Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

Never thought I’d spend this much in a sneaker! Boy it is so worth it I don’t even know I have a sneaker on? Don’t hesitate. Buy it. I wear a wide shoe so it can be difficult to find happy I was able to get my size. Happy with my purchase.

I love these shoes. This was the second pair I bought. Won't be keeping them, because I bought multiple colors and chose to keep another, but love them all the same.

Still my favorite tennis shoe!! I love the max cushion the Bondi provides and the bondi 9 is no exception. It always takes a day or 2 to kind of break them in by they fit great, ordered the same size as the bondi 8 . Really wanted a darker blue but I’m liking the bright neon blue for a change.

This shoe is Great so Far

Love these shoes

Great shoes - I am wearing them during training for a walking marathon. I bought a duplicate pair for the event - will use after brief break in.

Too narrow

They are slugger in the toes than my old bondi , but theydon'tpinch my toe like other brands. As with the bondi 8 model, the insert doesn't provide enough cushion for my feet they hurt my feet after an hour of wear, but the insert is removable and I can replace it with memory foam and my feet are happy.

Very nice shoe and comfortable, but I ordered a half size too big.

Love these sneakers. I always size 1/2 size up in running sneakers. The dark gray with pink accents is a nice color combo. The only disappointing thing is that Zappos took away their military discount. I used to buy all our sneakers (family of 5) at Zappos but have switched to other stores. Only bought these hokas because the color combination was not available at another sporting goods store.

I have worn the shoe for a while and do not like the Bondi 9. I always insert my own orthotic but I believe it is providing too much arch support. My feet are so sore after wearing them that I can’t wear them anymore. Thankfully I stocked up on the Bondi 8 and have gone back to wearing them. My feet don’t hurt at all. I also ordered the Stinson but they are not wide enough but are more comfortable than the Bondi 9. Not sure what to do.

Amazing as usual but prefer Bondi 8 over the 9.

My favorite Bondi, but this pair I had to reorder in an XWIDE rather than just a wide. Love these shoes

I've worn Hoka Bondi shoes for several years. This pair has a narrower toe box and is incredibly uncomfortable. Unfortunately I waited too long to try them and can't return them.

Another great pair of Hokas! These shoes for me were an upgrade from the Bondi 8s and I have to say that I really like these. They look a little less clunky but still have that great Hoka feeling. I got the silver/gray ones and they are a nice neutral color, but not so white that they will get filthy too fast. Overall these are great shoes and I have no complaints. Feel great to walk in, support my foot nicely, and work well with my custom orthotics.

Why did they change from the Bondi 8? I have been breaking these new 9's in and now am afraid to wear them with socks of any thickness because they are so tight. My size hasn't changed-I bought other shoes in my same size and they are fine so this is a Bondi problem. Won't buy again.

I previously had worn the Bondi 7's for a couple of years and finally decided to get the newest model Bondi 9. They fit well and are comfortable for a wide foot. The cushioning is excellent. I use these for walking not running. Arch support feels average. I usually add orthotics although I haven't yet. I also like the fact I was able to get the shoes in a more neutral color (gray/white).

Feels true to Bondi fit—which IYKYK is the big fear—I love the laces that match the shoes—I got the blue color, but they are kids size so you can barely tie them. Wound up tying single itsty bitsy teensy weensy bow that came undone so tied them in a knot mid-walk then cut them when I got home. These shoes are too expensive for this game.

I have worn Hoka Bondi's forever and I love them for their comfort and cushy innersole. I have had a lot of foot problems over the years. My current pair however, arrived from Zappos and they were were not the WIDE I have gotten in the past, they were more like a medium. I exchanged them for the X wide and they are fine. My only complaint with the Hokas (and many others would agree) is they just don't last as long as they should. For the amount of money they cost they should last longer than 6 months and that is all I can get from a pair!

The arch support is amazing. When Hoka talks about the cushioning, I expected it to be in the shoe, cushioning my feet. It's all in the sole. I have a bunion on my left foot which makes the sneaker feel tight. I was expecting more for the price.

Felt good but I felt like I needed more stability. It made me feel like I was going to roll my ankle.

I ordered my usual Hoka size of 8 med. The shoe was quite small and uncomfortable. I then ordered an 8.5 med, also too tight. My third try of 8.5 wide is better but still not as comfortable as my many previous Hoka's. Also the material felt cheaper, and the shoe now lacks the back loop which was helpful in putting shoes on. Altogether an inferior shoe and this is the last pair I will get.
