Disappointed in the new design for Bondi 9. Have worn Bondi for 5 years. The heel change is very uncomfortable. Price has also increased. Have now moved to Brooks.

I felt like I was walking on boats. 81/2W is my perfect size in the Bondi 7. These 9s are a bit too snug on the toes in my size. It was more difficult to balance. I tried an 81/2 XW for my toes but they were huge. I might try an 8 but it could be that the cut of the sneaker is off for me. I hope the next style is more like the bondi 7. I have a similar problem with new Cliftons.

Toe box too small in a wide width. I was an avid fan of Bondi 7. It had a comfortable toe box. My foot is slightly wide at the toe box and narrow at the heel. I always wear 8 1/2 W in sneakers as I can tie them to hold my heel. They are a nice looking padded shoe if you can wear a small toe box. I may try the WW.

I have the trifecta of problem feet, narrow ,high arches and hammertoes. I have tried for four days to break these shoes in. They are okay for about two hours, then my feet start to ache . They are too wide in the heel, the front is fine but my heel constantly slips and I can’t tie them tightly enough. I like the way they look, I researched them and the Bondi were recommended for narrow feet. I think it’s my feet not the shoe that’s the problem

Sorry to see the Bondi 8 replaced by a sneaker which doesn't have the wide toe box. The Gaviotta 5 is much more like the Bondi 8 than the Bondi 9.

This shoe was mistakenly labeled as W. It's not wide. It's narrow. Obviously, since it has been resent to several people, this size should have been checked.

I wear a 6.5 wide and I have heard great things about Hoka. When I ordered the 6.5 wide and they came, iI was excited. I tried the on and walked around the house, up and down stairs, sat down and my left foot was going to sleep. Disappointed they didn't work.

I finally caved and bought these. I started a job that involves standing on concrete all day. I have osteoarthritis in both knees and everyone swears by these for their cushioning. They definitely have plenty of cushion, but I am in agony at the end of the day because there isn’t enough stability. They pitch forward which has increased my knee pain. I am so mad that I wasted almost $200 on these.

There is something wrong with the right shoe. My pinkie toe fell off the rubber sole. Quite strange. The packaging inside the shoebox was ripped and carelessly folded, but the worst thing is I'm pretty sure they were worn for awhile by someone else. Gross!

I returned these shoes because I paid full price for new shoes, and the pair I received was clearly used. The soles were dirty upon arrival. Unacceptable.

I had a previous pair of Bondi 9 shoes and they were wonderful for my foot that has metatarsalgia (basically metatarsal bones). However, this latest pair did not have the same cushioning that the first pair did. I don't know why, but after walking in them for only a little while, the metatarsal pain was evident. In the old pair, I never experienced pain. Unfortunately, I can't return them, as it took me two walks around the block to convince myself they weren't "working." So beware!

Was sent clearly worn/dirty shoes, not even in a hoka box. Not sure what happened, but not the quality I would expect from Zappos.

I have bought these exact shoes several times. This time the left shoe was perfect, the right shoe felt like a normal width, not wide, as marked.

Hey Hoka - please be consistent in your sizing. I've been running on Bondi's since the Bondi 6, always 7.5 W. This time they felt tight and short. I compared them side by side with my Bondi 8's, and they are literally half an inch shorter. For shoes this expensive, I expect more.

These were supposed to be WIDE. I don't even have wide feet and they were too narrow in the front.

Everyone raves about Bondi’s. So I decided to try the Bondi 9. These shoes are horrible! They run super narrow and felt like they cut off my foot circulation. I had to barely tie my shoes to loosen. Not only that, my feet ached from wearing them all day. They are too expensive to be testing other Hoka variations. So I will not be buying Hoka again.
