Like walking on a huge Marshmallow!
The Hoka One One Bondi8 shoes feature a wide platform and are favored by basketball referees. However, as a sports photographer, I also find them beneficial. Two important points to know: they are expensive, and they fit snugly on the top cover, with wide sizes being rare. This shoe type may not recommended for individuals with bunions or Hallux rigidus. To address the snug fit, I used a shoe stretcher with pads where needed and loosened the bottom laces near the toe line. This adjustment may not be necessary for all proper fittings.These are extremely comfortable and feel like walking on a large marshmallow. Before the purchase, I felt a spur on my heel causing mild to moderate pain, and the pain disappeared after wearing the Hokas for a week. The Hoka provides excellent cushioning, and the sole is designed for a smooth rolling stride. Despite the high price, the comfort of my feet and legs when walking - jogging made this investment worthwhile.
