6' 2", 170 lbs, mild overpronator. This was recommended after returning the Mizuno Alchemy 9 to my local running store. Great cushioning and stability with a good upper. Would like slightly more toe wiggle room, but not an issue thus far. Lower profile shoe with a great transition. I still like the Ghost 2 that I tried, but I have fallen (not flat) arches. Little pricey though. Probably go back to Nike Structure Triax after these (less expensive and similar feel).

I wore out my third pair of Adrenaline 8's and thought I would see what a little extra $$$ would get me in the Trance 9. I'm 6'5" and 200 lbs and was looking for a stability shoe that would last a bit longer while providing the cushioning I was looking for. The Trace 9 did just that. I purchased a pair of Trance 9's a few weeks before the Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas 1/2 Marathon. They performed exceptionally well; no pains, no blisters, no problems. I'm hoping the shoe price will come down in price, but I would still buy them again. CONGRATS to BROOKS for becoming the main shoe sponsor for the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon and 1/2 Marathon series. Would be nice to see Road Runner Sports get involved. RRS has some great products for this type of event.

I went away from Brooks when they "upgraded" the Trance 6's. After some significant issues with NB 1223 then 1224, I bought these. They feel phenomenal, super comfy, and great for walking or running. I pit approximately 7-10 miles a day on them @ work, and I cannot say enough good things about them. You're probably wondering why I gave them a 4 not a 5 star rating. No wide widths available. If these were available in a wide, I'd definitely have given them a 5 star review.

Bought these as a replacement for my Trance 8's which I've worn through. Love the update and think it is a great shoe. Definitely much softer landing than the Trance 8, but still very supportive with great flexibility in the forefoot. Only thing I disliked is the high arches caused from the shoe liner. Even though I have fairly high arches, these were still too high and felt like they could cause blisters on longer runs. I switched out the shoe liner with the ones from my Trance 8's and I now have the perfect fit.

Great shoe. I bought these to train for a police academy physical agility exam. The ride is comfortable except after about a week I felt what seemed like a pit about the size of a dime, inside the sole of the shoe. I'm not sure if there's a gel pocket in the forefoot that went "flat", but that's perhaps about as close to accurate as I can describe it. Also, the tongue constantly rides to the side. It doesn't affect my performance, but it does get annoying. Otherwise, like I mentioned, it is a comfortable shoe with great support. I used to get shin splints on other brand shoes. However, I seem to be doing just fine with these. Others have complained of too much cushioning and too narrow in the forefoot. I am an average "D" width and I have to admit they were a little snug initially, but after awhile the shoe either somewhat conformed to my foot or I simply got accustomed to the feel. In terms of cushioning they feel great. It's not too soft nor too firm and I do a lot of concrete and as

I bought a pair of these after having success with Brooks Adrenaline GTS9's. Unfortunately the trances did not have enough room in the toe box. They were so narrow that I had numbness on most of my toes. The amount of cushionshing made the trances too stiff and unflexible. I think these shoes are better for a 200 lb + runner. If you are a smaller runner around 160, try the adrenalines instead...they feel softer, have a better fit along the arch, and allow your toes room.

feels like the vomero with too much cushioning. This shoe has lost its way.

I've been using the trance 7 for some time now and they are fantastic! I purchased the trance 9 and it was a completely different fit. Much narrower and unbearable to wear.

Great cushion and felt awesome out of the box. However the support didn't work out for me. I am 5'5" 145 lbs with slight overpronation. I think there was so much cushion the shoe broke down with each stride and my feet would roll over. After 4 runs, I returned them and went back to the Mizuno Wave Inspire.

Ran 14 miles right out of the box and they felt good. They have the perfect amount of stability support for me (6'4", 185 lbs. with moderate overpronation). I had one small blister which is to be expected with brand new shoes at that distance.

This is a great shoe, with a great fit. Well cushioned in the forefoot, midfoot, and heel; good stability. Lightweight, flexible, breathable. Looks great/great color scheme. This update is far superior to the previous version. One of the best running shoes I have ever had so far.

This was going to be my "go to" shoe after New Balance dropped the 1223. Not! The shoe looks great and the craftsmanship is excellent but unless you have a narrow women's "B" foot, then this shoe is not for you. Why can't the shoe companies standardize on a "D" width and then leave them alone!!! Are you listening Brooks??

Great ride, well cushioned, light weight, slight increase in midfoot stability. Only one density of foam post on the side rather than under the heel as in previous versions as well as the adrenaline, which feels much better being softer with less weight. The softer durometer of foam feels much better.
