A plush shoe that will help you breeze through the everyday miles.
The extended heel is designed to give a runner a more responsive ride without sacrificing that super-soft landing. And though these are not as bouncy as some of the other shoes I’ve tried , they were genuinely enjoyable to run in. They handled well on every turn and provided a firm, stable landing. I wouldn’t say they lack energy return; they’re just not quite as snappy as a race-day shoe.
A couple other in-the-weeds points that I think are worth mentioning: First, the Bondi 8 is a neutral running shoe. Without getting into too much running-shoe geekery, broadly speaking, neutral running shoes allow your feet to fall naturally and don’t try to force any corrections for. Running nerds love to debate whether pronation should be corrected , or if you should just let your feet fall naturally.
Second, the Bondi 8 has a 4-mm drop. Some running nerds feel that heel strikers may be better served by having a higher drop . Many beginner runners tend to be heel strikers, thus higher drops are often recommended if you’re new to the sport. I bring all of this up because if you’re a serious heel striker who knows you often over- or under-pronate significantly, no amount of high-stacked foam may help you to feel comfortable in a shoe like this. Likewise, if you’re brand new to running or still refining your form, you may benefit from a shoe with a higher drop. There’s really no right or wrong answer here; it’s just one more element to consider.My hips, knees, and ankles felt great during and after every run.
My legs weren’t more tired than usual after each run, and there was no lingering soreness or aches in the days that followed.
