Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

Shoe runs little small and felt uncomfortable

I work long hours and spend a lot of time standing in one place. I have heard co-workers rave about Hoka's for years so I finally decided to bite the bullet and try them when the Bondi SR's went on sale. The leather upper and slip resistance were a plus for me since I work in studio lighting and thought they would hold up better than a typical athletic shoe. When I tried a pair on in store with my prescription insoles, the fit was good and felt like walking on clouds. As I began wearing them to work, I noticed they felt great for the first hour or so. As the dau went on, however, I noticed they started to hurt more and more. It also felt like I was walking on sand. By the end of the day my heel and arches hurt. After a few weeks I couldn't take it any more. Fortunately I was able to take advantage of Hoka's 30 day return policy (hence the 2 star rating). I have heard so many good things about Hoka, but they just didn't work out for me.

Very comfortable and safe shoes I highly recommend it

These shoes really made a difference for my fiance. He works 12 hours a day at a restaurant and he swears he doesn't have any feet pain after his shift anymore. He also says his knee and back pain has lessened since wearing these shoes. He was skeptical because they are very large but he won't wear any other work shoe ever again!

I was wearing Bondi 8's that are pretty comfortable right away. I wanted a non mesh shoe b/c I work in new construction and there's a lot of sand, sawdust, etc that easily gets in mesh shoes. The Bondi SR definitely keeps debris out but the first few days they were very stiff. Toes hurt,heels sore. They have broken in over a few weeks and are better but still a bit stiff. I didn't buy a wide, I don't usually wear a wide, but, it may have help with these.

This particular slip resistant shoe didn't give me comfort,I was very upset because the performance was great on the outside of the shoe, but the inside of the shoe irritated the side of my foot. They just didn't work out for me. My last two pair were great , I love them, I was really hoping to find great comfort with the slip resistant shoes,but I didn't.

My feet feel great after 13 hr shift

Full disclosure I use these as a UPS driver coming from an Under Armour boot. These were great and took away knee pain. I was having from getting in and out of the truck every day, but these are not durable for that type of work at all, and after a month of where they were leaning terribly to where my knee pain is coming back normally it takes me about 4 to 5 months for a shoe to start leaning these start leaning in 30 days. I can honestly say these were very comfortable and absorbed impact from stepping down out of the UPS truck very well. If only they were adorable. This would be my go to but 180 for them to look this way after only a month is ridiculous. They honestly look like a shoe I have worn for a year.

they help a little with back and knee pain but they lack arch support. i think they might be durable. i usually ruin the eva foam in shoes really fast but there is a ton of eva on these

Best shoes for work, and walking very happy I bought them

Ordered the wide version and wasn't wide enough, toe box is cramped and the inside of the shoe has almost rubbed both my big toes raw. Now I have to find something more accommodating.

I am on my feet all day on hard, concrete floors in a veterinary office. I never get to sit and am always on the move. the hard floors, even with fatigue mats take their toll on my feet adn legs all day, so when I started wearing these Bondis 4 years ago, I have NEVER looked back. I get a new pair every year on my work anniversary of July 4 (35th year of practice now)and celebrate with renewed comfort and support for the year ahead. Great fit, support, comfort and room to wiggle my toes. Built to last and they DO last the entire year with daily use and with little deterioration over that time overall so I proactively renew them every year. I am a woman but order the men's for a little extra room in the toebox even though I do not have wide feet..

These HOKA Bondi SR Leather sneakers are 100% absolutely the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn! They are 10 times more comfortable than my worn in Birkenstocks. They are wearing well too. They stretch a bit after wearing, but the fit is great. I had to size up 1/2 size from my usual 11 1/2 to a 12, but HOKA handled the exchange immediately without complaint at no extra charge with a free shipping label to boot. HOKA's are my new favorite shoes : )

Do a lot of walking at work and these shoes take all the fatigue and soreness in my knees away Glad I found them

After 4 days , the lip on both started to come off. I called and prepped an exchange but I haven't had time to go return it

I love the wide with sizes, good thick sole, comfortable.

I've been cooking for 10 years and have been through all the brands- docs, shoes for crews, bogs, keen, birks, crocs, dansko, you name it. This is by far the most comfortable all-day shoe I've worn as a 6'5", 300+ lbs. man with large feet. The cushioning is incredible, the leather upper is soft but waterproof enough- I'm worried about it down the line, though. Soles are easy to clean so far with a hose or a file. Accommodates my custom orthotics which are necessary and keep me from wearing clogs. Just coming off of two ankle surgeries and these are the best I could've asked for. Thank you for the extended sizes and please never stop making this shoe, unless you develop a version with Gore-Tex.

I tried these Bondi Sr but can't wear them. They actually gave me a sore on my big toe, and I just can't wear them anymore. I love my Clifton 9s best shoes ever. But have wore them down to there limits. I'll just have to save up and get a pair of Clifton 10s.

Good leather. Comfortable walking shoe

I bought these shoes in the same size I always wear. The size itself is fine (10), the width should be labeled squeeze your feet till they hurt. I don't have a wide foot so I ordered the regular width. There default size should be the wide fit apparently and the regular size slim fit My dogs have new chew toys.

There's two issues I have with this product. One is it's not sturdier to walk in on a regular basis while at work The other issue is that the shoes tend to lean towards the outside as I walk in them. The soles wear down quicker than other shoes.

I'm a nursing student and we're only allowed to wear certain types of shoes for clinical and whatnot. Was recommended these by a couple classmates so I decided to try them out. To get to the point PROS: they're very comfortable, definitely made of good quality materials, slip resistant works well, relatively easy to wipe clean, haven't had trouble with the laces coming untied. CONS: high price point, and they are rather "bulky". From someone who is used to wearing vans or converse most of the time, they make me feel like I'm wearing some cloud-like moon boots or something, which I'm still trying to get used to. But if you want the extra cushion they've gotta put it somewhere. I have received a couple complaints from people so that's a plus. I'd recommend these to someone looking for an extra cushioned walking shoe, or you're on your feet for long periods of time. Would not recommend for running (which I don't think they were made for anyway). Oh, the sizing is dead on so order your normal size.
