Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

I am able to walk all day on long shifts comfortably. Highly recommend it if you need comfortable shoes that are also waterproof.

The HOKA Bondi SR is built for people who spend long hours on their feetand it shows. Right out of the box, the standout feature is its plush cushioning. The thick EVA midsole delivers a soft, almost pillowy ride that does an excellent job of absorbing impact, making it ideal for service workers, or anyone walking and standing all day. Comfort aside, the Bondi SR is also designed with practicality in mind. The full-grain leather upper is easy to clean and gives the shoe a more professional, work-appropriate look compared to typical running shoes. It's also water-resistant, which is a big plus in messy or unpredictable environments. The slip-resistant outsole provides solid traction on slick surfaces, adding a layer of confidence if you're moving quickly across tile or wet floors. That said, the shoe isn't perfect. Its bulkier design can feel clunky, especially if you're used to lighter footwear. Breathability is another tradeoffthe leather upper doesn't ventilate as well as mesh, so your feet may run warm during long shifts. Additionally, the price point is on the higher side, though many users find the durability and comfort worth the investment. Overall, the HOKA Bondi SR is a top-tier choice for all-day comfort and support, especially in demanding work environments. If cushioning and stability matter more to you than lightweight performance, it's a reliable option that delivers where it counts.

They aren't comfortable for me feet

There's a lot of hype around Hoka shoes, and they're pretty comfy; I'll admit that. But, working a standing-job for eight hours/day is giving this shoe a run for its money I wish that it were BOTH more-supportive AND comfier. HOWEVER, the shoes that I picked are, kind of, ugly. Why did I pick them, then? BECAUSE: A CHAIN IS AS STRONG AS ITS WEAKEST LINK whilst the mesh-top shoes are much more visually appealing, the mesh-tops are NOT as DURABLE as the LEATHER-TOPS. And I'm zero-percent spending, about, $200 for a weak-link. HOKA PLEASE, make more durable, stronger tops WITH MORE ATTRACTIVE DESIGNS!!!

No arch support. Feels like I'm walking on cardboard boxes. And the string runs my big toe and aggravates gout. If I could give this a zero star I would. Bondi 8 are the best but Bondi slip resistant are the worst???? Make that make sense!! I need slip resistant shoes for 12 hour shifts!! I can't be a Hoka customer anymore. EXTREMELY disappointed is an understatement!!!

I have a friend who raved about this brand. I am a chef and one of my coworkers swore by the SR shoes. He said they were the best he had ever worn. So I splurged and bought a pair. The first day of wear it was like walking on a cloud; however, the longer I wore them the more my back ached. Then my legs began to ache, but I didn't want to believe it was the shoes. One night I came home and my legs felt so tired I couldn't deny it any longer. Sorry, I had to return them. For me they were awful.

I work at UPS and for 20 years of working there I've always wore New balance work shoe. I must say these Hoka work shoe are thee Best!!! Now I wear a 6.5 regular but they were tight in my pinky space. So I purchased a 6.5w instead and oh my , I am so happy with delivering. Heaven sent these shoes to me. I even purchased my daughter who's in medical school the white ones. She likes them too!

The shoes had been worn when I received them. There was dirt and food on the bottom, and the laces were knotted. There were toe prints on the top of the sneakers, and the leather was stretched. They felt wider because they had been worn and returned.

I am on my feet minimum of 8 hours a day cooking in hospital kitchen. Not only do these shoes keep me from slipping on wet floors they have already protected me from a serious burn when boiling water ended up on my foot! The shoes are water repellent so the heat did not burn me. My feet dont hurt at the end of a day, my feet used to be so painful that all I could do was sit when I got home now I am able to do things after work. I cant recommend these shoes enough! I have been wearing them daily for 2 months and my feet and legs are thanking me.

They were for my wife but she loves them so much. I'm planning on getting a pair for myself.

I work in a kitchen 8 to 12 hour days. On my feet ALL day. Hard concrete floors, wet, oily, all conditions. The support in these sneakers are great for my feet, knees and lower back. The non skid allows me to move quickly with confidence. These were so comfortable from day one. Made with such great quality, I wore one pair for close to a year before I realized it was time for a fresh pair. Which makes the price seem more reasonable . I've been in food service for over 30 years and have never been happier!

I put off investing in a nice pair of work shoes for a LONG time because I wasn't sure if it would really make a difference. Let me tell you.. I'm a bartender and these are the best shoes I've ever worn. Non slip, waterproof, and my feet are no longer wet and sore at the end of the day. These shoes were the best investment.

These shoes are worth the investment. My feet are pain free after 8+hours 5 days a week.

not even a week the bottom is falling apart already..

This is my 5th pair of these SR HOKA shoes, I love them! I use all my old pairs for snow removal, I don't slip on the snow unlike my boots. And use the old pairs for working outside in the soil and yard. These are very supportive and comfortable shoes. I walk in them and workout in the gym with them. I have short duck feet, so I wear the 5.5 Wide and these are the only shoes that fit me comfortably. All I would like to see is please, please make them in bright pretty colors (aqua, blue, teals, green etc.)!! I purchased the faded denim/berry, they don't show dirt but would love some bright colors please!

I have worn Merrell shoes for last 10 years. Hoka shoes support my ankles and are comfortable for my feet. Previously I sustained permanent nerve and joint damage to both feet and struggle with comfortable shoes. I can put my orthotics in shoes. Not sure I'll go back to Merrell. Highly recommend Bondi SR.

comfy shoes for walking a lot through the hospital, but the outer "leather" material feels very cheap and the shoes squeak nonstop on all kinds of hospital flooring

This is my third pair, definitely one I keep coming back to for comfort and durability be waterproof is a plus in the workplace where I'm at

These shoes are less than a year old and the plastic piece in the heel has broken through the fabric and can't be fixed. The plastic presses directly into my skin when I walk and rubs blisters.

I have plantar fasciitis and bone spurs on the heels of both my feet. This shoe feels like I'm walking on air. Other shoes I can last about 4 hours consistently on my feet where as with these shoes I'm good for at least 8 hours.

I got these for work. I am a runner at a hospital. They don't "squish" like my other ones, but provide good support and are pretty waterproof.

Really good product for being on your feet all day long. As a pharmacy tech, the only sitting you do is on your break. My feet used to get super sore and blistering. My feet still get sore, but the blisters are thankfully gone! These shoes are super comfortable and didn't have to be 'broken in'
