Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

True to size. Much better than Bondi 8.

I had the previous version of the Bondi and they were comfortable and great for long walks. This version feels very different and is actually causing my toes to go numb and a fair amount of soreness. I really didn’t notice when first putting them on, it really was 20-30 min into a walk that the discomfort started. I can’t quite figure out if it’s the stiffer cushion or something about the shape.

I think these run a half size smaller and the wide width isn’t as wide as my Hoka Clifton 9.

Amazing! Way less pain with my plantar fasciitis. Great arch support. I was nervous about the height and that I would twist my ankle - it's not an issue at all.

I have always worn a medium width but my bondi 8 last year was too narrow. I ordered a wide in bondi 9 and it was just ok. I then ordered an extra wide for my last pair and they are great. Not sure why all of the sudden I have to wear extra wide on my medium width foot! Also, the only option was black and white. My medium foot would appreciate a pretty color in extra wide. Navy blue with green or aqua would be awesome.

Awesome shoes. The fit and stlye are great and so comfortable!

I tried so many different Hoka models - the Arahi 7, the Mach 6, the Gaviota 5, the Clifton 10, and lastly, the Bondi 9 was the winner. I have very high arches, skinny feet over all but very large bunions due to being a figure skater. I also have tendonitis and some ankle and foot overuse injuries I am working through, so that's why I tried on so many models. i am very grateful for Zappos being so awesome with returns. They processed the credit back to my card within a day, which was so greatly appreciated. The Bondi shoes are super plushy and comfy but they do not feel unstable at all, despite being low on their stability ranking. They look a lot like the Clifton 10's which were also pretty good but the Clifton 10's my toe grazed the end slightly in my usual size, whereas in the Bondi they were a perfect fit with my usual size. The Bondi's also seemed to hug my foot better. I thought they were going to be too chunky for me but honestly they don't feel that way. There really is a reason why people love this model the most. I got the blue/green color Druzy/Droplet and it's super dreamy. I was really on the fence about color but this is a cool unique color that really does look like a pretty blue gemstone.

Best overall shoe. So stylish Id even wear it for work. Great support, light weight design.

These are the most comfortable pair of sneakers I have ever tried on ! Thank you Hoka 9 : ) I am so grateful Diff. true to size ~ the sneakers do not fit like a suction cup sock to your feet the sneakers have give :) !

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.

Hokka convert! Love the cushion, style, and color.

Terrible , heel flattened out with in 2 months and Zappos won't let me return ., defective .. very disappointing

seemed just as narrow in the toe box as the regular width. had to return both, regular and wide width. I used to love bondi 7, then the bondi 9's have been redesigned and have narrowed the toe box and can not wear. Real disappointed because I loved the cushy feeling the bondi 7 had, and nice wide toe box, but not anymore.I wish they would bring back the bondi 7's.

The comfort was instant and so far, inside the house, it has remained consistent. There is a bit of a different feel to having less shoe supporting my ankle so I will have to see how that goes.

This shoe is so comfortable

Most comfortable shoes we have found!

Felt true to size. I love the purple color!

They fit great and look great!! I that I have to rerun them. I have a spur on the top of my foot and they aggravated it.

So very disappointed in this shoe. I loved the Bondi 8. This Bondi 9 feels like a narrow, very cheap version of the Bondi 8. The toe box is not as roomy, and the padding feels thinner.

Best , most comfortable shoes ever! Even prettier when they arrived!

My granddaughter loves her new Hokas , her old ones had seen better days. The color she chose was even prettier upon arrival. I love mine too, they are the most comfortable shoes I have had, esp. having had plantar fasciitis. You can't go wrong with the Bondi 9!

These are my go-to shoes-- the wide Bondi 8 fits my feet beautifully, provides both stability and cushioning for my feet. Style? Uh... this gray/ rainbow pair look better than the peach ones from last fall. I don't buy these for the chic; I buy them because they let me walk 3-5 miles a day without pain.

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.

If you have plantar fascitis - these might help! I work on my feet and tried them all. Hoka Gaviota, Asic Gel Nimbus, and on and on. These don't take away the pain, but significantly help. Provide arch support and cushion. Run true to size, maybe a touch small.
