It's a beginner running shoe and works as advertised for that. Training for my first half marathon and it will carry me through that run. Will be looking at a step up Brooks shoe here shortly, possibly a pair of Ghost.

This model is a little more narrow than I am used to. That in turn affects the support and stability. For Style it is still one of the best. 70 miles in and am already thinking of replacing them. I have feet issues and am very tough on my shoes . overall Brooks are my go to, but, the trace will not be on the list. Back to the adrenaline?? We will see.

Great pair of kicks to add to rotation. Only been a short time since purchase, but so far you might have a dedicated buyer. For a mid level show this pair is great right out of the box. I like a wide toe box and these for the bill. I wear 11 regular in other shoes and that's what I ordered this pair in and they fit like a glove . If they hold up to everyday running you have a hard core other brand guy on your team !

These are gorgeous shoes and very well made. The cushioning is great but the sole is very stiff and inflexible compared with my Asic Noosa or any of my Hokas.

I mis read that these helped with stability, they do not. They are not bad, they just don't stabilize like I thought I had ordered.

I love this shoe :) I switched from Hoka. The only problem I have is they tend to loosen up a little to quickly especially around the middle part of the shoe and my foot starts to feel like it is sliding off the side of the shoe. I just bought my second pair.

Great addition to your fitness shoe collection. Reasonably price. The color is bold and fun. My husband prefers to rotate his shoes often. He walks approximately 5-10 miles per day (sidewalks/streets). He typically wears On cloud or Hokas, but opted to try Brooks based on reviews and price point. So far so good. No complaints of pain or discomfort.
I'd also recommend:
On Cloud, Hoka

The feel of shoes is very important but also extremely personal. Knowing every style within a manufacturer's line will probably have a slightly different feel I purchased these along with a pair of Anthem 5s and Cascadia 16s and wore each around the house for several days before deciding the Anthem 5s just felt the "best" to me. The Trace 2s fit appropriately and seem to be a very nice shoe but they just weren't as comfortable to my feet.
I'd also recommend:
I have a pair of New Balance court shoes that are perfect for pickleball.

A bit narrow for a wide width shoe, and overall feel a bit smaller than most of my size 12W shoes. But they are light weight and comfortable enough to keep

Provides ample foot support and active assist during foot motion. Provides for cooling of feet during run. I purchased enhanced color scheme attracting admiring glances as I do my paces.

Light-weight, Comfortable, sustainably produced. As compared to my 11 yr. Old adrenalines, Materials are superior, but the sustainable Trance gets my vote.

I loved the look of these shoes, but they run narrow, as I believe other reviewers mentioned. I ordered a pair of Ghost 14s at the same time, and they are much more comfortable for me.

Tried brooks because of a lot of the hype. They just weren't that comfortable for me and the slightest contact marred them. After a year, they look like some of my yard sneakers that I've had for 4 years. Getting a new pair of daily wear shoes and demoting these to yard work shoes.

I thought this shoe looked cute when I bought it, however, when I received it wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. Im on my feet all day and so I need cushion in my shoes. This insole felt a little unforgiving.

the shoes were highly recommended, so I tried them. I am recovering from ankle surgery, so I used them for physical therapy. my surgeon said they are designed for flat feet. you should label them as such

After a few months the bottom was peeling away from the back side. Returned to Zappoa no hassle. Not what I would expect from Brooks.

It's a good shoe but it is definitely not as wide as it is listed (2E). Checked the label and it says it is a 2E shoe, but others I have bought from Brooks were much wider and more comfortable.

I was disappointed in these shoes. Brooks are my favorite and usually fit well. These seemed to be lacking in padding, and the heel was very big. Not a keeper.
