Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

Too bulky,

I like the look of the shoe, but they aren't comfortable for me. I'm on my feet 7.5 hrs a day as a teacher assistant. This brand was recommended to me by a friend for plantar fasciitis. I've never been to an orthopedic doc yet so that may not be my problem. So it's not the shoe, just my feet!

Too wide

I got my shoes yesterday and they are very comfortable, however they are not slip-resistant, I've owned many pairs of slip-resistant shoes, and these aren't even close, I almost fell and busted my skull at work today. Considering I purchased the shoes for work, it was a big waste of money for me. However, if you don't need slip-resistant shoes, I will say, they feel good on your feet.

After hearing such great things about HOKA, I was excited when my Bondi SRs finally arrived. However, after a couple of days of wearing them around my house, I realized that they were not the shoes for me. The style is super cute and they're clearly well-made, but I think the padding was shaped in a way that was uncomfortable on the soles of my feet. I tried the Bondi 8 and had the same discomfort. Plenty of people swear by this brand, so I'd still say they're worth trying. But don't feel like you're the only one if they don't work for you!

These shoes were so bulky they made my feet look huge! I felt like I had clown feet. They were really comfortable though.

I Love how there are water repellent and slip resistant. But I have bad feet and need that cushion and it's just not there. I thought that they would have the same cushion as the Bondi 6 by the description on the web but I am sadly disappointed.

Tongue is too short and narrow for the size of the shoe. This means there isn't sufficient padding for the top of the foot and the grommets for the laces rub the foot. Laces are too short and don't stay tied. My feet always slide forward in them. They look nice though.

Will wear for work as thry fit my needs but certainly not as comfortable as my other hoka. Toe box feels really big. Otherwise they fit well.

I get blisters every time I wear. I thought I would get used to them, but have not

The first pair of Hokas I purchased were not leather and I simply loved them. I use them for work everyday as a nurse. I decided to buy the leather ones and for some reason, they are much less comfortable. It feels as though the leather shoes have a thick plastic sole, and the fabric ones have a heavy foam sole and it makes a big difference in comfort. So, I will buy Hakas again, but white fabric.

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.
