Our Verdict
Brooks Glycerin 22
HOKA Bondi 9
The HOKA Bondi 9 and Brooks Glycerin 22 are both daily cushioned trainers but differ in feel and purpose. The Bondi 9's supercritical EVA foam and wide platform deliver a softer, more protective ride ideal for easy or recovery runs. The Glycerin 22's nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 midsole feels denser and more stable, offering a firmer, more traditional experience suited for steady daily mileage. Runners prioritizing plush comfort will favor the Bondi 9, while those wanting a balanced, consistent ride will prefer the Glycerin 22.
