Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

Fit is true to size. Comfortable and stylish.

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!

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.

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

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 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.

If you have wider feet, I highly recommend going for the EXTRA WIDE version to ensure a better fit. I ended up returning it and replacing it with an EXTRA WIDE (8.5 EE / Black/white), and the difference was significant. My toes now have more room, and I no longer feel that uncomfortable pressure.

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.

As a nurse I loved the Bondi 8! Stopped all foot pain after walking all day at work! Received the Bondi 9 and they are not as comfortable and more narrow! I will send them back and try a wide ? I wore a regular 8B in the Bondi 8. But just be aware that the Bondi 9 are more narrow.

These shoes are so comfortable! I wear a size 11 shoe but with Hokas I always have to buy a 10.5. These fit but do feel a little shorter than other 10.5 and I would buy this size again.

The most bouncy, comfy shoes ever. The best bondis yet!

I love the new Bondi 9. Fit is more like the Bondi 7 and 6. I work in health care and I am on my feet alot. Hokas have help my feet with Plantar Fasciitis. Best shoes ever!!

This is my 3rd pair of Bondi's and they are my favorite for comfort!

I love Hoka running shoes, and have been wearing them from way back when the Stinson EVO was around. However, the last Bondi that I purchased and kept was the Bondi 6. But, since they're finally starting to fall apart after hundreds of miles, I knew they needed replaced. I have tried the Bondi 7, and the Bondi 8. I did not like the fit of either. I always buy an 8 Wide (I am generally an 81/2 overall in any shoe, and I always like a wider toe box). I am SO HAPPY with the Bondi 9. The fit and feel is back, they are stable and plush! I tried both the 8 Wide and the 8 X-Wide. The 8 X-Wide would be great it I was just going to use them to walk around in. However, they are too wide/sloppy for running since there is so much room on the sides of my feet. So I stuck with the 8 Wide, especially since the new material is so stretchy. Excellent job, Hoka! Thanks for making the Bondi the perfect running shoe again!

I bought the purple bondi 9. On the ad it appears the bottom of the shoe is a light purple. It is actually white. Very big difference in appearance of the shoe. Not sure if I would've bought them had I known. Otherwise, the shoes are very comfortable. It is disappointing to spend so much on shoes and them not be what you were expecting. Not worth the hassle to return.

I use it for everyday walking and I love it. It's beautiful and fits perfectly.

I own several pairs of HOKA Bondi 8, was excited to see the difference in the Bondi 9, and it does not disappoint! Very cushy, comfortable, with a roomy toe box, it's like walking on a cloud. Most comfortable shoe I've ever had. Hoping for more fun, girlie colors. Highly recommend.

I bought the Bondi 9 because I'm on my feet all day. They are very supportive and so comfortable. I've had ankle surgery and MCL issues that require a solid stability shoe. The Hoka shoes have been a game changer. I now have 3 pairs and could not love them more.

Lots of cushion and support! Love this shoe.

As always Hoka comes through. As a Nurse who works long shifts and on my feet all day the Bondi's are by far the most comfortable shoes I have ever wore. This is my 4th pair of Bondi starting with the 7 which are still in very good shape and as comfortable as the day I bought them (which was 4 years ago) I will never own another brand !!! B

The sole on this shoe appears to be lavender, but it is bright WHITE! It really changes the look of the shoe. Not what I was hoping for, and I even verified with HOKA before ordering because I noticed another reviewer complained of the same issue. The shoe is fine, but HOKA needs to fix the photo.

I absolutely love my new HOKA Bondi 9 sneakers! The cushioning and support are top-notch, providing that perfect blend of comfort and responsiveness whether I'm running or walking. The extra cushioning really helps reduce impact and keeps my feet feeling great, even during longer sessions. They also have an amazing pop of color that adds a fun touch to my wardrobe. Overall, they're an excellent choice for anyone looking for performance and style in their footwear.

I have had many Hoka Bondi shoes and they have been wonderful! However, these are not working for me right now. Due to the amount of cushioning, I find that the overall stability has gone down. When stepping onto the foot, I find that my foot tends to supinate more than usual and the support on the outside of the shoe is not good due to the cushioning. As another person stated, the foot tends to bear more weight on the outside. I have had more foot pain while in standing with these shoes on. I will keep trying them, while alternating with my Bondi 8, to see if it improves. However, I have been searching for more Bondi 8's to stock up on.

It is a fabulous shoe, comfortable, supportive, looks great. I wear it for hours at work, TJ's, my feet never hurt and the shoes require no break in time. The tennis shoes have changed since I was a kid. Thank Goodness! Love the Bondi 9. Thanks you HOKA.

Great shoe. I previously purchased the bondi 8 and in comparison, these are 1000000 times better. They feel so comfortable, like a hug on my foot. I don't notice that that are there, meaning, they're not bulky like the 8s were. Will definitely be purchasing my husband some and me another pair when these get lived in. Great job hoka team!!
