HOKA - Women's Bondi 9 (WIDE)

*NEW*

The HOKA Bondi 9 is the latest evolution of the highly-cushioned and ultra-comfortable Bondi series, offering maximum cushioning, enhanced support, and a smooth ride for runners who prioritize comfort and protection, especially during long-distance runs. Building on the legacy of its predecessors, the Bondi 9 brings a few key upgrades that improve its overall performance, fit, and durability.

Key Features of the HOKA Bondi 9:

1. Maximal Cushioning:
   The Bondi 9 retains HOKA’s signature full-length EVA foam midsole that provides one of the most cushioned experiences in the running shoe market. This soft, plush cushioning helps absorb shock and reduce the impact on joints, making it ideal for runners who need extra protection during long runs, recovery days, or daily training. The cushioning is designed to offer comfort without sacrificing performance, providing a soft underfoot feel that lasts mile after mile.

2. Updated Upper Construction:
   The upper of the Bondi 9 has been updated with engineered mesh that delivers a more breathable, supportive fit. It’s designed to enhance ventilation, keeping the foot cool and dry during long runs or in warmer conditions. The refined upper also provides a better fit around the heel and midfoot, helping to secure the foot in place for a more stable and comfortable experience.

3. Meta-Rocker Geometry:
   Like its predecessors, the Bondi 9 incorporates Meta-Rocker technology, a unique midsole design that helps create a smoother, more efficient transition from heel to toe. This rocker shape promotes a natural stride and encourages forward propulsion, making the ride feel effortless, even with the shoe's ample cushioning.

4. Enhanced Durability and Traction:
   The outsole of the Bondi 9 features high-abrasion rubber strategically placed in key areas for improved durability. The rubber compound has been optimized for a longer lifespan, while the multi-directional lugs provide enhanced grip and traction on both roads and light trails. This makes the Bondi 9 versatile enough for a range of surfaces, offering a secure grip in various conditions.

5. Slightly Refined Fit:
   The Bondi 9 continues to offer a roomy toe box, allowing for a more comfortable and natural fit for those with wider feet or who prefer extra space in the forefoot. The overall fit is plush yet secure, with a snug heel and midfoot to prevent slippage while maintaining comfort throughout long runs.

6. Sustainability Efforts:
   HOKA continues to prioritize sustainability, and the Bondi 9 includes eco-friendly materials in its construction, making it a more environmentally conscious choice for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint while enjoying maximum comfort.
