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's will always be the favorite fit for my feet. They immensely improve my walking ability with one bad ankle and 2 worn out knees. This last pair of Bondi 9 (I started 4 years ago with Bondi 7) is my 5th pair of Hoka shoes. I love the colors offered and these are the only closed toe shoes I can wear due to the generous toe box. I can't say enough good about these. The price is high but you definitely get the quality to match! They seem to wear forever. I have talked my husband into Hoka also and he just bought his 3rd pair. I will say if you see what you like in your size...BUY THEM! They do sell out of some colors in some sizes.
I would definitely purchase again

I love every iteration of the Bondi, and the Bondi 9 is no exception. I love the wide toe box and perfect cushion.
Great cushion, but insole slips more than Bondi 8

The cushion on this shoe is heavenly for running. The fit is good. However, for some reason the (3rd party) arch supports & insoles I use, which fit great on multiple Bondi 7/8 shoes, slip around more on the Bondi 9's. Even putting my foot into the shoe makes them slide around. Maybe something is different about the bottom and I need a fastener or something.
Great shoes

I love these shoes. All I wear are Bondis. Very supportive and lots of cushioning
Great, comfortable shoe

They are great walking shoes. The fault is that the sole isn't durable for more than 8 months.
Shoe size for this color is smaller than my others.

I have multiple Bondi 9 shoes all size 9.5. I ordered the multicolored shoe in the same size and it was shorter and had less room at the toe

Shoe is great, color choices in wide are garbage
Reviewed at
I do not understand why they refuse to have all the colors also in wide. The marketing team apparently thinks no one who needs wide shoes wants colorful shoes, and thus they lose sale after sale.

Bought these for my grandson for college graduation present. He walks alot daily so I felt these would be great for him. He let me know that he can really tell the difference when he walks now and likes them alot . There is no substitute for a great shoe and Hoka it .
Love them! The sneakers are true to size, super comfortable
