Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

I bought these for nursing school and I am incredibly disappointed. I have been a fan of Hokas for a while, but for some reason these shoes absolutely killed my feet. My first 12 hour clinical with them left me in so much pain that I barely made it from my car to my door. I assumed my feet needed to get used to them but the pain got worse over time and now they're sitting in my closet collecting dust because I can't bear the idea of trying to use them again. Honestly, it feels like I threw my money away buying these.

Had to return the Bondi SR I just purchased after wearing them for a day. Very disappointed. They made my feet ache all over. I previously was given Hoka Speedgoats by my daughter and bought another pair of Speedgoats after the gift and they were very comfortable (I'm 71 and I don't run, just walk). Thinking of going back to Speedgoats or maybe trying the Clifton 10.

I buy this shoes for work but j can used they are hurting my feet really bad

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.

Feels wonderful

these bondi leather are terrific, plush and plenty wide box. yes the leather! i hike in them year round - (living at 8,000 ft in winter snow i wear crampons/snowshoes) i WISH there were MORE WIDE BOX available please? and MORE LEATHER please - these shoes perform well in snow and rain. (the mesh styles do not keep out dust/grit) the soles are non slip so easy in ice and super duper durable. after multiple foot sports injuries the wide box is needed and i order a length up to protect toes. the heel ratio is ok - a little flatter might be nice? per review i am supposed to select one "best for" - but really they are best for everything! hokas were recommended years ago for trail running. recently i accidentally left my bondi in colorado so ordered new as they are really the only shoes i wear now. (besides the hoka recovery slide) these shoes are bomber and take a-lot of wear without collapsing internally or coming apart at the seams. everyone wears them now! go hoka! and thank you hoka for keeping me going! enjoy!

Comfortable for my 8 hour shifts on my feet. Slip resistant which gave me peace of mind during my shifts as a dishwasher.

These are everything i hoped they would be, i am on my feet all day at work and these shoes make it tolerable to work without pain.

I have had trouble finding shoes that work for me because I have had a bad injury to my left foot. Hoka are the first shoes that I have worn that do not hurt my foot. I wear them every day. My first pair of Hokas lasted a year.

I have loved these for work. I normally wear Clifton or regular bondi but switching to SR has been a game changer! I appreciate the ability to wipe them off and the sole is great for being on the move all day. My only complaint would be that the tongue is a little stiff on the ankle then I'm used to but after a couple wears it's loosened up nicely!

This is my second pair of HOKAs. The first pair is still good, but they've looking a bit worn because I wear them everyday. They are the only shoes I can wear all day because my feet have a lot of arthritis. I bought a second pair of HOKAs for occasional wear when I can dress up a little but still wear my comfy shoes. HOKAs are the only shoes I can comfortably wear.

These are perfect for a long day on concrete floors. I need a solid, non skid shoe that can keep up with me and my day as a Lunch Lady!

My hip and back no longer hurt
