Hoka

Bondi Slip Resistant

Women's

This shoe feels so lightweight and the cushioning is very comfortable! I'd say I have a pretty average arch, where I like some support but the shoes with pronounced arch support will hurt my feet. This was perfect for me, and probably flatter-footed people; but if you like a lot of arch support this may not be for you. I wore it around the house to try it out, and after a couple hours, I could feel the pressure of the tongue/upper pressing into the dorsal part of my foot. By the time I took them off, my feet took a few minutes for the circulation to return to normal. Perhaps because it's leather, there's less give. So if you've ever had that issue with other shoes, it might also come up with this pair. Also, the pull tab at the back was kind of annoying in conjunction with my scrub pants. The tab sticks out horizontally, so my hem would get caught on top of the tab every time I got up from sitting, which looks messy. That said, the cushioning for the soles of my feet was wonderful. It was true to size and there's lots of space in the toe box. If it weren't for the upper issue, I could definitely see myself wearing these for a full day on my feet and feeling very well supported. I'd still give it a try. I did like it, but the gripes I had with it were a dealbreaker considering the price.

This shoe is wonderful !! I have hip and knee issues and this shoe allows me to walk. And because it is leather and not cloth, my foot can not move around in the shoe. My foot is stationary, and my heel gets the cushion it needs. There is ample room in the toe box for my toes to be comfortable. In a NB shoe I wear a 2 EE or double ex wide. In the Hoka I wear my normal 7 1/2 medium width, or whatever this shoe comes in. Hoka had a similar shoe years back and they discontinued it and nothing else worked for me. So happy, they brought back the sole and the new design is nice tool Thank you, Hoka One One !

I love my HOKAS! I work as a nursing tech in a hospital and I am also in nursing school. I got my first pair of hokas for work and decided to purchase this pair for school. Hoka saves my back from 12 hour shifts on my feet. I highly recommend these to anyone that is on their feet for long periods of time. Worth the price.

I had the Bondi 7 before and really loved the comfort they provided for working 12hour days, but eventually they looked used up and then the material tore where the shoe met the sole. To replace them I went back and forth between the Bondi Sr and leather Brooks... so I got both. Bondi is definitely larger and roomier and has better cushioning so for me this is more comfortable. The size of the shoe is bigger and chunkier though, so the look is not for everyone, but chunky shoes are fashionable now and it work alright for my office, but not formal dress job. If my work wasn't so casual I would probably still be able to pull off the Brooks shoe, but not sure about the Bondi.
