Seems to me that you wouldn't have much traction


Well on Apollo 12, the crew stated that it was a constant battle, but after a while you'd sort of get used to it, especially having to stop before you were at where you were going, or else the momentum would just take you right on past (apparently, on Apollo 11, Buzz found this out the hard way when he ran right past the item he'd gone to get.) They also found that the dust was "slippery" and so traction was sometimes a problem.
