Our Verdict

HOKA Bondi 9

Mount to Coast C1

The HOKA Bondi 9 and Mount to Coast C1 are two similarly stacked running shoes that suit different kinds of runners. The Bondi 9 feels softer when you step in, but once you start running, the C1 does the better job of absorbing heavier impacts. Both have cushioning that holds up well over long runs, but the narrower fit of the HOKA, combined with the dual lacing system of the C1, makes the upper of the Mount to Coast more comfortable over longer distances.
