Critics' Consensus

“The HOKA Bondi 9 delivers excellent cushioning and a softer, lighter ride thanks to updated supercritical EVA foam, making it ideal for easy, long, or recovery runs. However, its heavy weight, narrow fit, and limited energy return hinder performance during faster efforts or race-day scenarios.”
