Customer Reviews Brooks Trace 2

Cute. Cramps my toes and causes arch strain. Slippery on wet surfaces. Laces could be longer.

I am a Brooks fan. Ever since I started running, Brooks have been my go to. I decided to try these and I have had shin splints. I think they could be the shoe for some people, but I know I need more support than these can provide.

I was interested in trying this lightweight option for work, casual wear. Unfortunately, my other Brooks have spoiled me. I do not find these to be comfortable. My feet hurt from wearing them, even just standing at my kids sporting events or wearing to work. Less quality make as well. After two wears, they were fraying on the lip. I would not try to run in this pair.

I love the style and the looks but every time I wear these I get horrible heal pain. From running on treadmill to going for an outdoor walk to just wearing them casually. So upsetting as I we love these. But after lots of $$ with a dr and trying to see if it was something else it always comes back to the brooks sneaker.

Not as comfortable to run in as ghost. Doesn't absorb the shock as well, hurt my knees and feet.

Shoe quality seems to be poor. They use to last longer now they just don't hold up anymore like they use to.

Never used cause if my wife wS hurting with hers I didn't want to hurt. We got matching shoes

Love and hate. I love the looks of my Lisa Congdon pride sneaker. They are cute and happy and colorful. But OUCH!! After about 4 hours my feet are killing me and I can barely walk. I could never run in these. There feels like a lack of arch support and the height of shoe is so narrow that no matter how I lace them, or don't lace them, they are putting pressure on the top of my foot. So painful it takes a solid week to recover.

A very light weight shoe, however I've never had a shoe hurt my feet as much as these. I put my own inserts in them, but to no avail. Sadly I will be returning.

I am accustomed to Brooks Glycerin and these are not anywhere near the comfort of those. I bought these because I loved the color and I thought Brooks are Brooks...that is not true. The shoes do have some support but they do not offer the same type of support and comfort that I have found in the Glycerin line.

Not enough cushion Mesh in front bends Not made the best

Gadzooks!! I'm obviously in the minority here, but these shoes are an absolute NO. OUCH. I do not have any diagnosed feet conditions but it's VERY hard to find a walking shoe these days that doesn't leave my feet with pins and needles and super achy. I just got these today. Was so excited to try them on. They are very nice looking though! I do not doubt their longevity but they IMMEDIATELY made my feet ache. If you have bony feet with not much padding, I'd steer clear of these. Not enough cushion. I'm giving it 2 stars for how nice the look and feel. Sizing was spot on as well.

Love the outrageous and colorful pride design. I usually wear a 7.5W or 8M but the footbed was too narrow for my foot and too long. Will have to return.

Unfortunately, I find these sneakers to be extremely uncomfortable. I was hoping it would require some breaking in and then they would be fine, but that has not been the case. They continue to leave the top of my feet aching whether I'm walking in them, or sitting down.

Lightweight but not comfortable. Not enough cushion.

Ordered my normal size, but this shoe was very narrow...I couldn't get my foot into it.
