Finally I've found what I've been searching for to replace my Ghost 13's. These look the same and feel the same. I'm a big fan of the 'cushioning' feature and prefer this rounded toe box over the new elongated one that I've been seeing. I'd describe the color as 'periwinkle' rather than purple since the blue tone is prominent but I do like it. My only complaint is that the laces don't stay tied but that's minor and they can easily be switched out. My priority is always for comfort right out of the box and this delivers.

Shoes look great, but I found them to be very thight( ordered wide D), also finish inside at the talus is rough and robs against dorsal area of the foot.

I wish Brooks would keep the Ghost 13 ?I was disappointed with the Ghost 14, so tried the Trace 2 and it is close to the Ghost 13. I run in these approximately 10 miles a week and am happy I gave them a try! And they are cheaper than Ghost :)

Seem true to size. I usually wear 8 but sized up a 1/2 size due to swelling in my feet. I’m not a runner but swear by Brooks for walking and comfort. They never disappoint and the quality is superior to most other running shoes. I’ll never understand the hype over Hoka, which is a glorified flimsy marshmallow kind of shoe. To me they’re overpriced and have a weird fit. I tried them and they’re not for me. I’ll stick with Brooks - reliable, stylish and always well made with good support.

I'm super disappointed with these. I've always had good luck with Brooks for running shoes but these have no spring or cushion. I wish I hadn't taken them on a run to give them a shot. Now I'm stuck with them.

I usually wear the Brooks Ghost but liked the color combo on these. So I ordered and LOVE them! I’m on my feet all day at work and these are so comfortable! Definitely recommend!

12 years as a nurse and I've never had better shoes! I have constant knee and hip pain, I've been wearing this shoes for about a week and it's nearly non existent. The design is adorable and the comfort is perfection! I receive a ton of compliments.. I also feel a "spring in my step".. I'm a 7.5-8 and I went with an 8 and they perfect.

These are so fabulous! My first Brooks. I'm not a runner and I don't usually have "technical" sneakers, so these have turned out to be a real treat! I love the way they grip the road as I walk, and how firmly supportive they are around the heel and ankle. I feel powerful as I walk and my legs feel great- like I could keep going forever. These shoes give me more energy! The Lisa Congdon design is head-turning. It makes me happy, and I get compliments nearly every time I go out. No cons, only pros. Great sneakers!

This is my 2nd pair of Brooks Trace, and I just love them. They fit so well and have the perfect amount of cushion and support for my feet. We are a family of First Responders, so these Fire Dept. Special Editions are extra special! I am not a runner but walk a ton and suffer with mild Plantar Fasciitis in just my left foot. I am able to wear these all day, be comfortable and basically pain free.

I should start by saying that I'm not a runner. I wear these sneakers while I workout, which includes heavy cardio days. I also wear them at work as a nurse. I love them! They are so comfortable I forget that I even have shoes on. They feel like I'm walking on clouds!

I purchased White/Peacoat/Poppy women's size 10. I absolutely love Brooks, this is my 4th pair, I have 1 pair Cascadia Trail Running shoes which are perfect when I take my dogs on a hike/run at the trail. These shoes fit true to size, very comfortable, good support and easy to clean.

These are one of my favorite pairs of running shoes. They're light and overall feel good when they're on. I initially got them for the color scheme however they quickly turned into a favorite running shoe

Cute, they fit well (true to size) but maybe a little too squishy for running. I think these will be walking shoes.

I was attracted to this shoe as I've always been happy with Brooks, and the colorful style caught my eye. Evocative of the art of Peter Max in the 1960s, this unique shoe will go with anything and is just fun. Because of an unusually roomy toe box, I needed to go down a half size, from a 12 to an 11.5. I have narrow feet but always get the B width due to (prescription) orthotics. Using a padded, adhesive tongue pad, the width works fine. Gave the size 12 to my daughter, who said they fit her fine, she wears a 12 B.

I love Brooks. My last 2 pair have been Brooks Ghost, which I loved. But I wanted a different style and these did not disappoint. Cute color, great cushion, very comfortable. The toe box was a little tight the first wear but after 2 days of wear they fit perfectly. I’ll keep these and Brooks Ghosts on my favorites list.

They are a great fit. If not available in wide width, I go up a half size and they fit great.
