Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

I bought these shoes to wear for my 12+ hour nursing shifts. I was really excited to get them. By the end of my first shift, the tongue of the shoe had rubbed the top/inner part of my foot completely raw. I repositioned it many many times throughout the day in hopes to get some relief, but it didn't help. I even opened the shoe all the way up, loosened the laces, and stretched the ankle part out, but unfortunately it did not help. I even taped a foam bandage to my foot to try and stop the rubbing, but this seemed to make it worse. I wore them 1 day and sent them back. They were cute though.

Restaurant worker here. Love these for my over 14,000 steps per shift. Very comfy & holding up well.

I'm a Chef and these didn't work out. I thought they'd be like my Clinton's but no where near as comfortable

I use them for work. I originally bought them for i spend more than 13 hours on my feet's and my heels were on pain all the time. Now my heels got better but the exterior side of the feet is on pain. Not sure if i am not used to then shoes or I need different kind of shoe

I always buy Hoka shoes, first time trying them in leather. I always buy 10.5 I'll just order the different size

I'm on my feet the entire day, for my job, and have had increasing discomfort in my feet as time has passed. Have paid a lot of money on shoes that were recommended for foot pain, but still couldn't get through a day without pain. Took a chance on these HOKA's and I'm glad I did...I can work the whole day in comfort now! They aren't the best looking shoes out there(only come in black or white) but the comfort trumps the appearance. Totally worth the price tag.

This is my 4th pair of Hokas. I thought I had found my favorite in the Hoka Transport but I needed a white shoe and I came across the Hoka Bondi SR. They were slightly more expensive than the others but with better reviews so I thought I would try them. After receiving them, I wore them around the house. The shoe itself was supportive and comfortable but the tongue was rubbing the top of my foot. After about an hour, I couldn't wear them anymore and had to take them off. I put them aside for a few days and was going to send them back but something inside me said to give them another try. This time, I moved the tongue off the area it was rubbing and Voila! It worked like a dream! It doesn't matter to me that the tongue is a little off center. These are THE most comfortable Hokas I own. A little adjustment goes a long way!

Love my sneakers and my podiatrist said they are the best sneakers on the market. Please don't ever change!

going on a walking tour vacation. Took the time to slowly break in the sneaker.

When I tell you my feet are always hurting! I believe it's a combination of my extra weight, my wide foot, and the distances I walk but these shoes help me so much. I got the wide version and the shoes combined with lidocaine foot spray at the beginning of the shift gets me through 12 hours where I'm walking atleast 3 miles a shift.

I like these as they are leather , the fabric ones let in to much cold . I wish you made a brown one for winter .

Very comfortable shoes.. especially if you're on your feet all day

The soles are amazing. Full 12 hours of standing comfort. They are a tad bit tight on my pinky toe BUT i have super sensitive little toes. All around great shoes and once I get these broken on they will be my favorite.

I wanted to love these, but the way they are cut makes the edge rub against my ankle. It was too painful to wear them after a couple of hours. I tried to wear them for a short time on two other occasions, but they still hurt. I didn't try these on before purchasing, so now I will go to a store to see if I can find a style that won't rub on my ankles. They did feel very cushiony on the bottom of my feet, so I really hope I can find a pair that works for me.

Much as Bondi8 shoes are my favorites & I wear them everyday, these just did not fit as well as the mesh ones. Obviously, leather often fits differently as that's the nature of leather vs mesh but I did have to send these back due to the arch rubbing my instep on both feet. Plus the plush is not as cushy as I am used to. I wear my Bondi 8's in a size 9.5/W everyday for my 4 mile walks on asphalt in beautiful Colonial Williamsburg, VA.

Recently purchased the Bondi SR after having orthopedic surgery on my hip. I've since returned to work, I am on my feet all day and these shoes offer both style and support. I usually wear the Bono 8. I decided to order is shoe for the all leather and skid resistant bottom. They did not disappoint! I will definitely order again.

The attachment points for the tongue of the shoe towards the toe on both sides was quite painful and caused damage. I have exchanged them for the Bondi L and am still waiting for them to arrive.

I work in a Drs office; but for a lab! My company went to water proof/slip proof shoes! I love the Bondi SR but they squeak on certain types of floors!
