Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

Didn’t fit well thought the color would be lighter

As other reviews said, these initially felt comfortable wearing them around the house and for short walks. At the end of longer walks, I began to get shooting pains in my hips. Once I switched to another pair of shoes, no more pain. They do look nice and I liked that they were a bit less bulky than the previous model.

It feels tighter than the Bondi 9 I was wearing

Terrible , heel flattened out with in 2 months and Zappos won't let me return ., defective .. very disappointing

The right foot fit perfect but the left foot on the outside is so tight and causes pain. It has to be a defect in the shoe. It feels like it goes up on the outside when it should be flat.

I was not able to try the shoes because one of the insert was missing.. seems like that was returned item, and was sent to me without checking if it has everything in it.. very disappointing..

Very uncomfortable, causes my Achilles tendons to feel like they are being ripped apart. Makes my feet feel extremely heavy and did really poor on a muddy trail. Rock poked a hole in the shoe ruining them. I know they are not rated for trail running but rocks on any day should not poke a hole in a shoe that is new.

What happened to the sizing? I wore a 7 wide in previous Bondi models but now both the wides and extra wides are far too narrow. Also, the 7s are too short and the 7.5s are nearly an inch too long. Really disappointed

The right shoe was very tight. Even if the laces loosened all the way, the shoe would not fit. I have never had this issue with a Hoka.

These are very uncomfortable, I do not see how anyone thinks they’re comfortable in any way.

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!!!

Clunky and heavy. If you have a thin foot and are not a big person, this shoe feels like you are running in a cement shoe. The new model is a definite improvement. Great for standing on your feet all day. It is also overpriced.
