Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

I love Hoka's. I own a dozen pairs. I always buy size 10 M. This pair fit too small, my foot was falling asleep. I wore them in the house several times, making sure they did not show any wear.

Did not fit well and did not provide expected stability

The Bondi 8 was much better for my feet.

Tried in house for several days. Just could not get my toes comfortable. Long enough but kept pressing against top.

Feet felt great but the shoe distorts my stride resulting in soreness and stiffness on outer thigh and hip. Also curved sole throws off balance a bit

Too small, although I've worn the identical size in HOKAs before. Great shoe otherwise, but will be returning them for a New Balance option which have fit me even better in the past (they have 4E widths)

These shoes are very narrow. I exchanged "Wide" for "X-Wide" and even "X-Wide" is still very tight. Very happy with it otherwise, just sad they don't fit my giant duck feet. I'm hoping they'll stretch a bit.

This is my third or fourth pair of Hoka Bondi's. I didn't like that there was no extra support where the top attaches to the sole. It was real flimsy.

If you have wide feet the Bondi 9 is not for you, look for a Bondi8. The Bondi9 4w is about the same width as the Bondi8 w, not sure why the discrimination on wide feet maybe not enough of us and money talks.

the arch hit my foot wrong

Felt tight compared to my old pair Bondi 8 width 2E

I wear an 11 Wide in all my other shoes, but these Bondi 9 shoes were much narrower than I expected. They were so tight I had to return them after a couple of days and order the X-wide pair. Other than the width I was very happy with them.

Fit was small. Return replacement for correct size process NOT available?!

Too narrow.

Very little arch support. Pretty much no cushioning from insole.

very disappointed in the bondi 9. ordered a 4E width and it's more narrow than the 2E width of my bondi 8.

There's no support in the sole are towards the front. Feels narrow.

the shoes sole made it too high for my husband

Horrible buy. This show is so narrow at the front and provides no support. Wore it once and forgot about it. Wish Zappos can take it back as I missed the March return deadline.

These shoes are horrible. Every complaint about the cushioning is spot on. It's like walking on outdoor furniture cushions that have been left in the weather too long. There's no flexibility or spring and after walking only half a mile I was hobbling. The arch support is terrible and it's far narrower than any other wide width shoe I've worn. I'll never buy another pair of Hokas!

To tight feet hurt walking short distances

Not well Made!! , you could see visible stiching where the laces are..such a premium cost for a low quality.

I found these shoes very uncomfortable. I wore them for a few hours in the house, my heel sank into the rear of the shoe, the sole did not feel very supported. They completely changed the geometry of my ankle and it felt very unstable. By the end of the day my ankle was in agony, later that night I was tempted to go to the ER due to the pain. Thankfully the pain started to subside overnight, but it took 4 days (Wearing other sneakers) before the pain was gone

Quality has gone way down. Glue visible at the seams, in some places not fully glued. Price higher, quality lower
