Full details
The HOKA Bondi 9 is an ultra-cushioned trainer designed for female runners and walkers who prioritize maximum impact protection and comfort for their everyday miles.

Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or instability

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOKA Bondi 9 trainers remain in peak condition, proper care is essential. When first using the shoes, allow a short break-in period of 20-30 miles to let the foam conform to your specific stride pattern. For daily care, remove loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush after each run. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine, as high heat and heavy agitation can compromise the adhesive and foam density. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can cause the materials to warp.
