FAQs
Is the HOKA Bondi 9 suitable for overpronation?
The Bondi 9 is designed as a neutral trainer. If you require significant stability features, you may want to consult a professional to see if it meets your specific gait requirements.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While comfortable, the high stack height can make them less stable for heavy weightlifting or lateral movements where a flat, firm base is preferred.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Bondi 9 features a breathable knit upper intended for airflow and is not treated with waterproof membranes.
How long should a pair of Bondi 9s last?
Most running shoes provide optimal support for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface, body weight, and gait.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if necessary.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping during movement
Try the runner's loop (heel lock) lacing technique using the additional eyelet at the top of the shoe to secure the ankle.
Midsole feeling less soft after long use
Foam compression is normal after hundreds of miles; ensure you are rotating pairs to give the cushioning materials time to recover between wears.
Upper material showing early signs of dirt
Spot clean the knit material immediately using a gentle brush and lukewarm water rather than letting dirt settle into the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Bondi 9, rotate them with another pair of shoes to allow the foam to fully decompress between sessions. To clean, remove loose debris with a soft brush and wipe the knit upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid fully submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the structural integrity of the midsole and glue. When lacing, ensure an even tension across the instep to utilize the full support of the structured upper without restricting circulation.
