Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

All I want is a very black shoe to wear with my black pants. I do not want designs that make it look gray. I want it to look sleek and unnoticeable

I bought these shoes to wear for my 12+ hour nursing shifts. I was really excited to get them. By the end of my first shift, the tongue of the shoe had rubbed the top/inner part of my foot completely raw. I repositioned it many many times throughout the day in hopes to get some relief, but it didn't help. I even opened the shoe all the way up, loosened the laces, and stretched the ankle part out, but unfortunately it did not help. I even taped a foam bandage to my foot to try and stop the rubbing, but this seemed to make it worse. I wore them 1 day and sent them back. They were cute though.

The shoes were comfortable but wider than I wear.

I have four pairs of Hokas and have even bought them as gifts for family. I loved my Bondi 7s the most and wanted an all-white pair that was water-resistant for a trip to Europe, so the Bondi SRs seemed to be the perfect choice. I took them out on my daily hour-long walks and I noticed that afterward, my right heel would feel sore. I chalked it up to my feet just needing to get used to the shoes. When decision time came to which two pairs of shoes I would take on my two-week Prague and Budapest trip, I could not risk sore feet so I opted for another pair of all-white waterproof shoes shoes along with another water-repellent pair of black ones (I averaged 16-22K steps each day). I had no issues with my shoes so I was really happy with my choices. Now that I've been home for five days, I wanted to give my Bondi SRs another chance so I wore them to run errands and go for my walks and unfortunately, my feet (specifically my right heel) are sore again. I wish I had acted sooner but now I'm well beyond the 30-day window, so these shoes are going to go back in their box and sit on the shelf. I am really bummed because I really wanted to like these shoes. I'm hoping you can replicate what the Bondi 7s feel like (I would wear them multiple days in a row at Disneyland and have had no problem but the tread is worn out so they've been retired from the regular rotation). So much promise but unfortunately, these are not the answer to my Bondi 7s.

I was so excited to get this shoe until it came in the wrong color. It felt great on but I needed a white shoe not a pale blue shoe.

The top of my foot hurts very badly.

I am a big fan of Hoka but disappointed with this time purchase. It looks good but if you are looking for 4/5 hours in feet comfort then this is not the shoes. My feet started hurting after few hours. I dont think I will buy again

I have had several pairs of Hokas, the recovery wedges, Clifton's and Bondis have help me to make an almost 100% recovery from plantar fasciitis. This is the 2nd pair of Bondi SR that I've purchased. In regular shoes I wear a 9 but I go up a size with running shoes. Because I bought these shoes with the intention of wearing them as a comfortable work shoe, I do a lot of sitting so I didn't need to worry about my feet swelling like I would if I wear wearing them as an exercise shoe so I bought a 9.5. My toes came right to the tip of the shoes and my toenails rubbed on the front. I've also had problems with the Clifton shoe fitting me correctly. I buy the 10B but then have problems with the outer side of my foot getting pinched in between the insole and the side of the shoe so I contacted customer services to ask their advice. The lady I spoke with recommended that I try the larger size in a wide. I was really surprised that she suggested a wide because my feet are so long and narrow that my family teases me about them. So the second pair of Bondi SR I bought a 10D, they feel huge! I feel like I can't get the snug fit that I typically like without making the shoe look deformed and the outsides of my feet are still being pinched between the insole and the inside of the shoe.

I work everyday with them.My feet hurt more than they did before

The arch on my left foot was way too high . There was a mark on the arch of the sneaker from it being pushed against my foot all day. The right foot seemed perfectly fine. I wore them for my double shift which is 10.5 hours long all day in my feet. I don't know if the arch was just too high for my feet and these sneakers were just not for me. (I do not have flat feet) maybe you need them for these sneakers . But my right foot was fine all day so I'm not sure if it just was a defective left sneaker. I returned them because the left foot hurt my foot . I wish I knew if it was my feet or I just had a defective sneaker, but I didn't want to keep buying them and returning them.

These shoes are uncomfortable. They feel like they do not belong together. They feel like someone bought them, wore them and then returned them. It feels like Deckers had one shoe and then called around looking for a mate. I don't know but something isn't right with this pair. I love Hoka shoes and have been wearing them for years. My problem is I bought the original pair in a size 11 from Hoka. I returned them to Hoka for a size 10.5. The replacement shoes came from Deckers and that is the problem for me because I never heard of Deckers, and the shoes they sent me feel like second hand shoes, and I am not happy. These shoes were expensive and I would like to have a REAL pair of Hokas for the ones I sent back.

I have three pairs of these as gym shoes, no SR's. These are hurting my feet really bad

I have a number of different styles of Hokas and love them. I am a mail carrier and walk 8 miles a day on my route. We are required to wear black leather shoes. I have had two knee replacements and an ankle replacement, and these were recommended for me. However, my only complaint is the tongue on this style is extremely uncomfortable so I have to stop periodically to readjust it. I see that I am not the only one experiencing this issue. I hope Hoka will take these reviews into consideration and redesign the tongue. The tongues on All my other Hokas are fine. I will need another pair in a month and would be grateful if you will fix this problem.

I under-pronate, need a wide fit, and wear a 5/8" lift to help with ongoing low back pain. I was needing a shoe to walk all day long at work and these came highly recommended. I was left severely disappointed - it felt like walking in snow shoes and caused me MORE back pain than before! Definitely didn't work for me.

Not as great as I thought they would be My feet are very tired half way through my shift

They make my ankles hurt I believe due to the way they make your feet lean towards the outer ankles. If you look at the shoes from the top the soles lean to the right. Maybe I just have a defective pair they right foot sole seems different from the left shoe.

I've been wearing my Bondi SR's for 2 weeks now and I'm not sure I will keep them. They are my third pair of Hoka's and the stiffest pair so far. Compared to my Bondi 8's they are ridged to the point of being uncomfortable. My job requires a lot of walking - 10-15 miles a day on concrete floors - and the 8's gave me a boost all day long but my feet are tired after a day in the SR's. I think they are just too stiff for me. They also press on one of my big toes and I've been unable to adjust them to change that. Bummed because I had high hopes for these.

they hurt my feet so bad and I have worn them twice which is surprising since I have 3 other pairs

These shoes do have some decent support but something makes my foot ache after a short time wearing them. They are also very heavy. My occupation has me standing all day and that's bad enough. I can't imagine walking around in them

I need slip resistant sneakers for work. I bought these because I have other sneakers from Hoka that I really like. These sneakers are made of leather and are very heavy and big. Not very comfortable in the toe box. Would not buy again. I returned them.

Everything about this shoe is great, unfortunately the arch support is just to aggressive for my flat feet. I'm standing and walking back and forth at work for 10 hours, while it alleviate concern areas, I developed new ones.
