FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The knit upper provides some natural stretch, but if you have notably wide feet, you may want to ensure you are wearing the correct length as the structured frame of the Bondi 9 is designed for a secure, locked-in fit.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are designed primarily for road and hard-surface running. The outsole is not designed for technical, uneven, or rocky trails.
How often should I replace my Bondi 9s?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles depending on your weight, running style, and the surfaces you use.
Do I need to break them in?
While the foam is comfortable out of the box, it is recommended to take a few short walks or light runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike pattern.
Are these machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the cushioning foam. Always clean by hand.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try an alternative lacing pattern, such as skipping the eyelets where the pressure occurs, to reduce tension across the arch.
Accumulation of debris inside the knit
Gently brush the upper with a soft-bristled brush after use, or shake the shoes out thoroughly to remove loose particles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your Bondi 9 trainers, proper fit and maintenance are essential. When you first receive the shoes, ensure there is about a thumb's width of space in the toe box for natural foot swelling during exercise. For care, hand wash with mild soap and cold water if they become dirty; avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can degrade the foam's structural integrity. Allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the polyester material and cushioning properties.
