😂

[@frankopanklaric]

I don't see the point of wide front toe box on the lower and the narrow upper. The bondi could have been THE wide foot shoe. Missed opportunity.

Hoka's fall apart quickly but more disturbing is the warranty which they say is one year. You will have to send them back at your expense and wait for then to decide wether or not they want to do anything. The store you bought them will do nothing to help. Mine wore through the inside heal on both shoes in less than one month! Just stay away and buy another brand or take $180 and light it on fire its about the same.
