Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

I love the new Bondi 9. Fit is more like the Bondi 7 and 6. I work in health care and I am on my feet alot. Hokas have help my feet with Plantar Fasciitis. Best shoes ever!!

This is my 3rd pair of Bondi's and they are my favorite for comfort!

I love Hoka running shoes, and have been wearing them from way back when the Stinson EVO was around. However, the last Bondi that I purchased and kept was the Bondi 6. But, since they're finally starting to fall apart after hundreds of miles, I knew they needed replaced. I have tried the Bondi 7, and the Bondi 8. I did not like the fit of either. I always buy an 8 Wide (I am generally an 81/2 overall in any shoe, and I always like a wider toe box). I am SO HAPPY with the Bondi 9. The fit and feel is back, they are stable and plush! I tried both the 8 Wide and the 8 X-Wide. The 8 X-Wide would be great it I was just going to use them to walk around in. However, they are too wide/sloppy for running since there is so much room on the sides of my feet. So I stuck with the 8 Wide, especially since the new material is so stretchy. Excellent job, Hoka! Thanks for making the Bondi the perfect running shoe again!

I bought the purple bondi 9. On the ad it appears the bottom of the shoe is a light purple. It is actually white. Very big difference in appearance of the shoe. Not sure if I would've bought them had I known. Otherwise, the shoes are very comfortable. It is disappointing to spend so much on shoes and them not be what you were expecting. Not worth the hassle to return.

I use it for everyday walking and I love it. It's beautiful and fits perfectly.

I own several pairs of HOKA Bondi 8, was excited to see the difference in the Bondi 9, and it does not disappoint! Very cushy, comfortable, with a roomy toe box, it's like walking on a cloud. Most comfortable shoe I've ever had. Hoping for more fun, girlie colors. Highly recommend.

I bought the Bondi 9 because I'm on my feet all day. They are very supportive and so comfortable. I've had ankle surgery and MCL issues that require a solid stability shoe. The Hoka shoes have been a game changer. I now have 3 pairs and could not love them more.

Lots of cushion and support! Love this shoe.

As always Hoka comes through. As a Nurse who works long shifts and on my feet all day the Bondi's are by far the most comfortable shoes I have ever wore. This is my 4th pair of Bondi starting with the 7 which are still in very good shape and as comfortable as the day I bought them (which was 4 years ago) I will never own another brand !!! B

The sole on this shoe appears to be lavender, but it is bright WHITE! It really changes the look of the shoe. Not what I was hoping for, and I even verified with HOKA before ordering because I noticed another reviewer complained of the same issue. The shoe is fine, but HOKA needs to fix the photo.

I absolutely love my new HOKA Bondi 9 sneakers! The cushioning and support are top-notch, providing that perfect blend of comfort and responsiveness whether I'm running or walking. The extra cushioning really helps reduce impact and keeps my feet feeling great, even during longer sessions. They also have an amazing pop of color that adds a fun touch to my wardrobe. Overall, they're an excellent choice for anyone looking for performance and style in their footwear.

I have had many Hoka Bondi shoes and they have been wonderful! However, these are not working for me right now. Due to the amount of cushioning, I find that the overall stability has gone down. When stepping onto the foot, I find that my foot tends to supinate more than usual and the support on the outside of the shoe is not good due to the cushioning. As another person stated, the foot tends to bear more weight on the outside. I have had more foot pain while in standing with these shoes on. I will keep trying them, while alternating with my Bondi 8, to see if it improves. However, I have been searching for more Bondi 8's to stock up on.

It is a fabulous shoe, comfortable, supportive, looks great. I wear it for hours at work, TJ's, my feet never hurt and the shoes require no break in time. The tennis shoes have changed since I was a kid. Thank Goodness! Love the Bondi 9. Thanks you HOKA.

Great shoe. I previously purchased the bondi 8 and in comparison, these are 1000000 times better. They feel so comfortable, like a hug on my foot. I don't notice that that are there, meaning, they're not bulky like the 8s were. Will definitely be purchasing my husband some and me another pair when these get lived in. Great job hoka team!!

I have had Nikes and OnCloud and they are comfortable. But THESE - These Bondi 9 are like my feet aren't touching the ground. No symptoms to alleviate like plantar fasciitis or bone spurs, but just sensitive feet and I like to feel like I can put these sneaks on and not give a second thought to lasting all day wearing them.

Whatever it is that has changed with the Bondi 9 caused my feet a lot of pain. I will mention, I had the same issue with the Bondi 7. I noticed that people who like the 7's seem to like the 9's. I loved the 8's and all the other Bondi's I've had. I do have bunions, and for various reasons I am not a good candidate for surgery. The toebox on these was OK, the sneakers overall might be a bit more narrow, but immediately upon putting them on I noticed I didn't feel the stability I usually do and something was just "off." Unfortunately I had to return them. I do wish Hoka would alert us when a new model is coming so we can stock up, especially those of us who wear wide! I'll be waiting for the next model and hope for better.

Hate these. Please bring back the Bondi 8. They were the best. Bondi 9 is both unflattering and uncomfortable.

I walk 4 miles a day. These shoes make that walk easier and enjoyable. Because of the cushion in both heel and front, my back isn't hurting nor are the balls of my feet throbbing. That is really important with some feeling loss at the balls of the foot. Thanks for a wonderful shoe!

Nice bounce, great support, nice comfortable upper. Great shoe

I tried the Bondi 8 and they feel like I was walking on rocks. I have read the reviews on the New Bondi 9 and frankly I am skeptical

I have several pairs of Hokas, and these will make my 4th pair of Bondis, and they are by FAR my favorites! They hug my feet so perfectly, like comfy socks, and the cushion is superior! The Bondi 8s had a really narrow opening which made them strangely difficult to get on and off, but that has absolutely been remedied with this version. I'm already eyeing other colors because I never want to wear anything else! Love!!!

I have worn Bondi 8 for a while. I developed metatarsalgia on the side of my right foot. The Bondi 9 shoe (had mine for a couple of weeks) doesnt irritate the metatarsalgia. I believe the foot bed is a teeny bit wider and the mesh fabric gives just a it more! I am thrilled that I can wear the Bondi 9s until my foot heals. An added bonus is the stunning colors! I love them!

I absolutely love the feel and the look! Great job on the modifications!
