Customer Reviews Brooks Trace

I like that these running shoes are lightweight. I could only give it 3 stars because the top of the back of the shoes rubs my skin off leaving it raw. I am going to try putting bandaids over the spot next time I run, but it is a pain.

They seem like good sneakers but not for my feet. My left foot was getting really sore after wearing these for about two weeks. I do tend to have issues with shoes but I?d never had this particular issue before until I wore these.

I am not a runner. I wear them to work. I?m on my feet all day. They are a little too narrow for my foot. My foot felt squeezed all day. But as far as cushion , they were great.

I usually run I?m the ghosts. Bought these for work o wear 8 in ghosts-had to size up to 9 i these. They are sooo cute-but so tight! They rubbed me heels raw!

Shoe is comfortable and was definitely enough to get me started. For treadmill use was perfect but after I started putting in more outdoor weekly miles, I have decided to go and get an analysis done to find something a bit more tailored to my form. Not due to any problem with the shoe, just because I am older (40) and my body is not yet used to the physical repercussions. Once my legs get familiar I hope to keep this shoe in rotation and/or as a daily wear.

Very little ankle and knee support. Noticed the difference right away. You get what you pay for.

This is my second pair of Trace. I absolutely loved the first pair which is why I bought them again. However this pair does not fit the same. It leaves the arch of one foot with a dull ache that I didn?t have In the previous pair.

I was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis and my doctor recommended these. They are very comfortable but after going on a run I'm in more pain than when I wear my much cheaper Nikes.

I was hoping for more cushioning. Found it just had ok cushioning. Already have a pair very similar to this. Nothing wrong with the shoe, just not what I was looking for.

Highly comfortable at first, felt like walking on clouds. I have been wearing them to work every day as well as to work out. After only about a month they do not seem as cushiony as when I first got them.

Loved my first pair, which is why I bought a second. This pair fits a lot more snug than the other. Both the same size. Was not super happy with these.

The actual shoe/material is nice but the support inside was next to nothing.

I really enjoyed them at first, but the treads wore WAY faster than any other pair fo Brooks I have trained in.

I?m a true loyal Brooks fan. Dozens of pairs in my closet. I?ve had some pairs for a few years. With that, I purchased the new Woman?s Trace. Never really favoring a type, I?ve had adrenalines, Ghost, Lauch etc). But when I saw these, the price at the time looked great! My typical shoe size is an 11, I ended with a size 10 as the fit was a bit different than the others. These had great cushion, great support in the back, pretty minimal shoe. The day I purchased them I completed a trail 10K. Held up well. I felt super supported, had no leg or feet pains. The weeks following, I completed over 140 road miles (veteran support challenges) and the shoe had completely fallen apart. The last day of choosing to wear them, I lost a toe nail on one foot and 2 inside toe blisters on the other foot. Not typical by any means. My overall review, this is a fine shoe to walk in, but as a runner there is quite a bit of wiggle room in the toes thus allowing for blisters. They were super quick to stretch and the soles of the shoes completely split. I wouldn?t disregard these by any means as for comfort and cost, they?d make a great first running shoe. Experienced runner...not so much.

Disappointed. The upper material made of breathable mesh fabric seems inferior and not as flexible as the upper material on the Glycerin. Seems like there is more polyester in the upper on the Trace and it is a bit stiff. Also the insole is thinner. The fit is a bit off in the toe box as well.

I bought this same sneakers in an other color, and they fit perfectly. But these do not and are causing blisters on my toes.

Very little support and very narrow. Always have worn Brooks either purchased here or elsewhere but these do not fit at all. I tried wearing them but I finally had to return because they were squeezing my foot way too much. My thought is that they must be sized incorrectly. But Brooks shoes are still the best!

I?ve only put them on twice in my home but they feel tight. Thanks

Too narrow on my arch. I never have problems with shoes every bring you narrow. My previous shoes were gohst 14 and were amazing. I am going to go back to them.

This shoe gave me blisters consistently even after I broke them in, and they are the correct size. I've resorted to putting weights in them to try to stretch them out, but so far they still fit very weird and cause heel blisters. They are not comfortable like the other shoes I've gotten from here. Very weird design.

These are too short around the very top of my foot so I either tie them too tight or not tight enough. Even so tight my little toe goes numb, my heel rubs in the shoe. I blistered my heels after a short run. I have plenty of room in the toe box. I like the way they look but they just don?t work for my foot shape.

Wanted so badly for this shoe to work for me but it just didn?t. I originally bought these in a size 10.5 but they were too big and too wide so I returned and purchased a size 10. Size was fine but still too wide and way too much foot movement inside the shoe no matter what runners lace I tried or sock I wore. If I hadn?t missed the 90 days return window I would?ve returned these because they were never comfortable for me. I was hoping after more wear they would?ve eventually been comfortable but they weren?t. I usually wear Ghost or Adrenaline and just received my Ghost 13 today and can?t wait to run in them tomorrow.

They were too wide in the toe box. I needed the length but they were just not the right shape for my feet. I returned them. I ordered a half size up for the length as instructed but wound up too wide and boxy
