FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Bondi SR offers excellent cushioning, its design is optimized for walking and standing in workplace environments. It is not specifically designed as a running shoe.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoes should feel snug but not tight. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Consider trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear for work.
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
Yes, the Bondi SR features a water-resistant leather upper and a slip-resistant outsole, making them suitable for environments where moisture may be present.
What is the main difference between the Bondi SR and other HOKA shoes?
The Bondi SR is specifically adapted for work environments, featuring water-resistant leather and a slip-resistant outsole, whereas other HOKA road shoes are typically designed for running with a focus on breathability and lighter weight.
How often should I clean my Bondi SR shoes?
It's recommended to wipe them down after particularly dirty shifts and perform a more thorough cleaning as needed, based on usage and visible soiling. Regular light cleaning will help maintain their performance and appearance.
What material is the midsole made of?
The midsole is constructed from EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate), which is known for its lightweight, cushioning, and shock-absorbing properties.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the issue persists, try wearing them with thinner socks or consider if the specific fit is suitable for your foot shape. Break-in period may be required.
Reduced slip resistance over time
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth and brush to remove any embedded dirt or residue that might be affecting grip. Ensure the floor surface is also clean.
Leather appears scuffed or stained
Use a damp cloth to gently wipe away surface marks. For more stubborn stains, consider a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear, following product instructions carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult use, particularly suited for those in service, healthcare, or any profession requiring prolonged standing and walking. They are compatible with standard sock choices.
Care: To maintain the condition of your Bondi SR shoes:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the water-resistant leather with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole. Ensure the tread remains clear for optimal grip.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can warp the materials.
