HOKA Bondi 9 - Black - Size UK 7

It's ideal for neutral runners and walkers who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort for road-based activities, including daily training, long distances, and recovery runs.

The Bondi 9 features an upgraded Super Critical Foamed EVA Midsole with an additional 2mm in stack height, offering an even more plush and protective ride than its predecessors, making it one of HOKA's softest shoes.

No, the HOKA Bondi 9 is specifically designed for road running and walking. Its outsole and cushioning are optimized for paved and even surfaces, not rugged trails or uneven terrain.

Neutral stability indicates that the shoe provides balanced cushioning and support without features designed to correct overpronation (foot rolling inward) or supination (foot rolling outward). It allows your foot to move naturally.

Gently wipe the upper and outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage materials and void warranties.

The HOKA Bondi 9 has a 5mm heel-to-toe drop, providing a moderate differential between the heel and forefoot height.

Yes, the Ortholite Hybrid Sockliner is removable, allowing you to easily replace it with your preferred custom orthotics if needed.

The Engineered Mesh Upper enhances breathability, providing optimal airflow to keep your feet cool. It also offers a comfortable, adaptive fit around your foot, reducing friction and irritation during use.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking athletic socks, as cotton socks can trap moisture. The HOKA Bondi 9 features a breathable knit upper and Ortholite Hybrid Sockliner designed to enhance airflow and manage moisture, but proper sock choice is crucial.

The Bondi 9 is specifically designed for plush cushioning and neutral stability, meaning it prioritizes maximum shock absorption without providing corrective support for pronation or supination. If you require more stability, consider exploring HOKA models specifically engineered with stability features.

While the Durabrasion Rubber Outsole is built for durability on road surfaces, excessive wear can sometimes indicate specific running gait patterns or frequent use on abrasive surfaces not typically intended for road shoes. Rotating your running shoes with other pairs can also help extend their lifespan.
