These Bindi 9's are outstanding especially for seniors with hip, knee and lower back issues/pain. I am able to walk the trails while my husband plays disc golf. Love them! No need to "break in" ready to go in the first walk!!!

I bought these in 10.5 wide which is my size in Bondi 8. The shoes felt great and were very comfortable at first, but after wearing these for a bit, they back increasingly uncomfortable and I noticed that the tongues pushed against my ankles so bad that by the end of the day I felt like I could have blisters but thankfully did not. I decided to exchange them thinking that it could be just this pair, but it wasn't. I am on my feet a lot at the hospital and can't walk in these without the tongue pushing and rubbing against the front of my ankles. I was a Brookes girl for years before finding Bondi 8 and my feet were so happy. But now I am very disappointed that Bondi 8 is gone! I even purchased the Bondi Bloom and will have to return them too because they're not wide enough and were too tight in the toe box. My hunt for a good pair of shoes for work continues.

Hoka's are great except for their extra large logo. They're missing an entire market of people who would wear their shoes in a bit more professional/formal setting by bad branding.

These shoes are amazing. They are super plush and comfortable while still offering stability. I work in healthcare and am on my feet all day. I love these shoes and cannot wait to get a 2nd pair.

Totally different than Bondi 8. All of our squad who wear and LOVE 8s have rejected 9s. These are not even remotely the same - you must try on to see for yourself. Hoka product team - PLEASE DO NOT DISCONTINUE THE BONDI 8!

I'm so HAPPY you changed the Bondi 8 to the Bondi 9! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
They are so cushioned and comfortable. Please make more colors. I'd buy more pairs. I've been wearing the Bondi for 10 years!

This shoe is very comfortable, much more so than 8. I loved the 7, still buy when available. The Bondi. 9 has a similar preferred feel. I wish there was the blue/denim color in the ladies in the 7 or the 9.

I bought the bondi 9 to see if it measured up to the bonding 8. It is 10 times better. I'm 79, both knees replaced from running many years
The cushion is awesome!!
Your best one yet, for me and I have several pair

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.

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.

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.

I like more the bondi 8 style, it is wider on the sole so it makes me feel more comfortable. It doesn’t have the “hook” tu pull up the shoe when you’re putting it on.

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.
