Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

Fit well..color as pictured...delivery quick No complaints or concerns

Going up to an Extra Wide is a game-changer. We love going to theme parks and conventions, and now I can do them pain-free. I need more colors in extra wide. I hope they do this with all the shoes.

I have the hoka bondi 8 and now the bondi 9. The 9 is was more comfortable and no break in needed. They were comfortable right out of the box.

I use these shoes for my long runs. They are very comfortable and support my high arches.

I use these shoes for walking. They are super comfortable and feel good on my feet. I usually have to wear an insert in my shoes but with these ones I don't.

i have plantar fascia. I thought shoes would have been great for regular standing and walking for feet all day job. My feet hurt when I stand still in these shoes. For me these would great for walking or running. No at my everyday job. You live you learn

I have been wearing HOKAS for 5 years and have been very satisfied with the shoe performance. I was eager to try the new release Bondi 9 because I really felt Bondi 8 was perfection. Well, I'm a bit disappointed, visually the shoe is smaller than the Bondi 8, more compact. I was worried it wasn't going to fit, but it did. The built in shoe horn is a plus, easier to get on with no collapsing. After walking 5 miles a day for 2 weeks I feel like there is less cushion in the toe bed, no responsive support for the ball of my foot. I love the lavender shade, but I have an appreciation for bolder colors, they hide the dirt!

Use mostly for walking and light gym activity. I am a senior and have less padding on my feet than when younger. This shoe provides great padding while still being supportive and lightweight.

This was my first pair of Hokas and I love them! I usually stick with either ASICS or Saucony, but I like these better than both. A little expensive, but worth it!

I am a teacher and I am on my feet all day and also walk a lot. I also have had achilles tendon surgery twice and low back surgery twice. I so need a real good shoe. The bondi 9 does not hurt my feet and my back does not hurt like with other shoes. I absolutely Love these shoes!!

Comfortable and light

I love this shoe. I have a lot of problems with my ankle and this provides a much better walking experience for me. Unfortunately, I have 3 other pairs of Bondi 8's that are almost new so have to find a new home for them.

Use this shoes for my everyday walks, yo the store, mall or at the park. The shoes make me feel like wanting to run. It kinda lifts my body up as I walk.

I've NEVER had a more comfortable sneaker!!! Like walking on bouncy clouds. Worth every penny.

Runs a little large. I wish I would have purchased a half size down. But they are comfortable.

These have been great for working out, walking and running! My knees appreciate the cushion the shoes provide.

Ordered these and were excited to try the "newer model". They don't feel as plush and they are definitely more narrow. I'm really sad because Bondi 8 was my favorite Hoka- I have 3 pair (one Clifton). I could order a wider version but the colors are very limited to ones I simply don't like.

Very comfortable shoes for hiking

I have been wearing the Bondi 8s but loving this updated style: narrower in the sole, and sole design encourages a rock-forward motion. I bought the Aster Flower and my soles are a light grey/purple like the original images online. I saw some say they got a white sole.

My feet hurt constantly, I purposed these in hop they would help. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. The answer to my prayers .

As a first time for me looking into this brand I am so happy that I did good choices. My both pair of gym shoes are so comfortable. I wear between 8-9 so the chart recommend to picked #9 and they fit perfectly

This is my seventh pair of HOKAs and my 5th pair of Bondis. I bought Gaviotas last time, and , while they were great, I'd still prefer the cushioning of the Bondi. This new Bondi is plusher, a few mm higher, has a newly engineered knit ankle for security and a MAJOR comfort boost, which I did not think was possible. I do a lot of walking and have some back issues, but the Bondis keep me out there. The only thing the new Bondii 9s lack is the width of the old ones so ALERT: if you are a real W, then get the EXTRA wide! I should have asked someone at HOKA first; that was on me. But these new babies are so great that If I was invited to a formal ball, I'd wear them there! Good job, HOKA!!!!

I'm newish to Bondi. I've been ARAHI since 1st gen. Tested the leather Bondi SR, heavy - I meant to return it but missed the return window and thought, what the heck, just wear it. It turned out to be a lifesaver during my international travel where we walked 10 miles/day for a week and has become a favorite. Tried the Bondi 7 recently and there was no arch support, took a month to break in and made my feet and calves hurt. Returned it. 3rd time's the charm...tested out the 9 and I'm sold. Plush and supportive. Can't wait for more colors to come out.

I've been wearing Hokas since 2020 and have tried many but like Bondi the best. I was so excited of the release of Bondi 9. I bought the 7.5 regular, used it for a short run and thought the toe box seemed narrow. So decided to get another pair and get the wide. So disappointed after doing a short run my feet was sore and swimming in the shoes. I compared the two shoes and had two different soles!

I was frustrated with my inability to do anything about my sedentary life due to foot pain. My podiatrist suggested I wear this specific style. I am now able to stand in the kitchen to cook, go for a walk, go out and run errands! They are a bit snug - but I do believe they do run true to size; the snug fit is likely due to the hardware in my foot. I've already ordered the next size up and can wear my current pair when I'm having a "good foot day" Thank you!
