Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

The slip resistance is incredible. I deliver outdoors and my route is in hills with many driveways. This is the first shoe where I feel comfortable enough to walk up and down those driveways on rainy days. My only issue with the shoe is that the tongue of the shoe is so short and solid that it digs into the tendons at the top of my ankle. It's very uncomfortable and takes weeks to break that in. Even after it's broken on the tongue is still really short and it's hard to get out from being bunched up at the top of my ankle. If the tongue were just a little bit longer and maybe not at solid and sharp on the corners would be perfect.

I'm happy with my shoes! The one thing I was somewhat disappointed in is the shoe strings - pretty flimsy, I'm sure they won't last very long. But other than that, I'm satisfied!

The front sole connection is a weak point if it fails i will return it

I walk a lot at work and some at home,very comfortable,slip proof now they grab,very water resistant, I've repurchased multiple times,things I don't like,the toung is way too short,the shoe strings are very slick and come untied,that's the only reason I don't give 5stars

My husbands 2nd pair of the same shoes. Unfortunately you did not have the wide, but he is trying them. So far so good. This is the design that works best for him. We wish they came in more "traditional colors" without "white sides on soles". Maybe a dark brown with tan or brown platform sides/ navy with medium blue sides would be very nice and you would probably sell a lot. Not everyone's profession lends toward the more colorful selections and styles. The Bondi SR has just the right fit for his foot pain issues. FYI- The very white side soles show every mark and guys are not great about keeping them nice. For that price they have to last a while. More and better colors please.

I worked everyday in this shoe. I have two pair and seeking to get a 3rd pair but want it in full outerspace color or outerspace/black

I have always liked every Hoka shoe that I have purchased some more than others. The Bondi's are hands down my favorite. I didn't realize they made them with a lether upper and a non slip out sole. I work in a machine shop. Both are needed for protection from metal chips and oil and water on the floor. I usually wear out the insoles way before I wear out the rest of the shoe. I'm 6'-2", and weigh about 300lbs and tough on shoes. Dear Hoka: If you can figure a way to add a safety toe with the certifications that go with them, you can totally market these to fellow workers like me! Thankfully in my shop, safety toes are not required. These would compete against the sketchers safety shoes.

I wore this shoe to work every day and Iove how comfortable it feels. The great thing about this shoe is, it does felt like you wearing shoe. The only problem I have is, wish shoe comes in other colors like all blue(navy) and blue/black combination.

Walking 7 miles a day for work, my knees and feet were hurting after a days work. Since switching to the Bondi SR, it's like walking on a cloud and I feel absolutely fine after coming home. Small complaint is almost immediately my right shoe started making a squeaking noise. Super annoying, but it's a trade off I'm willing to make.

Use these every day for work.great comfort Great shoes stitching around the toes have come undone on a prior pair hope this pair holds up well

I work in a retail store where I often have to go back into a warehouse where the floor is covered in broken glass -my old Hoka sneakers would get splinters of glass that would literally work themselves through the sole and up into the insole of my shoe (it leaves dark craters and feels like, "The Princess ans the Pea," when glass is super close to your foot,) These shoes are much thicker and do not allow that. However, the actual souls are still weak.Enough rubber that when I step on hard surfaces they wear off or pieces clip off quickly. I am not. Complaining, these shoes are brilliant and they are the best thing I found in the last few years to reduce foot pain. I would love to see hoka make boots-level footwear that could be used in a straight up environment where you're walking on piles of broken glass... I would pay a lot for those!

Only negative is in the instep area. They do fit tight. I have to really loosen the laces in that area.

As the headline says , they're kinda ugly and I personally wouldn't wear them to the store or anywhere else if I'm being honest. Ugly aside they're very very comfortable , I work at a warehouse with cement / stone floors and they're holding up quite nicely. I'd give it 5 stars but they're not pretty enough for that.

The shoe is pretty stiff with no mesh for air circulation. Good durable shoe though for fall, winter and rain repellent.

12 HR. WORKDAY ON CONCRETE FLOORS GREAT SUPPORT I WILL BUY A LITTLE WIDER NEXT TIME

But other than that, comfort wise, great.

I do a lot of standing/walking and with the cushion it makes it great.

Hoka has been very confusing recently I've been a size 13 in Hoka for 6 years, until this summer when trying new Bondi 8 I needed 13 wide (while my old size 13 Hoka's all still fit fine) I have a pair of green hiking Hoka's I really like so got these Bondi SR in what I thought was the same green, and in 13 wide like the Bondi 8 I tried, but the green was not the same, the leather looked plasticy, and the shoes felt a half size too long and much too wide So I exchanged them for a pair of regular width 13 in a color I think is called oat milk, should be similar to the oat milk Bondi 8 I liked. They do not look like the same color in real life Oh well the shoe was comfortable at first and fit better but the sole and cushion is much harder than Bondi 8 and ended up hurting my toes and forefoot bursa None of my older Hoka from before 2021 hurt my feet in this way Not sure what changed Still searching for the right pair for me

The pull strap probably looks good on paper, but in functionality it really doesn't do the job. The shoe strings were to short, when laced for properly. And the tongue is also short, making it hard to position.

My feet were roasting in these so I exchanged them for the mesh Bondi shoes and they are great. Note that I am not working in a hospital, so keeping nasty fluids out is not a concern.
