FAQs
Are the HOKA Bondi 9 trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Bondi series is known for a stable base. If you have specific width requirements, ensure you check the specific size and width designation (D or EE) to ensure the best fit.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the structural integrity and foam properties of the shoe.
Is the Bondi 9 appropriate for trail running?
These trainers are designed primarily for road running and pavement. Their tread pattern is not configured for technical trail terrain.
How should the shoe feel when new?
You should feel firm support through the arch and significant cushioning under the heel and forefoot without feeling like your foot is sliding.
What is the primary difference between this and minimalist shoes?
The Bondi 9 features a high stack height for maximum cushioning, whereas minimalist shoes offer little to no cushioning to promote a natural gait.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or pressure points during use
Adjust the tension of the laces. You may also need to try a different lacing pattern to provide more room in the toe box.
Knit upper collecting dust and debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid submerging the shoe in water if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Bondi 9 trainers, proper maintenance is essential. Ensure your shoes are properly laced to secure the midfoot without restricting blood flow. If you wear custom orthotics, the interior volume of the Bondi 9 is generally accommodating for most inserts.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use mild soap and cool water for spot cleaning.
- Drying: Air dry only. Never place your trainers near a direct heat source, such as a radiator or a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can degrade the foam midsole.
- Replacement: Evaluate your footwear every 300 to 500 miles. If the midsole foam feels compressed or the tread is worn thin, it is time for a replacement.
