The Bondi SR is Hoka's most cushioned road shoe rebuilt for work: a water-resistant full-grain leather upper over the same plush EVA midsole and early-stage Meta-Rocker geometry. Its slip-resistant rubber outsole was tested against industry standards on wet, oily and soapy surfaces, which is why it turns up in hospitals, kitchens and clinics. It is heavier than a running Bondi at 11.5 oz with a 6 mm drop, and the leather upper runs warmer and stiffer than mesh. Rivals like the Dansko and Alegria work clogs offer firmer support and easier cleaning; the Bondi SR wins on cushioning and traction, and owners rate it highly for long shifts on hard floors.

The Hoka Bondi SR is a work-focused version of the Bondi, the most cushioned shoe in Hoka's road-shoe lineup. It is built for daily use on the job, including in the service industry and the medical field.
The upper is water-resistant full-grain leather. A padded memory foam collar helps lock in the fit, and a soft lining wraps the tongue. The full-length EVA midsole provides plush cushioning, and an early stage Meta-Rocker gives a smooth ride.
The outsole is full ground contact, slip-resistant rubber with a tread designed to optimize traction on a variety of surfaces. Its compound was tested against industry standards, on surfaces with water, oil and soap.
