Great Comfort and Performance
4 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoe offers a comfortable and breathable fit that keeps your feet cool, even on long runs. However, the downside to its breathability is that it would not be great for cold, winter temperatures. It is true to size and hugs the foot without feeling restrictive. The design is sleek and attractive, and the cushioning in the heel and forefoot provides effective shock absorption, striking the balance between support and responsiveness. One of the standout features is that it encourages a forefoot running form - great for runners looking to improve efficiency and reduce impact. Whether you're training for a race or just logging daily miles, this shoe offers the comfort and performance you need.

The vibe is right

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First things first, these shoes are comfortable and well-cushioned. The balance in softness and responsiveness is amazing and has been ideal for my daily runs and casual wear. The breathability from the air mesh upper provides a cooling sensation, which I enjoyed. I appreciate the sleek and versatile appearance, which makes it suitable for both workouts and daily wear. Overall, the fit, durability, and light weight structure of the shoes have made them a solid choice for my runs which I have enjoyed. I honestly have no complaints and plan on keeping them in my rotation for a very long time!

Brooks sneakers
4 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When reviewing the Brooks sneakers, my husband found that the fit and feel are quite comfortable, making them suitable for various activities, including running and casual wear. The design has a modern aesthetic and high-quality fabric, which contributes to breathability and durability. His favorite part of the sneakers is the cushioning, which provides excellent support during physical activities. However, he would have liked them to have a wider toe box for his broader feet. He is very satisfied with the sneakers and wears them on his regular runs.

Trace 4-great running shoes!
4 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my new Trace 4 sneakers. I have been using these shoes during my pregnancy (mostly for walking) and now I use them for running (mostly on the treadmill) and absolutely love how comfortable they are. They run a little large (i am usually size 9 now and they feel just a bit roomy for me though I prefer them this way so I can wear then with a thicker socks) and shoes' material seems to be very durable. No blisters or any other issues from wearing these shoes. Overall, great shoes for working out and daily casual wear. Highly recommend!

Perfection
4 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son (12) runs cross country and is training in the off season. He has grown 5 inches this year (!) and these Trace 4 Brooks shoes fit him perfectly! He has a very “normal” foot shape, not wide, not narrow, normal arch, and runs with an even stride. The cushion and response is just right. He has mentioned several times how he doesn’t have to think about his feet while he runs! He can think about breathing or relaxing his shoulders, leaning forward, etc. Truly, these shoes are perfect for him! He’s not a fan of super bright, multi colored shoes, which seem to be popular in the running world. The clean black with bright blue looks great. The fabric seems durable with a few weeks use, but it’s hard to say how it will hold up. Given the rate he is growing, he may not fit them long enough to wear them out!

Trace 4's exceeded expectations!
4 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this product for my partner and he couldn't be happier. The Trace 4 exceeded expectations - the sizing is spot on and offers ideal arch support. With the thicker cushion, they are perfect for long distance walks in which we take daily. We have just concluded an international trip where walking 20,000 steps a day was the norm. These were the go to shoe! They are durable and have a fun design that you don't see too often. The perfect shoe.

My new go to shoe for training
4 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Trace 4 shoes have proven to be incredibly comfortable for both everyday wear and intense training sessions. Whether I’m running on the road or the treadmill, they provide excellent cushioning, significantly reducing the pressure on my feet with every stride. The shoes are impressively lightweight, making them feel almost weightless and never heavy or cumbersome, even after long runs. What really stands out, though, is the stylish design – they look great and can easily transition from workout gear to casual wear. Overall, the Trace 4s are a perfect balance of performance, comfort, and style."

Lightweight + support
4 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a short distance runner in a hilly neighborhood, I found these shoes to be light, comfortable, and breathable. The level of support was just right, not too bulky and not at all heavy. I like the design of the shoe—the fade of blue on the sole was a nice touch. The shoelaces are a bit slippery but double knots do the trick. Overall, highly recommend.

Great running shoe
4 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Though I've been running for years, I have never owned a pair of Brooks until now, and they have exceeded my expectations! They fit true-to-size and did not require any break-in period. Recently, I've struggled with plantar fasciitis, but the support provided by these shoes relieved the pain and assisted with my recovery while still allowing me to train regularly. The fabric of the shoes provides adequate cushion and support without adding excessive weight. In addition to functionality, these are a good looking pair of shoes. I feel just as confident training in them as I do wearing them out to dinner. I'm looking forward to getting some serious mileage from these shoes, and I'll definitely look to Brooks again for future pair!
