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.

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

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.

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.

I bought these shoes thinking they would be comfortable with my Tailors Bunion. I ordered a wide and it still was too much pressure on the lateral side of my foot.

The heel and toe area are comfortable however I require a higher arch support. I find my ankles turning in without the support in these sneakers. While the size is ok, I can’t put my extra arch supports in without making them feel too tight.

These shoes were my normal size but did not fit. The half size smaller fit perfect.

I felt the shoe should’ve been a little bit longer. It felt like my toes were somewhat forced in.

It appears Bondi 8 is no longer available. I read that Bondi 9 is the “upgrade”. It dos feel lighter and the cushioning is great. However, if you were getting Bondi 8’s bc of bunions, the Bondi 9 is narrower and a disappointment. The toe box is noticeably narrower and it does make a difference. I guess I’ll be looking for another shoe.

They fit fine but were harder than the Bondi 9's I bought last summer. The heel was really stiff. Last time I knew I was keeping them immediately. This pair was uncomfortable..similar to Bond 8 for me.

these are my first Hokas
they seem to run big. i usually wear a size 9 but these 8-1/2 i bough seem a bit long. i usually wear a wide width but the medium width was wide enough. a bit pricey at $175.
since these are my first pair, i will have to wear them awhile before i decide if i like them
