Our tester initially tested these shoes six months ago and continues to reach for them as a walking shoe for hikes. Our tester is a big fan of Hoka shoes in general and has also tested the Hoka Clifton 9 and the Hoka Transport. The Bondi 8 is unbeatable as a walking shoe, but as a running shoe leaves a little to be desired.
The heel comes high up the back of the heel, offering grip and support where it matters.
