Previously Asked Questions About the Women's HOKA Bondi Slip Resistant Road Shoes

• How do I clean my HOKA Bondi Slip Resistant Road Shoes?

  To clean your HOKA Bondi Slip Resistant Road Shoes, follow these steps:

  • Disassemble your shoes by removing liners, insoles, and laces.
  • Wash laces separately in a laundry machine on a cold setting with regular detergent. Remove them before transferring to the dryer.
  • Remove excess mud and dirt from the outside of the shoe.
  • Scrub clean with a non-abrasive solution: Mix a small amount of natural dye-free detergent, dish soap, or dandruff shampoo into cool water. Gently work into dirty areas of the shoes and insoles with a toothbrush until a lather forms. Remove dirty water with a dry towel or rag as you go.
  • Wipe with a damp rag: Wipe off all remaining soap lather with a towel or rag dampened with cold water.
  • Blot and stuff to dry: Blot your shoes and insoles with a dry cloth until they are no longer soaking wet. Stuff your shoes with newsprint to let them dry overnight. Keep insoles separate. Do not dry shoes outdoors or use a heat source, as both sunlight and direct heat can warp them. For added odor protection, include a dryer sheet or a light dusting of baking soda with your wadding.

  It is not recommended to use a washing machine or dryer for your running shoes, as this will age them rapidly.

• Is the Women's HOKA Bondi Slip Resistant Road Shoe available in a 9.5 wide in white?

  The Women's HOKA Bondi Slip Resistant Road Shoe is currently only made in regular widths. SCHEELS offers other HOKA styles that are available in a wide width.

• How does the width of the Women's HOKA Bondi Slip Resistant Road Shoes compare to other HOKA Bondi models?

  While these HOKA Bondi SR shoes do not come in a specific wide width, they fit true to size with a wider-than-average toe box. We recommend ordering the same size in these as you would in the HOKA Bondi 8 or 9.

• Which Hoka women’s shoe is best for neuropathy?

  Good shoes for neuropathy typically feature a roomy toe box, extra cushioning and shock absorption, and slip resistance. Here are a few Hoka options that may be suitable:

  • Hoka Bondi 9: One of Hoka's most cushioned shoes, designed to reduce impact on sensitive feet, and often recommended for neuropathy due to its comfortable EVA foam.
  • Hoka Bondi SR: Offers similar plush cushioning with the added benefit of a slip-resistant sole.
  • Hoka Arahi 8: Provides balanced cushioning with enhanced stability, which can be beneficial if you experience unsteadiness or have pronation issues.

• Are the Women's HOKA Bondi Slip Resistant Road Shoes made of leather?

  No, the Women's HOKA Bondi Slip Resistant Road Shoes are not made of real leather. They are constructed with faux-leather (synthetic) uppers, meaning the material mimics the look of leather but does not contain real animal leather. They are vegan-friendly and made from man-made materials.

• What is the expected lifespan of the heel collar on the HOKA Bondi Slip Resistant Road Shoes?

  For heavy-use workplace environments (such as healthcare or the service industry), the heel collar on the HOKA Bondi SR typically lasts anywhere from 6 to 12 months, or approximately 300 to 500 miles of walking, before the internal foam begins to break down or the lining tears.
