Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Bondi 9 is an ultra-cushioned trainer designed for runners and walkers seeking maximum impact protection during daily miles. It features a high-stack supercritical foam midsole and a structured engineered mesh upper, making it an ideal choice for recovery runs or long-distance efforts. While it offers superior comfort and a smooth transition, its high stack height may feel too bulky or unstable for those who prefer a ground-feel or high-speed racing performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Bondi 9 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, allow for a few short runs to let the 3D molded collar conform to your specific foot shape.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only. Remove dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap. Do not submerge or machine wash, as this may damage the foam structure.
- Drying: Air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can deform the midsole foam.
- Sizing: Ensure you have a thumb’s width of space in the toe box to accommodate natural foot swelling during long runs.
