Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

Very comfy

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 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 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.

Fit well..color as pictured...delivery quick No complaints or concerns

These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned! I bought them for walking but I literally never take them off and wear with everything! I tell everyone I see that they should buy them! Do yourself a favor and just get them!!

I use these shoes for walking. They are super comfortable and feel good on my feet. I usually have to wear an insert in my shoes but with these ones I don't.

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.

I bought a pair of Bondi 9 from a retailer, they felt okay in store but when I put them on at home they hurt My arch so bad! I'm going to return them. The 8s and 9s now have been a miss for Hoka. PLEASE JUST KEEP THE 7S AVAILABLE FOR THOSE WHO THEY WORK FOR.

I have the hoka bondi 8 and now the bondi 9. The 9 is was more comfortable and no break in needed. They were comfortable right out of the box.

I use these shoes for my long runs. They are very comfortable and support my high arches.

I was so excited to try this new model, I have worn the Bondi 8 for the past couple years and had them in almost every color. Immediately out of the box there was a noticeable difference in comfort. They hurt my feet but I've been determined to get past it. Please Hoka, don't fix what's not broken..

This was my first pair of Hokas and I love them! I usually stick with either ASICS or Saucony, but I like these better than both. A little expensive, but worth it!

I have been wearing HOKAS for 5 years and have been very satisfied with the shoe performance. I was eager to try the new release Bondi 9 because I really felt Bondi 8 was perfection. Well, I'm a bit disappointed, visually the shoe is smaller than the Bondi 8, more compact. I was worried it wasn't going to fit, but it did. The built in shoe horn is a plus, easier to get on with no collapsing. After walking 5 miles a day for 2 weeks I feel like there is less cushion in the toe bed, no responsive support for the ball of my foot. I love the lavender shade, but I have an appreciation for bolder colors, they hide the dirt!

Use mostly for walking and light gym activity. I am a senior and have less padding on my feet than when younger. This shoe provides great padding while still being supportive and lightweight.

I am a teacher and I am on my feet all day and also walk a lot. I also have had achilles tendon surgery twice and low back surgery twice. I so need a real good shoe. The bondi 9 does not hurt my feet and my back does not hurt like with other shoes. I absolutely Love these shoes!!

i have plantar fascia. I thought shoes would have been great for regular standing and walking for feet all day job. My feet hurt when I stand still in these shoes. For me these would great for walking or running. No at my everyday job. You live you learn

I've NEVER had a more comfortable sneaker!!! Like walking on bouncy clouds. Worth every penny.

Use this shoes for my everyday walks, yo the store, mall or at the park. The shoes make me feel like wanting to run. It kinda lifts my body up as I walk.

Comfortable and light

I love this shoe. I have a lot of problems with my ankle and this provides a much better walking experience for me. Unfortunately, I have 3 other pairs of Bondi 8's that are almost new so have to find a new home for them.

This is my seventh pair of HOKAs and my 5th pair of Bondis. I bought Gaviotas last time, and , while they were great, I'd still prefer the cushioning of the Bondi. This new Bondi is plusher, a few mm higher, has a newly engineered knit ankle for security and a MAJOR comfort boost, which I did not think was possible. I do a lot of walking and have some back issues, but the Bondis keep me out there. The only thing the new Bondii 9s lack is the width of the old ones so ALERT: if you are a real W, then get the EXTRA wide! I should have asked someone at HOKA first; that was on me. But these new babies are so great that If I was invited to a formal ball, I'd wear them there! Good job, HOKA!!!!

Very comfortable shoes for hiking

As a first time for me looking into this brand I am so happy that I did good choices. My both pair of gym shoes are so comfortable. I wear between 8-9 so the chart recommend to picked #9 and they fit perfectly
