Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

I bought a standard width shoe yet my foot slides all around in it even when the laces are tightened up. And it's only gotten worse w daily wear, had I realized this prior to throwing the box away I would return them. I will never purchase again for this reason. If you have a wide foot I highly recommend as they are very comfortable & light weight otherwise.

Like the look and feel overall, but very stiff and tight around the ankles, and I have narrow feet. Have only worn once and I think they will loosen up with more wearing time.

I did a lot of research before purchasing these shoes for my sister. She is a restaurant manager and is on her feet constantly. She also suffers from plantar fasciitis. She deals with a lot of pain. She has had them for 2 weeks and they are still not "broken in". She can't even wear them every day because they hurt her feet and have even caused blisters. She is optimistic about them being great shoes "in the long run" but I feel terrible that her feet are still suffering. I didn't know what I was expecting but this experience was not it. Especially since they cost almost $200.

I am on my feet for 9 hours on a concrete floor. I needed a good supportive shoe and I heard great things about these shoes. I used the shoe finder help to find the right one. I have a wide foot so I bought the wide. Maybe my foot is not as wide as I thought because I have blisters on the outside of my big toes. It must be from the shoes rubbing? Also the tongue of the shoe is pretty stiff and is pushed up against the front of my ankles which have caused a bruising. I've adjusted the tightness of the shoe strings to see if it would help but it didn't. Hopefully there is another shoe they can recommend because I do love the support for the arch and heel. It has helped my lower back some. They also clean up nicely. I am a cook and have spilled several things on them and it has wiped right off. There are good things and not so good things but I'm hoping for a better shoe fit.

My boyfriend had originally purchased a size woman's 7 regular for me. The soles themselves feel amazing and they look stylish considering they are workshoes. I am a busy hairstylist who stands all day where comfort is a must. HOWEVER, after trying for several days to "break in" the shoes I simply could not stand the throbbing pain from how incredibly tight these Bondi's are. I have never bought a wide shoe before. I'm a small girl (5'3,110lbs). I understand that the width of your foot determines whether you need a wide shoe size. I know my feet are not wide. My boyfriend decided to return the shoes, saying for about $200, these podiatrist approved shoes should not make your feet hurt even more. I was sad now, so he then ordered the Bondi SR in wide... now I am swimming in the wide Bondi's cant return them... I have to double sock just so I wont slip in them. Sadly there is no winning for these shoes. No proper in between. Either too tight or too wide! They are comfortable (sole wise) and had thought they looked cool. Now they look too big on my small self and people make fun of me. sad times

It took over a month to receive. Once I did I tried it out but the way the shoe is made it can make my foot go numb if standing in one spot for too long. If walking for a long time the tough can hurt ankle. The sole of the shoe is good but everything I wear them my feet have to work in the shoe before they are ok to stand. They were very expensive so I expected better results.

The product is too heavy. Not highly recommended for walking, standing on a 12 hour shift in healthfield.

Although they fit well and are comfortable, they are very clunky and hot, due to their construction. I purchased these but wanted Clifton L which are no longer available. I am returning and I guess I will purchase the Clifton LS even if they added the gold stuff to them. Just want a black shoe like the Clifton L which were perfect.

This is the 3rd pair of Bondi SRs I've purchased and they are not the same as the other two. I'm on my feet 12+ hours some days and these shoes use to be a godsend but now my pain level has increased in my legs, feet and lower back. I don't know if I'll order them again.

Unfortunately they are not wide like advertised so they pinch my feet a bit. The support is good though.

I purchased these for work, I'm a restaurant manager on my feet 12/ 14 hours. I love that the shoes are non slip. They have plenty of cushion. The tongue of the shoe is very stiff and cuts into the top of my ankle though, very uncomfortable after a short time.

I needed shoes for nursing school. After doing a crazy amount of research and asking around I was told to check out Hoka. I have flexible flat feet and I overpronate. It was imperative to find comfortable and supportive shoes. My legs, knees, and back all feel the effects of being on my feet all day the first day I wore them, my lower back and glutes were killing me. There is absolutely no cushion or plushness. they are HARD shoes. They also have no give in each step. I am really disappointed. The shoes are really light which is great but I am praying they break in a bit. There is ZERO support for my flat feet and over pronation. Halfway through the day, I could feel the pain in my heels. The tongue and part around my ankles also is so stiff it left a bruise on the front of my ankles. I got the regular wideness and they are still too wide.
