Rei had bondis on sale for 81 USD. So the price your trying to beat on these discontinued shoes is that.

REI only has Women's Bondi 8 on sale and in 2 sizes and 2 colors, FYI. Women's size 5 WIDE in Harbor Mist/Lunar Rock. Women's size 12 in Black/White. Unless you're needing these limited sizes/colors specifically, I would say this is a good deal.

Hoka kicked off the large stack trend, but in my opinion, Nike's ZoomX and Adidas' Lightstrike Pro have taken it to the next level.

Finally a deal on wides! Thanks OP!

This is my first pair of Hoka. I tend to get pain in my ankles and knees when I exercise, so I hope they help.
bondi might be good for knee/ankles. because of cushion.
but if pain is cause but pronation or stability issues of the foot, Gaviota (on sale but not 15% off) might be better investment.

durability and quality is poorer on nike/adidas.
altra/hoka so called micro brands have been worth the premium. big brands dont seem to last as long.

adidas ultraboost dont last, the sole gets worn out mighty quick

my altra/hoka have lasted 400+ miles
with that said, adizero and prime (i might be blanking on the name) are comfy and ultra dad looking. if they were cheaper, i would give it a try.

Does size match across the board for Hokas? So if I know my size on the speedgoat's, should that match up to the bondi?

Hoka makes running shoes. They are popular with serious marathoners and triathletes. Find what works for you.

You're paying for the name. Similar to people paying $45 for a thermo cup that says Stanley on it, when you can buy the same thing at Walmart for a third of the price, but people won't think you're special.

I loved my Bondi 7s but there a couple of tweaks in the Bondi 8 that didn't work well for me. The new Bondi 9s are more like the 7s. I found the 8s less cushioned and the top of the foot area a little narrow even on the wide sizes. Still a great deal on these close-outs 8s

I used to have a pair of Bondi 8 in narrow, but they hurt my pinky toe when I walked. While I didn't feel the weight too much, I did experience some knee and hip pain, possibly due to the shoe's heaviness and the discomfort affecting my stride. I ended up returning them.

Yesterday, I swung by a Hoka store and tried the newly released Bondi 9. I went with the wide version this time, and it felt much better—my feet had more room to move, and I liked the fit. I didn't get a chance to compare the narrow version of the Bondi 9, but I'm wondering if anyone has compared the Bondi 9 wide to the Bondi 8 wide.

I heard that the Bondi 9 wide is more cushioned, about 2mm higher, and has a more breathable upper compared to the Bondi 8. For those who have tried both, does the extra cushioning and height make a noticeable difference?

I would disagree. If your knees and ankles are hurting while exercising (I assume leg exercises because there is no reason that they should hurt during arm or bench workout) then going so high stack size may actually be more detrimental, especially for leg exercises.

Ultraboost sole lasts forever with their Continental soles. After walking more than 1000 miles on trail, in gym and around town in my UBH-22, my sole is still fine and now even half worn out.

Also, with Hoka Bondi 8 the high stack seemed nice in the beginning but felt dead after about 50 miles. No spring action and the midsole just seemed to feel like a block of thermocole on the feet. Shoe midsoles should maintain the spring action of compressing and then decompressing to give the feet some push back. ZoomX feels great in that for a much longer time.
