Hoka Bondi 8 review

Have you noticed these sneakers are everywhere? For several years now, more and more feet at the gym are sporting these sneakers. I had to find out what the hype was about! Everyone I spoke with told me their Hoka sneakers provided superior foot support, event those with planter fasciitis!

Then, my son went to get fitted for running shoes, they recommended a men’s pair of running shoes by Hoka to him, which he has found, are extremely comfortable. He has worn them to track practice, as well as football conditioning. All the signs were there for me to try a pair of running shoes by Hoka!

I did a little research, and found there were a few pairs of running shoes by Hoka which were highly recommended. I ended up going with the Bondi 8 since it seemed to provide both arch support and heel stability for my feet. So far, I love these shoes! For longer workouts, I do switch out the insoles with my orthotics, but for shorter workouts or walking, the insoles the Hoka Bondi 8 sneakers come with work just fine.

These are very cushioned shoes! I am not sure I have ever own a pair of sneakers which were so cushioned inside! If you are on your feet for a long period of time, these provide a very soft base which helps prevent fatigue. Even with orthotics, they are soft and very comfortable! Love that!

The Hoka Bondi 8 are available in an array of colors, I love this pair in shades of blue. It is so pretty! In addition to pretty colors, the comfort level is outstanding. These are my new favorite running sneakers! I am also using them in cardio kicking-boxing classes and on the treadmill. Love!

Have you tried Hoka sneakers? If so, what did you think?

Thanks for stopping by!

Shoe capsule wardrobe fall 2023

Shoe capsule wardrobe from top: loafer mules / lug sole boots (water resistant) / Mary Janes / rose and white sneakers / black boots /

My fall shoe capsule wardrobe is assembled! This fall, classic shoe styles such as loafers, loafer mules, street sneakers, and lug sole boots are hot on the streets. Of course, the western style boot trend, which is also timeless, is considered an ongoing trend in footwear.

The Mary Jane is a classic shoe style which ebbs and flows when it comes to fashion. It is good to invest in a pair which you can wear while the trend is hot, and then store for a time when the trend returns; and it always returns. I have a pair of Prada Mary Janes in my closet with a 3″ heel so I decided to invest in a shorter pair this season to give myself options. It is nice to have a high pair, and a low pair. I love this low pair which offers two straps and fancy buttons. Plus, they are under $200. Love that!

These lug sole boots are a fabulous stand-by which never goes out of style. The lug sole is perfect in both rain and snow. I also love how the lug sole grips in icy conditions. Of course, street sneakers are still hot! I love this rose and white pair since rose is an autumn hue from the pink family; and we all love pink right now!

I also love a classic pair of western style boots. My pair from last year is still on rotation, but a black pair is a must-have. These are comfortable and timeless. They go with all of my casual looks. Love that!

Loafers are as timeless as sliced bread; therefore, loafer mules are also as timeless as sliced bread. I love my loafer mules on warm fall days. With a little TLC, this pair lasts year after year! When you invest in a good pair of shoes, remember to polish them to keep them looking fresh.
