Best Winter Running Shoes for Traction and Warmth


Runner’s World Review

This version has a similar sole height and ride to its predecessor, but it comes with a more beveled heel for a smoother landing, more forefoot rubber for better durability, and a new supportive upper. Some testers found the upper constrictive, while others gave it top marks. On the run, they liked the Bondi 4's stable feel and recommended it for recovery runs or long runs, or for people nursing minor injuries. Bottom Line: Smooth roller.

We put each shoe through real-world usage and a battery of mechanical tests in our lab to provide you with objective — and exclusive — data. In addition to a shoe's weight, we measure sole thickness (everything that sits between your foot and the road), how well the foam cushions your stride, and the flexibility of the forefoot. All this is taken into account in our reviews of each shoe.
