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. These ARE NOT BONDI 6 feeling shoes, and the feeling like walking/running/working in construction or any job imo….is...

Bondi 9 is my favorite shoe!
Excellent shoes. Has helped reduce fatigue in my body. Reduced knee, back, and foot pain.
Less support than Bondi 8
My Bondi 8s helped my problem ( no arch and other situations ) and these don't help the full perimeter as the 8's did. I got the 9's solely because 8s seem to be out of stock on most colors and I will just use my 8's despite being worn thin for common activities and use the 9s sparingly and more so for church or occasional basketball etc unlike the 8 these peel like there's a little too much pressure on the inner sole and not enough support on the outer . I'm sure it's still better than the more famous namebrand sneakers for my situation but shame that I have to spend this much money for a subpar product :/

Best shoe ever, period
So good im buying another pair for work. The bounce you get from them is insane. So cushioned and bouncy
Great gift for my dad
My dad, who is 80 yrs old, enjoys long daily walks. He has never paid attention to the shoes he wears but now he loves his new HOKAs
I would definitely buy & recommend this product to others.
This is the most comfortable shoe I ever worn. On my feet for most of the day at work.
Best shoes ever
I love my Hola walking shoes every pair just gets a little better.
My feet are in Love!
Took the new Bondi 9's to Italy and walked 14,000 steps on average per day for 10 days and they performed very well! Provided comfort to my heels and reduced the pain on my feet. So far I am in love!
New Kicks
I am on my feet for extended periods of time and a dear friend recommended Hoka's and I have been pleased ever since. This is my 3rd pair and 2nd in the Bondi series. Very pleased after a 1st day of work in them and actually brought on my vacation to see how they would be and to no surprise, they are doing very well.
