Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

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!!!

Was excited to see a leather Hoka shoe and ordered these. Unfortunately, after wearing Bondi 9s, these shoes are disappointing - no plush padding, slippery laces that must be double tied, and difficult to get on and off.

I bought these about 6 months ago for my 12 hour healthcare shifts where I'm on my feet all night. At first, they were great although I wish they had better arch support I felt that the thick sole allowed for extra cushion especially with plantar fasciitis pain. However, the support and comfort did not last as long as it should've for the price in my opinion. I only work part time with the occasional pick up shift so typically 2 nights a week and I already have to get new shoes and I'm hesitant on purchasing another pair of hokas because they're so expensive and I had hoped for better longevity.

Hokas are not for everyone. They made my back,legs,knees,and feet hurt. For as expensive as they are they shouldn't do that.

Straight out of the box I noticed a figure eight piece of metal on the left foot string. My first pair and I am wondering what it is, right? Looks like an infinity symbol charm lol. So I am at work, as a nurse, using my RN discount, and I pose the question to peers. What is this thing?? Welp it turns out it is meant to reinforce the inside shoe lace hole!! There is an identical metal piece, where it belongs, in the lace holes on the other side. So it is defective on arrival! Are they comfortable? Yes definitely. Am I impressed with quality control, NO. For the price of your products I am quite disappointed. I will be contacting you for a new pair. I have however shared how comfy and stable they are tho. I preferred to think it was some kind of HOKA logo for $180

They are non-slip for work which is great, but every single little thing sticks to the bottoms of these shoes in the tread. They are very hard to clean the bottoms of them. I work in fast food so everything imaginable is on the soles. Had them a few months. My right foot that I have health issues with is starting to feel crooked.

All the reviews said how amazing this shoes are but the arch support is too much, now I have pain in another part of my foot. They are good but I am not fully convinced.

I bought these online, they felt fine when I put them on initially, but after a few shifts I realized the tongue is quite short and almost digs into the top of my foot. I wish I would have swapped them out for a smaller size and maybe that wouldn't happen. I know for next time. They are slip resistant and great for the restaurant industry.

The fit and feel are amazing. The foot bed is extremely comfortable. The reason I only gave this shoe three stars is because they don't breath. Even though my feet are encased in pure luxury, they don't like being hot. After four hours of walking, at work, I'm ready to take these shoes off. I recommend these shoes in colder climates or if you sit a lot. They are not for active wear.

I WANTED SOMETHING THAT WENT WITH JEANS. FOUND THESE TO OFF COLOR

Purchase fees for work I work in a bakery on cement floors for eight hours a day read up on these. They said that they were good sneakers for this type of work however they don't make much of a difference at all. My feet are still sore.

I loved my Clifton 9s so I ordered these so my feet would stay dry on rainy walking commutes. They didn't fit as well as the regulator Clifton's. There was a very polite customer service person who arranged a return and replacement in a Goretex model. That was what I needed and that works great for longer walking commutes.

These shoes have pros and cons about them. The pros are the waterproof outer shell and the slip resistant soles. The cons is that even ordered wide they still fall short. Not the greatest insoles for this type of shoe. Anyone who has feet issues needs to carefully consider not getting this shoe. Unless you have to have this type of shoe for the everyday, do not consider!

This shoe was not as expected for me, but - i was not using it as a restaurant shoe. For me it would have been a daily shoe and was not what I needed. Howevee; I could see how it would have been a sturdy and durable restaurant shoe.

The shoes are very comfortable, but in just a couple of wears they are very run down and no amount of cleaning is making them look any better. For the price of these shoes, they should not look so dirty and run down after only a couple of wears.

I love these shoes. They are everything they say. My feet do not hurt for hours. They are slip resistant as said and I got wide. Fit perfectly. However, I've only had them a few months and they are coming apart already :( I work at Starbucks. Don't know how they are coming undone already. Very sad. Will either have to purchase another pair soon or go somewhere else.

I love my new hoka shoes so very comfortable and not heavy at all it's like I'm not wearing anything, very good for every day wear

Normally I wouldn't have purchased this shoe, but I was working briefly in the food service industry and needed a non-slip shoe. It works fairly well for that, but the leather upper was very uncomfortable and rubbed my feet raw. I have a bunion so I love Hoka in most cases, but this shoe wasn't great for that issue. It has never seemed to loosen up much even though I have tried it for other walking situations. Only ok compared to other ones

I like the Hoka brand and have a few pair and have purchased them for family and friends. My friend works on her feet ALL day 10-12 hours a day for 5 or 6 days a week. Unfortunately these shoes last 3 months and I purchased two pair at a time so you rotates them daily. She only wears them to work because of the expense.Last year I purchase 4 pair. It's not that the shoe isn't comfortable and she loves them because they help with the pain of being on her feet but they fall apart. For the price it's hard to recommend a great shoe that falls apart in three months.

I might have chosen the wrong style but the Bondi SR is too big/cumbersome for my feet. The upper lace tie rubs on my arch/ankle area while walking and leaves marks. If I loosen it then I don't have the full fit. Also, my feet are on the thin side so they float inside of these which doesn't feel comfortable. They were a gift so I have to keep them but I keep putting my old sneaks back on each time I go walking or running instead of these :(

I'm a cosmetologist, the stability is great, but I prefer the softer ones.

I have a lot of pain on a daily basis and I expected these shoes to help with some of it, but they didn't. They never felt good on my feet and now they just hurt my feet when I wear them.

this second pair i wasn't satisfy they didn't feel comfortable at all I sent it back and still the same thing I have been a Value Customer to this COMPANY CHECK MY RECORD HOW MANY SHOES I HAVE PURCHASED

I do like the Hoka brand and shoes are great for first few months, but I'm on my feet a lot and they wear out too fast.

I bought these for work but after trying them out at home for less then 2 hrs my heels started hurting because I have heel spurs in both feet. These were not as "plush" as my Bondi 9. So I did an exchange for another pair of Bondi 9 running shoes and no problem. Everyones feet are different for different shoes. I just wish the SR model was as plush as the Bondi 9 model.
