These save my feet. I do 13000 steps per day at work and I am on my feet for 8hrs at a time.They are like walking on clouds. I have tried every shoe possible for work(Docs, Danskos, Ascics).These are by far the best.I have high arches and these provide the best support.If you have a flat foot you won't like them. But for me they work perfectly!

I was excited to finally try a pair of Hoka shoes. I brought them specifically for work as I needed nonslips and something good to be on your feet all day. I originally ordered a 9.5 but exchanged them for a 9 because they were a little too big and making my feet hurt. Well my feet and my knees are worse, I've worn them for about 3 months thinking I needed to break them in but to no avail, it makes my knee pain worse than what it usually is. I'll just stick to Brooks.

Originally I thought the shoes were uncomfortable because I needed to break them in. Fast forward 5 months later, they're definitely broken in and my feet are still screaming by the end of the day. Granted I'm on my feet ALL DAY, however I have a few pairs that I much prefer over these. Yes it's amazing when it comes to being nonslip. You can run on kitchen grease with no issue but the material is so stiff and unforgiving. Not only that but arch support is majorly lacking. I've tried numbers insoles etc but it's still mediocre compared to others especially since they are on the pricier side. I've gone back to my more affordable, extremely comfortable, will fall and busy my ass, old work shoes. 2 stars for the awesome nonslip/water resistant part. 0 for every other category, which is a shame because I was extremely excited about these and tried to love them for so long. Very disappointed HOKA.

Very hard do not recommend. I’ve had them for almost a year and they’re still very hard with no support.

The fit was slightly too long. The width was comfortable, but they made my actually "biggish widish" feet look enormous!. I can't!

I'm a restaurant manager, I stay on my feet for 12 hour shifts and I am all over the place. I have seen a major improvement in my foot health since purchasing these shoes. In the last four months I did wear them out but I have never experienced less pain in my feet and knees. These shoes are the one!

When I first walked in them felt like on a cloud. A lot of toe room if you get wide they are plenty wide a little big. Are they supposed to hurt a little? So worth it will update review in a month Lord Willing.

The topline and tongue of the shoe is too high causing tightness and discomfort to the top of the foot.

I learned my lesson when I shopped around and caused a flair up of my plantar fasciitis. I can wear these in the regular and wide, but for me the wide last twice as long. I'm so thankful I found a shoe that works just as hard as I do.

I've had severe plantar fasciitis to the point where I could barely get out of bed in the morning. The arch pain was relieved by not wearing sandals temporarily, but the heal pain lingered on. I found Hokas online and it sounded like it would give me the relief in the heel which it did greatly. I still couldn't go for walks very often without several days of recovery. I went back to the online Hoka site and found the professional grade shoe which could give me the stability I needed for my arthritic knee and the perfect amount of support and cushion. It's amazing how good my feet feel!

I've had these shoes for almost a year. These are the hardest shoes I've worn they do not break in and they have no support given the fact that they are a hoka. Nothing about them is soft. They are so stiff. If you are in the medical field, do not buy you are only paying for the fact that they are waterproof now I am fixing to have to buy more shoes for Clinicals.

Love these, hope they continue to make them for a long time. A little squeaky so maybe they can improve that but these are very comfortable and it's so hard to find quality sneakers in a wide width.

I have used this shoe throughout both nursing school clinicals and now for years working as a nurse. I never have any pain after my 12-hour shifts; they are so comfortable. I love that they are wipeable. Please come out with more colors!

People have managed to pull tongues out without an uncomfortable anchor in the shoe for.... convenience? If this were a running shoe, not a work shoe, I can see this might be a useful feature. Quality is not what it used to be. Not very plush, hard interior not plush cushion as advertised, that feature went away along with the Bondi 6/7/8. Would really like to see tongue anchor go away permanently and bring back the cushioning.

The inside has become less plush and the outside is so stiff to make the shoe nearly unbearable to wear. It feels like a brick on my foot. I use it to mow the grass now. Changing to a different shoe does not work and certainly does not excuse the lack of quality. Have to have black, no slip, leather shoes. These no longer fit the bill. Surely someone out there will see the Bondi 6 with its plush interior and medium soft leather exterior was THE shoe. Just because you can change something does not mean you should. BTW, I have returned more of your shoes than I have kept in recent years. Proof it is your quality and not my feet that have changed. Actively looking to replace the brick with a new comfortable shoe.

I work 6 days a week doubles. Do yourself, your feet, and most importantly your back and your knees a favor, and buy these shoes. I just ordered my second pair. My first pair lasted me 11 months. Break them in for the first week or so, and then you're flying for the rest of their time.

These are very comfortable and supportive for my wide feet with bunions and fallen arches. I can walk for miles in these so I don’t mind they are pretty chunky looking. I wear orthotics inside a size wide. These are my third pair. So glad they keep making them and in wide. I love that they are water resistant so they are great travel shoes for any kind of weather!

The shoes is very comfortable for someone who is walking for more than 12 hours during work in retail, I got the black one and fined it easy to clean it, I'm 7.5 women I got my size but I wished it was a little bit bigger, the only thing is that it is not fashionable sneakers, it doesn't compliment your outfit and feels bulky specially for women

I work in a chemical lab, so am required to wear leather shoes. After a bout with cancer , I have chemo induced neuropathy in my feet. I needed something with a wider toe box that didn’t squeeze my toes, but narrow enough to stay on my skinny foot. The Bondi was the best shoe I found. And have worn them for years.
Why oh why did they change it?
I was excited because I had some new color choices. But….
The SR (slip resistant) is different. Something about the sole has changed, and not for the better. Fits okay, but the support is harder/stiffer, and my feet and legs are just aching at the end of the day.
I keep going back to my Bondi 8. But eventually I will wear them out.
I am now having to hunt for new shoes again.
I hope Hoka sees this ..

I've bought this style twice now and I love the cushion, stable platform (I don't mind the chunky look), and the leather upper. It stays white longer than fabric styles and I can use them in the rain. The only reason for the 4 stars is the longevity of the heel fabric. The heel fabric of my first pair wore down so much a hole formed and whatever plastic piece that got exposed literally cut me. I still bought another pair because no one makes anything similar (white, leather upper, max cushion) that's just as comfortable out of the box.

I had heard coworkers talk about these shoes for months....too expensive for me, and I thought too much hype, so I stuck with my Sketchers, which were killing my feet and body, but I didn't believe any shoes were better. Until my IT band started causing so much pain down into my ankle and up into my glute that I wasn't sure I could finish the shift. I'm on my feet 15 to 17 hours a day, and I really had to take it seriously when I had a hard time walking. I tend to supinate, and I hadn't found a shoe that would help with that, even if they said they did. I had the same issue with insoles. The Hoka's have a wide base (sole) which limits supination, and I would suppose it's the same for pronation. They are comfortable (I got the wide), which I need given that my feet naturally swell the last five hours I'm on them. The support and stability is incredible. I have high arches that have started to fall, but these shoes give alot of support without causing pain. I'm sorry I waited so long and spent money on cheaper shoes that couldn't match this. They are wide, boats if you will, but who cares? They work! It's worth a try. My feet are 9.5 wide, and that's exactly what I got, and it's perfect. If you have issues with your feet, make the investment sooner than I did. You won't be sorry.

I absolutely LOVE these shoes!! I was already hooked on HOKA sneakers as the only shoe I’ll wear because of my difficulty walking (MS, foot drop), but these by far surpass any of the rest! I no longer have foot drop when I’m wearing these??? I don’t understand it either, but they do feel amazing on my feet, and fit my brace and foot orthotic perfectly! Wow, is all I can say. They are worth the extra price because my foot isn’t dragging on the floor nearly as much so I expect them to last longer!!

I've had these shoes not even one full year and they are falling apart. The bottom of the sole is coming unattached from the rubber bottom and parts of the top are peeling off very badly. I do wear these shoes regularly, but not in such harsh conditions that I think they should be breaking after only 10 months of use.
