Hoka Bondi SR Review --Worth the Money?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2024
- I've now bought the Hoka Bondi 6, Bondi 7 (2x) and now the Bondi Sr.
I like them all, though is the Sr much better than the 7? It's also NOT a running shoe, and that's a bit different.

HOKA SR = “slip resistant” (not “senior,” 😂). 👍
Oh man! Well, THAT'S embarrassing! Guess I missed that part.
And yeah, Senior sort of makes zero sense.
😂
I was wondering what the Sr stands for 🤔🤔😂😂😂
Damm all thought they were for me ( almost senior) 🤣🤣🤣
🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣
Very helpful review. Thank you! I appreciated the details you provided. Until I read the comments below, I didn't know what SR stood for (slip resistant). With your additional information, I decided to order a pair. Many thanks!
Awesome. Let me know how you like them. I still wear mine every day. The soles seem to be holding up very well--though they tend to be a bit squeaky on hardwood floors. :)
Oh sorry, also I bought the black ones for work and they feel great. I have high arches and these have great arch support. I would recommend for people standing or working on concrete floors alot. I work in a hanger. They are comfortable and cushiony and slip resistant. Was $10 cheaper in the store than online. Also be aware I normally buy size 12 and sometimes wide (EE) but in these I had to buy size 13 and they fit perfect. I would recommend.
Good to hear. Yeah, I like them so far. A little snug right now but still breaking them in. I am traveling soon and don't want to break them in during the trip of course.
Hi! Is bondi sr version warm? What is the minimum temperature to walk in them without your feet freezing?
Hmmm...I think perhaps warmer than the running shoes. The material is tougher, and the soles are pretty sturdy too.
How would you compare the width of Bondi SR vs Bondi 8. I'm asking cause I have Bondi 8s in a 4E for work. I would prefer to buy the SR over the 8s for durability but they only come in a 2E wide. So I'm curious if the SR is wider shoe then the 8s.
I find the standard widths to be the same. Both are fine shoes, but I will usually wear the 8s because they are lighter and more comfy. When I go outside, I try to put on the SRs since they are more sturdy.
I'm just not sure I notice much difference in the widths. My feet are pretty standard, and I do feel the side edges on both shoes so I imagine if one's feet are wide, a wide shoe will certainly be needed.
SR stands for Slip Resistant
Heh, yeah, someone pointed that out. :D
So like another comment SR=slip resistant for work, all leather for durability. They are not for running. Bizarre review, you talked about all your other shoes and how they wear out because you don’t take the time untie and tie them. People are looking for how they feel and hold up in the work place. You get a F. No more reviews for you.
LOL! Snarky much?! But yeah, I didn't buy for running. Just a walking/around the house shoe. Certainly for work, they may be great--in the right job.
I did a follow-up recently. Might be good to check out that video. While I used them for about a year, I did stop after getting another pair of Bondi 8. The SR were just too heavy (30% heavier than the Bondi 7) and not comfortable like the 7 and 8.
That said, the soles are a beast. I wore them every time I went traveling around the world and the heels (8 months later) are as good as new. Solid material there! Other shoes like the 7 and 8 wear out shockingly fast.
So okay: for feeling...I'd say 6/10. Durability 10/10.
Hope that helps. Cheers!
No need to be angry 😡 if you read between the lines there is allot of take aways from this review
SR means Slip Resistant. Not Senior.
Ha! Yeah, learned that after the video. I do still use them when I go out, and for travel. Around home, I use the Bondi 8.
Does this help with flat feet and do they have good arch support ?
It's not huge in arch support. Some, but not a great amount.
Is the stack height of the SR taller than that of the bondi 7?
I believe they are close on paper, but the SR definitely seems higher. Notably, the angle seems less so I would not want to go running in the SR, even though it's listed as a running shoe on the Hoka site.
I'll be getting the Bondi X soon and will test those for running.
@@renaissancejames Thanks for the quick response! - Hows the heel cushion been holding up? - my bondi 7s heel cushion ripped in 3 month!
@@deepanjitsinghkohli2487 Wow. I've never had the heel rip before. I've gone through two sets of Bondi7, but I replace when the heel gets too low, and that's after 500-1000 miles of dirt and road running.
The SRs are doing great so far. The only issue is they seem a little narrow and don't appear to be loosening up much. I've used them every day for a month now, and used them to travel in London, New Orleans, and Seattle.
So far, so good. The heel is much different than the Bondi 7--more of a tougher rubber and a lot of it. I am not seeing any wear at all yet. But again, I only use them for walking around and never for running.
@@renaissancejames nice to hear that. Will be getting the SRs then. And also Hello from Seattle!
@@deepanjitsinghkohli2487 Right on! Yeah, I was basically using the Bondi 7 for running and then using them as walking shoes once the heel got too low (usually after 500 miles). They are extremely comfortable for walking around, but the SR does have stronger support. Both are great options, though I would never use the SR for actually running.
I'm using the Bondi X for running now. Not as plush, but good for going a little faster.
Hope Seattle has received some sunlight. I was there a few weeks ago. I visit about five times a years. It's my second home.
The Bondi SR are waterproof.. that's the main dif
Yup, yup. And I have yet to slip. :)
And they are heavier because of the leather upper. And they have much more rubber on the outsole
Hockey Van Van Senior...
Because why not? 🤷🏻♂️
Indeed. :)
Glad it helped!
Not 1 1… pronounced like when you say the the letter O and say O- nAe O-nAe
Yup yup. Good to know.
I can’t imagine the countless hours and days you save by not lacing the shoes each use. Lol
Ha! Thanks for watching. :)
Slip Resistant 'SR'
Yup yup. :)
Not pronounce "hokee"
Its "HOKA"
Cool cool.
SR = Slip Resistant
Yup yup.
Sr is “slip resistant “
Yup. That is correct. :)
Slip resistant = SR
Yup yup. :)
SR=Super Rad
Ha! Yeah, works fairly well.
Slip Resistant chief haha senior
Bloke try new balance bub
I did try New Balance at first. I liked them, but the heel was too solid for my knees and feet. The HOKA's cushioning really helps me avoid joint issues.
So Bondi Sr is better at cushioning than NB 1080, Fresh Foam More or Fuelcell Rebel?
Hokees 💀
Senior 😂
Ha! Me too, but now I've been corrected quite a few times. :)
Senior? Hahahah. SR stands for slip resistant.
