Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

They are my second pair of Hokas. These hands down are the most comfortable walking shoes for me.

Long Time Hoka Bondi fan, but I'm searching for alternatives as the outsoles barely last 2 months. I run 3-5 miles nearly everyday (i weigh 132lbs) so I had been replacing quarterly which is bad enough and i'm lucky I can budget for that, but these Bondi 9 models haven't made it 3 months. I last purchased about a week before Halloween and I really won't make it to Christmas. My outsoles are completely smooth (no traction on 11/28) That's crazy. Please improve this HOKA.

These are miracle shoes for my plantar fasciitis! I highly recommend them!

I bought the 7W and it did not have the width of the bondi 8 in the instep and toe box will try double wide.

BUT BUT BUT ankle kept hitting the side of shoe. Not a problem with Clifton 9. Had to return.

I love Hoka. The Bondi's are all I wear. I have back problems and I'm on my feet all the time at work. These shoes give amazing support and keep me from experiencing back pain. They're super comfortable and last forever. I would recommend these sneakers to anyone who needs something extremely comfortable that lasts all day. Definitely worth the investment

These shoes are so comfortable. I wear them all day for work.

This has such superior arch support, I do not need to use my orthotics. Thank you for this awesome shoe!

I am generally not a fan of super cushioned trainers, but these have a reasonable amount of cushioning and support. For me, the cushioning was more manageable and reasonable than the new Clifton. The Clifton is wider, softer, and the 8 mm drop is not a positive change. The Bondi preserved the 5 mm drop, which adds stability. It is a true neutral shoe, and I think it works best for running. For speed walking, it’s just okay. I also like the Mach 6—it is more versatile. I hope they don’t change the Bondi or the Mach again.

My favorite running shoes. Great support and comfort. My only complaint is the soles wear out faster than other brands I've bought.

I won 2 pair, wear them all the time

They feel really stable which is nice. The new style has a narrower toe box that makes the shoe feel smaller then the bondi 8's and not as comfortable. I hope they return to the nice toe box of previous models. I won't be able to wear my winter socks with this pair. I'm afraid to exchange for the wide as the heel fits fine in this pair.

Perfect fit with my orthotics-super comfy!

I love Clifton 9 of this line and thought to try a shoe with more cushioning as was described. The sole is thicker and the foot bed much the same outline BUT my ankle bumps against the side uncomfortably. . Returning and will buy another Clifton 9.

they really are like walking on air!

I was concerned based on other reviews that these shoes would run narrow so I also ordered the wide. No need- the regular fit perfectly. It took a day or two of walking for the comfort to kick in and now I never want to take them off!

I love these so much that this is my second pair, which I put away until I need them! What else is there to say?

I've tried this shoe on in a well-known shoe store however this exact same shoe from Zappos is not the same. There is a seam at the arch that is very bothersome however it's not there on the shoe in the store. Very strange.

Love these! Seem to offer more support and cushioning than my previous pairs of Hoka's. Fits true to size.

I like the Bondi 9 much more than the Bondi 8, because the front of the footbed is narrower and it doesn't look as bulky on my foot. It also feels much more cushioned. I also like the traction because I walk steep hills and get quite a bit of momentum going downhill. I have a plate and screws in my foot from an extensive foot surgery and these are the only shoes that feel extremely comfortable. I bought a darker color this time because the lighter colors get dirty too quickly.

They felt good the first 3 days, then my back and feet started to hurt. I'm on my feet all day and good shoes are essential. I'm still in search of the right shoe for me.

I pull 16 hour shifts mostly on my feet the whole shift. These are amazing! Great support and cushioning is amazing
