Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

I am a server and am on my feet for 8-10 hour shifts. I was so excited that HOKA had a slip resistant Bondi. I have been wearing the regular all black Bondi for work for the past several years and I was always slip sliding around the kitchen in them. I could not wait to receive my new slip resistant pair! I immediately wore them the first day they arrived, but by the end of my shift I was hurting, not so much my feet, but my knees and lower back. I thought maybe it was a one off and I tried them again the next day and it was the same thing. I went back to my original pair and have not had that issue. I'm not sure what's different so sadly these did not work out for me. I love my other HOKA shoes, but these were a miss for me. I ordered the same size as all of my other HOKA'S but these felt a little snug in the length and toe box. Maybe sizing up a 1/2 size would have helped.

I have other shoes from this brand, and there was no adjustment. They were perfect from day one. These shoes hurt my ankle. They bite into them with every step. I'm developing a sensitivity on that bone as a result. Clearly, I bought the wrong model and should not have purchased online.

I work in an operating room and have worn HOKAs for years. I saw this version online and thought I would try it. The material was so that I could easily clean my shoes. They are netted. SR offers loads of cushion but I found it to be not flexible enough when walking, it doesn't move with my foot motion. I found it to be very hard. I returned this pair and will continue with the style I already have.

I was so excited to get these shoes. My podiatrist recommended them. I usually buy Wides, well let me tell you, they were SOO wide I felt like I was wearing clown shoes. They made my toes go numb. They were so bulky and I felt ridiculous wearing them. Returned to local store and got Altras.

These shoes had my feet hurting and I felt like I was wearing heels.

just ok for almost $200 I was expecting more cushion and comfort

I ordered 2 pairs of BONDI SR size 7.5 one for my mom and the other one for myself since we're heading to Disneyworld Florida in April and it's constantly raining but my mom didn't like them they fit big so I returned her pair and I placed an exchange for a size 7 for my self , they fit big and I got Thoth pairs regular not wide and it's been more then a month. Customer service made an error and I had to literally talk to a supervisor in Hoka to request my money back it's been a ridiculous amount of time to wait . The worse customer service Ive experience,they kept on telling me to wait more and more days. Best advice don't buy on the Hoka website.

I wore these shoes for a trip to Disneyland, and I thought they would be perfect. But when it came down to it the inner arch of the shoe is super painful I couldn't believe that is what ruined these shoes for me

I find the cushioning good but otherwise they are too clunky. I should have returned them instead of trying to make them work. I will say the nonskid soles do work

It took a little more than a week to break them in. They're really no better than my sketchers. They make a weird noise when I walk too. This is my first time trying this brand. I also wasn't sure which shoe to pick. I picked the one I thought would work best for me. Not worth the money.

I wore these shoes while performing my duties as a mail carrier. They were not nearly as comfortable as my other two pair of HOKAs. They rubbed blisters in places I never thought I'd get blisters. They were the same size as the others. Not comfortable at all.

The shoes are my 3rd pair from Hoka Bondi. I wanted all leather because my other shoes have developed holes on the canvas top. These shoes are a size 9- wide. My feet are not wide but I double up on socks in winter working out in the cold. This pair is Cutting into my inner ankle area. I have tried loosening the strings. Not happy at all.My bondi 7 with the holes fit great.cost me almost 200.00 wanted waterproof. Not same fit as before unfortunately.

For the price of these shoes, I'd expect them to hold up well to wear. The stitching is coming out already after two months wear to PT work. That's extremely disappointing, my Dr highly recommends these for my condition.

The shoes feels great. I went a whole size down and still feel like they are too big. I wear them in my vet clinic and they have gotten so dirty. They don't wipe clean very well. The leather on the shoes stains and peels. My right shoes constantly squeaks when j walk making me sound like a duck. Wish they were more stain resistant.

Retail worker, on my feet nine hours a day, the first day was great and the first week they started to break in a little bit too much and now are just as painful on my heels as other non specialty shoes, going to have to return, but didn't have great luck with hokas chat feature. I've only had them three weeks.

We'll made shoe, just too big

Soo sooo big and clutsy

They are built too high and rub my ankles raw.

This is my second pair of Hokas. I loved the first pair so much I bought another pair but different model. I took the test to find the best pair since I walk a lot. The recommended pair was very hard to break in the material is hard. I developed blisters on both feet. I didn't send them back thinking I could eventually use them. I'll probably continue to use Hoka but not this model.

This shoe is not comfortable. I tried with and without my orthotics. They hurt my feet either way and push my foot forward.

The cushioning feels quite different than the Bondi 7. I've had no trouble wearing the 7 right out of the box with zero issue. The 8 is not near as cushioned and stable. I've returned it and am having to rethink the Bondi as a viable work shoe, unfortunately.

These shoes have not eliminated any planter fasciitis pain at all. I'm not impressed at least with this style.

I bought a similar all leather Hoka shoe 3 years ago. Was wonderful. This one seems to be a cheaper version no padding extremely stiff. Not worth the $. But I needed all black for work.
