Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

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 .

I had to return these shoes. They felt great until I moved! I've had this issue with other shoes. The shoe cut needs to be lower for me. The shoe rubbed the bottom of my ankle.

I bought a pair of these last year and loved them until they started squeaking about 7 months of use. I have orthotics I have to wear. Per your suggestion I tried baby powder and it didn't help at all. I even tried them with my orthotics on top of the original sole pad. So I thought maybe they were worn out so I bought another pair this fall and they started squeaking the first day I wore them. I work in a school and it is embarrassing to walk into a quiet classroom with squeaky shoes on. But these have been the best shoes that have helped me to be able to walk without as much pain all day long.

Not at all what I was expecting comfort wise. These are very stiff and though they are light weight it feels bulky because there is no cushion feeling. I was expecting more softness like the Bondi 8 feeling like clouds. Bought because it's waterproof and it looks very stylish. Plenty of room in toe box: I'm a true 8B leaning A-B. Always am a 8.5 B in all Hokas. Also got the Clifton L Suede and those are much more comfortable. These would be great if you don't care about the stiffness and want a hard core built to last work shoe. Wouldn't recommend for everyday casual use. Wore indoors for 1 week trying to break in but it didn't help. So sad because I loved them on, just wasn't soft enough as I have plantar fasciitis. Will be exchanging for Bondi 8 because I know I will like them.

I wasn't happy with the look or feel of the style of shoe. I had wanted a "solid" upper & not the "mesh" to be able to wear for winter but this shoe was not the one for me.

Absolutely love the leather had a total double foot.Reconstruction surgery needed better support than the Hoka soft uppers. The problem is the placement of a ridge inside the bottom of the tongue of the shoe. It rubs terribly on my operated left foot. Can I wear them doing physical therapy...The rocker bottom is a little unsettling for an ankle that needs to be rehabilitated. As I progress I hope it will become more comfortable. Given the price of the shoe I expected more. Especially since they touted it was such a great recovery shoe. As far as the fit send surgery I am size 8 on one foot and a nine on the other foot.

They hurt the right side of my right foot. There was no give to them as they were made from a firm material

I bought these after a foot surgery in hope they would provide stability. Unfortunately they are big and bulky and do not provide any stability or comfort.

I love the shoe and almost everything about it except my foot kept sliding around inside almost like it was too wide for me and yet it's supposed to be a regular. So unfortunately I'm going to have to send mine back and try and find another shoe somewhere else. It's a shame too because I really was starting to like them.

This is my 3rd pair of the same shoe. This pair has my feet burning at the end of the day. I trying my best to keep wearing them and hopefully they will start to feel better. I feel like they changed the way they made them or forgot to put cushion in these.

This is the third time I have purchased Hokas and the 1st time they haven't worked out for me. The toe box on these is more firm and hurts my toes. It's the right size, just not the right fit. The last pair I bought was the cielo x and I didn't have that problem.

I work in food service. The in soles do not hold up. Had to buy new insoles twice in a year. The outer shell holds up well

I am a nursing student and need WHITE shoes. Ordered these because HOKAs are so widely recommended for comfort especially in the nursing profession. Tried these on at a local store for sizing but they did not have the white color way. Ordered online, excited for them to arrive, only to be disappointed that the WHITE IS NOT WHITE. It is more of a cool gray and cannot even be mistaken as white because the shoe laces, midsole, inside of the shoes are a true white. Other than the color (and inconvenience of having to find an alternate shoe and return process), the shoe is comfortable and true to size. PLEASE HOKA MAKE THESE IN A TRUE WHITE. Also change the name of the color because it is very deceiving.

This was my first pair. I tried to like the shoes, but unfortunately, I had to return them because they were uncomfortable. My feet felt overheated, and there was an overall awkward sensation. The outside cushion seemed fine, providing good support. However, what bothered me was the tongue of the shoes, which caused the tarsals of my feet to hurt and made the area red.

I got these shoes at the end of May for my new Job in the Emergency Room. Once these shoes are broken in they are like walking on clouds. After 12 hour shifts my feet don't hurt at all. They give great support and feel amazing. My only complaint is the durability. For only being a few months old they are showing quite a bit of wear down that I would maybe expect to see after a year. I got a little bit of blood on them as well from starting IVs and it has completely stained the leather. When I tried to clean it off the shoe, the outer material started beading off. I'm back and forth with these shoes, as they are so so comfortable but the durability has been a bit of a let down.
