Our verdict

The Bondi SR is one of stampa hoka's bestselling models. We found it fantastic when we spent long periods with the pair on our feet. And if you often deal with wet floors in your work environment, we Run that its slip-resistant (SR) outsole and water-resistant upper are irreplaceable. As long as you love the bulk of this monster shoe, its benefits are plenty.

HOKA Speedgoat 4 Sport Schuhe für Herren Größe 40 review

Breathability

With the shoe's water-resistant upper made of genuine leather, we didn't expect much breathability in the first place.

We used a smoke-pumping machine to assess how much air passes through the Bondi SR's upper. As you can see, it all gets trapped inside the shoe's sealed leather upper. Thus, the shoe gets the lowest breathability score of 1 out of 5.

As you can also see from our transparency test below, there is not a single perforation on the shoe's upper to let the heat out.

We even tried looking for some ventilation holes with a microscope but to no avail. This shoe is practically air-tight.

Durability

Toebox durability

On the upside, the shoe's leather upper is phenomenally wear-resistant. It is by far the most durable upper on a walking shoe that we've seen!

Applying a Dremel to the shoe's toebox for a whole 12 seconds, we didn't even get halfway through the material! It's going to take forever for this kind of upper to wear out. We believe that it justifies the shoe's above-average price.

To provide some perspective on the Bondi SR's durability, we put it next to another stampa hoka shoe. We applied the same force and speed of the Dremel to both shoes.

Unfortunately, the heel padding didn't do so well in our Dremel test, earning the lowest score of 1 out of 5.

Apparently, the brand went for softness at the expense of durability. Because we have seen some really sturdy heel linings. Look at the one from the Adidas Ultraboost for example. Doesn't even look like it was drilled!

Outsole hardness

As a slip-resistant outsole, it is supposed to be on the soft side to provide a strong bite on smooth surfaces. Pressing our durometer against the rubber gave a reading of 73.1 HC, which is 6% softer than the average.

The downside is that the shoe has to give up some of its durability to achieve that level of grip.

Drilling the rubber with our Dremel felt like cutting butter with a knife. Within 22 seconds, the tool went right through the rubber down to the midsole.

We turned to a tread gauge to measure the depth of the emerged dent and it was a whopping 2.48 mm deep! For comparison, the average is only 1 mm.

Weight

The Bondi SR is a pretty big boy.

It tips the scale at 14.3 oz (404g) in a men's US size 9 which is a whole 4.7 oz (132g) heavier than walking shoes on average!

However, we believe that it is a reasonable weight given how much cushioning and support this stampa hoka shoe provides.

Cushioning

Heel stack

HOKA Challenger 7 Chaussures pour Homme en Black.

Using a caliper, we measured the stack height at 39.4 mm in the heel. That's a crazy 8 mm thicker than average!

Impact protection and all-day support are guaranteed with that amount of foam. Even if you spend a 12-hour shift on your feet!

Drop

Based on the stack measurements above, we found that the heel-to-toe drop of the stampa hoka Speedgoat 4 Sport Schuhe für Herren Größe 40 is 8.2 mm. This is a little taller than the officially stated 6 mm.

But you won't even notice the difference while floating atop this cloud-like cushion.

In addition, 8-10 mm is a pretty standard heel elevation for a walking shoe. It provides even more landing comfort for the heels as opposed to the lower-drop shoes that feel more barefoot-like.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

On its official product page, stampa hoka categorizes the Bondi SR's cushioning as plush. We can subscribe to that statement after measuring the shoe's softness with a durometer.

Difference in midsole softness in cold

What's really amazing about the Bondi SR's cushioning is that it doesn't turn into a brick when exposed to low temperatures.

After sitting in our freezer for 20 minutes, the foam firmed up to 29 HA which is still 34% softer compared to how firm the other walking shoes got.

So, if you are planning to make it your fall/winter shoe, you can still enjoy the soft underfoot experience.

Meta-Rocker

The shoe's midsole has a curvy shape on purpose. As part of the brand's proprietary Early Stage Meta-Rocker design, it is meant to provide smooth transitions from heels to toes.

This design really worked wonders as it felt like we were actually rockered into the next step.

Stability

HOKA Clifton 8 Chaussures en Summer Song Ice Flow Taille 36 2 3

The stampa hoka Speedgoat 4 Sport Schuhe für Herren Größe 40 is meant for neutral pronation as well as supination (excessive outward ankle rolling). But there is so much support woven into every aspect of the shoe that we think it could also heel at home for mild overpronation (inward ankle rolling).

Torsional rigidity

First of all, the Bondi SR is incredibly stiff. So much so that we couldn't even twist it in our manual test. There is no give whatsoever, earning the shoe the highest score for torsional rigidity: 5 out of 5.

Heel counter stiffness

Another important stability component is the heel counter stiffness. Having pushed and squeezed it in every way, we rated its stiffness as 4 out of 5 (nearly the stiffest!).

Paired with the generously padded collar and sturdy leather upper, it creates a very cozy yet secure clutch around the ankle.

This made the stampa hoka Speedgoat 4 Sport Schuhe für Herren Größe 40 feel almost like a stability shoe!

Midsole width in the heel

The Bondi SR is just as astonishingly wide in the widest part of the heel - 102.2 mm. That is 15 mm wider than average!

Wow... With such a wide landing area, it doesn't get any more surefooted. This is another reason this stampa hoka shoe feels so safe in the workplace.

In addition, we can recommend this Bondi to seniors who are likely to appreciate plenty of stability underfoot.

Flexibility

Stiffness

Bending the foot is just not happening in the Bondi SR. It is nearly impossible to flex this monster sole.

In our lab, it took 52.7N of force to bend the shoe to a 90-degree angle. A whole 143% more than the average!

This stampa hoka shoe makes you forget about normal foot gait. It makes you feel like you have small cushy boats attached to your feet.

Grip / Traction

The grip is insanely good in the stampa hoka Speedgoat 4 Sport Schuhe für Herren Größe 40. This walking shoe totally lives up to the marketing around it (SR stands for slip-resistant).

Kitchens, hospitals, warehouses - this shoe nails it when you have to speed through wet tiles or any other slick surfaces.

Tongue: gusset type

The shoe's tongue has no gussets on the sides which is probably reasonable given how little breathability there is already.

But we didn't experience any issues with tongue shifting or bunching thanks to its massive padding.

Tongue padding

Everything about the stampa hoka Speedgoat 4 Sport Schuhe für Herren Größe 40 has to be superlative.

Now it's the tongue padding. Measuring its thickness with a caliper, we found it to be 11.1 mm thick! This is twice as big as the average tongue.
