Two weeks ago, I noticed that the Hoka Bondi 8 was reduced by 30%, which hardly ever happens. I didn't expect the sale to last long, because these are high-quality shoes and a discount of $51 is the best I've seen in a long time (even better than the 19% discount I saw over Black Friday). However, you can still save 30% on the men's shoes and women's shoes. Plus, the discount applies to all styles, not just a selection of unpopular colors that aren't shifting. So, if you've had your eye on a pair, now is the time to treat yourself.
I test many shoes for Fit&Well's guide to the best walking shoes and rated the Bondi 8 highly when I wore it, putting it in the number one spot for most of 2024.
I'm very picky with my walking shoes, so it's rare for a pair to earn a full five-star rating. I reserve that honor for real standouts that offer unparalleled comfort. I've tested several Hoka shoes and while I loved the Clifton 9 (also reduced at REI at the moment), and the Transport, the Bondi 8 remains my favorite.
Although it's designed as a road-running shoe, I much prefer it for walks, because the wide crash pad makes it a little heavier than I'd like for a running shoe. However, for those looking for a reliable companion for distance runs, the Bondi 8 suits this purpose too.
