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!

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 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.

Hoka never lets me down. Best version yet.

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.

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

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.

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 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 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 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..

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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 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!
