GURU TIP:  The new Bondi 8 runs a touch slimmer than the Bondi 7.  You may want to consider widths.

TECH TIP: Hoka Bondi 8 is lighter and softer with Hoka’s modified foam cushioning system.  It’s new, sleek upper design and comfort-focused midsole also make the 8 ideal for avid walkers or those who enjoy a comfy all-day sneaker.  Runners and walkers will gravitate towards the comfortable upper with dependable lockdown as well as the obvious cushion.  The upper is a bit more narrow than past Bondi’s, so it does fit a little more snug.  The biggest surprise of all is this version is actually pretty attractive.  

BUY THIS SHOE IF:  You are looking for an easy going, max cushion shoe for your long shifts, long miles and tired legs. 

DON’T BUY THIS SHOE:  If you are wanting to hit your fastest race pace, want something with bounce back.
