I absolutely love these Trace 4 shoes by Brooks. I work out very regularly (5-6x a week) and do a mix of walking, running, dancing, and strength training. Since I exercise so frequently, and since I also have joint issues, finding a high-quality pair of running shoes is key to my routine. These shoes have been absolutely amazing. They're so comfortable, and they fit me very well. I ordered a size 8 US, as I am usually a 7.5-8, and these fit perfectly, although it took a few days to completely break them in. They feel very lightweight regardless of the type of exercise I'm doing, and the cushioning makes them extremely comfortable. I definitely notice a difference on the days when I'm especially active and doing a lot of steps; these shoes keep my feet from getting too achy or tired. Additionally, as someone with some joint issues, I've noticed that these shoes offer enough stability and padding that I feel comfortable and don't have to worry about pain as much. In general, they just make running feel a bit easier, especially on my heels and shins. In addition to being high-quality, these shoes are super cute. I absolutely love the blue and white pattern. They look vibrant in person, and they offer a nice pop of color to my workout outfits at the gym. Overall, I'm a huge fan of these shoes, and they will continue to be a staple in my exercise routine! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for new running shoes, especially if they're looking for a more ergonomic design.

The Trace 4 is a very comfortable and stylist pair of running shoes. The fabric is light and breathable. Very stylist woven fabric in white with a hint of mint green accents. The shoe laces were easy to tie, kept the shoes tongue snug and in place. The laces stayed tied without having to double knot them. There is a very nice memory foam insole that not only supports the foot but has a lot of cushion on the heels. I was able to run long distances and my feet did not fatigue fast. They gripped the gravel and dirt terrains with ease. My only complaint and the only reason it is not a 5 star review is it feels like my foot slides to the front of the shoe while just walking around due to the slightly elevated heel. Other than that these are a great pair of running shoes.

I'm a true 6.5 and this shoe felt more tight than necessary with average athletic socks. I did not enjoy wearing them.

I wish I could say that this was great, but for some reason, in this shoe, my left foot is unsupported and it affects my knee and hip. As soon as I take off the shoes, my foot feels good. I'm bummed because I just wasted $100.

I’ve worn my Trace 2 sneakers for more than 3 years and they are the best pair of sneakers I’ve ever had. I love that I can use my own insoles and wear the shoes for hours on end. Unfortunately, they are very worn and need to be replaced. I recently bought the Trace 4 version and they are definitely not the same. Imagine my disappointment upon trying them on and being met with a new bump that hits the sides of the ankle with each step, which makes the shoes super uncomfortable. They’re also a bit snug for an 8. Why would Brooks change a great design? Alas, since I only wore them for 2 minutes, they are going back.

I am so unhappy with this shoe. I was trying to replace my Revel 4. I tried the Ghost and didn’t like it. These are the same. I kept them trying to convince myself I must be crazy and the shoe is great. The main problem is the cushion on the back at the Achilles heel. They added this ledge to it. It digs in and is so uncomfortable. I’ve worn them 3 times for an outdoor walk and can’t wait to get them off my feet when I get home. I’m so upset that I’m stuck with them now that I’ve worn them outside. They are so expensive. We are a whole family of Brooks lovers. I don’t understand why they change perfectly wonderful shoes.
