Men's | HOKA Bondi 9: All Reviews

second pair, comfortable, good fit

The most comfortable shoes I have ever owned

I've been a Nike man forever, until my wife made me try/buy a pair. They were the Bondi 8's. These are the best shoes that I've ever put on my feet. I now have 3 pair of the Bondi 8's & now with recent purchase of the Bondi 9's. Great shoes for my wore out feet.

I replace these often to keep the comfort

The fit is fantastic and the inserts I purchased for them provide excellent support. The manager took a lot of time to make sure that we had the correct size and width before placing the order. I have two pairs of the Bondi 8 that i wear daily. However, the Bondi 9 will definitely be my favorite going forward.

Very comfortable.

Comfortable shoe for my aching feet. Purchased online due to availability after excellent help from the store in Pleasanton CA.

great comfort but I'm going through two pair a year

Best shoe ever…..

Great shoe ! Got it quicker than expected

great fit great feel 🤩

Excellent

I wear a 14 x-wide walking shoe, which you can guess, is not always available. These are a very comfortable shoe, fit is great, and provide a lot of cushion. I bought the 14 wide in the store and returned them. Two days later FedEx dropped these off. Great customer service.

I love the Bondi 9. I had been in Clifton 9 but they stopped that line. The Bondi 9 has a lower heel to toe drop so me being on my feet on concrete for 10 hours a day and sometimes up to as high as 37,000 steps with no issues is huge Love that they fit well especially in toe box. I wear 11 2E (wide) and they fit perfectly.

Great fit with excellent cushion for the track.

Excellent Fit! Makes my bad ankle feel great!

Fits great. Stable for balance and walking.

I work 12 hour shifts in a Hospital and finally found my shoe!

Very comfortable

Super comfortable

I own both the Hoka Bondi 8 and the Hoka Bondi 9. The Bondi 9s fit well for my size 13 feet and the cushion is way better than the previous version. I love both of them and wear them constantly! These are totally worth it and make sure to get the colorway you like since there are so many good choices, even for big feet like mine! :)

Real comfy

I love the HOKA Bondi 9 shoes.

Very comfortable. Lots of support and cushion. Charlie W.

Very supportive

Love the 4E width. Very comfortable for wide feet, bunions, etc.

Recommended by my podiatrist for plantar fasciitis. I got the 2E wide as I have a bone spur and the fit is outstanding. I have had no issues whatsoever. Walk 2-2.5 miles daily plus workout at the fitness center. I bought an all black pair for my daily shoes and have a blue pair for gym use. Bought 2 extra pairs for spares when they went on sale

Most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn

Having a job where I’m on my feet 90% of the time for 12 hours at a time while wearing these shoes has made work a whole lot better and more enjoyable.

Just walked in them for the first time since purchase and they are wonderful! Very comfortable!

I was referred to the Fleet Feet store for a specific type of Hoka shoes by my PT. The employee was great and fitted me in the perfect pair. We ordered the color that I wanted and I received it within a week. Love the shoes!

I love the hoka bondi 9 shoes

Love them

The Bondi 9 is working out great. I found the best price for them at Fleet Feet.

Alex at Fleet Feet Armory store in Rochester NY was phenomenal!

Comfortable and cushy so far.

Great walking shoe for me. Springy step and solid fit with custom insoles.

My husband has to replace his shoes every 3 months due to severe arthritis from being a paratrooper in the army. He said this shoe provides more comfort & stability than any other shoe he has tried.

Purchased the Bondi 9 online for an upcoming week long trip to Japan. I based my purchase on recommendations and reviews online of the shoe and FleetFeet. The shoes arrived quickly and in perfect condition I am breaking them in with my daily walks, but I’m not sure they needed any. They fit perfectly out of the box and they are so comfortable. I’m not a runner so I can’t speak to that but they’re perfect for my anticipated 25,000 steps a day on my trip

Love the shoes. Employee ordered color I wanted and had them ship. Love the Bondi Hoks

Love it

Great shoe! Fits well and feels great.

This is the fifth pair of the Hoka Bondi 9 I have purchased and worn. I have tried the high end running shoes of various other brands but keep coming back to this Hoka model. It is just right in terms of cushion, stability, comfort and durability. I'll keep coming back to it.

These shoes cured my plantar fasciitis. They are very comfortable for walking. I’ve worn Hokas for years, and the Bondi 9 is the best one for me so far.

Great fit!

Love them. Had to get a pair for work and they are great. If you’re on your feet all day these are a life saver. The color is perfect to match the colors of work wear!

He loves his HOKA. Came back for more!

Very comfortable shoes for walking,jogging,daily wear. I’ve already purchased a second pair.

Only has about 10 miles on them. 9 miles on treadmill and all ready tearing up. Very disappointing of this shoe!!!!

This is my first pair of Hoka shoes and I love them. I normally have been getting Brooks the last several years but now I decided to try Hoka and I love them- good fit, and very comfortable while walking.

I ordered black on black and the upper appears to be blue to me. I took it back to the store but they said it was a lighter shade of black. I turned in a support request thru the company and an associate graciously offered a return label and I said I would just be content with them. Still looks “blue” to me.

Too early to tell.

I was always a Saucony Guide person until I got shin splints. Fleet Feet fit me for the Hoka Bondi 9 and I haven’t look back. Super comfortable right out the box. Haven’t had any injuries or issues over a year later.

great shoes at great price

comfortable and light weight. Just what I wanted.

I was dismayed when I found out clifton 9 was out and that I'd need another shoe. Fortunately they make the bondi 9 with a 5mm drop and these work great. I'll be getting more soon thats for sure. The 9s give me comfort even through days where I literally walk 10 miles a shift.

They are one of the best shoes I love to wear.

I'm really enjoying my new Bondi 9 shoes. I've recently developed some hip discomfort, and the additional cushioning is making a big difference.

I am recovering recent back surgery, and this shoe provides exceptional support, comfort, and stability.

Ive had a pair of these same running shoes before, thats why i got them again, they held up great and lasted longer than other shoes in their price point.

As a heavy male who always uses inserts, I found these to be a game changer. 4 miles daily walking with no pain or discomfort. I look forward to each walk every day thanks to the incredible thick cushion soles.

Many companies have copied the hoka style. Every one I've tried has fallen short in either fit, support, comfort, look. My feet, my shoe - Bondi.

Very familiar with the Bondi. Fleet Feet had a great price, easy online ordering process, and efficient, worry-free delivery on time! Highly recommend.

When it comes to fit and cushioning, Hoka has been consistent shoe that I like coming back to…

I just received my third pair of HOKA men's Bondi 9s. This follows three pairs of HOKA men's Bondi 8s. These are superb, totally comfortable and thoroughly satisfying shoes. Having spent thirty years as a runner, and now twenty years as a walker, I have bought and worn (out) many, many such shoes. Without any doubt, these are the VERY BEST!

My Feet Feel Great..... !!!

Most comfortable as always

Great

I've purchased many shoes from FleetFeet in the past. I mean A Lot. I doubt I will ever buy from them again. To me... "Clearance" means you have a style that is going out of production or you've made to many of a type or brand and want reduce your inventory. NOT passing along a pair of Used/Already worn shoes. Which these obviously were. If I wanted a pair of used shoes, I'd go to the thrift store. Not pay over $135 for them.

I am in my mid 70's ~ my daughter got me hooked on these shoes, as it felt as if I was walking on a cloud. The arch support is very nice, even better than ortho shoes. When walking, the insole makes it feel as if one is barefoot, only with padding and comfort. These are my go to shoes! They are even nice enough to wear to church.

Hoka’s are the Best shoes I’ve ever owned. Bondi 9 fits a little different than the 6,7,8. I’d say an improvement over the 8 and included technology from the 7 then I really loved do much.

Amazing shoes

I’ve been running in HOKAs for many years, and they’ve never let me down. The Bondi 9 continues that streak in a big way. Right out of the box, the cushioning is exactly what you expect from the Bondi line—plush, protective, and confidence-inspiring without feeling sloppy or unstable. Long runs, recovery days, and even back-to-back training days feel noticeably easier on the joints. The ride is smooth and consistent from heel strike through toe-off, which is something HOKA has always done well and keeps refining. The fit is dialed in. Secure through the midfoot, plenty of room in the toe box, and no hot spots even on longer runs. The upper feels breathable and supportive without being stiff, and the shoe holds its shape mile after mile. What I appreciate most is the reliability. When you’ve logged years in a brand, trust matters—and the Bondi 9 delivers the same dependable comfort and durability I’ve come to expect from HOKA, with subtle improvements that make it feel fresh rather than over-engineered. If you’re a runner who values cushioning, consistency, and a shoe that simply works day after day, the Bondi 9 is an easy recommendation. It’s another solid win from HOKA.

Purchased this shoe many times. I've been a Hoka fan for years. It brand works for me for my knees and provides just the right amount of cushioning. However, I'm disappointed, that Hoka has decided to move away from their bright colorful combination offerings. Their current color choices in this style are boring and flat and not very attractive. I like a little more flash.. I'll make this one last for a while, and hope they bring back some more exciting color combinations before I need another pair.

Overall comfortable shoe for walking, little tight on outside of shoe currently, but should be ok overall l

*****

I bought these as a gift for my guy. He only wears Hokas and the last time I got him the Bondi 8s. He loves the 9s and said they’re just as comfy.

, I've been wearing Hoka Bondi's for several years. They're the best stability shoes for me, as I am walking over 40 miles a week I notice the difference between shoes. These offer great support and rigidity to help avoid plantar fasciitis. They do tend to wear, but all good shoes do.

These shoes are great they fit well with plenty of room. My last pair I still have for the past two years they feel as comfortable as when I purchased. I can’t say enough about how good Fleet Feet is to buy from. They are priced well and their service is second to none. I ordered the wrong size (my mistake) had no problem returning for a full refund, no hassles just great service. By the way how can you go wrong with Hoka’s.

A OK

Hoka Biondi 9's are much like battle tested off road vehicles. Stable on all terrain, roads, well cushioned, comfortable, and long lasting. I've worn Hoka's for several years, they seem the most stable of available impact shoes. I routinely put 7 to 8 miles a day on my feet. Hoka's also seem to provide the best protection from plantar fasciitis.

Once again, your feet measurement system gave me a super comfy pair of sneakers. Your staff is friendly and helpful. I’ll continue shopping with you and recommending your services to people!

So far so good. I am trying to recover from some foot issues, so the Bondis are a very cushy ride compared to the Challenger 7. I am so impressed with the people at your Littleton store. I have been in 2 times to find the best shoe/insole combination and both sales associates were super knowledgeable and patient trying to get me in the right set up. I guess that's why this is the only store I have been in for the past 5 years.

Most comfortable shoe I have owned! Very durable shoe with built in quality! I have had several back surgeries and the Bondi has really been helpful with relieving my back pain. Great shoe for running, walking or just hanging out in! I recommend these to all my friends and family.

I’ve used Hoka Bondi 9’s for years now and they continue to be a strong and reliable, running shoe!

Perfect

Love the cushion and support to stand and work on concrete

Comfortable

Comfort

Best fitting and supportive shoe I’ve ever had!

Love these sneakers, love fleet feet for there consistent delivery of good people good experiences and good products!

Good shoe. My third pair

Felt good on my feet.

Fitting turned out perfectly, and I was finally able to get the blue color in size 4X. It looks great and meets exactly what I was hoping for. 

Outstanding shoe for walking. Bondi 7 was my go-to, but now it will be Bondi 9.

They are more beautiful and stable than I thought.

A standard for people like myself that appreciate a good cushion for the years of trails and roads pounded.

All good, just what i wanted. Good service and appreciate the free freight.

I've been wearing HOKA Bondi's for years and have been very happy with the shoe and fit. Fleet Feet staff are always friendly and helpful and knowledgeable.

Great fit, great support!

Bought primarily for every day wear. Massive cushioning. Stable feel despite the amount of cushioning

Hilda are very comfortable shoes and feel so natural in n my feet that even after wearing for hours I hardly know that I’m wearing shoes.

Most comfortable shoe I ever owned, and might buy a second pair.

These are awesome comfortable shoes that provide the stability I need.

I keep at least 3 pairs of these in rotation for my husband. He loves them.

This was bought for my grandson, who wanted a new pair for Christmas. He loves the comfort of these shoes and the fact they make him taller!

Walt at the Mishawaka store is fabulous. Very knowledgeable and has fantastic customer service!

Love the blue color, but fit seems tighter than the 8s.

On my feet all day and these sneakers save my feet!

l like the color and the style of the shoe.

Love the Bondi 9. Such a great shoe for taking my long speed walks. Makes it effortless and comfortable.

Comfortable but not as comfortable as previous versions of Bondi.

I fell in love with all the Bondi’s up until the 9’s. For some reason Hoka decided to make the 9’s alot more narrow than the previous ones. They are more like the Cliftons which never worked out for me when I gave them a try . Im disappointed. Shouldn’t of fixed something that wasn’t broken:(

So far these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. My son took me to Fleet Feet to make sure I did not wimp out on the price. I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the product and the expert help in picking the correct shoes that I needed. This is not a discount shoes store, but I now believe it was money well spent!

Great shoes , I feel big difference working 9 hours on concrete, very soft and comfortable, recomand them to every one standing a lot, I’m planning to buy one more pair asap

I love the bondi. This is probably my 6th pair. I wear them all day long.

Love them

Great shoes a must have for anyone who is on their feet long hours. And fleet feet is the best place to get them. Shipping is super fast and they have the best return policy I found online.

These are good for all day standing and walking.

My 7-8-9 or more pairs of this Hoka style. Great fit, very comfortable. They do seem to wear out their support much faster than I would expect for this expensive of a shoe. I do alternate wear to wearing them every other day . I will continue to buy in 5he future. C

Amazing fit and very comfortable

Extra Cushion and Comfort. Great for walking and travel.

My second pair of Hokas, which I enjoyed very much. These Hoka Bondi 9’s are excellent to date. I do sorta miss the tab on the heel to help get the shoes on. Walking a couple miles a day and my feet are cushioned exceptionally well. Wish they were waterproof.

Love my Hokas, since being introduced to the brand about 3 years ago. Super comfortable walking and just being in them shoe.

Wonderful shoes

Very comfortable. Arrived on time. Gray color is nice.

First pair of Hokas for me, absolutely love them and I can see now why my friends recommended them.

Still on tge fence.

Really comfortable running shoes. Great for walking as well

Took stress off of my knees and lower back

Great shoes! It’s only Hoka and Fleet Feet for me!

comfortable

This is my 8th pair of Hoka’s and love them. I’ve tried other shoes but none compare to the fantastic fit and comfort of the Hoka!

Very comfortable

I really like the shoes. My Foot Doctor recommended these shoes for me.

I love these shoes for a woman with narrow heels and a wide forefoot.

Super comfortable and are a pleasure to wear all day. My knees and back feel great during the day in which I travel anywhere between 6 to 10 miles per day. I’m on my second pair and they are definitely worth the price.

As always a great shoe and perfect fit every time. Just wished they didn’t cost so much.

I think the 8 was better but I’m Going to give these some Time to adjust. Btw It took 2 weeks to get to me via mail order from NC to AR I do not recommend mail order from them .

I have been walking with Hokas for several years. I have neuropathy in my feet from cancer treatment (and maybe old age!). These new Bondi models are better than ever. Plenty of cushion but seem to give more support than my three-year-old Bondi pair.

very nice shoe, comfortable, wish the toe box was a little bit wider

This makes my second pair! Love the fit and the look!

I have had 8 so I feel the 9 is an upgrade

Very comfortable shoe. Walks are now more enjoyable. The cushion in the shoes makes the impact on the foot almost unnoticable. Would recommend to anyone.

I chose the Bondi 9 for fit and width to help support my foot that recently underwent surgery. While no shoe is perfect, this one comes closest. Getting the proper fit at my local Fleet Feet was key and committing to a "different feel" in a shoe than what I was accustom. The only reason I did not give the Bondi 9 5 stars is purely on aesthetics. In wide widths the "cool colors" are not available so you're pretty limited to basics navy, black, grey, white with one exception being the lighter blue (which I also own).

Very comfortable and great for all day ware especially if you have tender feet

They are quite comfortable.

I have been wearing the Bondi for years. I have knee problems and the Bondi provide extra cushion and stability.

Comfortable work shoe if you work at a factory and stand all day, these are the best bang for your buck

This is my second pair of these shoes. They are by far the best shoes I have ever had. Fit is excellent and they wear well. I have back issues and they have helped with that as well.

Well cushioned, I can wear all day. Wish they had a really dark grey

Could use a better default insole. The default one gave me blisters on my heel

This is my fourth pair. Comfortable, superb cushioning and excellent for walking.

These are the most comfortable running/walking shoes I have worn! They give a great foundation and put a little spring in my step.

I tried these on at a local Fleet Feet and decided to order them when I found them on sale online. I usually wear the Clifton’s, and these feel very similar in comfort, but with a firmer level of support. They’re well-made and would be a great choice for someone who likes that extra firmness. For me, since I wear orthotics, they ended up feeling a bit too firm, so I’ll be sticking with the Clifton’s. Still, definitely a solid shoe worth trying if you prefer more support.

Comfortable

They fit great and comfortable

They are ok bottom of my feet feel good the side not so good

No longer the best. Too narrow, even the 2E. Soles wear out too fast

I started wearing Hoka’s when I was having knee problems and I work 12 hour shifts they helped me manage the pain but the bondi 9’s are the most comfortable shoe to date highly recommended them to anyone that works on their feet all day

Great shoes and price

Feels great as I expected from Hoka.

I absolutely love these Bondi 9s, I previously had the Bondi 8s ( my first Hokas ) these are the best sneakers I’ve ever owned, until I got my new Bondi 9s, the change in style and more ounce to the bounce these things are like walking on air. Truly the best sneaker by far. I walk every day and put a lot of steps and mileage on these and they’ve held up very well, all I can say is try’em you’ll love ‘em. Thanks HOKA!R

The best tennis shoe I’ve ever wore in my entire life and I wear them every day. That’s why I bought two pair.

Finally a shoe that fits my wide foot. It is so comfortable. It feels like I am walking on clouds.

Love the fit, and the cushioning. The material feels so much softer than my last shoes.

Great shoe, great fit. Very comfortable

Great shoe, great fit. Very comfortable

These shoes are my favorite. It’s the second pair that I have owned and they feel great.

These shoes are my favorite. It’s the second pair that I have owned and they feel great.

Always love the Biondi shoe, only wish more colors.

I have purchased at least 6 pairs of Hoka Bondi shoes over the past few years. It is the only shoe I will wear because my feet never hurt. I walk on concrete floors all day but my feet never hurt. I highly recommend the Hoka shoes.

They are fantastic. Very comfortable like the seven and eight models
