FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Active Foot Frame design provides inherent support that works well for many foot types, including flatter arches.
Can I use these for speed work?
The Bondi 9 is built for comfort and mileage rather than speed, so it may feel too bulky for high-intensity sprints.
How often should I replace them?
Generally, running shoes lose their structural integrity and cushioning efficiency between 300 and 500 miles.
Is the knit upper water-resistant?
No, the knit upper is designed for breathability and will allow moisture to pass through.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
Yes, the molded design provides neutral support that cradles the foot effectively.
Troubleshooting
Knit upper feeling too tight
Try adjusting your lacing technique to a 'window' or 'parallel' lacing style to relieve pressure on the top of the foot.
Midsole foam losing responsiveness
Ensure the shoes are given at least 24 hours between long runs to allow the foam cells to recover their shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Bondi 9s maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, walk in them for a few miles to allow the knit upper to conform to your foot shape.
- Sizing: These shoes are standard fit; ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
- Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid the washing machine, as the heat and agitation can degrade the foam and adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry in a shaded area away from direct heat sources, which can warp the cushioning materials.
