Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

I love this shoe for its great cushion, non slip sole, and cleansbility. But, like most Hokas, the cushioned heal breaks down way too soon. After ruining a pair by slipping my foot in the egg m I'm very careful to hold onto the cushion, so it doesn't break down. But it's always the first thing to go, long before the sole, in my case.

Opened them up so excited Shoe is wrinkled Sole slips right out And they're not soft cushioning at all Hard couldn't tell it was "maximum cushion" I work 60hrs a week on my feet nonstop. Wish I could post a picture of them Very disappointed. Spent over $200 for these

Wear them walking. I laced them too tight and my toes went numb. Loosened the laces and all was fine.

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.

Purchased this shoe for work, 12-hour shifts in nursing, the first day felt pretty good. I did have to keep adjusting the tongue as it was hard and uncomfortable against my foot. The next day the inside of the shoe was rubbing the side of my feet, very uncomfortable. However the support and comfort of the sole were great. Give them a try, you may have better luck!

I wanted to live these shoes and, to be fair, they may fit a very specific type of need, like healthcare wear there are liquid messes. For my purposes, they are stiff, and last like. With that, they do not fit my needs. I have an ankle injury that requires support but cannot be rigid, so they rub all the wrong areas. Definitely well made though and can see them lasting a long while.

Very supportive a comfortable fit. I will use these daily!

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.

I ordered these shoes in anticipation of a vacation in England. I wanted super comfortable, waterproof walking shoes because I'm planning an active trip. These shoes have very comfortable soles which absorb the stress of standing and walking. They also have a generous toebox, a very important feature for my feet--my toes need lots of room for long distance walking. The one drawback, however, is the tightness across the top of these shoes where the laces are tied. This causes some discomfort while walking and using stairs. Loosening the laces doesn't seem to help. This issue was mentioned by at least one other reviewer. Rather than returning the shoes, I am trying to break them in and hoping that the leather tops will loosen a bit with stretching and use. So, Hoka if you're reading this, can something be done to reengineer the tops of this shoe style? If they are just a bit looser across the top in the lacing area, this customer would give them a perfect 5!

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'm so sorry for the most part I love my shoes. But my left one was sewn weird. It has a curve to it, which my right shoe does not have and it pulls the front of the shoe down and squeezes my big toe. I wear them for a while but when I wear them too long my toe gets sore. I do want my shoes though, my right one is perfect. Would it be possible to exchange even though I have already worn them trying to make it work? Thank you.

These hookers are a little bit too stiff and a little bit hard to walk

I have suffered from inflammatory back pain for many years. Shoes can exacerbate it or help it, depending on stance, etc. these shoes are amazing and absolutely no pain ! Love them !!

First let me say I love this brand However I am having an issue breaking in the Bondi SR. For first of all the shoe is very stiff not like the other shoes. I understand it's all leather, but it's still very stiff. As a person who's on my feet every day I need to be able to put the shoe on and feel immediate comfort like I did with my other Hoka's. The shoe feels a little tight in the toe area. So I'm having a hard time breaking them in and getting used to wearing them for my full shift. I usually have to switch out at about six hours.

Very comfy

The shoes have a high arch so it gave me callouses where my arch would be and have caused me ankle pain. Also the stitching is coming out on the toe area. I work as a server and the extra heel height helps with back pain, however, not good for people with flat feet. Probably great for people that don't have flat feet.

This is is perfect for medical working shoes

I had such high hopes for these! I was told these shows would change my life but sadly no. I'm a bartender and on my feet a lot. I've tried many different shoes over the years trying to find the gem and these were the worst by far. Very tight and extremely uncomfortable. I thought they would possibly loosen up but I've had them for 2.5 months now. Someone told me after the fact that Hokas tend to run small but that's doesn't do me much good now :(
