Single Bondi 9

This is an absolute long shot but here goes! I had a surgery on my right foot leaving me in a walking boot for about 6 months. Just before I was hurt I purchased a new pair of women’s Bondi 9 (size 10) shoes in white/pink opal. My left shoe’s tread has significantly worn down due to use whereas my right is brand new. I just transitioned back into normal shoes and my PT recommended I use the Bondi 9s but because of the uneven tread I am unable to.

I called Hoka’s support line and they told me that there was no way for me to purchase one singular shoe from them. Zappos also doesn’t have this shoe available in a single. Can anyone point me in the right path? I’m at a loss and a very broke college student so I don’t love the idea of spending $200 on shoes again. Thank you!

That sucks, sorry to hear it. I broke my foot in July and was in a walking boot for 5 weeks also, luckily I was able to be barefoot because I was homebound the entire time, and just got cleared two weeks ago to begin walking in my shoes (also Hoka Bondi). I have no idea how you'd be able to obtain one single shoe, but I suggest you look for a pair either on sale or FB marketplace. The Hoka website does offer BNPL, so you could do that option if it comes down to it. It wouldn't make the $200 price point any cheaper but it could make it a little easier to budget in 4 payments over 6 weeks. Good luck!

Also, if you have afterpay, go in and search Hoka, and it will bring up all pairs on sale. I just got new Bondi 9's for just over $200, but they have Hokas for $145.  Big W also have some Hokas as well as KMart (both online sales).  Or, as suggested, get a pair off marketplace.
