Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

This is my 4th pair of Hokas, but I have always bought the Bondi 8, which I have had no issues with. I bought this new Bondi SR b/c it is leather and I thought it would be better and longer lasting since I work in a restaurant, but a few weeks after wearing them, they started squeaking badly to the point I can't wear them anymore without being very annoying and annoying everyone around me. Pretty disappointing for a shoe that costs so much.

These shoes are really hard and not really comfortable to work all day on them

Although the cushioning is good, I got blisters the first time I wore them. I have tried three different types of socks and moleskin to stop the rubbing on the inside of the heels, but really disappointed that these expensive shoes do not fit. I wanted to use these in my nursing job, but cannot.

They make you slip and slide all over the court I'm sending them back

I've been a Hoka shoes fan for a long time , I always purchased the Bondi 8 version , when I bought that shoes I was very disappointed by the way it fits, feel on my feet and I couldn't wear it for more than 4 hours even its the right size and width.

My first pair of Bondi SR was so comfortable that I stoppted buying other brands. Over the past 4 yeas I have bought 7 pairs of Hoka shoes for my wife and myself. But my second pair of Bondi SR was not as nearly as comfortable as my first pair. It completely lost the "walk-on-cloud" feeling I had with my first pair. In fact it feels so hard that I still prefer to wear my 4-year old pair! This shook my confidence and I am not sure if I will buy another pair.

I bought these shoes at a reputable, specialty shoe store and had a fitting. These are wide and clunky, but most of all horribly uncomfortable. The soles of my feet and especially my heel is screaming in pain from wearing these shoes. Once you wear these outdoors, you can not return them. What a total waste of money.

I bought these shoes thinking they'd last, but they've started tearing after less than a year. They're really comfortable, but for the price, I expected them to be a lot more durable

I work in a truck stop deli. I am constantly moving, walking. I got these day before yesterday because they were supposed to be great, certainly NOT cheap! Instantly they felt awkward around my ankle, not very cushiony, which was whatever, had never bought arch support work workshoes before, especially for this price. Ist and 2nd day of wearing these, did not help my heels feel any better at all, and to top it off, now I have a blister on my left arch! Have to be back at work in 2 hours, haven't slept at all because my left foot hurts from this blister. They say no pain no gain, this pain is no gain. Exhausted, and NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO WEARING THEM ALL DAY AGAIN, as I have NO CHOICE!

I thought spending money will make a difference but to be honest the Skechers shoes way better Hoka shoes makes me feel very bad and alot of pain sorry to say it but its not worth it

Great cushion, enough support for medical and restaurant job. However, air circulation is a problem for me, at the end of the day, my feet are hot and sweaty. I really think the air circulation weights heavier than waterproof for me at this case.

I wish I could get my money back. I was very hopeful these would work well for me, but they leave my feet worse than my old shoes.

Dont buy from HOKA

I bought these after a proper sizing and fitting at a running store, online as my size and color were not available anywhere. For shoes that are meant for all day wearing and comfort, these have been very uncomfortable to wear - in my first two weeks, they have hurt my toes and feet with about 6-8 hours of wearing on the go everyday. I had seen the other low reviews online earlier, but trusted the brand and got these. The top leather is getting all wrinkly and they are very uncomfortable after a few hours of wear. Sorry to say that these are not even half as comfortable as my earlier Sketchers that cost nearly half of these shoes. Really disappointed with the quality and comfort. :(

These shoes have are the worst, they have now caused me hip pain and for the price, it's just not worth it at all!

Comfortable for walk but not to work in the kitchen. I have sore hips when I wear them. Not recommend for kitchen staff.

Terrible purchase. I have other HOKAS and they don't feel the same

I ordered 2 pairs of these shoes. The first pair looked more lavender than white. I returned them and tried again because the agent I chatted with said that these shoes ARE bright white and that I must've gotten a pair that had something faded on them. These are not as bad, but they are NOT actually white, they have a blue/gray tint to them. My nursing school would not approve these because they don't look white in person. The midsole, laces, and collar lining are a bright white. The rest of the shoes (the leather parts) is what looks blue/gray. I'd also like to add that these shoes are not super comfortable, they made me feel unsteady. I have wasted 2 weeks dealing with these shoes and still haven't gotten the shoes I need for nursing school in a month.

I ordered a pair of these a few months ago and had to return them the left shoe was defective and gave me blisters the first night I wore them, no big deal got ahold of customer service and was able to send them back waited a few weeks and ordered another pair just to give them the benefit of the doubt and same thing happened only it was in the right shoe this time total waste of money will never buy these again.

I purchased Bondi SR 11.5wide on March 7th. They are 1/2 size too small. I need a size 12wide. Unfortunately it has on back order since mid March. Today 6/24/2024 it's still on back order. Customer service today told me to return that shoe for a refund in stead of waiting for the shoe to come off back order. Ok what ever they could have told me this way back in March. In the mean time while waiting for shoes to come off back order, on April 25th I purchased 12wide Bondi 8 because they were available. Amazingly they are coming apart 2 months later. I called customer service to get a replacement for the replacement I had to buy. To my amazement I was told I have to buy a 3rd set to replace the replacement that replaced the set I cant get because its on back order. I can return the 2 sets of shoes to the HOKA store. Here is the kicker, one set I can get a complete refund for the Bondi SR in 11.5 wide and for the 12 wide Bondi 8 that are coming apart, I will get a HOKA website credit for another HOKA product. Why would I want another HOKA product when I cant get them to stand behind the ones I have? The worst part is in March I also bought a Bondi 8 in a 12wide Grey in color that I love, I've had no issue at all with that shoe. So do I leave one good review and 2 bad reviews? I decided I'm returning both sets of black Bondi shoes and moving on to a different shoe company. Gonna give KURU a try. I will give my wife or someone else the credit. I'm done with HOKA the shoe comfort is great. They are 2 for 3 on quality and zero for 2 on customer service. Too bad the service after the sale sucks.

I am returning the shoes for a refund!
