Men's Bondi 9

I have waited 26 years for a walking shoe like the Bondi 9 and am super appreciative to the Hoka team for making them. Why? After walking a 5k twice since I slipped these on, I have not felt any pain whatsoever. I had hammertoe real bad, until now. That's history! No longer worried about that. I don't care how these look (which isn't bad anyway); because I walk early in the morning. They work for what they are intended to do and that is what counts. I will admit that walking in takes a little getting use to because these shoes are a little higher up from the ground than I am use to, but that is okay. No problem with that. I do also have to mention -- after doing some research, the best way to wear these Bondi's is with wool, not cotton, or else you might experience some uncomfortable rubbing which gets annoying after mile 2.5. So, I did switch to wool, and now I feel like I am walking on air at 4 miles per hour, which is good considering my age. I have no idea how durable these are since I have only worn them for a short time, but they are lightweight and very stable, especially for what I consider these shoes to be big overall, not foot wise, but shoe wise. Hopefully, I made that clear. I still cannot believe my feet felt the same from start to finish without pain. I am totally flabbergasted! But, that's just me. You might have a different opinion on that, which is fine. Again, a HUGE thanks to the Hoka team for creating this shoe. It runs a bit expensive, but it is definitely worth the price.!

Excellent shoe. Comfortable. Perfect for running or walking.

Fit perfectly. Most comfortable Hoka I have worn.👍

I was suffering from a case of plantar fasciitis in my right foot, and a friend recommended I try these shoes. First of all, these shoes are extremely comfortable, as if I'm walking on pillows. Even without the foot condition, I would recommend these just for the sheer comfort. In any case, after almost 3 months (as well as recommended exercises), the plantar fasciitis is nearly resolved. Highly recommended and worth every penny!

Really nice shoes, super comfortable. They are expensive but so far they seem like they are worth the cost.

It's early but these shoes are so soft you actually have to get used to standing in them. They have roller treads, so this is also different for me. I came from very flat neutral Brooks shoes. I left Brooks because of heal rub. These heals curve away slightly, so this is also different then Brooks and why I bought them. They look fantastic 10/10 on looks alone.

These are good for problem feet, but you need the right style. The style i bought was vert helpful in relieving the arthritic pain in my big toe, and was otherwise comfortable. The best thing about buying this product through Amazon is the ease of return, if it’s not the best fit. Finding a store with the right products was difficult.

...and I know this because I tried on a pair in my size (10D American/44 European) at my local store to compare them before I bought these. The women's version also have - in my opinion - prettier colors. Even when they're supposedly the same color, they look different. Like, the all white women's Hoka Bondi 9s are a bright white, while the all white men's version of them are slightly off-white. Reminds me of how it looks when you throw something white in the washer with other colors, and it comes out looking a little dingy😂 I found out I'm only a size bigger (11D Wide) in the women's shoes...which is interesting to me, since I'm typically two sizes bigger but not wider when I wear women shoes instead of men's. You may be that way too. The associate at the store I went to advised me to go by European sizes as opposed to my American one because they're more standardized. Seems like solid advice, especially when I was two different American sizes in men's shoes (I also tried on some Brooks), and yet my European one remained the same for both. Throwing all of this out there for anybody who might be a similar predicament and/or have issues with buying shoes online because of the potential error in sizing. Anyhow, I got these Hokas because they were recommended to me by a friend who's on his feet all day doing construction, then comes home and will casually do a half marathon in the middle of the week. (Crazy, I know.) He, like me, has wide feet and likes a lot of cushion in his shoes. Now I freely admit I don't know anything about walking or running shoes - still fairly new to the fitness world - but he seemed like a good person to take advice from under the circumstances. I will say that I have not been disappointed! These Hokas are even more gorgeous in person! They came with an extra set of laces in addition to the ones shown as well - those were a very pale peach color that matches the top of the shoe. Thought that was nice. These shoes have proven to be very suitable for both walking and rucking. As of the date of this review, I've put 137 miles on mine (100 indoor rucking with up to 46 lbs in total at one time, the rest just regular walking) and never once had my feet hurt. I really like how the way this style of shoe is made keeps my foot from trying to roll to the side. My Hokas have gotten me through a half marathon with 25 lb in my ruck and no blisters afterward, something I can't say the same about when it came to a pair by different company. They're definitely a quality shoe for the money you pay! The only downside is the price; they were about 50 bucks more here than if I had bought them in person. However, my local store also didn't have this color, so...yeah. It is what it is. Overall, I have no regrets about my purchase. Would definitely buy these again! In fact, I've fallen in love with this brand and have since ordered a pair of all black shoes in the same style to walk outdoors in. P.S. For those of you who like to have different colored laces then the shoes like I do, the lime green (which looks more like neon yellow to me, but whatever) ones that come in the Brooks Glycerin Max look pretty good with these! That was a nice bonus since I wanted to swap out those laces with a different color. And honestly, how often are you gonna come across a shoe aside from the original where that color looks good?🤷🏻‍♀️😂 I've posted two pictures of them so you can see. Of course, they don't match the green on the sole of the shoe EXACTLY, but they're close enough. Just ignore the dirt haha. If some (or any) of this was helpful to you, please indicate as much via that button. I don't normally write reviews, especially long-winded ones, so that will help me out. Thanks in advance!

クッション最強 サイズは普段のサイズを選ぶといいです。 自分は普段から26cmです

長時間の歩行による足裏痛対策で購入 これまで好きなブランドとしてonのクラウドシリーズやアディダスのウルトラブースト等履いてきましたが、自分にはHOKAが合ってると認識できたので良かったです

歩きやすく、足の負担が少ない。一日中立ってたりすると夕方には踵が痛くなっていましたが、この靴だと大分軽減されました。

Muy bonitos y tiene que ser muy comodos

足全体が包み込まれるような感覚は衝撃的、クッション性は抜群で足裏筋膜炎でしかも右足小指に魚の目が出来ている私は最適ですね。私が普段履いているOnのCloudsurferは靴の前側はすっきり細目ですが、すこし膨らみがるから余計楽ですね。このへんは好みが分かれると思うし履き心地としては甲乙つけがたいですが、楽さは、こちらのボンダイ９のほうが上かな。今回、結構な割引価格で買えたこともあり大満足です。
