Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

These shoes were perfect when I first bought them. I work in an animal shelter, cleaning and walking dogs so I needed something non slip, water resistant, good for indoors and outdoors, and most of all comfortable for being on my feet all day. These shoes checked all those boxes and were the only shoes I have found that don't leave my feet aching at the end of an 8 hour day. However, the shoes feel apart a little too fast for my liking. The water resistant was the first to go which was annoying but manageable. However then the whole shoes started falling apart in only a few months. I've had these around 6 months and they're nearly unwearable now. The leather is completely torn and ripping off the sole. It feels like my feet are going to rip out of them at any given moment. For a nearly 200$ price tag I was hoping to get a little more use out of these but they're completely trashed at this point.

The shoe itself looks adorable, but it's very stiff. I'll have to wait on my return to repurchase and see how they break in, which I would recommend doing with very, very thick socks. The toe box is more narrow then your average shoe compared to sketchers, clove, and ON shoes. So, my first try on was disappointing and not the cushioned experience listed in the shoes description. I'm hoping to try the same size in wide after my return, whenever they restock the wide shoe colors. Of course bring water proof they're not breathable, but as a nurse I'd prefer that over the exposure to any fluids.

Purchased this shoe for work, 12-hour shifts in nursing, the first day felt pretty good. I did have to keep adjusting the tongue as it was hard and uncomfortable against my foot. The next day the inside of the shoe was rubbing the side of my feet, very uncomfortable. However the support and comfort of the sole were great. Give them a try, you may have better luck!

I wanted to live these shoes and, to be fair, they may fit a very specific type of need, like healthcare wear there are liquid messes. For my purposes, they are stiff, and last like. With that, they do not fit my needs. I have an ankle injury that requires support but cannot be rigid, so they rub all the wrong areas. Definitely well made though and can see them lasting a long while.

I like the shoes but its to small for me. I forgot to put the Wide part on my order

I will be returning for a bigger size.

I wear a size 10... I normally buy here and get a10.5... the last 2 pairs were great shoes... this one was very tight and my toes were at the top of the shoe!... returned and didn't want to exchange... might be back to get something else...

Purchased this shoe for the slip resistance but this Bondi does not have enough cushioning for arthritic feet. I had to return.

Sorry I tried to break In the shoe but the continued stiffness began affecting my knee so need to return . The SR Bondi is not as cushioned as the regular Bondis I own .. :(

These shoes are very very comfortable, but they definitely fit tighter than other Hoka brands. I really wish I had sized up half a size. Since I wore them to work before realizing they were squeezing too much it was too late to exchange them. Sad I spent so much for them to fit small. If a little bigger they would perfect.

chunky shoes and puts strain on the ankles. I felt less fatigue at work and didn't need any energy drink to get through the day.

I work on concrete all day and on my feet for 15+ hrs a day so have been in search of a special shoe. A lot of my coworkers wear Hoka's so thought I would try the brand. The Bondi SR looked like it would be that extra comfort for my plantar fasciitis. They help but aren't great. Not worth that high of a price tag. Will not be reordering.

They are not all day shoes, but maybe because the leather hasn't broken in yet. I was expecting more cushion for the price, I was disappointed in that area it's almost like walking in flats. The stability is very stable. The loop on the heel is of no use because the back of the shoe goes inside when you slip it on. I got them because I needed a up grade from my last Hoka pair because the mesh was letting my foot slid off the front of the shoe. They need more support that for sure. But my foot is very stable and that is important because I had surgury on my ankle. I'm just upset with paying so much for a shoe that didn't live up to the brand. It's a beautiful shoe but I need more inside.

I'm wearing the Hoka Bondi SR sneakers every dy. The right one is comfortable but there is stress along the outside of my left foot, so the product isn't supportive there. The sneakers are leather, so heavy, and I woul like them better if they were mesh. They are also tight across the instep, but are loosening up as I wear them more.

Look like a man's shoe I'm looking for a woman's black tennis shoe with

Got these for my mom. The lining along the ankle rubs against her foot causing a little blister. May just be a break in period.

I love the idea of water and slip resistant and they come in wide. They were perfect sounding for clinical and for work right now. I have wide feet, but they were wide where I needed them. I could feel the edge of the insole at my heel and start of my arch, due to being flat footed. Also, the bottom of the shoes due to the design made any hair or dry dirt collect and stick in the small cracks, actually making the shoes feel slippery. I'm sure in wetter conditions it wouldn't be a problem, but with dry dirt this is an issue. I work in both sometimes. I really appreciate the idea, but the design needs a little adjusting. And if you have a wider heel and are flat footed like me, it may not be the right fit.

I've purchased these shoes for work multiple times, and there's a reason for that because they feel so good. However, this time they feel defective. I've been braking them in for a few weeks now and after and during their wear they're killing my feet.

I recently was gifted a new pair of these shoes, size 7.5 and white in color. I love them. So..I ordered another pair, same style, same size, just black instead of white. They were significantly smaller than the first pair. So much so that I couldn't wear them without pain. Strange that only the color was different but the size was the same and yetthe black pair were much smaller. With the amount I spent, it is frustrating. So, I gave them to my daughter and will save up for another try. Will order a half size larger I guess.

My podiatrist recommended these for my Plantar Faciitis so I invested the money, but it barely helped at all. I put gel inserts in to cushion my heel a bit, which was better, but I honestly felt relief wearing Oofos flip flops instead.

I had high hopes for these shoes. I wore them for a few hours in the house and had difficulty performing everyday tasks while wearing them. I bought size 6B, the soles were so wide, I was tripping over my own feet. When I stood with my feet together, with the shoes on, they were as wide as my hips. I understand that they should help with balance and I guess they would be okay if you were only wearing them for walking. They did feel good from the mid foot back to heel, but the toe bed was extremely wide. I might try a different model if I can find a pair in a store to try on first .

The bottom support on these shoes was great unfortunately the tongue of shoe felt like it was digging into to of foot even when laces were loose. I did exchange them for a different pair process was very easy.

They are definitely not as comfortable as the Clifton9 hokas I have. They are heavier and much more stiff. The only nice thing about them is they can be wiped clean. I've noticed walking around at my job at a clinic, they squeak, all the time.

Not very pleased with this show considering the price. My toes go numb and bit heavy and uncomfortable .
