Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

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

These shoes were true to size. At first they seemed very comfortable. As time wore on, however, the shoe felt heavy and there was not as much vertical room in the toe box as I would have liked. I might have added them to my shoe line up, but at $170, they needed to be a perfect shoe. For me, they were not.

Great shoe just definitely not wide enough, and maybe too much arch?

I wanted to love these and planned to wear them for a three-week trip to Europe, but the tongue came very high up on my ankle and irritated my tendons. I tried tying the shoes many different ways and could eliminate the irritation on the right foot but not the left. I am sad to return my first pair of Hokas and to resume the hunt for cushiony shoes to wear on cobblestones.
