Customer Reviews Brooks Trace 2

Comfortable and not too heavy.

Nice fit. Not as much cushion as I'd like but great kick around shoes for me.

The ONLY reason I didn't give the full 5 star rating is be because I also wear the Adrenaline and the Ghost, and I can definitely tell the Trace 2 isn't quite as substantial as those. Now, to be fair, the Trace 2 is just as comfortable; VERY soft and cushiony, they just don't offer the same level of stability as the Adrenalines and the Ghosts. Great if you're looking for a lighter, more basic throw of shoe.

These shoes are so comfortable. At first I bought one pair for the gym and then I had to get another pair for everyday.... They are also so much fun to wear.....

Super comfortable helped my back problems I had from wearing Nikes glad i switched!

I have run a few times in these 5 plus miles and I love them! I was worried about these vs the ghosts but they are great! My first pair of Brooks and I think I'll be a life long buyer

Overall comfortable shoe, I use it for work as an RN and not for running. I think it wouldn't be as comfortable as my Ghost's for running, it has less "cush" in the footbed. I also wish it were more wide in the toe box.

I loved the colors (basically pink and black) and really wanted to like the shoes, but they just didn't fit my feet properly. The tops of my toes rubbed on the uppers, which was very uncomfortable after a while. I guess the toe box was not high enough. The shoes were a bit squeaky and didn't feel very well put together. But the comfort was the biggest issue. The problem with my toes was the biggest, but my arches also needed more help (even though I had put my orthotic inside the shoes - a pretty thin orthotic, so it wasn't to blame for the upper being a bit tight). Returning.

I love the sneaker but unfortunately it is to narrow and I have to return them. Very tight on outside of both my feet. I wore them for 3 days to see maybe they would stretch out but they didn't

I purchased these just for walking outside. I wanted a darker pair due to being outside with them more and price point was where I wanted to be for what I wanted them for. They are okay. If I walk fast going uphill - my heal hurts a very little bit, nothing major though. Again for the price - they are a great walking/running shoe and have great arch support. Glycerins are still my ultimate Favorite all around tennis shoe for me.

Very cushy, but tight on my toes. Had to return. :(

I have had a few different Brooks and the Trace 2 are just okay. They don???t aren???t very comfortable on me. I can???t wear them to work, or to work out, but they are fine for casual, short term wear. That said, they are good looking shoes. and still better than some other everyday shoes.

Unfortunately not for me. At Mile 1 on the treadmill my toes started to hurt. The toe box seemed too narrow for my feet. 5 stars for design. I'll be sticking to Ghost.

I really love the feel of these shoes, they don't hurt my feet, back or legs at all. The only thing that is kinda disappointing is the craftmanship. The front where the rubber that protects the front of the shoe and the shoe itself meets, you can see the glue used and it is uneven. They are such cute shoes and comfy but just needs some more quality control.

I really wanted to love these shoes but I'm finding them not that comfortable. I usually wear HOKA's and wanted to try something different. I'm finding that these are just not as supportive.

These shoes do not seem to have as much cushion as some of the other brooks. They also feel more narrow than my previous brooks. I walk and stand all day at work and the trace shoes are not the best fit for that. They may do great for something else but not for being on your feet all day.

These shoes are nice but I can't wear them while working the floor. They don't have enough cushion or support. Wrong choice if you're walking on concrete floors all day.

I am a 100% Brooks fan and won't buy any other brand. With that said, this is my least favorite of all of the Brooks that I have worn. I suspect I am wearing the shoes for activities they weren't designed for (kickboxing, group fitness), but I experience some heel pain with this particular style after completing a workout. I have not had this issue with any other styles so plan to just purchase a new pair that I will use exclusively for Group fitness and save the Trace 2 for my nightly walks. Again, this isn't a complaint as I will be a forever Brooks fan, but it has been the least comfortable style for me personally. That just means I get to buy a new pair of Brooks!
