Excellent sole, if you buy it on sale, it's worth it! For walking & gym, just as Hoka suggests

The worst thing I have ever worn for running.
While at first it seems and is soft, it quickly loses its absorption and you feel the ground under your foot.
After 4 months, pieces started coming off the sole in the heel area.
The fabric started tearing much earlier.
Now I don't know if it's due to the 600+ kilometers of running in these 4 months, but it's the most useless.
It's a shame because as a shoe it is very beautiful.
Would I buy them again?
No.
Of course, this is a personal opinion.

I had the Kawana 1, and these have some very small improvements, mainly in the tongue and the back heel counter. I have tried almost all the models of the company (Bondi 8, Speedgoat 5, Clifton 9). I will take away one star after a few months of wearing them now, because compared to others, although they are quite soft, you don't feel like you know where you are stepping. You feel like you are stepping on soft foam without having information about the terrain. The Speedgoat 5s are much superior in this area, as you feel that the sole is more gel-like and you understand where you are stepping.
