Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

Love these!! I have missed my Bondi 7s and was disappointed by the shape and comfort of the Bondi 8s compared to the 7s. The Bondi SRs shape and feel are so close to the Bondi 7s, and my feet thank me every shift! Only negatives are that the color in real life is more tan/blush than peach as described, and that the tongue slides around a bit. But overall, love these shoes!

Got these shoes for work as a mail carrier as I love my other hokas previously worn for a retail environment job. They are quite comfy and have good slip resistance, but in some spots are advertised as waterproof or water resistant. They are not waterproof while they do ok with water resistance when compared to non water resistant Hokas they do not keep my feet dry even with waterproof socks on. A little disappointing but otherwise great shoes

This second pair is a little uncomfortable around my ankle. I've tried to not tie them too tightly at the top and I've tried to not lace them up in the top holes. Next I will try higher ankle socks. Maybe they just need breaking in. My first pair, that I bought about 3 years ago, was comfortable out of the box.

I have bad arthritis in the bone of my big toe which causes pain and swelling. I walk dogs for a living so put a lot of miles on and have had a difficult time finding a sneaker that gives me support and comfort. I finally found that in the Bondi 7 and now find out they are discontinued. I wish Hoka could have let those who bought that sneaker to stock up knowing they were not going to have it available !! I tried the Gavotta but it was extremely uncomfortable for my particular foot. The Bondi 8 is okay but nothing like the Bondi 7!!! I am thankful I have found something that works for me but miss the Bondi 7.

I hadn't actually heard of HOKA until I got arthritis in my foot. Bondi's were on several lists I saw of shoes that are good for arthritis pain. The Bondi 8 were horribly uncomfortable. I returned those but these Bondi SR have eased my foot pain. They are leather so my feet get hot and of course they are a bit heavy, so not 5 stars but way more comfortable than the Bondi 8. I normally wear wide width but I had to get these in medium width as they are wider than the regular Bondi.

At first I thought these were uncomfortable, then I put my old shoes back on. These are better. After about 3 weeks the right one started to squeak. Every step. I work 12 hour days. Squeak. Squeak. Squeak. Other than that I like them.

I ordered the Bondi SR. I am a mail carrier and these shoes provide an immense amount of comfort. My only negative is that they need too be made in a wide. I have to use inserts specifically for metatarsal pain therefore it leaves a smaller area for my toes which cause pain. I also have a bunion so wide shoes are a must. I dis order a half size up so my insert would fit better..

I tried the Bondi SR along with a pair of Brooks but settled with the SR. I wear boots for work- Danner and Under Armour but my feet hurt so bad at the end of shift, I need more. I love the Bondi. I have had them for a few days and my feet don't hurt. I work 8-16 hour days on concrete working in corrections. I also recently had a foot doc order custom orthotics because of my feet but these shoes are without those. Only change I would make is offering it in a high top or boot style for ankle support. These are awesome!

I like the Hoka Bondi SR. It is braking in nicely. My only problem is the laces are a bit difficult to lace up (I am a senior.)

Full leather as I need for work. Like the Bondi leather alot better but can't get now. Has caused a blister on my heel, I have never had that happen before & I own a lot of bondi.

Comfortable

I wanted this non slip shoe to work so badly but was a bit big in the heel area and I sloshed around in it, otherwise it would have been fabulous!

Very comfortable for my feet but the stiff leather is hurting my ankles. I'm going to give it some time and hope that they soften up. If that doesn't happen I'm going to have to return them..

I bought these as I work in healthcare and amongst my colleagues these were the most popular shoe. I also ordered Hoka (a different style) for my son as a Christmas gift and he loved them. My opinion of this style is although it is stylish and the ice blue is trendy the fit is not so comfortable. The elevated sole offers a lift as if walking on a cloud, but the actual fit of the shoe is heavy and stiff. I hope this improves with wear.

I have been using these shoes for years and I have purchased 4 pair in 1 year and they all suck. They don't fit right anymore they don't last long. And I can name more.

If these shoes had more of an arch support they'd be great.

The shoes have a high arch so it gave me callouses where my arch would be and have caused me ankle pain. Also the stitching is coming out on the toe area. I work as a server and the extra heel height helps with back pain, however, not good for people with flat feet. Probably great for people that don't have flat feet.

I'm a dentist and I ordered the Bondi SR for everyday use in the office. I wore them for two days and they look like it's has been a year!! It has a cheap fabric on the shoe that they say it's a "waterproof leather" but I'm not so sure about that because it looks like liquids will damage them. In just two days the shoe have wrinkles and little holes on a side. I don't know if I received a bad or damage shoe but I am truly disappointed because I wanted them so bad. I'm giving two stars because it's a comfy shoe, it gives you a nice feeling while you're walking. Thankfully there's this 30 days guarantee so I'm returning them.

I needed new shoes for my new job, at a restaurant, so I thought, since my Hoka Bondi is are AMAZING, the SRs would be just as good. WRONG! They do NOT provide the cushion that the Bondi 8s provide. They are hard around the ankle and there is NO cushion to help relieve pain, even after breaking them in, they are AWFUL. I will NEVER by the SRs again. The ONLY good thing about these are they ARE Slip Resistant. You can do SO MUCH BETTER Hoka!!
