Why the Hoka Bondi 8 fits this way

The Bondi 8 is Hoka's plush, maximum-cushion daily trainer, and the length consensus is true to size — buy your usual running size. As with all Hokas, ignore the brand's size guide if it pushes you a full size down; runners who used their normal size report a near-perfect fit with about a centimeter of toe room.

The Bondi is generally considered one of Hoka's roomier-feeling shoes — "Bondi is roomier than the Cliftons" is a common refrain — but roomier is relative: the toe box is still not generous, and one widely-echoed line is that "Hoka doesn't believe in room in the toe box." For wide feet, the important detail is that Hoka only changes the upper for Wide and 2E sizes — the midsole platform stays the same width — so the Wide adds upper room without the dramatic transformation some expect. Wide-footed runners generally do better buying the Wide/2E than simply sizing up, which mostly adds length rather than forefoot width.

The Bondi's tall, rockered, soft midsole is the draw; just don't expect a barefoot-roomy forefoot. Net: true to size in length for almost everyone; choose the Wide or 2E if you have wide feet, rather than going up a size.
