Full details

FAQs
Is the HOKA Bondi 9 waterproof?
No, the Bondi 9 is designed with a breathable, engineered knit upper for maximum airflow and is not waterproof.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are optimized for road running and walking. The outsole and stability features are not designed for technical, uneven, or loose trail surfaces.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The HOKA Bondi 9 has a heel offset of 5mm.
Does this model come in wide widths?
Yes, many variants of the Bondi 9 are offered in EE wide sizing to accommodate different foot volumes.
How should I clean the knit upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt, followed by a damp cloth with mild detergent. Air dry away from direct heat sources.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal footbed is removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage during running
Utilize the top eyelet to create a runner's loop (heel lock) to secure the heel against the 3D moulded collar.
Outsole premature wear
Ensure you are using these shoes primarily on paved or flat road surfaces; avoid using them on rocky trails or abrasive gravel to preserve the Durabrasion rubber.
Upper material irritation
Loosen the laces to allow the knit upper to expand and ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks to prevent friction.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior impact absorption from the updated supercritical foam
- Secure and accommodating fit with the new engineered knit upper
- Excellent durability in high-wear areas due to the rubber outsole
- Smooth transitions provided by the signature Metarocker geometry
- Eco-conscious design utilizing 55% recycled materials in the upper
Cons
- Substantial stack height may feel bulky for some users
- Not intended for technical terrain or competitive speed work
- High level of cushion can reduce ground feedback
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOKA Bondi 9 lasts as long as possible, remove the shoes by unlacing them rather than pulling on the heel to protect the 3D moulded collar. The engineered mesh upper is best kept clean by wiping down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the supercritical foam's structural integrity. Because the shoe features a high stack height, it is recommended to ensure you are wearing the correct size for your gait to prevent unnecessary rubbing against the structured collar. If you use custom orthotics, the factory insert is removable to accommodate most aftermarket insoles.
