These are fantastic shoes!!! Excellent fit for narrow feet. I wear the same size as in Brooks Ghost 15. Wore these shoes for the first time today and love them!!

I have 2 pairs of Trace 2 which are extremely comfortable for my SLIGHTLY wider foot. As I have said before, the recycled material uppers used by Brooks now have NO give and are extremely uncomfortable. Its a great idea to try to be more green when selecting materials but its not practical. This pair of Trace 3 will join my 2 pairs of Launch 9s which are truly unwearable.

These shoes are not the most popular for daily runs, but I LOVE them. Theyre comfortable, lightweight and respond to every surface very well. I especially like them for speed work as they seem to have that extra go-go juice. Ill forever be a Trace girl.

Not a fan of this shoe. They hurt my back and feet. If I would have kept the box I would s33nd them back.

I bought them as new shoes for wearing at the gym and they are amazing! They are not only super comfortable but they are also super supportive. I do a lot of different classes at my gym and they are great for everything I do. I would definitely buy them again and again!

Very comfortable! My feet feel cozy and well supported (my arches are super happy). These are my daily shoes, and they are the second pair of Trace 3's that I've purchased.

The toe box is short compared to Kuru and Hoku. The heel area fits well. The tab in the back that facilitates getting the shoe on is too small. The matrials seem to be low quality to me.

Bought this along with Ghost 15. Also very comfortable. Fits my narrow foot well. Haven't worn it while working out yet but wore it around the house to check it our and really liked it.

I hate the wide is only in white. Mine are so dirty. I can't clean them. I got them wet and they are dented in. However, I have had them more than 90 days. I wish you had more colors for wide. On postive side. I like them and will buy another pair to get dirty cuz I like the traces. I have noticed if you get any water on them the mesh on shoe is all weird. I still like these best so far.

Love the look of these sneakers. I usually wear Brooks Ghost 15 or 16 and thought I’d try the Trace 3, based on reviews. Unfortunately, I have to return them. They seem narrower than other Brooks styles, which puts pressure on my bunions, and the “cushion” insole doesn’t feels more like a board.

I love the look of these shoes. I’ve worn Brooks Ghost 15 and 16 but never the Trace 3. I find them narrower than the other Brooks styles, they press on my bunions, and in spite of the “cushion” insole, hard and uncomfortable to walk in. I have to return them.

All the Brooks shoes that I can find have a sole that is too soft for my needs. I have several older Brooks shoes, so when it was time to get another pair, I started with Brooks. Now I can't use any of them because of the soft sole, and have had to begin using another brand. This sucks.

I normally wear a medium width shoe but had to go to the wide to get the correct fit and comfortable toe box. I was disappointed that the wide width was only offered in one color, the white with black. I went ahead and bought them, even thought the white is not as practical as a dirt magnet. As with my last two pairs of Brooks (Ghost and Launch), the insole arch is awful and feels like it is folding/creasing under my arch and there seemed to be little arch support. I replaced the insoles with OTC orthotics, which was likely going to be needed anyway for better support for my arches and knee problem. The cushioning seems good. I am using these as my medical office sneaker and I do quick walks here and there intermittently around the office. They seem OK with my orthotics for that purpose. I have not tried them for more walking more than 5 minutes at a time/fitness walking and I am not running in them.

Not sure if I can keep these. I tried them on and I will return to them after I walked a few hours in my house I'm trying to break them in. Much too narrow in the toe box at this point. I love the looks of them but I'm afraid if I go up in size they will not support my ankles. Hard to say. They do not advertise as a rocker shoe but it sure propelled me forward. I don't know if I like that yet or not because I didn't wear them long enough to find out. Basically I like the looks of them but so far that's all.

This shoes is great for wearing at work but not great for walking long miles. It's cushioned and light but not very supportive. I will keep them for day to day shoes but not for workouts.

I've had these now for 6 months to break in and it's the fourth pair of Brooks that I own. These are still a bit uncomfortable on the top of my feet for some reason. Also, they squeak which is very uncomfortable particularly in the gym and group exercise classes. Not sure if I'll continue with this brand again in future. Disappointing after having good results for a couple years.

Not nearly as comfortable as my last pair of Traces. Extremely tight (even though I have to go up half a size for Brooks already) and having to actually break them in around the house before attempting to wear them a full day. I walk a lot at work and haven't been able to get them comfortable yet to wear. Not optimistic that these will be the shoes I want at Disney even though that's what I bought them for.
