Details & care

Lightweight, plush and perfect for everyday runs, this workhorse running shoe delivers a soft, resilient ride and puts performance comfort under every step when you wear it as a walking sneaker.

Perfect for: Everyday runners and walkers looking for peak plushness and zonal breathability in a shoe that doubles as a walking sneaker when the pace slows down.

Upper: A stretchy, supportive knit features zonal venting for targeted air circulation. The 3D molded collar provides plush, ankle-hugging comfort and distraction-free lockdown. Extended heel pull promotes easy on and off.

Midsole Drop: 5mm. Classified as a mid-drop measurement, it pushes your foot forward to support a more natural mid/forefoot strike.

Lower: Premium foam and increased stack height put exceptionally plush comfort under every stride. Rearfoot-focused Active Foot Frame™ softens and supports every landing. Smooth MetaRocker™ construction guides every stride comfortably forward. Durabrasion rubber puts traction where you need it and resists wear in high-contact zones.

  • Cushioning: absorbs impact and distributes weight for consistent, buoyant comfort under each step
  • Hybrid: transitions from a running shoe to a walking sneaker with high-performance comfort for any activity
  • Lace-up style
  • Removable, cushioned insole allows for custom orthotics
  • Active Foot Frame construction puts reliable support under every landing

Surprised and Impressed -My First Hokas!

I’ll be honest — I was a little hesitant about the Bondi 9 at first because of the chunky sole. I wasn’t sure if they’d feel too bulky or look too “much” for everyday wear. But after wearing them for just a day, I’m completely converted! These are hands down the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. The cushioning is incredibly soft and supportive — it feels like walking on memory foam or clouds. I got them mainly for daily wear, and they've made a huge difference in how my feet, legs, and even lower back feel by the end of the day. They might look big, but they’re super lightweight and surprisingly sleek once they’re on. I’ve even gotten compliments! I’m so glad I gave them a try — these are now my go-to shoes for everyday comfort.

Run small!

If you are used to bondi 8, these are a very different fit. They run a half size smaller than both the bondi 7 and 8. My toes felt crammed in The toe box is also much more narrow, and the area around the ankle is strangely wide/loose. I’m on the fence about whether to try a wider size or a bigger size. First impression, I didn’t like these. Also, where’s the all white?

Incredibly comfortable

Love these shoes! I’m loyal to Hokas and this style doesn’t disappoint. I suffer from plantar fasciitis, but never in Hokas. Amazing support, super cushy and no pain when walking. These run true to size. Got my usual 7.5 wide. Worth every penny.

Absolutely wonderful!!

So comfortable and beautiful! I actually don't want to take them off. Usually my shoes are the first things I shed after I come in the door, but these shoes feel different than any I've ever worn. They "hug" my feet in a super nice and comfy way. Love them!

So comfortable

These shoes are so comfortable for walking. I had knee pain with all my other shoes and had to wear a brace. With these Hoka Bondi 9, knee pain gone!!! So happy I bought them! Worth it.

Walking All Day

I went into Nordstrom after a trip walking through multiple airports. My feet were killing me and I had another trip coming soon. I asked the sales lady what shoe she recommended. These were the first. I've never had Hoka's before and honestly thought the sole was aggressive. After trying on about 15 pairs of all kinds of brands and walking around the store, I agreed with the sales lady. I decided on comfort over fashion. These are exactly what I needed.

a disappointment

I bought a pair of Hoka's for my 4-day trip to New York. Just came back and sad to say that these pair of shoes are a disappointment. I have plantar fasciitis and after a full day of walking (20K+ steps) my right heel hurt. The shoes have cushion, but they are not orthotic shoes despite the description. If you are looking for orthotic shoes, definitely these are not for you. Or you can replace the shoe insert with orthotic insoles like what I did.

not same fit as Bondi 8

If you own the Bondi 8 you would notice a difference in the fit between them and Bondi 9. The Bondi 8 were true to size. I feel the Bondi 9 are more narrow. My toes feel scrunched slightly. Wore them around the house to see if they would loosen up a little will try the wide or half size up. It’s just disappointing how they change the fit. Makes it an inconvenience to find the right fit. Wish they were consistent with sizing when they come out with new versions. If you have narrow feet you won’t notice the difference. If your feet were slightly wide then you will feel the tight fit of these especially in the toe box area and side of foot.

omg bought cause of the colorway

I’ve always been a fan of on cloud monsters. Been using them for gym life everyday since 2022. Have gone through 4. 2025 I lost my dad to cancer within 6 months. I’m so heavy. I’m back to gym twice a day. Treadmill and dancing daily. These bondis are magical in the sense that I feel that I am floating and look oh so cute. And since I am heavier, I need shoes to support me. These r it. Buy them, an incentive to work out real hard!

horrible

These were the most misleading shoes I’ve ever purchased. They do feel like clouds when you initially wear them the first 20 minutes. But then they become so uncomfortable that I couldn’t wait to take them off. Horrible

Wanted to keep these but....

I wanted so bad to keep these shoes but unfortunately they rubbed the side of my ankle bone so much that I had to return them. I purchased a pair of Bondi 9 Running shoes last year and they were perfection. I was surprised how much the new ones hurt my foot. The design appears to have been changed to where the side of the show is a bit higher than before.
