I have a herniated disc issue and I've worn Bondis for about 5 years. The Bondi 9 are by far the best for my back!

I'm so HAPPY you changed the Bondi 8 to the Bondi 9! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
They are so cushioned and comfortable. Please make more colors. I'd buy more pairs. I've been wearing the Bondi for 10 years!

The Bondi 9 hurts on top of my foot just below where the shoelaces tie. I bought several of these in different sizes and each one causes pain in that same area. The stitching comes to a point in that area and it feels like it jabs in to the top of my foot.
I previously bought the Transport X in blue, and I loved that shoe, but then I re-ordered it in different colors and all of them hurt my foot in that same area just below where the shoelace's tie. I don't know if Hoka has a new manufacturer or what but they're making the shoes too tight in that area below the shoelaces and since the shoe was synthetic it won't stretch out. We can loosen the area where the shoelaces are but we can't loosen the part below the shoelaces. I hope Hoka can figure this all out because I really would like to keep these shoes but I can't. I just bought a shoe from a different company and it's not hurting the top of my foot so I know it's not me, there's a problem with the Hoka shoes lately across the top of the foot below where the shoe shoelaces tie.
Unfortunately I have had to send all of these shoes back.

Very happy with my Bondi 9 shoes. Not as wide as the Bondi 8, but no discomfort.

These shoes are amazing. They are super plush and comfortable while still offering stability. I work in healthcare and am on my feet all day. I love these shoes and cannot wait to get a 2nd pair.

Clunky and heavy. If you have a thin foot and are not a big person, this shoe feels like you are running in a cement shoe. The new model is a definite improvement. Great for standing on your feet all day. It is also overpriced.

I like more the bondi 8 style, it is wider on the sole so it makes me feel more comfortable. It doesn’t have the “hook” tu pull up the shoe when you’re putting it on.

As a nurse I loved the Bondi 8! Stopped all foot pain after walking all day at work! Received the Bondi 9 and they are not as comfortable and more narrow! I will send them back and try a wide ? I wore a regular 8B in the Bondi 8. But just be aware that the Bondi 9 are more narrow.

I'm a cake decorator who works for a big grocery store in FL. This new Bondi is a game changer - I have 7's and 8's but the 9 is just incredible! The heel and ball of my foot feels great even after double shifts on our concrete floors. I highly recommend these if you are standing up daily for work. I've noticed less pain in my knees and back as well.

If you have wider feet, I highly recommend going for the EXTRA WIDE version to ensure a better fit.
I ended up returning it and replacing it with an EXTRA WIDE (8.5 EE / Black/white), and the difference was significant. My toes now have more room, and I no longer feel that uncomfortable pressure.

I love Hoka running shoes, and have been wearing them from way back when the Stinson EVO was around. However, the last Bondi that I purchased and kept was the Bondi 6. But, since they're finally starting to fall apart after hundreds of miles, I knew they needed replaced. I have tried the Bondi 7, and the Bondi 8. I did not like the fit of either. I always buy an 8 Wide (I am generally an 81/2 overall in any shoe, and I always like a wider toe box). I am SO HAPPY with the Bondi 9. The fit and feel is back, they are stable and plush! I tried both the 8 Wide and the 8 X-Wide. The 8 X-Wide would be great it I was just going to use them to walk around in. However, they are too wide/sloppy for running since there is so much room on the sides of my feet. So I stuck with the 8 Wide, especially since the new material is so stretchy.
Excellent job, Hoka! Thanks for making the Bondi the perfect running shoe again!

I absolutely love my new HOKA Bondi 9 sneakers! The cushioning and support are top-notch, providing that perfect blend of comfort and responsiveness whether I'm running or walking. The extra cushioning really helps reduce impact and keeps my feet feeling great, even during longer sessions. They also have an amazing pop of color that adds a fun touch to my wardrobe. Overall, they're an excellent choice for anyone looking for performance and style in their footwear.

I bought the Bondi 9 because I'm on my feet all day. They are very supportive and so comfortable. I've had ankle surgery and MCL issues that require a solid stability shoe. The Hoka shoes have been a game changer. I now have 3 pairs and could not love them more.

I own several pairs of HOKA Bondi 8, was excited to see the difference in the Bondi 9, and it does not disappoint! Very cushy, comfortable, with a roomy toe box, it's like walking on a cloud. Most comfortable shoe I've ever had. Hoping for more fun, girlie colors. Highly recommend.

It is a fabulous shoe, comfortable, supportive, looks great. I wear it for hours at work, TJ's, my feet never hurt and the shoes require no break in time. The tennis shoes have changed since I was a kid. Thank Goodness! Love the Bondi 9. Thanks you HOKA.

The sole on this shoe appears to be lavender, but it is bright WHITE! It really changes the look of the shoe. Not what I was hoping for, and I even verified with HOKA before ordering because I noticed another reviewer complained of the same issue. The shoe is fine, but HOKA needs to fix the photo.

I have had Nikes and OnCloud and they are comfortable. But THESE - These Bondi 9 are like my feet aren't touching the ground. No symptoms to alleviate like plantar fasciitis or bone spurs, but just sensitive feet and I like to feel like I can put these sneaks on and not give a second thought to lasting all day wearing them.

As always Hoka comes through. As a Nurse who works long shifts and on my feet all day the Bondi's are by far the most comfortable shoes I have ever wore. This is my 4th pair of Bondi starting with the 7 which are still in very good shape and as comfortable as the day I bought them (which was 4 years ago) I will never own another brand !!! B

I bought the purple bondi 9. On the ad it appears the bottom of the shoe is a light purple. It is actually white. Very big difference in appearance of the shoe. Not sure if I would've bought them had I known. Otherwise, the shoes are very comfortable. It is disappointing to spend so much on shoes and them not be what you were expecting. Not worth the hassle to return.
