Bondi Padded Lace-Up Sneakers

My running shoe of choice, I'm on my second pair of Bondi 8's right now. I chose these when I was first getting into running because of the cushioning and I've stuck to them ever since. They look funny because of the big cushioning, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I feel secure and comfortable wearing them. Worth the money, always recommend.

I adoreee my Bondi 8's and got my husband onto them as well. A full day in Disneyland is no issue with them. I actually started my Hoka journey in Gaviota 4 Wides from Nordstrom Rack which ended up giving me terrible blisters (because I honestly didn't know what to look for back then) but went to the Hoka store in Venice where they fitted me into regular width Gaviota 5s which I ended up loving even though I don't need stability shoes, but they just make me feel very secure while running. Then eventually I wanted to try Bondi 8s because of the hype and because there was a sale (even though when I tried them in store first I didnt like them) and now they are my go to for long, easy runs... and, again, any day where I need to walk a lot, like going to Disneyland, haha! One thing I don't like about Hoka is that their loyalty program doesn't support in-store purchases yet and that shipping takes quite a while with them, even the fast options. Otherwise recommend though!

I have the Bondi 8 for work as a dental assistant, and they have been the best work shoes ever! I like the larger toe box, and the bouncey cushion. I can feel them wearing down, but id say I'll get a good year out of them!
