    Hoka saved my running life. Dedicated ultrarunner for years, started having knee issues. Bought some Hokas, immediate improvement.

    Just gotta say Hoka changed my outlook on running shoes. I don't know where I've been but they were recommended by my podiatrist after developing plantar fasciitis. Still have it but it (Clifton 8) was an instant hit with my feet. I see a second pair in my future!

    Love my Bondi 7. Bondi 8 drops in a day or two.....
    I have brand new Mach 5's...... These are verrrry much a rocker shoe. But, I don't currently have the strength and form to do it justice.
    That is the direction I am headed.
    Nicely done, Hoka 👍👍👍

    I have severe flat feet and plantar fasciitis from the Marines. My feet were constantly killing me until I purchased a pair of Hokas. My second pair though hurt my feet and they were really loud, the material used on the inside would squeek badly. All in all I love the shoe, but I’ll pay better attention to exactly which style is best for my condition.

  • @ozzyb6595
    @ozzyb6595 2 роки тому +3

    I bought these because I have flat feet wide feet. These were concerning at first because of the price. But all shoes I’ve worn have my feet throbbing after 5 hours of walking. Not even doing anything intense.
    Got the Clifton 8. First day was painful because the shoe was pushing up my arches. Because the shoes I’ve had didn’t do that. Now 1 week later after being broken in. These are amazing. They get the job done. My feet aren’t throbbing. Highly recommend.

    I just bought the Bondi 8 and I’m not a crazy long distance runner just run a typical 4 miles a day, and I shaved 4 minutes on the first run on my 8’s just from the comfort and support alone on the shoe. Like running on clouds 0_o

    Never heard of these shoes. I’ve had severe foot pain for the past 10+ yrs. Finding a comfortable shoes is an understatement! I’ve tried many even custom prescribed insoles from the dr.
    Nothing worked, nothing.
    My feet? Flat, dropped arches, and plantar fasciitis. I’ve done ice soaks just name it. Today I walked into a chicken feed store called Farm Way and saw so many different brands I’ve tried and once again started the process of looking again. A man asked if I needed help and what were my needs. We went over a couple brands and then he said he had something that was designed for foot pain. He brought me over a pair I don’t even know which one. I was tired just out of work feet in pain as usual and let me tell you…. I asked to put both on which is also rear because what’s the point after this many years in pain.
    I put them on and not to sound crazy but just that felt good. Then I started to walk and I couldn’t hold back the tears. Even now it’s hard because the pain was gone and I mean gone. Trust me I know pain in the feet. Dancers feet that is.
    All I felt was the pain leave and I walked out of the store wearing them. The price is maybe higher for someone with no issues but with all the bigger sports brand I’ve tried that are for my feet GARBAGE. I’ll be purchasing these every 4 to 6 months. I feel like I’m walking on air or pillows!! 🥹 After 8 hrs on my feet at work I’ve had them on now for two hrs and I had to look you guys up. I can’t thank you enough! Makes me want to start a UA-cam channel just to sing your praises. My husband is so heartfelt happy. Now I can do all throw away my ugly hard nurse shoes that were over priced for the lack of true comfort. Please feel free to comment back if I can give you a review or whatever if you’d like. Sincerely and
    Truly thankful Lisa

      Hey bro, I'm a little late I see but some help nonetheless. I've run with quite a few Hoka shoes now, I would say the Bondi is the one you're looking for. A bit more cushioning and support, but still an excellent responsiveness to them. They last a good while too!

      I would consider a Bondi in a wide width option. The bondi is a little more inherently stable and the wide width will give a little more volume for your wider foot: www.runningwarehouse.com/descpage-HOB8M10.html?from=youtube
