It took over a month to receive. Once I did I tried it out but the way the shoe is made it can make my foot go numb if standing in one spot for too long. If walking for a long time the tough can hurt ankle. The sole of the shoe is good but everything I wear them my feet have to work in the shoe before they are ok to stand. They were very expensive so I expected better results.

Super disappointed in the bondi SR
Immediately caused blisters on the bottom of my pinky toes and the sides of my big toe. Went a half size bigger then normal and still felt extremely narrow . I work as a server sometimes 12 hours a shift and wouldn't recommend these . I did research and thought they would be worth the almost $200 but I will be returning them as they actually made more foot pain and was uncomfortable. I own regular Hoka bondi in the same size and they are way more comfortable then these. They also do not let your feet breathe which is a must for long shifts ....

The product is too heavy. Not highly recommended for walking, standing on a 12 hour shift in healthfield.

Although they fit well and are comfortable, they are very clunky and hot, due to their construction. I purchased these but wanted Clifton L which are no longer available. I am returning and I guess I will purchase the Clifton LS even if they added the gold stuff to them. Just want a black shoe like the Clifton L which were perfect.

This is the 3rd pair of Bondi SRs I've purchased and they are not the same as the other two. I'm on my feet 12+ hours some days and these shoes use to be a godsend but now my pain level has increased in my legs, feet and lower back. I don't know if I'll order them again.

Unfortunately they are not wide like advertised so they pinch my feet a bit. The support is good though.

I purchased these for work, I'm a restaurant manager on my feet 12/ 14 hours.
I love that the shoes are non slip.
They have plenty of cushion.
The tongue of the shoe is very stiff and cuts into the top of my ankle though, very uncomfortable after a short time.

I needed shoes for nursing school. After doing a crazy amount of research and asking around I was told to check out Hoka. I have flexible flat feet and I overpronate. It was imperative to find comfortable and supportive shoes. My legs, knees, and back all feel the effects of being on my feet all day the first day I wore them, my lower back and glutes were killing me. There is absolutely no cushion or plushness. they are HARD shoes. They also have no give in each step. I am really disappointed. The shoes are really light which is great but I am praying they break in a bit. There is ZERO support for my flat feet and over pronation. Halfway through the day, I could feel the pain in my heels. The tongue and part around my ankles also is so stiff it left a bruise on the front of my ankles.
I got the regular wideness and they are still too wide.

Fit was great, comfort better than adequate for 8 hr shifts. Disappointed that, for the price, didn't hold up better: worn patches shortly after purchasing, threads splitting and rubber toe stop separating after a year. True, as a nurse these shoes get a work out, but I only wear them for work.

Only gave it a 3 as it didn't fit me well enough for comfort. Quality is good. Felt almost wide enough for my feet but it was touch material of shoe so potential bunion could have formed if I continued to use it. Good brand though will buy it a half a size higher to see if that works better

From all of the comments from people I’ve met who wear them, I expected them to be the very best most comfortable sneakers I’ve ever worn. This was not the case. My trusty Gravity-Defyer sneakers blow Hoka out of the water. I had to try the Hoka out, but Gravity Defyer sneakers are #1! I wish Zappos sold Gravity Defyers but they are only sold direct on their website.
I do give the Hoka credit for toe room. I have a normal width foot with the exception of my toe region. Hoka has room to spread your toes without the rest of the shoe being too loose. Now if they can just match the cloud comfort of GD.
I'd also recommend:
Gravity-Defyers for sneakers, Dansko clogs, revitalign for sandals

Fit was perfect, shoe was comfortable and light-weight. Purchased for work in hospitals and had to return because they were so squeaky on my floors at home.

I love love love my Bondi 7's, but no more being made (so sad!) so I took a chance that the Bondi SR would be as great. But they were stiff feeling and rubbed my ankles, not very cushy at all. I tried for 2 days but they were just downright uncomfortable. I want my Bondi 7's - please make them again? Why did you mess with perfection???

Restaurant biz isn't easy. These felt really heavy and tight on me after 3 hrs. They are good as non slip and water proof but comfortable you'll need to get a size bigger and insert insoles. For the price maybe there's cheaper ones that will work once adding insoles. Finding 8hts plus shift shoes is hard in general.

Needed Hokas for work that would be more durable than the cloth ones( Im a nurse in the OR). These healthcare Hokas are very rigid and very hot. Feet are sweating within minutes and still haven't broken in with weeks of use. Just uncomfortable and I had high hopes. Generally disappointed and think i'm going to switch back to the cloth type.

The SR were not for me, they are nothing like the Bondi 8. They actually bruised my foot, had to return them and stick with the Bondi or Gaviota. I wanted something that I could wear in the winter and thought the leather would work.

I was hoping these would be a great fit, but alas for a side W my toe bed is too tight and uncomfortable. Disappointed that I have to return for a more comfortable fit.

Much as Bondi8 shoes are my favorites & I wear them everyday, these just did not fit as well as the mesh ones. Obviously, leather often fits differently as that's the nature of leather vs mesh but I did have to send these back due to the arch rubbing my instep on both feet. Plus the plush is not as cushy as I am used to. I wear my Bondi 8's in a size 9.5/W everyday for my 4 mile walks on asphalt in beautiful Colonial Williamsburg, VA.

They fit me as well as other Hoka Bondis I have had in the same size. However the shoes felt too stiff around my ankles. I thought they could work to wear with slacks, but the comfort level was not high enough, nor was it for going on walks, for me.

The attachment points for the tongue of the shoe towards the toe on both sides was quite painful and caused damage. I have exchanged them for the Bondi L and am still waiting for them to arrive.
