Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

I purchased for working in food service. But unfortunately my feet and ankles and knees and hips hurt almost as bad as with my old shoes.

I was expecting the cushioning to be exceptional, providing hours of daily comfort. ...based on the appearance of the shoe, which looks like your sitting on a tower of foam. It's good, but not amazing or exceptional. I'll save myself quite a bit of money and buy a standard athletic walking shoe, one where I can replace the inserts as they flatten out. As it is, these shoes provide immediate comfort that diminishes as the day goes on. I'm removing them by noon.

I needed a softer and more pronation controlling shoe, so I had to return these shoes. They were a little on small side for my big feet.

I like the product but it's wearing so quick. The back has worn down on one of the sides and I've had them for a month.

The first time I put them on and wore them around the house, they felt pretty comfortable and I thought okay these might just work. But the longer I had them on I wasn't sure. So I took them off for a few hours. Later in the day I decide to wear them while I did my work out. Got on the tread mill selected a 2 mile walk-hike. Could not wait to be done and get the shoes off. Following weekend decide to try them on the tread mill again this time for a 2 mile walk-run, not at all a comfortable run compared to my Brookes' running shoes. So, the following weekend decide to try them on a 2mile outdoor walk. They were okay still not the most the comfortable shoe. I so wish I would have saved the boxes. would not buy again.

Hoka is loosing me and I have tried to stay loyal. It is just impossible. This latest purchase feels awful. I would rather have wet feet.The new average foot must be round or square. Narrow does not exist. Reissue Stinson 3 road shoe and I will buy a dozen pairs. No joke.

They have no girly too them. The shoe overall is very comfortable just not for me.

After I had for 2 weeks I feel like, my right foot shoe has small then Another side One side bigger and one small I am not happy with it

Bought these because I am on my feet for 8hrs a day, and needed comfort but I really expected more from these. They have no arch support and gave me a callus I've never had

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.

These run large. I have bought the bondi probably 8 times. I know my size. I ordered the leather Sr expecting it to fit the same as all the others. However, they are too long, too wide & heavy. I didn't return them because I had worn them to work already. As the padding wears in they getting even looser on my feet. I'm not pleased

As a server, I would not recommend getting this particular shoe. The main issue with this style is that the shoe is way too narrow and there's simply not enough toe room for it to be comfortable to stand/walk in for 10 plus hours. Another issue is with the very high arch support (this is coming from someone with pretty high arches). This combination with narrow fit is so uncomfortable (made my foot so sore at the end of the day). My last issue with this particular style is the breathability. My feet cannot breathe in this shoe. If you decide to keep this shoe, make sure to buy good socks because your feet will sweat alot.

I work on my feet for 8-10 with no break 5 days out of the week. I needed a show that supported me and for a month, this shoe was it. About a month in, I started experiencing the worst heel pain I've ever experienced. I would wear other shoes when going about my casual day to day, I would never experience any foot pain. The SECOND I put on my Hoka's, my feet are killing me. My coworkers were all considering buying Hoka's around the same time as me, I bit the bullet first. Safe to say that I did not recommend these shoe's, they are see and hear how much pain I am in.

I previously bought a pair of these in gray and they were extremely comfortable and supportive, if not awee fit too roomy in wide. They were getting a little ratty so I purchased a new pair in the peach whip color in a regular width. They really pinched my toes and f et lt far stiffer than my gray ones, so I did an exchange to 9 wires. They were a bit roomier in the toe box but still I pinched my feet and just felt too tight. I was going to try an exchange to an extra wide but they were sold out. Then I tried on a new pair of 9 wides in gray that I purchased at the same time as the peach. Perfect fit and much wider in the tie box! Something is wrong with these shoes in the new colors that Hoka should investigate. Too many are complaining they are tight and uncomfortable and that was never the case worth this model. I am exchanging my peach ones for another pair of the gray. Please look into the fit! I do not know if the size or width was tweaked with the newer colors but they are definitely not the same as the gray ones.

I gave a review , loved past Hokas saved my job but bondi sr is painful! They feel great for an hour or so then agony! They are hard ! Not true to size and rub big toe and pinky! No cushion at all! I truly regret them and just saw the guarantee , take it! They don't break in or spread or give like the ones with mesh, or normal leather they are hard molded! I have flat feet and it's like bone on bone in these. Go up a half size also, I'm 7.5 but last time got an 8 way to big in another style, I wore two pairs of socks ! Better than one pair in a 7.5 ( they were out of 7.5s then)

Sadly, I cannot recommend these shoes. They make a noise when walking in them. I think I saw this mentioned in a review prior to purchasing but disregarded. I've owned many pairs of HOKA shoes and have been very satisfied overall. This one is a dud. I've worn these outdoors for last ten days and creaking noise just started. Going to see about returning, but as I said they've been worn outside 25 miles or so.

I got these for a 12 hour shifts, they are not comfortable at all. Working 3 12s in a row trying to wear these is unbearable. After 3 hours on my feet, I wished I would've gotten different shoes. I wanted to like these so bad because of the cost, but they aren't comfortable for long wear time.
