Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

I bought this shoes recommend by a friend but I'm not sure if I did a right decision. They're not very comfortable like they look I hope they last longer a least. I would like to return or exchange if I could.

There is discomfort of the tongue rubbing against my foot. Softer material needed maybe? The thickness of the shoe makes walking feel sort of like walking in sand, which made my feet and legs more fatigued instead of less at the end of the day. The cushioning also makes you feel quite a bit slow on your feet. This made this shoe impossible for me to wear on a long shift, unfortunately. And this hurt quite a bit considering the Ultra-Premium price point. I do however think there is a lot of potential with this shoe! If the tongue was made of a softer material and if HOKA compromised with a sole that is a little less thick and not as bouncy I think this could be one of the better/best service industry shoes.

This is my third pair of HOKA not sure I'll continue to purchase these shoes.

I am impressed with the comfort and I am glad I "invested" in my feet. They were comfortable right out of the box. I have to buy leather shoes for my work. They need to be weather resistant as all the breathable, mesh shoes get my feet wet and are not as durable. I do wish they had more selection with the all leather shoes. Also, the anti-slip traction sole is pretty good. The only "bad" thing I have to say is that the tread loads up on snow and does not want to release it. So it makes for a slippery transition coming in from the snow onto a hard floor. I had a couple of times where I almost fell. All in all, my feet feel better(on my feet 14+ hours a day). And since my feet feel better, my lower back feels better!

I'm about a month in on these shoes. They came highly recommended from co-workers. The first couple of days they felt like I was walking on clouds. It was amazing. I'm a waiter and work 40 house a week on my feet. So after a few weeks of wear l no longer feel like I'm walking on clouds. They're slightly better than cheaper brands. I most likely won't be purchasing again due to the high price. I usually go through 2 pairs of shoes per year. We'll see how long these last.

20,000 steps a day for weeks and my feet never get sore. Made my planters go away.

I am a teacher and had Achilles tendon surgery. It was suggested that these shoes may help. The arch support is great but the heal support and back of the shoe make it difficult to wear while standing for more than a few hours at a time. The back of the shoe pushes right on the Achilles. If not for my surgery I am sure these shoes would be fantastic for lots of standing.

I'm a chef and on my feet for a minimum of 10 hours per day. It's taking longer to break these shoes in than any other I've owned. The problem is they run narrow which would have been good to know ahead of time. I never buy a wide size but needed it in the non-slip style.

I use them in a real kitchen working 8 to12 hours a day 5 days a week. The fit is good and non slip part is great but I had to take off the insoles so that my feet wouldn't hurt. Other than that they're cool.

I bought these for work because they were leather & anti slip. I think there were mislabled. I usually get 10.5 2E . These were too wide and too long .2E has always fit well , and has a extra thumb width at the toe so my toes don't get sore banging on the end of the shoe .I have a longer 3rd toe . But even with thick winter socks they were like tripping me and my foot was slipping around in side.

The shoe is cut too short or something. I read the other reviews and they say the tongue is too short that too, but they completely cut into your ankles and my ankles are small. They feel amazing on my feet and they're leather on top, so working in the medical field, I tolerate them.

Shoes are nice , hope they last better then last pair that did not make it till 6 months then sole start to come apart from shoe. New shoe send expedited but still arrived a day late and unable to use until return from a business trip that required plenty of walking ! Disappointing!

They are making their shoes in Vietnam now and the quality has dropped off. Me and a coworker had the same problem of the leather detaching from the sole on the outer part where the toes bend. They are a comfy shoe they just don't last that long unfortunately.

I bought three pair of the same size shoe but one of them in too tight on the top of my fot

2E width was tight

I am required to have leather shoes at work. These are decent but nowhere near as comfortable as the Bondi 6 was when standing on concrete all day. I also have the widest version. They feel good lengthwise but the width still feels too snug.

I am having problems with my left foot little toe hurting. And then the balls of my foot numiest.

Bought these shoes for a vacation. Too tight

The shoes are great but the tongues won't stay up

it's heavier and feels bulkier than standard line. seems like it's bigger as well. the size 9 felt like more of a 9.5

Wore this shoe 12 hours a day for the past 7 months and the comfort is still like day 1! the sad part is the left instep is splitting from the midsole because of the daily wear and tear from the kitchen. regular walking/running shoes can't hold up to kitchen grease(only shoes that do are docs and birks) but i would still choose the hoka over those two for sheer comfort

I read that they were used by medical professionals so I thought I'd try them. I've had them a month, hoping they'd break in. Still not very comfortable. I don't use them very much now.

I use the Bondi Sr. As my work shoe and I work 8 hour shifts. I have to have slip resistant shoes for my job. That because of the wet floors that can be a hazard. I bought this shoe because I love the Bondi series I just don't think this lives up to those shoes, I have only had the shoe for almost 6 months. I just don't find it worth the money if I have to replace them so often so I am going to have to go to a different brand.

These shoes were very comfortable. The only problem was that one shoe was extremely tight on the upper corner. I wore them for about two weeks, hoping that they just needed to be stretched out a little. However, after two weeks of daily use, it never changed. It was hurting my bone. I think I may have just gotten a bad batch. I returned them & was given a complete refund. No hassles.
