THE ONE DIFFERENCE THAT MATTERS

Grip and support versus softer all-day cushioning

You need grip and support

XT-6 has excellent grip and a supportive build, but gives up cushioning.

— Runrepeat

You walk long hours on pavement

Bondi 9 is Hoka's most cushioned shoe, and the XT-6 costs about the same.
