True Stryde fit tip

The Bondi SR is roomy through the forefoot, and the wide (2E) suits most broader feet. If you wear orthotics at work, bring them in so we can check the fit with them in.

FAQs

Is the Bondi SR waterproof?
It’s water-resistant leather, not fully waterproof. It handles splashes and spills well, but it isn’t built for standing in water.

Is it good for nurses?
Yes. It’s one of HOKA’s most popular shoes for healthcare workers because of the deep cushioning, slip-resistant sole and easy-clean upper.

Can I run in the Bondi SR?
It’s designed for walking and standing. For running, the Bondi 9 gives you the same cushioning in a lighter, more breathable shoe.

Care

Brush off dirt and wipe with a damp cloth. Air-dry away from direct heat. Don’t put them in the washing machine or dryer.
