Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too soft or unstable during runs.
The Bondi 9 is designed for maximal cushioning. If you find it too soft, ensure your lacing provides a snug, secure fit. This model prioritizes plushness over firm ground feel.
My feet feel hot or sweat excessively.
The breathable structured knit upper is designed for ventilation. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks made of moisture-wicking materials to help manage sweat and promote airflow.
The fit around the ankle feels loose or uncomfortable.
Adjust your lacing technique to ensure a secure fit. The 3D molded collar is designed for comfort, but personal preference and lacing can impact the feel. Experiment with different lacing patterns if needed.
Concerns about premature wear on the outsole.
The Durabrasion rubber is strategically placed in high-wear zones for durability. While designed to last, extensive mileage or abrasive surfaces can impact lifespan. Consider rotating with other shoes if you run very high weekly mileage.

Setup: Simply lace up the HOKA Bondi 9 to your preferred tightness. Ensure the 3D molded collar sits comfortably around your ankle. No special setup is required.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for road running. Their neutral cushioning makes them compatible with most running gaits. They are best paired with athletic socks designed for running to maximize breathability and comfort.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or hot water.
- Drying: Air dry your shoes away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as excessive heat can damage materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
- Maintenance: Regularly check laces for wear and replace if necessary. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can compromise the shoe's structure and materials.
