This was my first pair of Hokas and I love them! I usually stick with either ASICS or Saucony, but I like these better than both. A little expensive, but worth it!

This shoes doesn’t have the finger loop at the back to help pull it up over your heel. I use that function and when it’s gone, it’s annoying. The cushion is harder than the Bondi 8. I have plantar fasciitis and miss the absorption the 8 gives.

I love this shoe. I have a lot of problems with my ankle and this provides a much better walking experience for me. Unfortunately, I have 3 other pairs of Bondi 8's that are almost new so have to find a new home for them.

Use this shoes for my everyday walks, yo the store, mall or at the park. The shoes make me feel like wanting to run. It kinda lifts my body up as I walk.

The shoe pushed on my big toe knuckle causing some discomfort (I have arthritis there). Also, the extra padding of the sole is too much for me. I like a lower profile shoe.

Love these! They are great support for my terrible feet. However, they are not wide enough for me. So very disappointed.

As a first time for me looking into this brand I am so happy that I did good choices. My both pair of gym shoes are so comfortable. I wear between 8-9 so the chart recommend to picked #9 and they fit perfectly

I'm newish to Bondi. I've been ARAHI since 1st gen. Tested the leather Bondi SR, heavy - I meant to return it but missed the return window and thought, what the heck, just wear it. It turned out to be a lifesaver during my international travel where we walked 10 miles/day for a week and has become a favorite. Tried the Bondi 7 recently and there was no arch support, took a month to break in and made my feet and calves hurt. Returned it. 3rd time's the charm...tested out the 9 and I'm sold. Plush and supportive. Can't wait for more colors to come out.

I have been wearing the Bondi 8s but loving this updated style: narrower in the sole, and sole design encourages a rock-forward motion. I bought the Aster Flower and my soles are a light grey/purple like the original images online. I saw some say they got a white sole.

This is my seventh pair of HOKAs and my 5th pair of Bondis. I bought Gaviotas last time, and , while they were great, I'd still prefer the cushioning of the Bondi. This new Bondi is plusher, a few mm higher, has a newly engineered knit ankle for security and a MAJOR comfort boost, which I did not think was possible. I do a lot of walking and have some back issues, but the Bondis keep me out there. The only thing the new Bondii 9s lack is the width of the old ones so ALERT: if you are a real W, then get the EXTRA wide! I should have asked someone at HOKA first; that was on me. But these new babies are so great that If I was invited to a formal ball, I'd wear them there! Good job, HOKA!!!!

Ordered these and were excited to try the "newer model". They don't feel as plush and they are definitely more narrow. I'm really sad because Bondi 8 was my favorite Hoka- I have 3 pair (one Clifton). I could order a wider version but the colors are very limited to ones I simply don't like.

Love this shoe!!! It’s the most comfortable sneaker I’ve ever worn. I wear them to just run around town and also to the gym. Very versatile. And it looks good. Going to order another pair in a different color.

These shoes were pretty comfortable although they don't have enough arch support for me. I wasn't fond of the super thick soles & the fact that they squeak with every step.

I've been wearing Hokas since 2020 and have tried many but like Bondi the best. I was so excited of the release of Bondi 9. I bought the 7.5 regular, used it for a short run and thought the toe box seemed narrow. So decided to get another pair and get the wide. So disappointed after doing a short run my feet was sore and swimming in the shoes. I compared the two shoes and had two different soles!

I was frustrated with my inability to do anything about my sedentary life due to foot pain. My podiatrist suggested I wear this specific style. I am now able to stand in the kitchen to cook, go for a walk, go out and run errands! They are a bit snug - but I do believe they do run true to size; the snug fit is likely due to the hardware in my foot. I've already ordered the next size up and can wear my current pair when I'm having a "good foot day" Thank you!

I love HOKA, but these Bondi 9's felt off in sizing and really tight - especially for Wide Width. They are soft and cushiony - yes.... However, after wearing for an hour it became excruciatingly clear that I needed to take them OFF!!!
