Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

I have bought these exact shoes several times. This time the left shoe was perfect, the right shoe felt like a normal width, not wide, as marked.

Hey Hoka - please be consistent in your sizing. I've been running on Bondi's since the Bondi 6, always 7.5 W. This time they felt tight and short. I compared them side by side with my Bondi 8's, and they are literally half an inch shorter. For shoes this expensive, I expect more.

These were supposed to be WIDE. I don't even have wide feet and they were too narrow in the front.

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DESIGN OF THIS SHOE. EVERY TIME i WEAR THEM MY KNEE POPS AND HURTS FOR DAYS! SPENT 175.00 AND WORE THEM A HANDFUL OF TIIMES AND CAN'T WEAR THEM ANYMORE.

Everyone raves about Bondi’s. So I decided to try the Bondi 9. These shoes are horrible! They run super narrow and felt like they cut off my foot circulation. I had to barely tie my shoes to loosen. Not only that, my feet ached from wearing them all day. They are too expensive to be testing other Hoka variations. So I will not be buying Hoka again.

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.
