Description
The ultra-cushioned game-changer. One of the hardest working shoes in the HOKA lineup, the Bondi 9 delivers peak plushness for everyday miles. Overhauled from top to bottom, they’ve increased the stack height and added a new premium foam midsole to deliver that soft, resilient ride that’s become synonymous with the Bondi. Elevated with a 3D molded collar and structured knit upper with zonal breathability, this ultra-cushioned cult favorite has been finished with Durabrasion rubber to combat high wear zones.

Bondi 9 12.5 EW (all black) most comfortable shoe ever!
OK, I've only owned them for a week, but these 12.5 EW's get a no-brainer 5 Star rating from me! And if they only last 3-4 months, I'll be disappointed, but will still give them 5 Stars. Hands down the most comfortable and best fitting running/walking/hiking shoes I've ever worn! BEWARE OF SIZING...

Bondi 6-8 END OF ERA giving us the Bondi 9 and I'm SAD
I get 10+ pairs a year of Bondi shoes. Bondi 6 shoes, the BEST EVER IMO, and have worn all Bindi series since Bondi 1, The Bondi 6 will always be king of the BEST. CON: fit and feel.

Bondi 9 men's but for a female

I bought the Bondi 9 after recommendation. From my AI app based off n ky prior foot bone fracture, plantar fasciitis, and lumbar stenosis. The # 2 pair recommended for my foot and spine issues and they feel better than the #1 choice (Gaviota 5)!!!! I've held my breath waiting for issues or pain but I can say that so far so good. I work in Healthcare and iso 13 hour shifts and my feet went aching after trying the Bondi 9 for the oat 2 days (24 hours). I don't think I'll go back to the Gaviiota's after these she's. The second pair of Bondi 9 is on order - of course I ordered the men's because the woman's colors are BARFY, GROSS!!!! HOKA please add new bright and flashy colors so we don't feel like we need to order the men's flashier , fun, colors. Pretty please?
I would by this product again

I was skeptical but these shoes really changed things

I had metatarsal pain in my right foot and walk 4-5 miles a day so my foot doctor suggested something with more padding on the front foot and better load balancing. This shoes have made a big difference in the level of pain while walking and I'll find out in the coming months if they make a big difference in allowing the foot to heal. Overall though, I have been very pleasantly surprised at the immediate impact.
I'm not sure what's better, the shoes or customer service

I had to return the first pair for a half size larger. The return was simple and the replacement was shipped out super fast! Oh, and the Bondis are the best most comfortable athletic shoe I've ever worn. I plan on buying another pair!
WAY TOO NARROW!!

This shoe runs about half a size too small, but the real problem is that it's way too narrow. The 8 "D" fits like a 7.5 B. I order men's shoes because "wide" women's shoes don't come in any decent colors. Turns out, even the men's sizes are so narrow that one must order "wide" and go back to a complete lack of color and style.
