Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi 9

Unfortunately the message mesh has changed in some of the Hoka sneakers and it's almost like they're stretching too much of the toe box in the same token through the insert and the insole it does not feel as cushioning as the older pairs did so that is rather disappointing and me on my feet all day at work I won't be able to tolerate these I've already tested on them in the house and it's not going to work I need to send them back thank you

I love the look.I don't care for the feeling wearing them they are heavy,bulkey and hurt my legs.The other hokas I wear are light and feel great.

They are so bulkey and hurt my legs

The Bondi 9 style change didn't work for my width needs. This 9D Hoka Bondi 9 is tighter than my Bondi 8 D sneakers. I tried this 9D on late in the day, when my feet are at their widest. A smidge too tight, and I can''t risk they'd get better on an upcoming long trip with lots of walking planned. I own Bondi 8's, size 8.5D and 9D and they fit great. Style changes are always iffy in my experience. YMMV

Bondi 8 (size 7 wide women’s) for well for me for years. Bondi 9 (size 7 wide women’s) squeezed my foot on outer edge at ball of foot. Had to return shoes.

Recently bought two pairs of Bondi 9, one in black and one and truffle salt. They were both a 7 1/2 wide. The black pair fits perfectly and I love them however I cannot wear the truffle salt. They are not wide enough and within two hours of wearing them I’m in excruciating pain from the shoe being too narrow. What a disappointment.

I'm a Brooks Adrenaline 10.5wide. Based on the reviews, I went down a half size which was fine, but man, the wide width is just not there. The toe box is tight. You can't move your toes. I can't imagine being on my feel 8 hours and wearing these things. They are a tad more squishy than Brooks, but still not worth the money for the poor fit.

This shoes rubbed my bunions. I have another pair of Bondis, same size, same width, purchased last fall, and they fit fine. This one must be mismanufactured, or else you are scrimping on the toe box all of a sudden.

I've been getting Bondis for the past few years, but these are just too narrow, even in the wide size. It took me a while to realize the problem wasn't that the shoes just needed to be broken in. It is painfully tight in the toe box. Skip the Bondi 9 if you have wide feet.

These shoes are narrow in the toe box. The cushioning is great but after a few hours in these shoes, the narrow toe box bothers my feet. It might be a good idea to go wider than usual in this shoe.

The first pair of these Hokas were great and I needed another pair. I ordered the exact same shoe and it's way too tight for a 2 E. Don't understand what has happened. Guess I will stop trying to get the right fit.

I had at least 7 pair of the Bondi 8, they kept my knees from hurting and would last about three months of every day wear before they went flat. This shoe went flat in a week!! Now they do into my ankles and that’s with an additional arch support. Knees are hurting like crazy.

Too tight near toe..

Expecting like Bandi 8 since Bandi 8 discontinued but felt uncomfortable. Disappointing

I bought Bondi 9 because plantar fasciitis but the shoes are hard under plantar surface and made my problem worse my feet rock forward when make sudden stops very uncomfortable the colors are nice though

These seem like a soft comfortable shoe. I really liked the flow when I stepped, but they are way narrower than marked. I wear a 9W, ordered a 9W, and the toe box felt tight and cramped. I couldn't stand being in the shoe for more than a minute. I had to take it off. I tried a few times to really see if I could get used to it. I've had Hoka recommended to me many times. But in the end, this shoe is not right for me.

I read the reviews that the Bondi 9 was changed from the Bondi 7 but I got them, hoping for the best. The Bondi 7 wide had much more space in the front of the foot. Standing in them was uncomfortable overall.

These are too narrow! I ordered a D-Width and they were pinching my feet after 10mins of having them on. I have other Hokas in a D-width and my feet are almost swimming in them.

It's a great shoe but not good for wide feet with a high arch

I’m an RN so as you imagine I’m on my feet all day. My back hurts mid shift everytime I wear these shoes. If you have a medium to high arch you may want to consider another shoe.

It was 8.5 wide. I do this because on leg swells so badly when im working. I loved my Bondi 7s , but the bonding 8 and 9 aren't the same and arent better. They hit to high in the back and have caused more footpain than ever before. Im on my feet 12hrs a night.

I bought the 7W and it did not have the width of the bondi 8 in the instep and toe box will try double wide.

They felt good the first 3 days, then my back and feet started to hurt. I'm on my feet all day and good shoes are essential. I'm still in search of the right shoe for me.
