Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

I bought these shoes to use on my clinical rotations for PA school. If you get anything on them and wipe them with soap and water the white leather turns a gray/blue color. I have only had them for a month or two and I already hate wearing them. They look so dirty.

They are not as comfortable as all the rave reviews, so I'm a bit disappointed . They also make a weird squeaking noise when I am walking around at work, which lets everyone know I am coming, which is embarrassing. I definitely want to return. The toe cap or the front of the shoe is wide which does give plenty of room in that area it was just the cushioning that everyone has raved about that wasn't there for me. I've been wearing them to work to try and break in as some reviewers suggested but still nothing except that constnat odd squeak when I walk. But they are more confortable than any pairv of N*k*'s I've tried so I am not giving up on Hoka's yet.

I am going to start with the things I love about this shoe. They are able to be cleaned easily. I do love the color. I was buying bondi 7 and 8 shoes and they were unavailable during the time I was looking to buy new shoes so I utilized the shoe finder. I put in all my specifications and it recommended this shoe. They do not support your arch and they are kind of uncomfortable. I only wear them 3 days per week. I have plantar faciatis and the lack of arch support is why my feet hurt right now. I had to buy a pair of inserts because of the lack of arch support. I would not recommend this shoe.

Bought the sneakers and have been generally really pleased with them. I love the height. I love the stability. Although truth be told they have not held up well. Every time I walk the sneakers squeak. It's actually pretty embarrassing. Additionally, the tiny piece of Rubber upfront has lifted up. I have normal wear and tear on the sneaker and that should not have happened. Both issues (this squeaking. And the craftsmanship upfront) would make me pause before purchasing again.

When I first put them on they are very comfortable and they feel like walking on an anti-fatigue mat. But then, by the end of my 8 hour shift, my calves, ankles, hips, and low back all hurt. I tried giving them time to break in. I've tried different insoles, but nothing works after wearing them I'm in pain for days on the couch with ice packs. Unfortunately it's been a couple months and I can't return them, wasted almost $200.

I used for working but it's not comfortable

I have previously worn the Bondi Sr shoes for work. I am a waitress/server. I have gone thru 2 pairs and they have been great. However I don't feel the new ones are made with the same material and quality. They are made in a different country than my previous ones. They are stiff and plastic looking and feeling. I could not continue to wear them they hurt my feet and even caused pain in my knees. I have returned them and very disappointed that they seemed to be no longer a fit for me.

I've been ordering these shoes for a couple of years and they've been pretty good. However, the support seems to give out a lot earlier that before. This new pair feels so different from the others. Are they being manufactured somewhere else?

This is my third pay of Hoka shoes. I love my other two. I bought this pair for work. Today is the first day I've had them on. They are very painful around the bottom of my leg - where it becomes the ankle. It's not that they are not too big, because I bought them a size larger so I could wear socks with them, and to account for swelling. I feel like I've just wasted $175. If I could return them, I would, but I've worn them outside. Such a disappointment.

The product is well made, but for me -no. I need cush in the ball of my foot and this style did not offer that.

I have been wearing Bondi 8 Hokas since August of 2023. I raved about this shoe. In fact, I could not wear any other shoe. Unfortunately, those wore out within a year. Somehow I managed to keep them white despite their strong desire to turn yellow, but my toes still began to work their way through the fabric and my soles wore down to almost nothing. I bought this style as a gift to myself for passing the NCLEX. They clean easier and are nonslip. I thought this would be perfect for nursing. However, as a former clinical technician I could barely stand at the end of my first RN shift. These shoes are horribly uncomfortable in comparison to the Bondi 8's. The specs were so promising, but overall I need something more comfortable. I'm super disappointed in this purchase.

I followed the sizing. I wear a 5 in an Ugg / 36 European. They were laced completely. I wasn't concerned since leather tends to stretch a bit. But I toed out. The width may stretch but not likely the length. I had to wait for the shipment to return. I've been waiting weeks for back order.

I haven't even had these shoes for a month and they are already coming apart. Would say they are comfortable for the amount of walking I do but can't believe the quality.

My fist pair of these were a dream. After about a year with some good mileage on them the left foot started stabbing me on the top of my foot. Just got my second pair. Did not feel the same dream like cushion when putting these on. After 4 days of wearing them I'm in agony. Don't know if they did something different but these shoes are way too expensive to be malfunctioning.

Had a black pair that was awesome. The most comfortable shoe ever. They are no longer slip resistant after a year and a half but the shoe is still in amazing condition. So I bought a white pair. They suck so much. No cushion and very narrow. No my other pair are not wide width. So I returned them and am going to get another black pair. Haven't received them yet. Hopefully they are as amazing as the pair I have now. If not I will return those to and find another company for my slip resistant shoes.

I bought these shoes to replace my Hoka Bondi 7's. I love these shoes but they were finally wearing out and needed replacing. I saw the Bondi SR on line and thought it was like my Bondi 7's. I did not notice the tops of them were not soft and have stretchy mesh until I received them. I normally wear a size 9 1/2 but they are stretched and so I ordered a size 9. The Bondi SR are hard on the tops, do not breathe and nor stretch at all. They kill my feet. They are for professional use but I didn't know what that meant when I ordered them. I also bought another pair in a pale blue color, same size and again had no idea they were hard, uncomfortable shoes. But they are a nice looking shoe, just not for me.

Had a black pair that were like walking on a cloud. Why do the exact same shoes but in white suck so much? They are hard. Like no cushion at all.

Found these shoes to be hard soled and uncomfortable. After reading multiple reviews I guess I expected them to be comfy. The top of the shoe was stiff around the ankle and actually hurt after a while. Perhaps I did not do enough research but I did not expect my reaction,. I returned them

i did not like the shoes, i am sending them back for a return

Shoe is too hard. Hurts my feet. The sole is soft and plush but the other parts will hurt. Top of your feet and toes will hurt. Not comfy at all for long wear. Wore it for 2 days and now I have regrets.

Initially they were comfortable, but they started to cause my feet and legs to hurt! The sides of my feet hurt, and when I sit down after standing all night, getting up to walk again, feels like I have bricks on my feet! I purchased these shoes because ai work standing on my feet all night! I wish I could get a refund, but they started hurting my feet just outside of the 60 days! Ugggghh!

Not as comfortable as I thought they would be! Will not buy them again!
