Hoka Bondi 8 running shoe review

The Hoka Bondi 8 is an excellent all-round shoe but is better suited to walking than running.

The rear crash pad is designed with a "billowed" effect to cushion the foot strike.

The heel comes high up the back of the heel, offering grip and support where it matters.

The outsole is suitably grippy, even on slick surfaces like wet tarmac .

Hoka Bondi 8 : Verdict : These are great shoes with everything you could want from a supportive distance road-runner.

However, they are heavy and wide.

If you're a distance runner looking for high energy return, cushioning and bounce, compromising a little on weight might lead to a more comfortable running experience.
