Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

While I liked the shoes overall, I found them uncomfortable when I briefly slipped them on. The side cuts didn't conform the my malleoli, rubbing against both of them on each foot.

I have been wearing Bondi's for years--ever since I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. Hoka did wonders for my plantar fasciities and I like the Bondi line. Prior to the Bondi 9, I was a little disappointed with the Bondi 7 and Bondi 8--not due to the comfort, but those previous versions wore out much faster. The inside heel started tearing after just a month or so of wear (take into consideration that I walk 8 miles a day, however). To my surprise, the Bondi 9 held up for more than 7 months and over 1,500 miles of walking with little sign of wear on the inside heel. Very pleased.

I got these for my husband and he had to get used to the rocker, he would wear them awhile and put on his regular old shoes. But he kept wearing them and finally got used to the different feel. He’s 6’4” and they look good and sporty looking. The material is comfortable, he has the black color and they look great with jeans and casual clothes.

The Bondi 9 fit as expected with excellent cushion from heel to toe. The toe box is as expected with plenty of room and firm support.

These shoes felt great the first time I wore them. The fit is perfect, and the quality is high. Recommended.

These shoes fit perfectly for my foot. I'm 71 and have lower back issues. I was looking for a shoe that would allow me to walk a few miles and provide some lower back relief. I just got home from a 4 mile walk and my back feels fine. The shoes provide a good deal of support and heel cushion. I think they look a bit odd and bulbous, but I'm at that age where function wins out over style.

I’ve been through two pairs walking 4-5 miles on pavement daily. Great shoes! They have helped get over a long bout of plantar fasciitis. I had to go up half a size.

Perfect for wearing to work.

Needed the extra cushion for my plantar fasciitis. So far it’s been very helpful.

Best Hoka's ever. Really cool looking and so comfortable.

I really like the shoe, very comfortable

Perfect- fit, comfort, colors

I’ve never been a fan of Hoka because they’ve made me feel like I’m leaning back. The Bondi 9 doesn’t have that feel. I’m 66 years old and walk quite a bit at work. Anywhere from 7 to 12 miles a day. So far these have been great and the fit is perfect for me. Hopefully the sole will last and not wear out too soon.

I always try all shoes to make sure the ones that feel the best for all day and walking. Hoka Bondi 9 is one of the best I have found. I tried the other maybe cheaper Hoka's and NO. Stick with the Bondi9. I have 3 colors. The great thing about Zappo's is they have the best color selection.

Perfect! Love my Hoka's Bondi!

This is the perfect shoe for me. I don’t run, but I walk everywhere. Wearing these is like walking on clouds.

This is the second pair of the same shoes ordered. They give great support and really help my knees feel better.

Hoka sneakers are great for people with foot problems. The Hoka Bondi 9 was recommended by a foot specialist. This is my husband’s 5th pair. They have relieved his foot pain. Although they look a little funky, he loves them.

I'm going to reorder.

For me Hoka's seem to run half size small and narrow but when you find the right combination like I think I finally have found they are so comfortable!!! I can actually walk in these all day and not want to tear off which is a big deal because I prefer a life with no shoes & I have neuropathy. Not a winning combo for shoes companies to compete with. Because I have a high bridge I have to wear a full size bigger in shoes that tie up (like tennis shoes). I normally wear an 11W in women's but in Tennis shoes it is a 12W. In Hoka the women's wide don't fit me at all I had to go to a men's 10.5 wide to find my true Hoka fit and they feel great!!!!

Great fit. Bondi 9 (and 8 before it) has been my go-to shoe for some time. Excellent for street and treadmill running and for casual wear.

Family and friends urged me to try these shoes. They really were true to size and I found them very comfortable!

Good & improved fit, sole seems not so high.
