Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

2

They feel good when you first put them on. I work in a kitchen and by the time I get off my feet really hurt so bad that I can barely walk to my car. My sketchers slip resistant feel better than these shoes. I really had high hopes for these shoes. My foot is sore on the opposite side of my arch.

I walk 12 miles a day on average, mostly on pavement, some grass and other surfaces, so it's very tough on shoes. I think I got these in March or April, so that's over 1k miles on a pair of shoes, I was hoping to get another couple months. The exterior of the shoe and the sole have held up fairly well, but the collar started coming apart the first month and they've become painfully unbearable at this point. Perhaps a redesign with a leather interior or something? Seems to be what actually lasts in shoes I've had for a while. But I can't buy shoes every four months, six is bad enough. They were pretty comfortable, I'm not a fan of the high stack but a dr recommended them so I gave it a shot. Also, I had to order a half size up fwiw. If you work inside and don't have to take your shoes off 10 times a day to get sticks and rocks out, they would probably do really well.

I wore out my Clifton 9 shoes that I loved and replaced them with the Bondi SR because they say its the plushest shoe they make and I wanted the leather shoe for easy cleaning. After the first 3 miles the bottom of my heal hurt so bad I thought I would get a blister. The next day I use my old Clifton 9 shoes and walked 5 miles with no problem. Every time I walk with the SR my heel starts hurting again. Maybe they need break-in time but the Clifton 9 was plush and amazing the very first time I wore 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 used it for a full day shift at the hospital and i was on pain on the top of my feet. I think the tongue is thick and causing more pressure and discomfort.

I wore these shoes for just about a week now and part of the left shoe where that comes up the soul comes up around the toe. The glue is coming undone. And I've had some pains in my knees since I've worn these shoes so I don't know what's going on. At this time, I'm not really happy with these shoes.

Bought in their Manhattan store, I am an x-ray tech who works 10+ hour shifts and these are the most overpriced and uncomfortable shoes you can buy for the price. They're stiff, my feet begin tingling after a few hours. The tongues never stay centered, they slide to one side because there isn't enough material, (I actually ripped the stitching on one of the tongues from pulling them straight all the time), nor is there enough room for comfortable socks so go up a size. And the laces are total crap. They must untie themselves 5 or 6 times a shift. Think Payless cheap. For the price they could give you something that stays tied. I should of brought them back but was hoping they break in a bit but they aren't. Overrated!

I am a postal carrier so I do put miles on my shoes, but I've had my pair for roughly 8 months now and they are literally falling apart. First and foremost I had to buy insoles because the arch support is limited as well as the outsole doesn't seem to be as cushy as it appears or would be. Secondly the inner heel portion started to rip part after 4 months and by 6 months it's bare plastic and yes I untie the shoes and give a lot of slack to remove and insert my feet. Now at the 8 months mark the leather is literally separating from the sole, not exactly what you would expect of a near 200 dollar shoe.

Be aware, if you wear these shoes outside on anything but clean pavement, the soles of these shoes pick up and capture everything you step on, including mud, small stones, pine needles, etc, and they are impossible to get out. These shoes should really only be worn inside.

Had these for 2 years, the insoles after six months needed changing. The first year I worked everyday no days off (11 hours days ) and they felt like you are only meant to wear them for 5 hours. I'm writing this review because the front detached from the midsole! The glue just detached overtime. Definitely need to make the next version more feet friendly, conserve your feet and help recovery while you wear them. A better insole with better arch support. I bought a recovery shoe from a different brand and the foam feels better than the Bondi SR.

This pair of shoes will not last more than 3 months, very comfortable but the sole wore really fast. Wish they make tougher sole.

Compared to my M Bondi 8s, these shoes are heavy and clunky.

I purchased these for my husband to work in as a UPS driver. The confort was good but the quality of the shoe didn't last long. Outside material feels cheap and the sole was separating from the shoe.

I have a 5th metatarsal fracture that is non union (has not healed). I went to my local running store to get measured and was told my size for Hokas was 9.5. I bought these shoes and they have helped a lot with the foot pain and seemed great at first. But after 2 weeks I don't know if it's because of the slight toe drop my big toes on both feet are bruised and sore after wearing them. It's a bummer because I wanted to love them but unfortunately I can't recommend.

Too heavy, doesn't stay tied, straps on back too small and too expensive compared to other Hoakas

I would like to exchange this product with a same shoe size and color. Right foot is too much tight. The tip of the shoe the glue is off already

I bought them for work . Super heavy shoe . Big mistake .

Shoes can't wear, says size 12 ,but they are 11 1/2 Very uncomfortable and I have 4 pairs of hokas and they fit good size 12 . I walk 7 miles everyday I am a custodian at a school .

I ordered this show again because I was happy with it the first time around. I ordered the exact same in and the sole is become separated from the shoe. I tried to call and got nothing. I tried to email and got nothing. I hope this review finds someone who will listen.

These shoes are both stylish and comfortable. However, I had to exchange them for a larger size, as my usual size was too small. After a month of wear, primarily city walking, the material inside the back of the shoes has started to shift when I put them on, making them less comfortable. The shoes are still in great condition and look new, but the material doesn't seem to be very durable.

Hoka products are normally amazing right out of the box. The cushioning soles are Hoka quality, but the upper portion is made out of a material that is so ridged I've haven't had time to "break them in", so i can wear them for my 12 hour shift.
