Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Bondi 9 is designed for runners and walkers seeking maximum impact protection during everyday training miles. It provides exceptional plushness and a highly resilient ride thanks to an overhauled midsole, though its increased stack height may feel too bulky for those who prefer a ground-connected, minimal running sensation.

FAQs
Is the HOKA Bondi 9 good for walking?
Yes, the high level of cushioning and stability makes it an excellent choice for walking and long-term standing.
Does this shoe have a wide fit?
The standard version is a D width; please check specific SKU options if you require wider or narrower sizing.
How often should I replace my Bondi 9s?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 400 to 500 miles, depending on your weight, running surface, and gait.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to hand wash them to preserve the integrity of the foam midsole and the adhesive materials.
Are these suitable for trail running?
The Bondi 9 is engineered specifically for road use. It lacks the aggressive lug pattern needed for technical trail grip and stability.
Troubleshooting
Knit upper feeling tight or restrictive
Adjust the lacing pattern to be looser across the midfoot or try a thinner performance sock.
Foot slipping out of the heel
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to perform a heel lock, also known as a runner's loop.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOKA Bondi 9 shoes last, untie the laces before removing them to protect the 3D molded collar from stretching. Clean the exterior knit upper by hand with a soft brush and mild soap, allowing them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. Because these are high-cushion road shoes, they are not designed for technical trail running where lateral stability is critical; stick to paved surfaces or light, flat gravel paths. Always ensure your socks are moisture-wicking to get the most out of the zonal breathability built into the knit upper.
