Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

I have arthritis in my feet so my physical therapist recommended I try HOKA. They are very comfortable BUT they do feel huge. Especially in San Francisco with all the stairways of varying height and width. I'm always dreading that my heel is going to catch and splat, I'll be face down on the sidewalk. The inside of the shoe is fine but the outside is huge.

I use my shoes to walk in but they hurt my big toes on both of my feet.

As someone is is flat footed these shoes gave me the best support. They were an amazing shoe for maybe a month. The water resistant leather immediately started peeling off the front of one shoe. Also my size is hardly ever in stock so sending them back was not an option. The shoe was very comfortable but now the make my feet hurt 3 hours into a 10 hour shift. If you plan on keeping these expensive shoes for a long time I suggest getting some types of in soles so that she shoe might last a little longer.

The Bondi SR line needs more color options, my heels and right leg hurt wearing these after a 12 hour nurse shift. I am in my early 20s too so idk why these shoes hurt so bad- I got my correct size and they felt comfortable for a few hours. However, these also looked terrible on. They fit well and were comfortable for most of the shift but at about 3:30pm-5 my feet started to ache. So I returned them by mail back to hoka and got a full refund. I would not recommend these specific shoes but I do recommend HOKA because they stood by their product promise and gave me a refund when I returned these shoes. I may try another style in the future.

it is very comfortable but it's also very bulky/chunky looking,

The color in the picture is white but once I got them they looked purple lavender.

I chose this model as I live in Brazil where streets are dirty and shoes with white soles quickly look ratty. I was eager to try these shoes with black soles and leather uppers, with the expectation that they would be attractive and wear well. I haven't yet worn them because they look so geriatric. I am desperate for more attractive options with dark soles.

Same comfort and support in the footbed and arch, but a higher fit around the ankle, so much so that the shoe was uncomfortably digging into my ankle. Couple that with the non-breathable leather fabric and this was not a good fit for me. Sticking with my regular Bondi 7's for kitchen wear!

I use it for walking and every day. I want to say one thing. I bought a pair of Hoka's in a mall because my feet were killing me, literally. I bought a pair of Cliftons, Light blue with a yellow sole. As soon as I put my foot in them I felt like I was stepping on a cloud and that cloud lasted for a time and then as I wore them the arch came up. I had been dx'd with plantar fasciitis and the shoes I had were painful to wear. I mean painful. So time for new Hoka's and I bought this pair along with the Cliftons. I returned the Cliftons, but what I noticed was that ahhh feeling of padding when I stepped into both of the shoes was not there. So, just a comment. The white which is more beige, is a tad to clunky looking, without the benefit of the padding I experienced the first time I bought your shoes. However, I ordered them first and they are now my go to. However, notes of the padding in the shoes please. It just wasn't the same from the first ones I bought, which totally made me a believer in you. Jury is out because there is competition out there, of whether I would buy from Hoka again or not. I do say, I totally fell in love with my first pair. I didn't feel the same love with the last two I ordered.

I like the support, however, with this shoe being all leather, there is no breathing for my feet. As a result my left foot sweats and my little toe has developed a callus between the toes. Painful at times. However, the shoes do give proper support.

It as mush cushion that I thought it would be.

Shoes are the best by far. Communication from the shipping department is poor, no feedback on shipments and returns.

I was not able to wear these shoes; the medium width was too wide for my feet. I had to return them. I would only recommend these shoes for those with generally wider than standard feet.

Had other Hoka shoes but this shoes feel crooked inside and not quite comfortable.

Too bulky

My first pair of Hoka are a size 9 Clifton 7. They fit perfectly and I really enjoy them however my recent purchase was the Hoka One One, also a size 9. They don't fit the same. Although the base and width feel good, there isn't any toe room and my big toe gets smashed. Unfortunately past the 30 days after wearing them only twice so I can't return.

The shoes look bulky and heavy. They are not heavy at all. It's definitely the support you need. For some reason right in my arch, I have gotten a callus. I have tried several shoes and never have I gotten a callus from wearing them. It's possible I needed an insole, gonna try an insole before I give up on Hoka shoes.

I rotate my shoes: i wear a different pair to work 5 days per week because of plantar fasciitis. These hurt my feet, but not on my heels. They seem to be made for someone with a high arch.

After walking in them all toward the end of my shift the sneakers make a squeaky noise but will keep wearing them even with this annoying noise
