This shoe felt narrower in the forefoot than other Brooks models. Very stiff sole, not as comfortable. Returned them.

I was looking for a light running shoe, and these are great. I have a neutral foot strike and high arches. These shoes are really comfortable.

Nice neutral shoe for my orthotic. I am rehabbing a broken knee, and these shoes are really comfortable. The heel is narrow enough for me and I also appreciate the more narrow toe box than the other Brooks shoes I currently own (GTS XX). This is the first time I've tried the Trace. So far, so good. I use them for walking and not running.

Brooks sports shoes are the best and most comfortable for walking, which I do and I imagine for running too! They are lightweight and have a nice sole!

I have medium width feet and a large bunion on one foot. These fit well with my orthotic and did not rub against my bunion. And I find them to be an attractive athletic shoe.

I've only worn them twice so far and found them very comfy! I will be using orthotics with them after I've broken them in, but the arch support they provide is quite good!

They feel great! After putting them on, I realized how worn down my old shoes were. I love the colors, and I love the light weight, springy feel.

I purchased these as more of a knock around the house and walk the dog shoe and they worked out perfectly! I bought the Brooks Ghosts and noticed they weren’t well suited (for me) as a general use shoe. Those have become my work shoes and have been perfect for that. These Trace are a bit more stable than Ghosts and are better suited for many uses. They are still in the Brooks cushion family, so my feet enjoyed the cush ride. My feet are happy whether walking the pups or cleaning the house. A Great overall comfy shoe!

I wear orthotics which can be difficult to fit into my shoes but these are supportive & cushy soles.

I recently tried Brooks for the first time and liked them so much I now own three pair. I am an avid walker and these shoes have just the right amount of padding and support. They are very comfortable and very well made. Love them!

LOVE this shoe! Very cute color scheme and I'm really enjoying the comfort! I have difficulty with very sore feet as I get older! I'm not over the hill by any means but I guess my youth is coming back to bite me in the tush! Feel true to size and has a slight spring in the heel.

Fit and size were great, However…. just finished using glue to keep the inner soles from rolling up when I take my shoes off. Spent 99.00 on shoes and now repairing them myself. Where has quality gone?

I have struggled w finding comfortable shoes for the last couple years. I saw a lady w Brooks and decided to give them a try. I am blown away at how comfortable they are. I am an avid walker...3-4 miles a day and finally found a shoe that fits me correctly and is beyond comfortable. I could not be happier w this purchase!

I really like these Brooks. I have been ASICS loyal for the last 4+ yrs but found the last few I bought didn’t last or fit great. So I took a chance on these Brooks because I liked the way they looked. I’ve bought 2 of these now. One for daily and one for exercise. Cute style and comfort.

I replaced the inserts with a better arch support insert, then the shoes were perfect! The shoe felt a little narrower than a medium but that made them better for me. And I love the color!

The arch support is minimal at best, but I used my own arch-support inserts and then the shoes were perfect! I have plantar fasciitis so arch support is critical for me.

I normally wear a size 8.5. So for athletic shoes I always buy a half size up. I’m glad I did because they fit like an 8.5 but they’re perfect & roomy. Snug around the arches. . Wonderful cushion & arch support which is what I need.

The fit was true to size. I like the shoe and the style. I need extra arch support in my shoes so I always have to add the inserts. This is a great shoe and I am glad I bought it.
