- Is the Bondi 9 good for beginners?
- Yes. The neutral ride and deep cushioning suit new runners building easy mileage. Its weight and softness make it less suited to speed work.
- How does the Bondi 9 differ from the Bondi 8?
- The Bondi 9 keeps the max-cushion EVA midsole and 5 mm drop but uses a revised knit mesh upper. It remains a heavy, plush neutral trainer rather than a faster shoe.
- Does the Bondi 9 come in wide widths?
- Yes. It is sold in normal and wide widths, and women's sizes run from US 2 to 18 depending on the colorway.
- Is the Bondi 9 waterproof?
- No. This version has no Gore-Tex membrane, so the knit mesh upper is breathable but not water-resistant.
- When is the Bondi 9 cheapest?
- Prices drop when a new Bondi generation launches and older colorways are cleared. The best new price was $75.02 at eBay as of November 7, 2026, against a typical $150-$165 retail.
