Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

ordered my usual size (men's 11 extra wide) and it fit great. Very comfortable

Like the redesign - not so wide. Ankle doesn't want to roll with side to side movements

Men’s Bondi 9, after wearing them two times they felt so soft and a lot of cushioning. Love them now for the support they give me. Also.,jogged a mile and a half in 18 minutes with Bondi 9, faster than Bondi 8. 79 year old male now.

In Bondi 8, I wore and was happy with a Women's Size 8.5 W. I have wedge-shaped feet and this particular style worked well. The new Bondi 9 seems to be, for me an unhappy, return to Hoka's normal narrower profile and my former size no longer worked. Decker, the maker of Hokas, told me the specs on the Women's and Men's versions were similar but that the Men's were supposedly a little more generous in sizing than the Women's in comparable sizes. I tried that route but not true for my feet. Comparable sizes were very close in feel. I like the color offerings in the men's much better so settled on Men's Bondi 9 in size 7 (comparable to Women's 8.5) Extra Wide (which is very close to the Bondi 8 W--go figure) instead. It's a just a little longer in the front than the women's but the gray color is so much better. Thanks, Zappos, for the depth of inventory and ease/speed of ordering! Have been a VIP member for years and so happy!

I loved my Bondi 8’s and was worried the 9’s wouldn’t be comfortable but I have been very happy with them so far and think they will be quite comfortable.

This is my first time wearing Hokas. Very nice. I need a roomy toe box, so I had to get Extra Wide. One of my wife’s relatives is a big walker, and Hokas helped her knees, so I gave these a try. The cushioning makes the shoes feel elevated. I am getting used to that, and to the soles rocking design. It makes me pick up my feet as I walk. Good times and a bit of adjustment.

Great fit and sizing is true

Bought for my son in law and he loves them

Loved the Bondi 8 not sure how the 9 became so much better but wow! These are like walking on a cloud with a little support and your feet and the rest of your body with thank you later. Great job Hoka.

Still not wide enough

Love the look and support but felt it was a little small

I've worn these several times since getting them. Done a lot of walking in these new shoes. Love the color and style of the shoe. It could be a little wider, but I did not see a "Wide" choice on this model. Could have a little better arch support. Overall, happy with them for the price I paid.

I love Hoka Bondis! I needed a new pair and I’m probably on my 5th or 6th pair of Hoka Bondis. As usual, the sneakers are so comfortable. I purchased an unconventional color as it was on sale, but surprisingly, I received a compliment on the color at work. The available colors are so vibrant.

Super comfortable shoes for walking

I have a very hard size to fit as a woman. I wear a mens 7 4E since women's don't typically come in 4E. The problem with these is where the laces start at the mid foot, it's not flexible and even when you loosen the laces a lot it's not wide enough.

I'm a little disappointed; it's too narrow.

Ordered the wide version after trying on the normal width due to some nerve issues in my feet. While the wife gave my toes the room needed, I couldn’t get a good lockdown. Going to stick with the Cliftons. Great shoe that just didn’t fit me.

I bought the men's extra, extra wide because there were no extra, extra wide sizes available for women. There are still few and far between and it is very disappointing. They are too clunky and I only wear them around the house. No complaints on the support and extra cushioning. My major complaint is that there are TOO FEW extra, extra wide for women. I did eventually find 1 pair in a women's Bondi but it took months of searching. MORE PLEASE.

sneakers should have been marked as opened

Very well made. Just a little too small in length and width. Will reorder half size up.

Size was probably correct but shoe just didn’t fit my foot right.

The Bondi 9s are my go-to sneaker, for road/tread running, walking and casual nights out.

After 25 years in the Army, my feet are in rough shape. My Hokas (I have several pair) are more comfortable than other competitive brands, and I've worn a lot of them. This was my first purchase of a Bondi 9, purchased primarily because they come in 2E width, but they're great looking too. They cushion impact when I walk, and they also offer good support. I now work in a large hospital, and Hoka is by far the at the top of the list when it comes to folks on their feet all day.

I prefer the more cushioned Bondi 9
