The HOKA W Bondi 9 Wide is a running shoe that combines maximum cushioning with high performance, designed for running on asphalt, perfect for long distances and daily training. The shoe features a wide fit, a 5 mm drop, and is built for running on hard surfaces, based on a symmetrical cushioning platform.
The EVA midsole with an elevated sole (high stack height) provides comfortable shock absorption in the Bondi 9, which, together with Active Foot Frame technology, wraps around the ankle for a perfect fit and creates a feeling of gliding forward, while the Smooth MetaRocker™ promotes a propulsive running stride.
The upper is made from engineered mesh with zoned ventilation and contains 55% recycled polyester. The shoe features a 3D-moulded collar, an extended heel tab, and reflective details. The outsole is constructed with a segmented sole (separate pods) and Durabrasion rubber in high-wear areas, offering flexible grip where you need it and longer durability — while the moulded EVA insole provides immediate comfort and stable cushioning for long, comfortable runs.
Smooth MetaRocker™ is a rocker-shaped midsole geometry that, combined with cushioning midsole materials, guides the foot’s roll from landing to toe-off for a more efficient stride progression.
Active Foot Frame™ is a sole design that allows the foot to sit within a recessed cradle, providing enveloping support, lateral stability, and a secure feel while maintaining soft cushioning.
