Men's Brooks Trance 7

Comments about Mens Brooks Trance 7 Running Shoe:

Have 2 pair, very durable and good looking shoe. Ran marathon and several half marathons in these with no soreness or problems. This shoe, in my experience, is better cushioned than the Trance 8, and better for longer runs. I like the tighter fitting toebox with Brooks, not a lot of excess movement which causes blisters. I hope Brooks continues to make shoes like this

Im in cross country on a high school team we run the 5k in the races. Each week we put about 46 miles in a week not including our runs that we do on our own. In total I have about 546 miles on these shoes they break down amazingly well. The best shoes Ive ever ran in. Will DEFINATELY buy again.

I'ts been 10 years since my last pair of Brooks and the Trance 7 didn't disappoint. I cannot believe how comfortable they are. I'm on my feet for 8+ hours a day and usually head home with sore and tired feet, but not anymore. They have great support and cushioning. The other reviews I've read on here about no room in the toe box, that is why you get a half size bigger, I have no such issue with the Trance 7, they are just great.

Comments about Mens Brooks Trance 7 Running Shoe:

other than small toe box, lack of cushioning, restrited stiffy frame(especially at the toes, and the top of the shoe), this shoe is not that bad. The cushioning goes away at about2miles, 3 miles in summer. I used them on treadmills, and they are good. overall 3 stars.
I am going to try the trance 8,they look less stiff.

Comments about Mens Brooks Trance 7 Running Shoe:

Love the shoe. I'm about 165 lbs. with very mild pronation. Had mild nerve pains left over from last shoe, but worked them out with the Trance 7 over a couple of weeks. I needed about 50 miles to break these in. Have over 150 on them now and they're great. Just bought the next pair. Won't be for everyone, has stabilty, but slightly lower profile means I feel the road.

Comments about Mens Brooks Trance 7 Running Shoe:

I bought all of them, and the Brooks Trance 7's with a high arch insole (OdorEater plus gel) makes these far superior (lighter, cooler, running comfort) than the Kayano or Nimbus. These are wierd out of the box, feel like they are curled, and feel high on the inner heel, and the toe stripe), but all this settles down after a few days. These could be the next "chariot"...don't change them!! Greatest shoe ever...period..

I've been running in Brooks Adrenaline and love them. Right now I'm wondering why I decided to try something new. The shoe just doesn't fit. I feel like I should have ordered a 1/2 size bigger, even though they're the same size as my other Brooks. I'm returning them for another pair of Adrenalines.

Comments about Mens Brooks Trance 7 Running Shoe:

Best shoe for me. Have run 2 half marathons, 1 full marathon in these. No foot pain at all, excellent long distance training shoe. Get fitted if you havent. Stability shoe is what this is. Great looking shoe, wish they had more colors

Comments about Mens Brooks Trance 7 Running Shoe:

These are by far the best shoes I have ran in. I used to get shin splints and experience a high amount of pain in my knees after my long runs, however running in these shoes lessons my aches and pains. I will by them again if no new version is out when they are worn out.

Comments about Mens Brooks Trance 7 Running Shoe:

This shoe is too heavy to run in. Lack of cushioning. Poor support. The adreinline 7 is better than this.

Comments about Mens Brooks Trance 7 Running Shoe:

I am not sure why this is a stability+. I am 195 lbs. and my legs feet hurt everytime I ran in them. Does not feel as cushioned as the Adrenaline. Save your money and go with the Adrenaline.

Comments about Mens Brooks Trance 7 Running Shoe:

Terrible shoe..first off its a stability but feels really flat and non secure to foot. Had all kinds of pains after running in these..foot pain, calf cramps, ankles, even my toes were sore. Something isnt right with this shoe

Comments about Mens Brooks Trance 7 Running Shoe:

I am a heavy runner (195 lbs.) and a heavy heel striker. The cushioning is awesome, they have a very unique way of dispersing energy. I have been running in the Adrenalines and usually get about 300 miles out of a pair so I hope the Trance is in that neighborhood. Word of caution!! These felt really weird out of the box but after running in them I was sold.

Comments about Mens Brooks Trance 7 Running Shoe:

I've run in dozens of models from as 4-5 manufacturers. I pretty much settled on the Asics gel MC plus which Roadrunner still has as a classic. They hold up well, no injuries, good stability and I've probably gone through 15 pair over the years. Occasionally I try something new but they don't hold up and usually, with more cushioning, I get shin splints.
I have to say that the Brooks Trance 7 are the best shoes I've ever run in. They are really fantastic, cushioning, stability and fit. I never thought I'd be able to get the cushioning and stability without injury. With 75 miles I'm really impressed. Hate to see them discontinued.

Comments about Mens Brooks Trance 7 Running Shoe:

If you liked the GTS , but need a little more cushion, this may be the shoe for you.
If you liked/needed the cushion in the Trance 6 like I did, you will hate this shoe.

Comments about Mens Brooks Trance 7 Running Shoe:

This shoe is terrible the way the front of the shoe is designed with the silver edging coming down from the laces. I tried this shoe several times and it made my big toes bleed every time at the bottom of the nail due to the edging.

Comments about Mens Brooks Trance 7 Running Shoe:

great cushion good support and nice wide toe box for this clydsdale.

Comments about Mens Brooks Trance 7 Running Shoe:

As a fairly small and lightweight male runner at 5'8" and 138lb, this shoe performs very well for me. I'm a slight overpronator and was worried that the Trance would overcompensate with excessive pronation control. But I needed a cushioned stability shoe for marathon training, and found other shoes in the same category such as the Kayano XIII and Adidas Control 4 were totally overkill in terms of stability provided. The Trance feels a bit less stable and rigid, with a firmer type of cushioning similar in road feel to that of New Balance. It's not the pillow ASICS type of cushion so if you want soft, you may not be happy. But you can tell the cushioning is there as after 20 miler training runs, the legs feel fresh. I even raced a half marathon in the Trance when I left my racing shoes at home. I was able to keep up with my 21 year old son for half the race and finished close behind in what I feel is a decent 1:29:08. Gotta say I was pleased with that.

The best Brooks Trance ever. I have used Trance since 6 edition. The tongue does not slide. The shoes are very light, do not retain odor, excellent for trail or road running. They fit like a glove for your feet. Take that Robin!
