Bondi 8 Running Shoe (Women)

I was excited to try the Hoka Bondi 8 for women, but unfortunately, I’m very disappointed in the traction. While running on a bike path with just a few wet spots from sprinkler runoff, I could feel my feet becoming unsteady, almost like they could slip out from under me. I stopped to test the grip at a slow pace, and they were still slick. I can’t imagine running up or down a hill in these conditions without risking a fall. I own and love other Hoka models for walking and trail running, so I’m bummed to be returning these.
