Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

Love my Bondi 9s! Really like the new styling. So comfortable and makes my foot look smaller than the Bondi 8. Wish the navy color was available in Wide width.

Love the Hoka 9's! Long time Hoka fan and these are the best IMO!

Needed something very cushy after foot injury and subsequent plantar fasciitis. This one does the trick.

As other reviews said, these initially felt comfortable wearing them around the house and for short walks. At the end of longer walks, I began to get shooting pains in my hips. Once I switched to another pair of shoes, no more pain. They do look nice and I liked that they were a bit less bulky than the previous model.

I was recommended this shoe by a podiatrist to help with balance. The toe box is narrower so my feet ache a little after taking them off. However, further podiatrist visits revealed Morton’s neuroma and after treatment the shoes are better. My biggest adjustment is to the rocker geometry. I can tell it is there, but the more I wear it the better I feel about the shoe. The padding does help with the Morton’s neuroma after my treatment took effect. In terms of balance, I now think the rocker geometry helps with it. You feel a little like you are giving in one direction but the shoe seems to right your off balance.

Been wearing the Bondi’s for years on my orthopedist’s recommendation. Only sneaker I can walk miles in after 3 foot surgeries.

These are great for work, standing and walking all day, but not for running - too big and cushy for that.

I always replace my insole with Super Feet insole. One complaint is the tounge of this shoes is too short. It's annoying putting on this shoes. They should have added at least 1 more inch.

I am a nurse and these are the only shoes that keep me from having any problems with my feet. Plus they look good!

Super comfortable, Love Hoga, great t quality. Recommended

Comfortable and nice color

I left an unfavorable review a while ago but have totally changed my mind. After ordering a second pair and changing up my orthotic to a lesser arch support the Bondi is exceptional! They are super comfy and I am no longer experiencing foot pain. I think I finally got it right! I ordered the wide width which allows room for a bunion.

I wish I could return these, but tried them for a few days to see if I just needed to break them in. This is my 4th pair of Hoka Bondi and this new version 9 is not the same. Giving shin splints from just walking my dog around the neighborhood.

The shoes arrived used and filthy.

My feet felt instantly better wearing these all day everyday. My 3rd pair and I’m still loyal

Very comfortable!

The answer is NO! I have worn bondi for many years. Now I'm disappointed. The Bondi 9 runs small, short and narrow. I've ordered and returned several colors thinking perhaps different colors run differently. Not so. I can't find the right fit. I'm a consistent 7 1/2 W. The Bondi 8 is a perfect fit for me. I will be switching to NB more v 6. Thank you Zappos for the opportunity to try the shoes so many times.

It feels tighter than the Bondi 9 I was wearing

I usually wear a Clifton. I wanted to try this Bondi out, because I haven't before. I am on my feet alot at work as a nurse, so I have been ordering 6.5 to help the swelling after the end of a 12 hour shift. Clifton 10 in size 6 worked for me. I was wondering if I sized too far up and my gate was becoming off. The Bondi 9 Wide in 6 feels very narrow and smaller.

The shoe style was new to me as I had been wearing the Clifton 9 for several years. I chose the Bondi 9 because of the color and I thought it was much like the Clifton. I was wrong. The right shoe was fine but the inside panel of the left shoe hit me right below the ankle bone and banged into my ankle bone terribly until it actually hurt. I have rather bony ankles so perhaps that was the reason, although the right shoe did not do this. I could not deal with it because it truly hurt. Could have been a defect, don't really know but I elected to send them back and ordered the Clifton 10 in a similar color and they are perfect! Zappos was great in returning the charge to my card for the return and at the same time I ordered the other shoe and I had them literally in 2 days with no shipping charges.

Been wearing the Bondis for years. Love the more streamlined look of the Bondi 9 vs the 8.

These fit my wife perfectly and helped her walking immensely.

it is a beautiful sneakers buy it needs more cushioning , once you have them on they are not comfortable at all. it feels like you are walking on hard floor , not for me.
