Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

This is my 2nd pair of Hokas. Loved the first pair and wore them out. I find this recently purchased pair uncomfortable. They seem smaller despite being the same size as my first. It's also impossible to keep the shoelaces tied without double knotting them. I don't think I will buy them again.

They are a extremely comfortable shoe. Only problem is they are already coming apart. The glue/stitching could have been much better. For 170 I can't afford a new pair every 6 months.

I have bought several different pairs of HOKA shoes over the years. I bought these for work and soon after I got them they started squeaking. Every step all day long regardless of the surface. They are very comfortable but the squeak is so annoying I quit wearing them. It was just after the warranty ran out so I guess it's on me.

I don't like the shoe, particularly in comparison with the superb Gaviota LTR it was intended to replace. The Bondi SR is heavy and I find it too difficult to adequately tighten the laces.

I purchased these due to HOKA discontinuing the Bondi LTR in black leather, which were a really great shoe. The Bondi SR are a great shoe, but there are a couple of issues that are problematic! The soles on these squeak "REALLY LOUDLY" on any hard surface - especially the left foot - as another reviewer commented. The squeak is almost to the point of these shoes being returned as it is annoying and other people comment about it, but these are the only shoes that I can find built like this and are good for all day comfort for work on my feet all day. The soles also are designed with too many small cracks that allow EVERY piece of sand and tiny rocks to stick in the cracks and stay there unless you pick them out with a sharp object. I always have to buy the wide width in the Bondi shoe as they seem to be a tight fit otherwise. The comfort and feel is about the same as the Bondi LTR, but these are just not acceptable replacements for what was a great shoe with the LTR that they don't seem to make anymore.

I purchased my Hokas for Emergency Room shifts as a Paramedic Student. The shifts are 12 hours and all of it is spent on my feet. For the first four weeks everything was GREAT! felt like walking on clouds. But then one shoe developed a squeak. always after 8 hours on my feet, every step squeak.... Cleaned the shoe with no change. Now I wear them for 6 hours and then switch shoes to prevent the squeak.

Sneakers ripped exactly where heel meets the sneakers. Hoka should offer a satisfaction guarantee instead of a 30 day guarantee.

Did not fit well and does not breathe very hot and uncomfortable. Had such high hopes. Not for orthopedic.

After running many miles in my Bondi 6, I found out they came in leather, so I purchased these to work in. I soon noticed how short the tongue is. This creates additional pressure at the place you tie, instead of spreading it out. There is not enough to pull it Straight! My 30 days have elapsed, or I would exchange. Other than this issue, they feel good on my feet!

Not as comfortable as the Hokas I had before. They just don't feel the same.

Shoe is coming apart on side. Real comfortable on feet but the side coming apart is a concern. Tread is holding up well

returned bondi sr, but then bought 2 other pairs, black bondi 7 like my last pair, and then found my dream pair, clifton 7 in orange....yay!!!!on sale too, yay again

The most comfortable work shoes I have ever worn!

Love hoka, but this one was too small even thought it's the same size in other models that fit well

I wear them around the house, going to the store, workouts on an elliptical, and other low-impact activities. They are very comfortable, but the laces must be very loose to get them on. The laces are so low-friction they frequently come untied. After just over six months of wear (warranty is only 30 days), the lace broke completely through an eyelet. Definitely not worth the price.

The shoes look and feel great once they are on my feet, but after a couple days, they started giving me pain in my lower back. There isn't enough support in the heel. I went back to my other shoes and the back pain subsided. I work in retail so I do a lot of walking.

These shoes are great since I am on my feet all day, however they are very narrow. I would purchase again if they came in wides.

love the clifton but Bondi too heavy for my taste

Shoestring are so slick will not stayed tied. Shoes are good but won't stayed tied even if double tied.

Compared to hoka Stinson atr 6, this shoe is heavier and stiffer. But then this bondi sr has a leather upper, somewhat expected. But not as comfortable as the Stinson.

These shoes are comfortable, but they look like clown shoes. It's difficult to tell in the pictures. And while yes, it appears there's free returns, be aware that you will have to pay the additional fee of sending your shoes overseas to return so it's not without a risk to make a purchase. Don't make my mistake.
