Critics' Consensus

“The HOKA Bondi 8 provides a stable, cushioned ride suitable for walking and slow recovery runs, but it feels heavier, firmer, and less responsive than newer models like the Bondi 9 and Clifton 10. While it remains a comfortable option for easy miles, its traditional feel and lack of energy return make it less appealing for modern daily training.”
