Reworked with an extended heel geometry, pillowed tongue and softer, lighter foams, the HOKA Bondi 8 men's road-running shoes take a bold step forward to a distinctly different ride.

Bondi 8's discounted a lot of places right now as the Bondi 9's are dropping soon. If you are a runner with flat feet and knee issues, there is no better shoe on the market.

Bondi 8 is a terrible shoe for flat feet. This shoe is for high arched feet. They run narrow in the mid foot and have a pronounced medial arch support.
I don't know if that's accurate.
My podiatrist told me to specifically get the Bondi or Gaviota (slight preference for the latter) with my very flat feet.
In any case, I do have custom orthotics in my Gaviota shoes but I wouldn't hesitate at the Bondi either.

You seem to be in the know. What are the best hokas for flat feet?

Bondi's are known to be the best walking shoe from their product line to date. There are several independent reviews on the net stating similarly.
I have the Clifton 9's because I wasn't able get a pair Bondi's on sale at that time. Picking up a pair right now.
Also, just an fyi for those who don't know about REI's membership (a one time $30 payment) that, you can return a pair of shoes up to ONE year for any reason. To my knowledge, there's no better return policy on shoes out there.
I purchased brooks ghost 15 and Hoka Clifton 9's about the same time. I wear the Hoka's way more. I have flat feet and use custom orthotics. Hoka's provide a much more comfortable walk.

I prefer the hoka Stinson 6/7 Atr over bondi because they're all terrain. Bondi is specifically made for road running
