Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

Actually it was a gift to my boyfriend. I will write a review in a couple of weeks

This is the best shoe for my wide feet and I have a swelling issue. Wore them all day without concerns, helped with my knee pain.

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.

Purchased 12 and to snug in toe box. Usually shoe size is 12. Purchased 12.5 and it fit onfortably well. (Colors look "sharp".)

The shoes were a little narrow in the toe box for me. They rubbed my bunionettes. Also, they weren't as cushiony on the bottoms of my feet as I like.

My usual shoe size is 10.5 medium wide. The Hoka Bondi 9 10.5 medium wide is to narrow.

Probably a great shoe for some people, but I unfortunately found it to be way too narrow.

Width tight for a 4E

Fit was very good although they were a little wider than I expected. Style was very good.

The length was about right but the width was not a 4E that I’ve experienced with other shoes. The few steps I took with right shoe, it was like walking on a cloud.

I have been wearing Hoka for years, primarily, the Bondi model. I have an orthotic and absolutely have to have a 4e width. At a minimum of the 2 years, the Hoka manufacturers has consistently cut the 4e width to a 3e and 2 e. I will not be ordering Hoka anymore.

The fit and size are fine, but I preferred the cushioning of the Bondi 8. The Bondi 9 out of the box feels like the Bondi 8 after seven months of use. My tendonitis came back after a couple weeks of wearing the Bondi 9.

A bit too plus and bouncy. After three weeks my feet haven't adjusted and are aching in different parts

good

The Hoka Bondi 9 seem to be narrower than the Bondi 8. I own 3 pair of Bondi 8's (same size and width as the Bondi 9's) and they are all much wider than the new Bondi 9 shoes.

I wear a 9.5 XW in a woman’s shoe, so I thought an 8.5 4E in a men’s hoka bondi should be a comfortable fit. Not so. Hokas, like so many shoes, must be manufactured with an Asian last. The shoes’ width of 4E still felt narrow and skimpy and the length seemed a half size too short. They were uncomfortably narrow and short, which was further aggravated by a low toe box. The cushioning did not feel adequate either. Just not a good fit for me.

Blisters forming on the outside or bottom of the big toe, the toe box is too narrow.

Too much cushion for me in back of shoe. made my knees hurt.

I have a pair of Hoka Bondi 8 and love them, and wanted to get another pair. Because apparently they are being discontinued and the inventory is very limited, I bought a pair of Bondi 9`s. Initially, they felt great, though noticeably narrower in the forefoot. After wearing them for a week or so, I experienced the same issue another reviewer stated, that is low back pain. I already have back issues but with no other reason the pain worsened. I`m not certain it is cause and effect, but several others have reported this, so I am not taking a chance and returned them.

As stated this shoe feels one size smaller with a very narrow cramped toe box. Appeared by the condition of the packaging that I was not the foirst person to return this pair of runners.

Shoe was so small I could not even get on my foot.

I could not even get the first shoe I tried on my foot. You need to change the 4E-Extra Wide designation to "Just a wee bit wider."

much to narrow

I had multiple pairs of Men's Bondi 8 before purchasing the Bondi 9. I immediately sensed a difference especially in the heel. The heel is lacking support, it felt missing. I started to have foot pain in my right foot after wearing the shoes for a few days. I also don't like the bright reflector on the toe. I would prefer it on the back of my foot. I don't run, but I use the shoes every day and ideally I want them to be entirely black to wear them even when dressed for work.
