Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

The shoe could be perfect. But the foam heel on the inside completely deteriorates after several months, rendering the entire shoe unwearable. It's extremely disappointing because this is otherwise a great shoe. But it can't withstand everyday wear which is

I found it too bulky and does not fit. I will probably try the Clifton.

Does not fit right on my feet

The shoe was attractive but very heavy for me to walk in. I would recommend them for someone else since they are well made. For me I will be traveling and walking distance and just felt they were to heavy for what I needed.

I love they are for sure non slip. The bulk of the shoes and the heal has me getting used to, to still get comfortable. I do think the bulk is putting more pressure on my knee than expected.

2nd time wearing them and I can see the toe rubber is starting to peel from one of the shoes. Other then that, I love the way the feel after being kn my feet all day. Game changer.

These Bondi SR is not as cushy and comfortable as the Bondi 8. I wore it to walk my dogs for 1.4 miles in the morning for 4 days and it was uncomfortably on both my arches. The entire leather is too hard on my feet and uncomfortable to walk. I thought it would be better than Bondi 8 due to the positive reviews I read. Not on my feet. I have a Clifton 9 for a year now and they are comfortable when I walk my dogs. I prefer it over my Bondi 8.

Hoka needs to offer widths wider than D. EE and EEEE would be helpful.

Comfortable until you have to walk. Fit was good but my feet hurt very badly after the first few hours. Returning these and trying a different style. Fingers crossed!

I bought because I was told it would help my feet from being in pain working/walking on concrete floor at my work. My feet still hurt with the shoes.

I can only wear Hokas (Mach 5) to work. My feet don't tolerate other brands. I was expecting the cloud cushion like all my other Hokas, but I feel like these are a lot stiffer. I was very disappointed as I was excited for water resistant versus the fabric.

I'm a licensed hairdresser, and purchase these shoes to help with my feet and back. I haven't had any changes to my problem. Can recommend another shoe? Can I get a refund?

When I first purchased these shoes a few years back, I loved them! But now, in the recent year or so, they've only been okay. They definitely aren't lastly very long anymore. It's been 5 months since I've bought my last pair and honestly I've needed a new pair since month 4 (I work in the restaurant business). If you aren't on your feet all the time, these shoes would probably do better for you.

My second pair of Hoka the first ones are falling apart but very comfortable and this water resistant are so hard it hurts. Had to return them.

Everyone kept raving about how amazing Hokas are for nursing. The shoe quiz suggested these to me so I decided to try them. They were AWFUL. Extremely hard and flat inside, they are so wide I kept tripping on my own feet, and they always just felt not quite stable while I was walking. Everyone kept telling me to give it more time and that they will break in. Well, they don't break in. They are too hard and do not mold to your feet at all. I wore them for about 6 months and finally had to stop because I tripped and almost fell on someone. So, needless to say, I never got to return them, but I would definitely not suggest these.

I'm a longtime fan of Hoka, and of the Bondi model in particular. I walk my dogs in an off-leash 144 acre former golf course. It's absolutely beautiful and we go every morning at sunrise regardless of the weather. I bought these Hokas hoping they would provide some protection from damp dew-laden grass. I only crosss the grass when the old cart paths don't connect. My socks and feet were wet at first contact with the grass. What a waste of money! I hope HOKA will eventually develop a truly waterproof Bondi in both regular width & in wide. (There are no waterproof wide shoes at all.). I love the nice colors, but I had to buy KURUs and MERRELs for waterproof walking shoes.

The Bondi is a big wide shoe with a high platform. My foot feels snug in the shoe, but when I walk the shoe feels weighty and clunky. I almost tripped a few times. I need a lighter shoe, but still stable enough because I have flat feet.

Wasn't able to wear the shoes due to a defective ankle support

These last set has a problem with the right foot! The tongue kept sliding over your point where I had to miss a day of work cuz it was crushing the top of my foot that has a previous injury and I could barely walk!! I ended up having to sew one side of the tongue down to be able to wear them and they still kind of hurt on that foot.

Purchased these shoes for clinicals because of a recommendation from a friend. Worst 12 hours of my life every time I wore them. They were very painful and half way through my shifts I started limping due to the pain. Bending my foot created a pressure point on the shoe to form on top of my foot. I have flat feet and my arches were always aching. Bottom part of the shoes are wider so I would trip over them. I stuck with them until nursing school was over because I wasn't going to pay for another expensive pair of shoes. The tongue also kept slipping to the side and created another pressure point on my foot. I will say they were easy to clean, held up well being kept outside, and even went to another nursing student friend for her clinicals. Well made - no frills or areas falling apart. Would no recommend them for people with flat feet. My friend who also experiences the same foot problem has the same issue with the shoes. I have another friend who loves these shoes but they have high arches.

I really wanted to love these, but had to return. It might just be my anatomy or the material may be too rough or both, but the top inner piece of the shoe was rubbing against my ankle and after a 12hr shift, it was painful, gotten swollen, and I was limping at the end of it. The bondi 8 works better for me.
