Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

I've worn the Hoka Bondi for years. The Bondi 9 is comfortable right out of the box. I took my new Bondi 9s on a one week trip the day after I rec!d them and they were totally comfortable, no break in period needed. My one complaint is that the Bondi 9 seems a little smaller all over than the Bondi 8. Not enough that I need the next size up, but just enough that I need to wear socks with less cushioning for the shoes to be comfortable.

I was crushed when they stopped making Bondi 7's. Did not like the 8's...they were just too much. I could not find a Hoka I liked as much as the 7's til I found the 9's. OMG they are awesome! Improved cushioning and better look. So happy I bought a second pair. HOKA please do not discontinue this style!

Ok I like Hokas but darn it the purple one for bondi 9 has white soles instead of purple. Adjust the website to show the correct color. Ruined my gift.

I have had the Bondi 9 hokas for about a week and a half and they just don't feel that great. Actually, they hurt my feet. I'm trying to break them in. I'm a nurse and I wore them one night to work (12 hour shift) and my feet were hurting so bad as the night went on.

I love these shoes! They are so comfortable to wear!

I bought these in 10.5 wide which is my size in Bondi 8. The shoes felt great and were very comfortable at first, but after wearing these for a bit, they back increasingly uncomfortable and I noticed that the tongues pushed against my ankles so bad that by the end of the day I felt like I could have blisters but thankfully did not. I decided to exchange them thinking that it could be just this pair, but it wasn't. I am on my feet a lot at the hospital and can't walk in these without the tongue pushing and rubbing against the front of my ankles. I was a Brookes girl for years before finding Bondi 8 and my feet were so happy. But now I am very disappointed that Bondi 8 is gone! I even purchased the Bondi Bloom and will have to return them too because they're not wide enough and were too tight in the toe box. My hunt for a good pair of shoes for work continues.

I have plantar fasciitis and it was so hard to walk for me my regular steps let alone 10k well I got these shoes and have not looked back they are so comfortable and help me walk as much as I need to. The pain is nowhere near as it used to

Love the fit and extra cushioning of Bondi 9 but the color is not as pictured. The Aster flower/ Starlight glow shoe has a WHITE bottom/stack INSTEAD OF light lavender. Part of the reason I ordered this color was I loved the NON-white lavender stack with the lavender top. My feet are happy but I'm disappointed since I LOVE lavender.

These Bindi 9's are outstanding especially for seniors with hip, knee and lower back issues/pain. I am able to walk the trails while my husband plays disc golf. Love them! No need to "break in" ready to go in the first walk!!!

Still as comfortable as previous model, only better. Stylish, and sleek looking.

The new Bondi 9 redesign did not work for me. They are much too narrow in the toe box. I had to return.

Totally different than Bondi 8. All of our squad who wear and LOVE 8s have rejected 9s. These are not even remotely the same - you must try on to see for yourself. Hoka product team - PLEASE DO NOT DISCONTINUE THE BONDI 8!

I love these shoes. They are lightweight and so comfortable.

Comfortable to walk on. Perfect for work if you stay on your feet for long periods of time.

I bought the bondi 9 to see if it measured up to the bonding 8. It is 10 times better. I'm 79, both knees replaced from running many years The cushion is awesome!! Your best one yet, for me and I have several pair

The Bondi 9 hurts on top of my foot just below where the shoelaces tie. I bought several of these in different sizes and each one causes pain in that same area. The stitching comes to a point in that area and it feels like it jabs in to the top of my foot. I previously bought the Transport X in blue, and I loved that shoe, but then I re-ordered it in different colors and all of them hurt my foot in that same area just below where the shoelace's tie. I don't know if Hoka has a new manufacturer or what but they're making the shoes too tight in that area below the shoelaces and since the shoe was synthetic it won't stretch out. We can loosen the area where the shoelaces are but we can't loosen the part below the shoelaces. I hope Hoka can figure this all out because I really would like to keep these shoes but I can't. I just bought a shoe from a different company and it's not hurting the top of my foot so I know it's not me, there's a problem with the Hoka shoes lately across the top of the foot below where the shoe shoelaces tie. Unfortunately I have had to send all of these shoes back.

I'm so HAPPY you changed the Bondi 8 to the Bondi 9! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. They are so cushioned and comfortable. Please make more colors. I'd buy more pairs. I've been wearing the Bondi for 10 years!

Fit is true to size. Comfortable and stylish.

Very happy with my Bondi 9 shoes. Not as wide as the Bondi 8, but no discomfort.

These shoes are amazing. They are super plush and comfortable while still offering stability. I work in healthcare and am on my feet all day. I love these shoes and cannot wait to get a 2nd pair.

I have a herniated disc issue and I've worn Bondis for about 5 years. The Bondi 9 are by far the best for my back!

I bought this after my daughter's recommendation. This is my first Hoka. The size was true and I love the color so much. I have wide feet but the regular's width was perfect. It's lightweight and have good cushion. I will buy another color.

This shoe is very comfortable, much more so than 8. I loved the 7, still buy when available. The Bondi. 9 has a similar preferred feel. I wish there was the blue/denim color in the ladies in the 7 or the 9.

This is my 2nd time buying these shoes and they really work because I'm on my feet for work all day and when I get home my feet don't hurt.

I'm a cake decorator who works for a big grocery store in FL. This new Bondi is a game changer - I have 7's and 8's but the 9 is just incredible! The heel and ball of my foot feels great even after double shifts on our concrete floors. I highly recommend these if you are standing up daily for work. I've noticed less pain in my knees and back as well.
