Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

Good fit-like the material and wear them all the time!

I wear Hoka shoes because the thick soles help my plantar fasciitis. It's also easier to simply order the same shoe each time. I wish the "all black" shoe was, in fact, all black.

I've had problems with finding a shoe and this is finally it.

I love Zappos and I love Hoka. My only complaint is with Hoka. Although I love their shoes the shoe laces are ridiculously long. This seems like a new thing with Hoka since I’ve been wearing the brand for years. Every time I buy a pair I have to then buy shorter laces because when I wear shorts the laces whip my ankles and it drives me nuts. First world problem I know.

Perfect fit. Great combination of firm support and superb cushioning

This Bondi is "more attractive" than last years model that I have. It is not as bulky looking on the foot. The foot cushion is great. I am however experiencing a heel issue that I have had about a year...and the fit of the shoe on the right heel is extremely uncomfortable. Bondi will not work for me this time.

The fit is excellent and the color is nice. They are very comfortable for long walks.

Great service and shoes

I feel like I am walking on a cloud! I have extremely flat, narrow feet and this shoe is so comfortable. My ankle pain disappeared after I wore this shoe to work. The shoes aren't considered stylish around my area, but I like that they look sleeker than other sneaker brands. Will definitely be purchasing another pair so I can alternate and extend the life of my Hokas!

Normally I do not wear a wide sneaker. I have multiple Hoka sneakers and never had to get a wide width. I originally ordered these at the same size as my other Hokas and I returned the sneaker for the same length but in a wide width which fit perfect. They have more cushioning than just about any other sneaker I've bought and are extremely comfortable and surprisingly do not feel like you're giving anything up laterally. I would strongly recommend them but be aware if you're feet are borderline order the wider width.

Probably the best shoes, at least that I can remember, like ever.

Thank you for bringing the squishy back. I’ve been wearing Bondi since version 5. Over time the foam became a little more firm each time (at least that’s how it felt to me). The 8 being the most firm. They have been my go to for everyday runs, but I do prefer a softer foam to absorb the road impact and save my aging joints. I don’t need a fast shoe because I’m not racing in them, just road running for health and fitness. The fit is a little different than the 8. I always buy a wide EE but these wides are slightly less wide than previous models. The width still works for me but I can feel the difference. All in all I’m happy with them and will continue to buy more.

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.

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.
