Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

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!

Not real satisfied with shoes. They are not as comfortable as my other they hurt ny feet when I wear them to work for long periods

I bought these thinking they would be super comfortable based on the reviews. I've had shoes cost 1/4 of these and be way more comfortable. My feel kill after each wear. Wish I'd realized it was the show sooner so I could return.

I don't like the appearance of the shoes. I don't know what I expected but this is not it. The leather looks cheap and the shoes are hard. I expected leather to be soft.

First time I tried the shoe. Not as comfortable as I thought they would be for the price. I hate returning things so just kept them. Thought I could wear them at work and as time would go by to see if they got broken in. Nope not for me.

They're just ok, not as soft walking or standing in them but definitely does reduce foot pain from long days. The innner foot side kind of pushes against my foot and I don't have wide feet.

There is no bend in the sole so walking is very stiff. I am in pain and got blue/purple bruising after wearing after a work shift. The sole just does not flex with the natural movement of the foot. Also, I ordered a wide and my pinky toes are pinched.

I wish I could say something good about these shoes, my wife really needs them for work, but it's been a little over two weeks and we still haven't received them. Now I can't put all the blame on HOKA, but their choice in shipping leaves much to be desired, as FedEx has been sitting on the package since day one, leaving me to wonder if they somehow lost it after receiving it. More than anything I'm frustrated because my wife works on her feet for long hours most every day of the week, and these are the only shoes that help alleviate her back pain. We would purchase them at an outlet, but we ordered online because none of the stores in our area carry the brand anymore. I really hope we get these shoes soon, and really hope HOKA considers changing to either UPS or USPS.
