Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

I am a basketball official and have worn Zigs for many years. I heard that the Hoka was a much better shoe. It is double the price of the Zigs. I ordered a pair and they are a comfortable shoe but not worth the extra cost, in my opinion. There may be a slight improvement in 'cushioning' of the foot but not significant. I was really expecting an 'Ah Ha' moment when I put them on (which I did experience the first time I put on a pair of Zigs), but it was not to be. They are a fine shoe but at the wrong price point. It is NOT good value for money.

They run quite tight in the instep and toebox. I ordered the extra wide and they are still sort of crampy. I don't get this with other shoes like New Balance, so eh. Maybe the will fit if I stretch them out a bit. I hope so.

The sole on the SR picks up anything and everything loose that you walk on. Constantly vacuuming! The tongue should be laced at the top like the bondi 8. Makes it easier to put on.

The shoe has cushion but it burns my arches, so i will have to return them.

difficult to put on with laces in last 3 holes; good support

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.

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.

I Purchased them because I needed a black shoe for work. I have a different pair of Hoka's that I love. but they are a running shoe. my running shoes seem to have more of a cushion when I walk and are more comfortable. These shoes are a little stiffer and aren't as comfortable being on my feet all day for the price and lack of comfort, I probably wouldn't buy this particular model again. I work security and I'm on my feet for 10 hours a day ,after a few hours my feet begin to feel the strain. I am a little disappointed in the shoes.

Very comfortable shoe for on your feet work in a manufacturing environment, however after a couple of weeks the right shoe has developed a squeak that is driving me nuts..

I like the shoes. I delivered packages for a living. These shoes have great support, they are like walking on clouds. They have helped my knees and lower back massively. I say, I don't know because either I got a pair that can't handle the impact even though they said stated they could, They are falling apart and I have barely had them 1 month. The glue on the toe is separating, and the stitching is wearing already. I really hope this pair is just faulty, I really like the way they help my knees and lower back. My wife did so much research, and it lead her to Hoka's.

There's a piece of plastic in the back of this shoe that's so unbelievably sharp that it cuts through the padding and the fabric and then it started to cut into the back of my ankle. It's a ridiculous manufacturing/design issue. Honestly I've never seen anything like it. It's so unbelievably bad that I've never have left a review for anything ever in my life, but I have to warn people about this issue. I've been a Hoka customer for 5 years, I loved the brand, but customer service told me there is nothing they can do to resolve the issue, since it's 16 days over warranty, which I can understand, but this is not normal wear and tear. If I could show you a picture you wouldn't even believe it's reality. Really it's an issue that makes no sense, why would you put a piece of plastic in the back of a shoe so sharp that it cuts through the padding and fabric and then into the back of your ankle, and so I unfortunately have to warn others. It was a really nice shoe and I really liked it a lot, but because of this unbelievable and ridiculous design flaw in the back I don't think it's worth it to buy another pair unfortunately. RIP hoka. Honestly I'm pretty devastated. It was my favorite shoe and brand, but they don't care, I'm just another number to them. They probably design it that way on purpose so you have to buy another pair quickly.

Just got my 3rd pair and the quality continues to degrade. 1st pair lasted 2 years of heavy daily use with no issues, hand down best shows I ever bought. Last 2 pairs have porky lasted a couple months before the soles were falling apart and needed to be glued together. Second pair lasted 6 months, my most recent pair lasted a month before I had to glue the sole back to the toes. Still the most supportive show ever but this quality degradation is awful.

Very comfortable and I like them but the sole is peeling off on the tennis side with only 4 days of it.

I have owned 6 pairs of Hokas. Even a pair of recovery slides. I LOVE Hokas. Only shoes I buy. But these Bondi SRs are terrible. They are one of the most expensive and yet they are very uncomfortable. My feet hurt in these. I would like my money back.

Really good shoes very comfortable and soft to wear everyday specially at work

Superior traction and cushioning!! Highly recommended.

Good shoes for work

I work on steel grated floors, which will destroy your feet. The comfort is amazing with Hokas.

I've been looking for black on black upper/white sole in HOKAs forever! Please offer this color way in regular women's Bondis. I luckily fit the men's 7, but would order on repeat if available in women's

I use it in semi-formal and casual attire situations. They are stylish when needed along with the usual Bondi comfort and fit.
