Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

Too big in the toe area, don't fit

bondi 8 was magical for me, the cushioning, the support everything! I tried to buy more but they replaced them with bondi 9. I tried the SR and I also tried the new Bondi 9 is overpriced and nothing like the bondi 8. go back to producing the bondi 8, it was a winner all around! ps stop making so many styles/names these shoes are so crazy expensive and complicated to follow the ever changing menu of shoes!

I bought these for work because I love the Bondi 9. But the SR model is harder and stiff feeling. I have heel spurs in both of my heels. Wearing the SR model around home, in less then 2 hrs my heels were starting to hurt. If you have feet issues, just heads up that the SR model is not plush. I am returning the SR leather in exchange for the Bondi 9 running shoes. They are like pillows on my feet.

I bought the Bondi SR for my best friend who is a school cafeteria manager and started wearing these shoes August 1st. By October 20, this rubber part has come completely apart from the bottom of one of the shoes, material on top of shoes have separated. The shoes look like they are a year old not 2 months old. I cannot believe the change ine the quality of the brand of this shoe. I bought this same brand and model last year at beginning of school year, the pair lasted the whole year.

This does not feel like the first pair I bought 1 1/2 years ago and will buy this one again

I was excited to finally try a pair of Hoka shoes. I brought them specifically for work as I needed nonslips and something good to be on your feet all day. I originally ordered a 9.5 but exchanged them for a 9 because they were a little too big and making my feet hurt. Well my feet and my knees are worse, I've worn them for about 3 months thinking I needed to break them in but to no avail, it makes my knee pain worse than what it usually is. I'll just stick to Brooks.

I've had these shoes for almost a year. These are the hardest shoes I've worn they do not break in and they have no support given the fact that they are a hoka. Nothing about them is soft. They are so stiff. If you are in the medical field, do not buy you are only paying for the fact that they are waterproof now I am fixing to have to buy more shoes for Clinicals.

People have managed to pull tongues out without an uncomfortable anchor in the shoe for.... convenience? If this were a running shoe, not a work shoe, I can see this might be a useful feature. Quality is not what it used to be. Not very plush, hard interior not plush cushion as advertised, that feature went away along with the Bondi 6/7/8. Would really like to see tongue anchor go away permanently and bring back the cushioning.

The inside has become less plush and the outside is so stiff to make the shoe nearly unbearable to wear. It feels like a brick on my foot. I use it to mow the grass now. Changing to a different shoe does not work and certainly does not excuse the lack of quality. Have to have black, no slip, leather shoes. These no longer fit the bill. Surely someone out there will see the Bondi 6 with its plush interior and medium soft leather exterior was THE shoe. Just because you can change something does not mean you should. BTW, I have returned more of your shoes than I have kept in recent years. Proof it is your quality and not my feet that have changed. Actively looking to replace the brick with a new comfortable shoe.

I've had these shoes not even one full year and they are falling apart. The bottom of the sole is coming unattached from the rubber bottom and parts of the top are peeling off very badly. I do wear these shoes regularly, but not in such harsh conditions that I think they should be breaking after only 10 months of use.

Do not buy unless you want to have foot pain after no longer than an hour of working/clinicals. These shoes look like they would be so comfy but the thick soles prove nothing!

This shoe has caused me to have so much pain in my left foot. The shoe fits perfect on my right foot but my left seems squished. I have to wear cushions and bandaids in my last two toes in order to wear them. My foot also hurts on the side. I've been wearing them for over a month trying to break them in but it's just a bad shoe. I might try a wide and a size up, but I'm nervous to waste my money again.

Im not one who spends a bunch of money on shoes like this but when I started my new job and was on my feet for 10 hours straight I knew I needed to invest. I did the research and trusted their little test thing but after 1 shift I could tell they weren't gonna go well. I spent 30 bucks on shipping too to make sure they were here in time for my next shift. I reached out and they recommended another pair and that was all. I have lost hope and I think ill try to grab something else

It's so comfortable but the leather so soft, when I clean it for the first time it became bad

If you plan on wearing these for clinical DO NOT GET. My feet hurt so bad haven't even had them for a full year. I just left clinical and I wear compression socks and my feet are currently HURTING so bad. I'm so annoyed because I wasted almost 200 dollars on UNCOMFORTABLE SHOES. 0/10 do not buy

I wear these for clinicals and after 4 hours my heel is throbbing. I bring a spear of shoes to change into after to get relief. Painful. If I could return I would in a heartbeat

I paid almost $200 bucks for a shoe that should of fit my feet I couldn't even put my foot in the shoe. Not worth the money or time spent to and return this shoe

I was so excited to try the famous Bondi shoes from Hoka when I first bought them. I wanted to switch my Crocs bistro after 3 years oc use. Wanted shoes that where more professional/sporty looking and researched and cane uo with these shoes. They had a mix of reviews but each experience is different so I gave a shot. At first, I didnt like the chunky look but they felt comfortable. Theyre are not breathable but theyre waterproof! After a month and so of use I came with very very aore feet after work.. weeks later to find out I have now fascitis plantar by just wearing these shoes! I have bought a Dr Scholl insole and even with it the pain is unbearable. I dont recommend them at all, ima have to buy back again my crocs bistro despite their look.

Tried for one week. I stand over ten hours a day doing cases-gastroenterology. Hurt across instep of right foot. Cushion excellent. Just too tight and pressure across instep causing tingling sensation and pain! I do surgical procedures. Only on right foot. Gavin's works well. Thought that I would try this due to recommendation for health care workers,

I've bought two pairs in two years the first pair are still going strong. This gray pair the bottom started to come apart 6 months after. Got to looking at the site notice there was a possibility of a warranty so I filled it out and sent them and got it back saying over a year. Hmm bought them in August 14,2024 they got them July 1/2025 hmm that's not over a year old baby. Now the black pair no issues. Paying almost 200.00 for a shoe that doesn't last a whole year really sucks. I recommend this shoe to a friend they bought but I don't think I would again for this reason.

I unfortunately had to return these. Their Bondi 9's fit my feet perfectly and are very comfortable. These however have raised areas along the sides of the insole which press hard against my feet. I could tell I would be in pain if I wore them any longer than a few minutes. Bummed because I thought they looked like a great pick for work as a nurse.
