Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

I purchased my first pair of Hokas because of lower back pain After the first day of wearing it was gone! The Bondis are my latest purchase and they are my favorite! Nice and supportive and so much cushion!

DAILY TO WORK AND WALKING

This is my first pair of Hoka's and I'm still iffy about them mainly because of the thick sole that I'm not use to. I've wore them out and about and almost tripped myself up a couple times just trying to get the feel of them. I'm use to wearing sketchers for many years so this is a big step up for me! I recently had knee surgery back in October for a meniscus tear and they had to put a plastic anchor in there as well so I can tell you that the Hoka's do help concerning the cushioning that I need for impact of walking, I guess is the right words to use! I also have plantar fasciitis so I do notice that it helps in this area too. When it gets warmer weather I plan on putting these babies to the test by getting out there and walking again! Let's pray I don't hit the pavement!

I purchased these shoes to replace my previous pair and they are very comfortable. They fit very well and feel like walking on a cloud.

The store I buy from said they have heard the same things from many people about the Bondi 9 that I said. They are narrow (and I wear wide); the sole's edge hits my foot and is uncomfortable. They look nice, but who cares what they look like if they aren't comfortable? I am so disappointed.

Comfortable. Need more darker colors in this style

These are very comfortable, one of the most comfortable I have ever owned. I do wish there was more color options though

I have 2 pair of 8 and the SR. Im excited with the 9 an order the wide but still narrow now, Im confused if Im going to return and exchange with the xtra wide or go back to Bondi8. I have plantar fasciitis and 8 help me a lot.

These shoes are very comfortable and fit very well. They are very sturdy and support your feet.

Hoka always makes a very comfortable shoe. We have about 7 pair between my wife and I in our home. Not a cheap date, but they last and serve different purposes and are an outstanding shoe. This one in particular was purchased because it was very close to a Tiffany Blue and you saved me a trip to that store for Valentine's Day. :) my wife received her gift early and absolutely loves them. They are lightweight. Perfect for a run or running around town.

I tried the Bondi 8 and returned them. Because of the advertising about the upgrade I thought I would try them. There's no support, the toe box is too wide and they're too soft. After 20 years of military service I know what a good running shoe and support feel like. For me this isn't it

too snug across the toe box.

BRING BACK STARLIGHT GLOW BONDI 9 PLEASE size 6.5!!! I would buy these in a heartbeat. Was so disappointed the color was gone in my size.

I bought the cosmic gray color in the picture they look a lot more pink however when I receive them in the mail and open the box they were definitely just blue and purple so I was disappointed about that The reason I bought these one specifically because they were more pink as pictured other than that the comfort is good the sizing is true

Just returned my Bondi 9- toe box too narrow. As soon as I put them on they were uncomfortable. I love my Bondi 8 and have purchased at least 6 pair, they are comfortable from the moment I put them on. I am now on the hunt for Bondi 8 which is turning out to be very difficult.

Hoka never lets me down. Best version yet.

Very comfy

I am on my feet and walking nonstop for up to 16 hours and i am so thankful i tried Hokas -what a difference . These shoes almost propel you forward they make walking easier and faster !! Theyre a little chunky but i like that and i feel more balanced.

I got the Bondi9 and the left shoe feels like there is a lump right in the middle area of the ball of my foot. This was causing me to have to repeatedly take off all the weight from my left foot and rest it on my right foot. I hope this is a flaw in the making of the shoe. I am returning for the same style as I really liked the fit and more importantly the comfort.

I've literally bought every Bondi since the 6 came out and this one does not disappoint. The 9s have very comfortable feel and fit for someone like me doing 25k steps a day running around in retail. It's not as bold looking as it seems to look more and more basic as the new models come out though

I use them for everyday walking and golf.

I purchased the colour "Cosmic Grey." The shoe itself is very comfortable but the picture of the shoe makes it look like the colours range from blue to pink. In real life there is no pink at all, only blue fading into a strange eggplant shade of purple.

I have several pairs of the Bondi 7, which was the original shoe to turn me onto HOKA as a lifelong customer. So I was very excited and waiting months for the release of the Bondi 9 since I skipped the 8. However, despite the lightweight nature of the shoe and apparently more cushion, something about the new construction of the sole is very uncomfortable. While I could wear any of my Bondi 7 for 12+ hour shifts in the hospital without any discomfort, my feet start hurting in these within a couple hours. It's really disappointing. The colors are also pretty boring and sparse. I've always highly recommended HOKA to friends and people who ask in the hospitals but this iteration makes me question that.

Going up to an Extra Wide is a game-changer. We love going to theme parks and conventions, and now I can do them pain-free. I need more colors in extra wide. I hope they do this with all the shoes.
