The Bondi 8 takes comfort and cushioning to the next level, making it one of Hoka’s most popular running shoes. In its eighth iteration, the shoe features a redesigned midsole geometry extended to the heel, paired with an even lighter and softer foam that enhances every stride.
With a high-volume midsole, the Bondi 8 is perfect for daily runs, long walks, or simply all-day comfort. The engineered mesh upper, combined with a padded collar and gusseted tongue, provides a secure, plush fit from the first step. Memory foam around the ankle adapts for a personalized feel, while the EVA “Marshmallow Foam” midsole delivers the ideal balance of softness and responsiveness. An OrthoLite® Hybrid™ insole further boosts cushioning and energy return, and the Active Foot Frame design ensures a stable ride for long distances. Strategic Durabrasion rubber zones on the outsole cut weight without compromising traction.
Weighing 307g with a 4mm drop, the Bondi 8 offers a symmetrical base of cushioning, perfect for neutral runners seeking lasting support without unnecessary bulk. With its maximalist design and oversized midsole, it delivers an exceptionally smooth, low-impact ride.
Sustainability is at the heart of this model—it’s fully vegan and made with partially recycled materials. Certified by the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), the Bondi 8 is recognized for promoting foot health, having been reviewed by podiatrists to ensure long-term comfort and protection.
For runners and walkers who demand maximum cushioning and performance in a single package, the Bondi 8 is the ultimate choice.
