READ HOKA BONDI 9 REVIEW

Underfoot, the Bondi 9 benefits from a new supercritical EVA foam midsole that’s lighter and more responsive than before. The rocker-shaped geometry and 5mm drop promote efficient forward motion and reduce braking forces, helping to maintain an upright posture and quick cadence. Despite the 2mm increase in stack height (now 43mm at the heel), the shoe feels stable and surprisingly unbulky, thanks to a narrower forefoot and slightly wider midfoot platform. Hoka’s design ensures your foot sits within the midsole, enhancing stability and keeping transitions smooth, even on varied terrain.

The outsole uses abrasion-resistant rubber pods for solid grip and durability, performing well even in wet conditions. At just 297g for a men’s UK 9, the Bondi 9 feels light despite its size, adding to its cruisy character. While it’s not built for speed sessions, the Bondi 9 excels in comfort and cushioning. Available in standard and wide widths, and running slightly small in sizing, it's a reliable option for those who prioritize a soft, stable ride during steady-paced mileage.
