One of the hardest working shoes in the HOKA lineup, the Bondi 9 delivers peak plushness for everyday miles. Overhauled from top to bottom, we’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.

Best Walking Shoes Ever Purchased
I’ve finally found it — the Hoka Bondi 9 is hands-down the most comfortable walking shoe I’ve ever owned. From day one, the plush, supercritical EVA foam feels like you’re pushing off on clouds, and the MetaRocker design lets every step roll smoothly without effort. The knit upper and 3D molded collar hug your foot just right — no pinching, no slippage, even during long walks or travel days.Built tough with a durable rubber outsole, these hold up well on concrete, pavement, and daily wear. Despite the thick cushioning, they don’t feel bulky — in fact, they’re lighter and more responsive than expected.If you’re on your feet a lot or walk for exercise, these are worth every penny. Unmatched comfort, support, and quality. Five stars, easy.

Never Going Back to Regular Shoes!!
As someone with flat feet all their life, these shoes are a major improvment to my quality-of-life. I used to have random sores and pains in the evening after long periods of standing or walking, long after the physical activity/strain, and speculated that I would need physical therapy.However, after a few weeks of wearing these shoes, a lot of my discomfort vanished, and I'm finding it comfortable walking around on hardwood floors again barefooted.A bonus is a bit of a boost to my height, better posture, and ability to walk without distracting pain.

Walking on a Cloud
I previously was fitted for Hoka shoes but they weren't comfortable. It was a different model with not a ton of cushion. I stand all day and push 10,000-15,000 steps. I needed shoes that would help my feet make it through the day. I heard good things about this model and I'm very happy with these. Minimal break in and now they fit and feel like I've been wearing them for a long time already. I love how cushioned they are while not inhibiting my natural walking. I've always felt like a good shoe is one that offers the support you are looking for while also being comfortable enough that you forget that you are wearing them. These feel like the premium and quality shoe that the price justifies. They may seem a little pricey but I feel like my feet are worth it. If you've never tried the Hoka brand and you are looking for a comfortable shoe of high quality, look no further.

Pleasant walking shoe
Terrific show. The toe box accommodates my wide foot nicely. Very comfortable. The shoes are terrific shock absorbers. They do squeak a bit as I walk on our wood floor. That will probably go away. If not, my wife would take off a star, or three.

This is an amazing shoe and I highly recommend it
Suffered with Achilles tendon pain in 1 foot for many many years. Walking, something I love to do, was always painful and the day after a long 3 to 5 mile walk, extremely painful. I saw these shoes recommended and thought I would give them a try. They are a bit clunky with such a deep sole, but I would almost want to refer to them as miraculous. The first couple of walks in them actually seem to exacerbate the pain, but after a couple of walks the pain became less less. In just a couple of weeks I walk absolutely pain-free and no pain the day following a long walk. This is my shoe now. When I wear these out, I will buy another, and another, and another. I cannot say enough good about the Bondi 9. It is changing my life and giving me something that I loved back.

Rather good but not perfect.
For the most past these shoes are quite comfortable though after prolonged standing (over 2 hours) due the the elevation of the medial heel area being slightly higher than the lateral heel area it feels like your feet (not the shoe or the sole) are slightly slipping outward forcing you to "correct" your stance by twisting your ankles inward shifting weight to equalize that elevation. Other than the aforementioned these shoes rock, they are light and the fabric breathes well; they are sturdier than the materials suggest.

Awesome
These shoes are amazing and I most likely will not purchase any other type shoe. They are plenty wide and very comfortable to walk in. I was cruising around the airport in Florida this week

Great pair of shoes, I walk on concrete all day at work and I can say no more pain. Great shoe tech.
