Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

I use my Hokas mainly for walking 4-5 miles per day. I have long been a Bondi 8 fan. I have received my Bondi 9 as a gift from my husband. They are beautiful and I have only worn them around the house so far. I guess you would say I am saving them for when my Bondi 8's wear out. They fit the same as Bondi 8 which is a big concern and the color is lovely. Thank you Hoka!

These are the best feeling shoes I've ever worn. I feel like I'm walking on clouds

Love them so comfortable and no break in period. I found these to be more comfortable than the bondi 8. Can't wait for more colors to come out so I can get more. Love my Hoka shoes. Great for being on feet for long shifts

Great support and comfort. deep enough to accommodate an orthotic

So far these are the worst of the Bondi "upgrades". I have a pair of Bondi 5 (or 6) , that I use for yard work, that are more "plush" than these. The hard high heel back was awful. The color was nice. I guess it's time to start looking for a new "plush" shoe.

This shoe is perfect from the first time you put it on! Great for knee and back issues.

My dog got a little dirt on them and it would not wipe off. I had to wash them and kept them spotless but something keeps causing a discoloration on them. I can't stop it. I also hate the fact that white on white is purple.

I've been using Bondi for many years- consistently replacing every 3-4 months until Bondi 8. The look of the shoe started becoming too over the top, but at least still comfortable. However, as soon as the 7s were re released, I returned to those. I decided to give the 9 a try and I was so disappointed. Why does Hoka feel the need to exaggerate an already chunky sneaker? Surely you can incorporate new technology without trying to look trendy. Besides the look, the comfort just isn't there for me. My knees and hips hurt after wearing them and while I feel secure when walking and running in the 7 and 8, I found myself constantly checking my balance with the 9. This might be a good shoe for others but it is a frustrated and discouraged no for me.

Luckily I stocked up on pretty Bondi 8 colors because there aren't any Bondi 9 colors that are appealing. What on earth happened? Ugh.

This shoe is very light and supportive. This is a very well made shoe and fits your foot like a glove. Now I have to say the Bondi 8 vs 9 is a big difference. Even though you wouldn't think so. But the bondi 9 is amazing and supportive and the bondi 8 doesn't support the foot completely and isn't a comfortable fit.

I bought a gray pair. Very comfortable and cushioning! True to size!

I adore these shoes! I tried the n the Bondi 8 and it was not comfortable. The high back bothered me. These are perfect. Tall enough for my very high arch/instep even with my orthotics, and wide enough for my toes. I love how they look too! I one color in a store then ordered these online because they didn't have them in stock. Please don't change them!

I'm a Bondi believer. My previous pair was the Bondi 7. I figured, Bondi 9! Must be better. The Bondi 9 however, is a wider shoe than the 7, especially the toe box. My foot did not feel as secure. My first work out in the 9 was a 55 minute power walk. About 40 minutes in, my feet were aching. Fortunately, I still have my 7's, so I'm returning the 9's. Not sure what to do when the 7's wear out. p.s. my pair of Bondi 9's SQUEAK.

Just started in the gym and this shoe is so comfortable! It's like walking on a cloud.

Too much for my feet

I hate the back of the shoe - it doesn't have the tab pull that the Bondi 7 and 8 have. This makes it totally inconvenient. I am currently looking for the Bondi 8 in blk/white which they're gone now! Wow bummer.

All day comfort

I have orthodics in my shoes and these fit perfect! plus I had toe surgery and I am feeling no pain when walking. Headed on a cruise and am bringing these shoes with me!

Love this shoe! Light weight and it has amazing cushion. It makes my feet happy!

Reviews from others made me Leary but it's a nice upgrade from the former Bondi versions. I'm not seeing any negative chsnges. What's with the lack of colors offered though? Such a boring palette.

I have arthritis and have had surgery on my feet. I have had a time finding a shoe that could hold up to the test of shopping and my feet not hurt. So far so good. I bought a wide so there would be more toe span in my shoe. I tried my shoes on at the store and it felt like I was walking on clouds. I love my shoes and hope they won't let me down when I start doing my long walks in them.
