Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

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.

I wanted to love these Hoka’s. Several years ago the brand I had was much more solid. These were light. I need the solid support and higher platform

Fit and size were right on point. Extremely comfortable, good support, easy to wear for long periods. While I love the fit and comfort, I don’t love their aesthetic - they’re bulky and make my feet look huge!

I wear regular width shoes in these particular shoes I needed an extra wide! The Bondi 9 extra wide, to me, is the same as regular width in a Gaviota 5.

Felt true to size. I love the purple color!

Felt narrow for an "extra wide", narrower than my gaviota 5 wide and comparable to my bondi 7 wide. Wish they had better colors for x-wide. Great cushioning.

Have loved these shoes but just over a month in a piece of the sole is coming off. Going to exchange and see if I have better luck on the next pair.

I like how the shoe looks. It has the Bondi comfort, but I find the toe bed narrower than the Bondi eight. I prefer the wider toe bed.

I love the color! That tangerine is very pretty. And I love the height as well. I'm only 5'3" and it gives me some much needed reach. I have a very narrow gait, and the shoes do not hit when I walk. The stability is good without being cumbersome. However, they are a bit snug--not too long, but they seem to squeeze and rub from the top, so I have to really loosen the laces. I don't want to return them, but I wouldn't pay that much for Hokas again.

I ended up reordering this shoe in a wide. It felt narrow across the toe box. Overall a nice shoe!

fit and felt great. Coconut/off white color looks like an orthopedic shoe.

This Hoka Bondi 9 could stand to be a tad wider. I usually wear a 4E in another brand but I think it might end up ok - time and wear will tell. If it actually still comfortable after my walking routine and they are still not tight on my feet after they swell, I will be getting another pair.

The shoes are very attractive and lightweight but I'm spoiled to step in shoes now and they are just far too hard to put on in a hurry

1st pair 8W, was too narrow even for wide width. 2nd pair 8 extra wide. Fit nicely but the right shoe squeaked with every step. Had to send both back. Very disappointed. Had 2 pair of Bondi 7 that were great. Search continues for a new shoe.

The fit is good, but the toe box seems much more narrow on the 9s compared to the 8s. Even buying a wide width, they are too narrow for my foot.

Too narrow in toe box.

Couldn't fit afo in shoe
