The Hoka Bondi 9 is a max cushioned daily trainer with a cushioned, smooth and stable ride. This version is a major update from the Bondi 8, which was a walking favorite with a firmer ride. The 9 softens up the midsole just enough while still providing a stable and supportive platform for longer miles. This is a great choice for comfortable everyday runs as well as high-mileage marathon training. It performed well on a 20 mile long run out of the box and still felt great beyond 100 miles of testing. It's tuned for comfort over speed, so if you're looking for a faster everyday shoe, consider the Asics Novablast 5.
