Brooks

Trace 4

Women's

These feel like the old Ghost 12’s, I called Brooks because I’ve had to return so many shoes because the tongue hits 2” above my ankle bone. Most of the brands have so much cushion they don’t feel stable and now the new thing is let’s just make the tongue so it goes up your ankle, I was told it’s the trend and all the brands follow each other I tried so many different brands my head is spinning. I don’t want the heel of my shoes flaring out beyond the heel of the shoe and I don’t want memory foam running shoes what happened to the industry they are like sheep copying each other and when they have a winner like Brooks Ghost 12 they screw it up by changing the fit.

I want my running shoe to be light - thats a must when youre going for mileage - but I also want to feel like I can run over rocks on the trail and not break my feet. These shoes are not only stylish (the perfect color!) but also so comfortable and functional. The ankle part doesnt slip, so I didnt need extra socks/tape to prevent rubbing. The laces stayed put without any fuss. The tread gave me good grip both while running in the elements and doing box jumps and lunges. I also didnt feel like the shoes rocked one way or the other, and it kept my stride natural. I am in love with these! They are so comfortable and cute that I dont mind running a couple of errands or stopping for coffee after my run.

The fit was very odd. I ordered my usual size 8.5 wide and the backs were constantly sliding up and down. I could not have sized down because my toes were nearly at seams. A shame because they were very lightweight and cushy

There is never a day where I am not walking or running, so I need a solid shoe where my feet dont hurt after. Ive had plantar fasciitis in the past and have been known to over pronate while running but these shoes keep my feet stable and dont leave my feet hurting after. These shoes were easy to break in and were really comfortable from the first wear. The shoe is pretty stabilizing but also cushiony. I like this shoe for both running and long walks. I also really like the look of the shoe, they go well with a lot of color schemes and are very clean looking. The fabric seems like it would dry quickly and is pretty airy so my feet didnt get too hot. I will say I have narrow feet and these fit pretty spot on so may not be great for someone with a wide foot. I would definitely recommend these shoes to anyone looking for a good running/walking shoe or just a comfy shoe in general.

I really love these Trace 4 running shoes! They fit perfectly like a glove, and they feel very lightweight and cushiony. As far as design goes, I like the mint green accent against the white background, and the breathable fabric upper means more comfort for my feet, especially when Im really working up a sweat. There are also built-in grooves outside the shoe to help absorb impact and provide stability. What I love most is that they are super comfortable to wear, whether Im walking or running, and are ideal when Im using the treadmill. There are only a couple of things I would change: while this specific shoe only offers neutral support for comfort and durability, I do wish it offered a little more support for days that Im running off trail. I also wish the shoelaces were a bit longer. Overall though, these are wonderful shoes and I am extremely happy with them!
