    I have neuropathy from cancer treatments. A friend recommended Hokas. The Bondi 8 are the first shoes that I’ve worn in years that don’t make me feel like I’m walking on nails. I love my Hokas! They are pretty much the only shoe I ever wear. I wish they weren’t so expensive but they are worth every penny to me.

    I've been running with the Hoka Bondi 8 for the last 2 years. As a not so young man, I pretty much gave up on the idea that I could still run until I started wearing them. I got the recommendation from an employee at my local sneaker store and it opened up a whole world for me. Getting the right pair of shoes, socks, compression socks? When I feel like it, i can rip off 10 miles now. This is from someone who's had feet problems from youth and is "not young"!

      And probably won't see them everywhere because they are expensive unless you visit a hospital or go to an "upscale" shopping center where "trending followers" like to go or something like that. Healthcare workers buy them because they are comfortable, no because it's a trend.

    Hoka has drop, which is for running and not good for standing still, so its a bit of a myth that these are the best, but they dont make cushion sneakers so this is the "only" option we have. also, the toebox is not wide. Hoka actually has too narrow toebox compared to others, so this doctor probably has extra wide, which not all hoka come in. I also want to add, one of the reason hoka is solid, is 1: vibram. 2: gore-tex. Which is NOT hoka.
    I love hoka myself, but holy shit this is overhyped.

    I do like HOKA shoes, as a healthcare professional, I appreciate the cushioning of their soles. But there is, in my opinion, a better quality and just as comfortable sneaker shoe maker and it is made in the USA, L L. Bean. Best of all, they are cheaper and last way longer.
