Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

I’ve been wearing Brooks Ghost for 10 years. I decided to try the Bondi 9 and absolutely love them

Love the color and fit

I bought these in regular width and they felt narrow. I returned them. I went to a local store to try on the wide, and they were a much better fit for me. The guy at the store said that wasn't the 1st time this happened. I have worn Hoka for several years and never needed a wide before.

Version 9 is way narrower in an extra wide than the prior version in a wide. Very disappointing. I have been wearing Hokas for many years, way before they became popular. Started with the Cliftons but they became too narrow and not enough cushioning. Now the same is happening with the Bondis. I need the wide in the toe area due to bunions in both feet. Looks like I'll need to try a different brand.

Great running shoe. Love a colorful running shoe. The arch support is great and they are very comfortable. Plus the shoe laces stay tied. Nothing is worse than running and laces keep coming untied.

I have a narrow size 8.5 foot; however, the 8.5 would hit my toe resulting in moving towards a size 9. Shoe appearance 10 out of 10, although I wish there would be less white and more multi colored. Size 9 is more comfortable. Arch support, not as much, I still get pain when just walking on the pavement. As a person that struggles with FibroM and joint pains, this shoe does not support me as much. Cushion, there isn't much.

This is a super color! A very light lilac, not white. If I could have ordered these in a Wide size, I would have kept them.

I am a teacher and my Hokas are the only shoe I can stand in all day.

These are cute and comfortable and basically exactly what I was looking for in an everyday shoe for walking, standing, travel, running errands, etc. They feel stable and supportive and plush. I have super high arches so it's hard to comment on arch support. I had tried the Bondi Slip Resistant in 2024 and had not found them comfortable on my feet although my daughter loved them, but these Bondi 9 Hokas are excellent for me with high arches, a tendency to roll my ankles out and walk on the outside of my foot, and a relatively wide toe area.

I wear a size 8N and when I bought my first pair, I decided to try the medium. Sometimes a medium is too wide, but sometimes it fits without being too tight. I bought my first pair before I took a trip to South Carolina (I needed new sneakers) and decided to try them out there. I did many miles of walking and they were very comfortable. They may cost more, but they're comfortable and if you walk a lot like I do, your feet won't hurt when you take them off.

These are excellent shoes for anyone who walks on pavement --- so well cushioned. Have owned two other pairs up to now, and I don't see any dip in quality in the Bondi 9's.

Light blue and black fit great. Light gray was bigger and wider overall? Great show for plantar fasciitis and heel spur. On feet all day on hard surface so these help.

I loved, loved, loved the Bondi 8 previous model - the world's most perfect shoe with a large toe box and amazing cushioning. I have no idea why Hoka altered perfection. The Bondi 9 is not the same at all; it is a shorter shoe in length and a narrower toe box (and in my opinion, not as good color options- but the shoe doesn't even fit so that's the main issue). I am so sad and as I've been trying other options in the Hoka line, none are working out. The Hoka Bondi 8 was my favorite shoe ever and I'm just really bummed. I sincerely wish they would bring it back!

I've ordered Bondi for years. Unfortunate to make sizing different.

Another great pair of HOKA with great customer service and fast delivery!

So cushioned and very comfortable! Love this version from HOKA.

So very comfortable, and definitely noticed less knee and hip pain when wearing . Also helps maintain good posture-

Most comfortable walking shoe I’ve ever known! I can walk further with no to little foot pain-after 2 foot surgeries in the last 2 years. I gave four stars for style because they are a bit clunky, but I know that’s needed to provide the cushion. I will definitely be purchasing in additional colors!

I had a Bondi 8 that I wore walking on many an international travel and loved them. When they finally wore out, I purchased this pair of Bondi 9 in the same size. They felt wonderful! I have only been able to wear them two times because although they feel great for the first half hour to an hour, after a while my right foot is extremely uncomfortable making them unwearable. Since they felt great for the first bit of time, I didn't save the packaging and can't return. But something is definitely very different (and wrong for me) about this Bondi 9 shoe. I have never had this happen to me with any other shoes I've owned, so I'm pretty certain it's the shoe and not me. A very expensive mistake and I won't buy Hoka's again.

I have narrow feet, size 8.5, but this shoe felt tight and it kept putting on pressure on my big toe. There was no way that I could comfortable run, or walk without discomfort. I ended up with the 9.5. Love the color and fit. Who knew I was a size 9.5.

Love the 9 . More comfortable than the 8.

These looked perfect for my narrow feet and heels, but my heel slipped while the front of my foot felt uncomfortable. There was awkward/not a lot of support for the balls of the feet. The only HOKA I can wear, I believe, is the SR -- a bulkier shoe, all leather. I wanted to try something different, but I'm going back to the tried and true.

Fit my usual size and is extremely comfortable and supportive. I don't like the way they look but foot health is more important. They are much more comfortable than my old sneakers.

These are so comfortable and were recommended for my foot surgery recovery!
