Full details

FAQs
Who is the Hoka Bondi 9 best suited for?
The Hoka Bondi 9 is best for road runners, walkers, and individuals seeking maximum cushioning for comfort, especially those on their feet for long periods or recovering from runs.
What is the main difference in the Bondi 9 compared to previous models?
The Bondi 9 features all-new, lighter, and more resilient foam, an updated extended heel geometry for a smoother ride, and a pillowed tongue for enhanced comfort.
Is the Bondi 9 suitable for someone with flat feet?
The Bondi 9 offers neutral support with a symmetrical bed of cushion. While many find it comfortable, individuals with flat feet experiencing overpronation may benefit from a stability shoe. Consulting a running specialist is recommended.
Can I use these trainers for trail running?

The Hoka Bondi 9 has a heel-to-toe drop of 4.00 mm.
How do I clean my Hoka Bondi 9 trainers?
Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the Hoka Bondi 9 is available in various colorways. Please check the product listing for currently available options.
What does 'Vegan' mean in the product description?
Vegan means that the shoe does not contain any animal-derived products or by-products.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too soft or offer less ground feel than expected.
The Bondi 9 is designed for maximal cushioning. If a firmer feel is desired, consider shoes with less cushioning. If the softness is excessive, ensure the correct size is being worn, as a too-large shoe can feel less stable.
Discomfort or rubbing around the heel or ankle.
Ensure laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose. Break in the shoes gradually. If persistent, check for sock compatibility or consider using moleskin in potential hot spots.
Reduced cushioning or performance over time.
While durable, cushioning can degrade after extensive use (typically 300-500 miles). Check for signs of wear on the outsole and midsole. Consider replacing the shoes if performance has noticeably decreased.
Exterior dirt or stains.
Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used cautiously. Always air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can cause shrinkage or material degradation.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Laces: Check laces regularly for wear and tear, and replace as needed. Consider using no-tie laces for added convenience.
