Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

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.

Still rating this shoe high even though it doesn’t work for me. I could tell this shoe would be dreamy to stand in all day. The sole is built strong, the fabric holds you in but the arch on the sole is way to narrow for me.

Even though this was an extra wide width it still was too tight in the toe box.

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 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.

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.

Super comfortable, Love Hoga, great t quality. Recommended

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.

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.

This shoe felt slightly smaller than all my Bondis of the past, but not enough that I'll send them back. Love the color way. Hate that they don't have the loop on the heel to assist with putting the sneakers on. I didn't realize how much I relied on the loop until I didn't have it anymore.

Am returning becauseI liked the other color I ordered

Not quite as comfortable & supportive as I expected.

Love the shoes, just not completely satisfied with overall feel of shoe, which is probably due to some foot problems I have.

Size and fit were as expected. Love that I have multiple colors to choose from. These are now my every day shoes. Both my orthopedist and podiatrist recommended this brand. My podiatrist suggested the Bondi model due to the neutral support it provides. Was able to easily place my custom orthotic in these shoes after removing the Hoka supplied insert.

I have bondi 7 and 8 but these run to narrow.
