The HOKA Bondi 9 (2E Wide) Men’s Running Shoes!
The HOKA Bondi 9 (2E Wide) is built for runners chasing maximum cushioning and comfort over long distances. Designed for everyday road mileage, it delivers the signature plush Bondi ride with extra width for those who need more space through the midfoot and forefoot.
This latest version has been re-engineered from the ground up. The stack height has been slightly increased, and a new premium EVA foam midsole delivers a softer, more resilient feel underfoot. The structured knit upper combines zonal breathability with a 3D-moulded collar for a secure, comfortable fit, while Durabrasion rubber in high-wear areas extends the life of the shoe.

-
2E wide fit – extra room in the midfoot and forefoot for comfort and stability.

Premium EVA foam midsole – super-cushioned and responsive for long-distance comfort.
