Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

Could've spent $150 less and gotten the same quality.

Wore them for a 12 hour shift and my heels instantly started hurting not even 30 minutes in. Everytime that I would stand up I would feel an immense pressure on my heels that made me want to sit down so badly. Also, the tongue underneath the shoe laces feels like it needs to constantly be pulled up, but in reality it doesn't. The tongue is just very uncomfortably made and pierces/scratches the top of your foot and feels like something is sticking out from there. It made the top of ny foot feel itchy and irritated all day (and yes I was wearing socks). My feet were hurting so bad for the rest of the day after my shift. They are also very bulky and sort of heavy to walk around with. I really wanted to love them, but unfortunately I couldn't. Hoka is an amazing brand and their other shoes are great, but the bondi SR's are not it.

When I put them on I felt like there was too much movement in the shoe And if I'm feeling that now , overtime I'm sure it would only get worse and I would have to put an insert in the shoe. I'm looking for a shoe that I don't have to put an insert in. At the high price tag these just did not work for me.

I have enjoyed the Arahi 6 shoes but this model and design was too heavy for my feet. Having fibromyalgia, my legs are always in pain so I just cannot wear it. Arahi is the best shoes for me. I have purchased many pairs in different colors. This one is just not for me.

These are the only HOKA sneakers I cannot wear. Medium are too wide. The tongue is rigid and digs into your ankle as you walk. I quickly returned them.

I liked the look overall and expected these to be SO comfortable. It's possible they just needed some breaking in, but they were not comfortable, particularly on the top of my foot around the tongue of the shoe. The way it fit my foot resulted in the top poking into the front of my ankle and was not soft. I ended up having to return.

It feels very heavy, and it hurts the top of my feet

THE SHOE FITS. IT JUST UNCOMFORTABLE. THE SHOE TONGUE RUBS MY LEG AND THE SIDES BY MY BABY TOE RUB. I THOUGHT THEY WOULD FEEL LIGHT AND SOFT BUT IT'S MORE LIKE BIG AND BULKY. FOR THE COST, I DEFINITELY EXPECTED DIFFERENT.

This is from my personal experience. I bought these shoes after a classmate of mine recommended them for me. The first 2 weeks of my clinical rotation, the shoes worked great. My feet and heels were not killing me like they usually do, which I was impressed with. But after that honeymoon phase of heel-pain freedom, I found myself back at square one. The shoes did not protect me for the unbearable heel pain. I was very disappointed that the joy of having a pain-free clinical had come to an end. I am still on the hunt for a good white, leather clinical shoe that will either minimize or eradicate the heel pain. :(

Where should be more padding on the tongue of the shoe because it rubs on the top of my foot, so I returned it.

My feet hurt so much

I filled out the online survey to see which shoe was recommended. Bought it. When it came I thought it was a joke because it was the biggest sole I've ever seen in my life. I didn't even want to try it on because I would never wear something that looks that way no matter what kind of pain my feet have. My husband convinced me. They were too big. Every other brand I wear I am a 9.5-10 and wide is better. I ordered 9.5 wide in Hoka but it was way too big and sloppy. I may try a lesser sole shoe from them in the future.

I have had plantar fasciitis for three years. In January I had surgery for it. When I saw these shoes they looked like they would be perfect for me. Unfortunately they made my feet hurt and I was not able to wear them all day.

I had to return 2 pairs. Sizing is different from the other models

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
