Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

These new Bondi 9 are soo cute and comfy!! I LOVE THEM!!

I love the these shoes. The cushion is remarkable.

I'm in my 60's, arthritis in foot and knees and plantar fascitis. Hokas have been life savers for me! But not so these. I find them cramped and tight compared to the Bondi 8, the toe box is tighter both across and in height, and though I know they say there is more cushioning - I do not feel it - it feels like less and certainly not a bouncy cloud. I will have to return these - very disappointed that they don't work for me. Thank you Hoka for the great return policy!

I purchased the starlight glow/purpley color. The pictures really made it seem like the sole was a light purpley pink, but they are in fact very bright white. Not incredibly mad, as this is still the color I would choose out of the lineup, but I was a little disappointed- I love the look of the lighter pinky purple color for the sole that I'm seeing advertised. Could just be the lighting of the pictures on the site but other shoes with a white sole look that way? Maybe it's just me? So comfy, loving the feel. Always a HOKA gal.

Got my shoes today tried them on whatever size you wear order half size bigger also there narrow I ordered a wide but so far I like them

Just got them today but they fit amazingly and are true to size. They are SO comfortable. I don't really plan to workout in them or run in them, but they are just for comfort when I'm on my feet all day at work and on weekends. I actually like them better than the Bondi 8. I was never a huge fan as they didn't seem to fit my feet that well and they squeaked. Clifton 9 AND Bondi 9 are my favorite shoes in my closet now!

Finally! Bondi in black and white! I work in the restaurant industry and don't care for the all black shoe. Thank you for releasing these! I wasn't a fan of the Bondi 8 fabric. The Bondi 9 seem to have more structure and hold their shape. Love the additional stack heel height. Ordered these Friday morning and just put them on. I'll never wear another shoe. Make the investment!

If you loved the Bondi 7, rejoice!! This is the same overall shape/form but with many improvements. No more clunky, oversized clown shoe (Bondi 8). I was wearing Bondi 7's when these arrived. Every time Hoka re-released them, I'd grab a pair. I had a Bondi 9 on one foot and the Bondi 7 on the other. Very similar look & shape but a huge difference in cushion, especially so in the heel. I'm working through Plantar fasciitis so this is a wonderful improvement. By the end of the day, already less pain than I would experience in the Bondi 7 or Bondi 8. My orthotics never fit right with the Bondi 8. The Bondi 9 is perfect. The slightly longer, more padded tongue is a nice change too. The fit across the top of the foot and around the side feels secure and supported. The "extra" cushioning is plush but still stable. Hoka listened to the feedback and they got it right!!

I will say that I love the redesign and it's WAY more attractive than the older models!! The feel and cushion are amazing. I am a Hoka die hard with severe back issues and these shoes are a life saver for this hairdresser. I sized up from a 8 regular to a 8.5 Wide and its still too small. I have the 6,7,and 8 Bondi in a size 8 Regular and i just returned this for a 9 Extra Wide. Will update when I receive the larger size

I'm a delivery driver, and have been desperately looking for a super comfortable shoe that would support my high arch, and tired aching feet. These new Bondi9's are the ticket ladies! I feel like I am walking on a bed of clouds with every step. The support, and stability are SUPERB! I am so glad I got the text message from HOKA about the new Bondi9's, and read the first reviewers, review so thank you so much. I ordered them on Wednesday late at night, and received them at 1:30 the next day; now that's service. I got the super cute lavender in a size 10, and they fit true to size. All I can say is, "I'm in love with the Bondi9's."

The HOKA quality one expects - unfortunately if you order the ASTER the foam sole is NOT the Aster color - as pictured. It is white. Very disappointed. I would normally give 5 stars. Will be returning.

Wow! Received the Bondi yesterday and I have to say I love them! Comfortable right out of the box without having to break them in. I had previously been wearing the Bondi 6 and 7 and they were ready for an upgrade. I wanted to love the Bondi 8 and they missed the mark for me. I love the Bondi 9 and wore them to run the same day they arrived. I did not find them heavy and just love the cushion and support. My knees which have been hurting lately after pounding the pavement felt great. These are my new favorite shoe!

I am obsessed! The purple color is too cute and looks even better in person. I wasn't a fan of the bondi 8s but these 9s have really stepped it up!

The lavender shoe is even more gorgeous in person! I ordered the wide size, which iI have worn in every Bondi since the 6s (Gaviota and Clifton too). I am returning for the X-Wide though. Overall they were comfortable, but they were a bit more narrow than the previous wides, and pushed a bit too much on the area where bunions form. If your feet are truly wide, I suggest going for the x-wide if they have the option in the color you want. If not, get the wides, but be aware they may be a bit more narrow than previous versions.

The Bondi was recommended to me because I recently had foot surgery. I am so glad they did. The shoes are amazingly comfortable. They feel like walking on a cloud. They also look good on my feet which is a bonus. I highly recommend.

I'd been waiting for this show to drop (as someone who runs 80 mile plus weeks, I am a frequent Hoka buyer and advocate) but I was sent it in the wide version even though I ordered the regular. Customer service said it was a glitch on their end, but unless I returned or exchanged it there's nothing that can be done, but usually companies will just send the correct product if it's their bad. Especially to loyal customers :/ I might recommend buying from 3rd party retailer with different customer service policies.

I love the new Bondi 9, this is such an upgrade to the Bondi 8. I mainly use them for long walks and being on my feet the entire day, but i feel like i'm walking on clouds. The new foam feels bouncier but very supportive.

I loved bondi 7, didn't care for 8. Now in love with 9. Very good soft bounce.

Great for my walking! Had for 3 days and they feel amazing!

The Bondi 9 is like walking on a cloud. Super comfortable and great support. I didn't think anything could be more comfortable than the Bondi 7, but the 9 feels like it has more cushion and very stable. I would definitely buy again!!!!!

More comfortable than Bondi 8 perfect for my 12 hour duty. I wish it was the same price as bondi 8 when it was first released it's $10 more for the Bondi 9.

An amazing shoe, no more pain in the bottom of my feet and I can comfortably run around my job all day! Worth every penny
