Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

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.

I have been purchasing Hokas since 2018. In my personal opinion since they have become so popular they are sacrificing everything that made them a great go to shoe. This time I purchased the Bondi SR and I got a callous on my baby toe. No thanks never had that happen.

If this shoe had the same stability and cushion as my arhias they would be the perfect work shoe.

I only use these shoes at my part time job 2-3 days a week for 6-8 hour shifts so I felt the fact that these were a splurge for me was okay since I wear regular non SR hokas at my other job I work 40 hours at weekly and they lasted me over a year with minimal wear on them. I am an adamant fan of hokas and swear by them after using the regular sneakers. Now after minimal usage the last 5 months of my SR the back of the heels is falling off completely and no longer cushioned at all and so uncomfortable against my foot when I work. It's worn out entirely too quick for a shoe over $150 when I've used cheaper non slips that lasted at least a year with daily wear at 40 hours a week. Super disappointing and wish I could get my money back for this purchase.

I am a restaurant server and I have plantar fasciitis. The pain has been really bad and I was looking for good shoes. I've tried many other brands and everyone I work with recommends these. I finally decided to try them. The first couple of weeks were heaven! I didn't have to break them in, and I didn't have the excruciating pain in my foot. Thenthe pain came back. The shoes are comfortable, but I guess nothing will stop this pain. Too bad it's past the 30-day mark or I would probably just return them.

I wear size 9 and this shoe was very tight

I purchased these shoes for nursing school, but today, i tried them them out for a shift. at first when i put them on they were beyond comfortable; felt like i was walking on a cloud. however, half way through my shift, the front of my ankles were killing me; the tongue was so hard, it was digging into my ankles while walking. I took the shoes off and saw my ankles were swollen to the point that a nurse i work with thought i had got bit by a spider. there was a clear indentation in my skin from the tongue, and now (hours after talking them off) it feels and looks like i have a big knot on the front of my ankles. not sure if this is just me.
