Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

Good looking shoe but hurts to walk in them. Instep is really stiff

I have worn Hoka's for 6 years and have always Loved the productcand I've been a big advocate of the brand itself. I used to tell everyone including complete strangers about my shoes and how amazing they are. However, since they released the Bondi 8 I've not been happy. I tried 5 different styles and settled on the SR because I felt they were themost similar to the Bondi prior to the Bondi 8. My first pair were good and served me well so I ordered the same style when I needed a new pair. The new pair are terrible! The material feels cheap they make noise when I walk, my feet sweat and I never have this issue, and they feel hard. Honestly, I feel like I bought some knock off version. I also wrote an email expressing my concern about the change to the Bondi 8 and the over all quality of the brand almost a year ago and I never recieved a reply. Very Very Disappointed

I hated these shoes. I work over 12 hour shifts and stand/walk all day. My heels hurt so bad halfway through the shift and this line is supposed to be max cushioning. They feel like walking on cement. I tried buying inserts and it didn't improve. After a month the leather didn't stretch at all so it always stayed pretty tight on the tops of my feet. My old new balances felt better than the bondis. Over hyped and not worth almost $200.

I'm an avid Hoka lover! Best shoe for my feet, because I have plantar fasciitis. I'm on my feet for 10-12 hours, 5 x a week. I was recently required to wear all black shoes so I purchased this pair. My feet hurt so bad it's all I can do to stand up. I get blisters, and they just hurt all over. I don't have the box or the receipt or I'd exchange them.

I am a nursing student and I needed comfortable shoes for clinicals. A classmate recommended these shoes to me. I don't understand how these shoes are considered cushy. I wear brooks glycerin 19 for running and they are cushy and soft. These shoes are hard and so heavy despite how tall they are. I would not mind the ugly look of the shoes if they were actually comfortable. These shoes are almost $200. It is not worth it. I wish my nursing school was not so uptight about shoes white and leather. I would love to just wear my brooks to clinicals.

Had to return it because the tongue was digging into my ankle. I dropped it off at the UPS store and route told me that three weeks later it was still sitting there. The next day I looked again it had finally left the UPS store in my hometown. I have no idea why it sat there for so long.

I had high hopes for these as I am a nursing student and needed white shoes for my clinical's and I have a pair of Hokas already that I love so I thought I was in luck! These shoes are ginormous, they feel very heavy and make me look like I'm wearing clown shoes. I could deal with that because they had good support but they squeaked with every step in the halls and I couldn't wear them. I can't even return them because it's been past the 30 days. I will buy hokas again but NOT these ones.

I have been wearing these shoes for 2 weeks and 3 days. The sides have started to come apart. I work in a kitchen and I'm standing all day, these shoes hurt my feet so bad. I always dread putting them on. Thankfully I'm still able to return them.

It has a good cushion but after four hours of walking it hurtled the side of feet n there's no arch support so my feet hurt more then usual at the end of my day.

I work in the hospital and I tried so many shoes ONLY this specific type of shoes relieve my aching feet after 12 more hours shift. This is the shoes I am going to wear for nursing school which starts in January 2026!

I use to cry coming home from work because I couldn't find the right shoes for my feet, but these shoes are amazing to my feet. I don't come home crying anymore. Pain free

I have a 1 inch leg discrepancy along with scoliosis and rods and fusion T 10 - S1. These shoes have worked wonders for me highly recommended.

So first things first they're kinda stiff, but it is a chunky sneaker so that makes sense. However, they are so comfy! I've been a server for 15 years and these are the best work shoes I've ever worn. I'm a month into a new job that has 3 floors so we're up and down stairs and it has made the stairs so much easier to tackle. They almost have a bounce to them going up each step. I'm a plus size girly so the "bouncey cushion" feel is great to take some pressure off my feet. These also have the best slip resistence grip I've ever had in a work shoe. I can literally feel the grip when walking, not in a weird sensory way either. I love the chunky sneaker look, it's so cute and I love that these come in wides and half sizes for the perfect fit! Customer service was also super amazing when I made a mistake ordering. I JUST HAVE ONE COMPLAINT. I neeeeed the Icy Blue color available in wides.

Use this Bondi SR for my 12 hour nursing shifts. Best show I've ever found so far. Highly recommend
