These are amazing shoes inside and out! I tried many other brands and shoes within this brand. Brooks Transcend 3 out performs them all! Make sure you get 1/2 size larger, so your feet can feel right at home inside. I have had some surgeries on my feet, and I am an overpronater. This shoe takes care of that problem, as well as good heel support, and lots of toe room. You will not be disappointed! A winning shoe, well worth the price!

I usually have to buy a wide shoe to accommodate a bunion, but this shoe is perfect. It is so comfortable and worth every penny. They are a little heavier of a shoe, but it hasn't bothered me at all. Seriously considering buying a second pair.

I love Brooks and this shoe is no exception. I ordered a 9.5B. It has great room in the toe box, cushioning is excellent. I have PF and low arches and this shoe feels so comfortable and supportive.

I am very disappointed in this shoe. I've worn Brooks for the last three years and loved the cushioning & arch support. The quality isn't there and the price is higher.

Well, I miss transcend 2! Transcend 3 is almost as good except for one little annoying thing. It makes a noise when I am walking. Almost like it the noise you get when you step in water and your shoe goes squish, squish, only this is more of a creaky sound(hard to describe). I thought if I broke them in the noise would go away. But, no-still making that noise. They feel good, but the noise is really noticable! Can't sneak up on anybody! I really can't buy these again, which is too bad because they are really a comfortable shoe in every other way.

I ran in the Transcend 2 and loved it! I was looking forward to the newer version. Incredibly disappointed. The supportive overlays have been removed from the toebox in conjunction with the toebox itself to feel like it has been raised. When standing in the shoe my toes are lifted off the floor. Add a redesigned footbed and I have rubbing on the tops of my toes and an odd pressure point under my toes. The shoe does not feel supportive or cushioned at all. It's uncomfortable to even walk my pugs! I cannot recommend this shoe.

I loved these shoes from the first moment I put them on, so very comfortable and good arch support. I experience heel pain and it lessened when I put these on and felt the support in the heel as well. Previously wore the Hoka brand but these felt more flexible.

These are great shoes. They fit well and I have plenty of wiggle room for my toes when I'm working out. Plus I think they look cool.

I LOVE THESE SNEAKERS! I want to order another pair. I suffer from plantar fasciaitis. My custom orthodics fit great and they have so much cushioning! I have run in these and my regular gym workout, I go for walks, all around a great shoe with excellent heel cushioning! My new favorite! Keep making more brooks!

These are the greatest running shoes ever. I am a long time runner, and someone turned me on to these Brooks shoes a few years ago. The Transcend 3 provides lots of cushioning and stability. LOVE these. And they were priced right, well under retail, when I bought them.

Based on other reviews, I ordered the next size up. I checked on the Brooks website to see if these shoes would be good for my foot based on their questionnaire. They were and I ordered them. As always, Zappos does a great job on delivery. These shoes are very comfortable. My first time to order this style though I've been an avid Brooks wearer for many years. Love the bright color of this shoe and receive lots of compliments. I'll buy this style again.

I love Brooks running shoes. I have tried other running shoe brands but always return to Brooks. I have always worn the Glycerin style but decided based on other reviews to give the transcend 3 a try. I am sure glad I did this shoe has become my new favorite. Fits true to size and has excellent support. Very pleased with my purchase.

I love Brooks and have been a long time wearer and fan. Used to wear the Cascadia, but after they changed the design a few years back I started trying some other models. The Transcend 3 is as close as I've come to the wide toe box and arch support and non-clunky styling. I walk every day for a couple of miles and Brooks hold up for a least a couple of years. I like some of the brighter colors, but I'm glad to see they're offering a few earth tones with the brights to tone things down a bit. The colors for both the grey with aqua and the pink are as pictured.

Overall, a great shoe. My right foot is comfortable, well-cushioned, and doesn't slip at all in the heel. My left foot, however, can only tolerate the shoe for about three hours before my peroneal tendons start screaming (I had reconstructive ankle surgery a little over a year ago, and my peroneal tendons had to be repaired). If you require serious cushioning on the outside of your foot, these may not be for you. I'm still playing with insoles to see if that will help.

Theses shoes are well worth the $$ if you're a serious runner or just wanted the best motion control-stability shoe on the market! These really last for st least 100 more miles than other shoes in a he same category!

I am not a runner but have chronic foot pain. I am extremely happy with these shoes. They have a lot of cushioning and spring, so much that I don't have to wear orthotic insoles. I am usually a size 10, but ordered at 10.5 based on the other reviews and they fit perfectly.

I love this shoe, even better than the Transcend 2. Brooks has upgraded the lace as well as the eyelets. Shoe is super comfortable! I always order up a full size in running/walking shoes and I did the same here.

These shoes are so comfortable! I've never spent so much on tennis shoes before, but I have joint and back pain and needed more cushion and support. I found them in this shoe. My back, knees, and feet don't ache after walking the dog a few miles. Love 'em!

These shoes are fantastic. I recently had bunion surgery and need a wide toe box. I ordered these in 9 M and they are a perfect fit. The are the most comfortable athletic shoes I own. I have many pairs of Brooks and Asics, but these are the best yet. Easily accommodate an orthotic.

These shoes are the best! Lots of support and cushioning too. They are really good for my flat feet and I like the wider footbed.They also correct my inward pronation like no other shoe I have had before.
