Customer Reviews Brooks Trance™ 12

Love these Brooks. I already own a pair of these from last year so when I saw the beautiful blue for this year I just had to have them.

I was a little hesitant to purchase these because of the price. I'm a high mileage runner, and go through shoes fast, so I kind of hated the idea of falling in love with a shoe at this price. However, after one month running in them, I can say they are worth it. Comfortable from the get-go, sizing was true to all Brooks shoes I've run in, and they seem to make my super flat feet happy. I highly recommend these if you like the Adrenaline but want something a little more.

This shoe is very stylish. Unfortunately, it did not work out as the two seams that go over the toes really hurt and cause friction. Had to return for a different model.

Had to order 1/2 size up (11.5, typically wear 11 in running shoe). Fit nicely, has a rounded toe, which was nice for bunions. Moderate arch support, not too cushy, not too rigid. The only complaint I have is that the tongue shifts a bit and moves into the corner of the laces, causing a rubbing rash on the top of my foot. Hope they last a while!

The stitching in the toe area bunched up and was annoying. It rubbed with every step. It it wasn't for this, I would have loved these sneakers. Very supportive and well cushioned.

The Brooks Trance 12 is not nearly as comfortable as the Trance 11. The style has changed...bring back the same fit and comfort of the Trance 11!

I had been so excited to get these and was quite hopeful as I have had great luck with Brooks before. I wore these shoes one time, they caused significant pain on the top of my foot and pain that shot up the inside of my leg from my foot. I was so disappointed.

Very disappointed with Brooks new biodegradable insole. What that means is they no longer have any support whatsoever and you might as well go back to buying flat old Nikes. I have worn brooks for as long as I can remember for their excellent arch support and cushioning, I have returned 4 different pairs of Brooks in the past few weeks because they all have the new awful insole. I now have to find a new shoe for work (12 hour shifts) and running. Very upset with the new changes!

I love the shoes but I ordered an 8½ which is what i normally wear and that was to small. I ordered a 9 and my foot kept coming out of the shoe. The sizing is off.

This shoe caused a lot of pain on the outer aspect of both feet...I guess it is cut very narrow as I do not have wide feet. That is not the worst of it...the mesh part ripped away from the rubber on top of the shoe after about 1 month of minimal wear. This was very disappointing for me...especially for the price of these sneakers. I will not buy Brooks again.
