Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

Honestly I had never heard of Hokas until 2 years ago when I was in Physical Therapy and one of the PT's had on a pair and told me what a great shoe they were. So, at 71 yard of age, I'm back at work, needing a pair of shoes to work in the back of the house restaurant. In researching the Hoka brand, I found exactly what I needed. A slip/skid resistant sole, yet comfortable enough to be on my feet for hours at a time. Although they are pricey, the quality and fit are superior and my feet and back are worth it. In reading the reviews, one individual shared she needed a 1/2 size larger so that's what I went with. I agree, the larger size is perfect. When I first tried them on, my feet felt like they were resting on clouds. The J collar is very supportive. I already wear custom orthotics and with them in the shoes my feet are so happy, I did a happy dance! I'm looking forward to purchasing another pair as a walking shoe.

Give me blisters on the inside of my foot and gave me a Callus on my big toe.

These shoes were definitely trial by fire. I work in the biomedical laboratory field where I have to stand at flow hoods for several hours and felt like my lack of support in my shoes was giving me back pain. Had these recommended to me, and had to deal with the sticker shock. Due to the insane amount of padding these had, there was an extensive breaking in period. I ordered just the right size, but I'm so used to my old sneakers that I've had for 3 years that are molded to my feet that the sudden stiff foam was a very big adjustment. It also pinched my feet in a very unique spot I've never had agitated beforethe sides of my heels? The shoe fits me, but the sides seem to rub up against my heels and gave me blisters as a few days of wear. Thankfully, after about a week of every day use (and life saving blister bandaids) it seems I've broken in the heel of the shoe and it no longer pinches. My steps feel a lot springier and less painful on my back and shins. Still not a perfect fit, the toe box across the tops of my feet is definitely still relaxing to form around my feet, but that's normal for new shoes. Oh, and the soles squeak SO LOUDLY. I know it's because of the slip resistance, and it'll wear down in time, but it's something to keep in mind.

These are so comfortable while being on my feet for 10+ hours. I love that they're easy to wipe off. I feel super comfortable and stable in them. My feet don't hurt after work anymore!

Medical professional on feet for 13 hours daily. 4th pair of Hokas I have purchased. I wore them one day and returned. They have no padding and were the most uncomfortable pair of shoes I have worn in the last 5 years. Not up to Hoka Standards.

Feels comfortable

I have bought Hoka in the past and while they are a quality product, because I suffer with severe arthritis in my feet I would still have pain when walking or standing. The Bondi SR is the first shoe that has been comfortable and I only have minimal arthritis pain. Unbelievably grateful!!!

It's an okay shoe it doesn't help my feet when I'm on my feet all day as a waitress and doesn't help my aching joints

I have bad feet and knees. These are very comfortable and help me be able to be on my feet a little longer.

Love the shoes, super comfy!! When I went to check out the site had me choose a free item also & I never got it, not sure what thats about

These shoes are not a true white. More light a very pale grey. Disappointed.

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 iuee it for work I have no foot pain when wearing them

I will use them for walking and exercising and just for comfort.

I Purchased these shoes for my daily work shoes. I am continuously walking, they have proven to be extremely comfortable.

My first pair was every day shoes, they were great. This pair is great as well. Started wearing HOKA on my podiatrist's recommendation -- I'm glad for the suggestion!

I bought these shoes for work and and I couldn't be happier I'm on my feet 8 to 10 hours a day they have saved me, my legs and feet do not hurt at the end of the day

Highly recommend

The wide sizing is not wide....the shoes are too confining/ restrictive. I hate them. I will force myself to try them a few more times and then donate them or PITCH them in the trash. An expensive and complete disappointment !

I ordered the wrong size and I tried the wide bad idea RETURNED them for a 7.5 regular Please hurry and come in for the new school year !!

I purchased a half size larger and still had to return these. The Bondi 8W toebox is MUCH smaller than the Bondi 7 and just too small for a wide shoe.

These are used for work. My feet never hurt, even after being on them for 12 hours a day

I am struggling with plantar fasciitis, and the hoka Bondi have been the best shoes for comfort for my feet.

I'm a nurse, and thought these would be comfy to work on. I'm on my feet a long time during the day. I need something to keep me comfortable all day. They did not do a good job at that
