I'm recovering from foot surgery and needed a good pair of shoes to help with walking. The cushion in these shoes is great with support for my arch. I can take the insole out and put my arches in but right now I'm liking the cushion in this shoe. The color and style is great. I did have to order a half size up to get the room I needed.

Lightweight, good amount of cushion yet I can still feel the road. I run about 4 miles a week, not much, but I love these shoes. I’ve had for 4-5 wks now.

Very comfortable for high/low medium impact workouts. Brooks always delivers on style and fit.

I love Brooks shoes. I will never own another athletic shoe from any other brand ever again. No more plantar fasciitis, no more blisters, no more foot pain overall. It's true what the nurses, doctors, and runners say. These shoes are the most durable shoe u will ever own.

Love the style and color. Fits just like the other different styles of Brooks shoes. A bit bouncy though.

Very cushioned and comfy- very similar to Ghosts and Glycerins. The Trace seems to run bigger than Brooks usually do. I have always been a 9 in athletic shoes, but sometimes those feel short in the Adrenaline and Glycerin. The 9 in the Trace seemed like a normal 9.

I was looking for light running shoes, and based on other recommendations, found these. They’re exactly what I wanted. They’re super light and super comfortable but are still supportive.

This was too small. I fit a 9 and always order Brooks..The looks and feel of the sneaker seems good but its too tight to put on with socks so I can not wear them to tell overall comfort walking in them... I will send back. I am not sure to order a 10 or 9.5.

Ran a little on the large size and not as much arch support, but I really liked the look and color of the shoe.

I love Brooks tennis shoes. Have many. I bought the brooks Trace more for the color than walking distances. I prefer
Brooks Adrenaline for Real walking.

These are pretty comfortable but do rub the backs of my ankles. They are not the most supportive running shoes I’ve had but they’re decent for the price and I mostly use them for walking (3-4 miles). Overall a quality shoe and I am happy with the purchase.

I'm new to Brooks and not a long distance runner. I was surprised that these shoes felt stiff and not cushiony like other Brooks I've tried.

It hurt the back of my heel when I walk. I guess I just need to break them in or get a bigger size.

I want to love these but it’s just not happening. They are super light which is great but I’ve realized after running in them for a month that they are just not the right shoe for me. They are super narrow in the toe box which has been causing a lot of discomfort in my toes. I have tried multiple styles of socks trying to combat the problem but it hasn’t happened. These might be good for something with slender/narrow feet… Really hoping the Ghost 14 comes out soon and is comparable to the Ghost 12!!

I really liked the comfort and feel of these shoes, but I have only had them a few weeks and the heel sole is peeling off. I would expect a shoe at this price point to hold together a bit better.

I did like the style of the shoes, but these were super tight. I could barely get them on. I'm not sure even sizing up would help much, they seemed narrow also.

The fit is fine but my feet were sore after my run. I switch my shoes and only wear these every other day for my 4-5 mile walk/run. I have had my other shoes for less than 6 months so I know it is not them causing my issue.

Ok, everyone told me brooks were the shoes to have. They were comfortable but I’m not sure if it was a truly comfortable shoe or if I was just used to older shoes on my feet. They seemed to wear out fairly quickly. I work in the hospital so I walk a lot. These didn’t pass my test for the amount I paid

Have to say this shoe should be 40$ at most, it is made so cheaply and offers zero support if you are used to Brooks usual well made shoes. I am truly upset how many brands I have bought for years have sent cheaply made knockoffs this whole past year. Do not buy these if you want more support than house slippers.
