Women's Trance 10

Comments about Trance 10:

I really liked these shoes for the most part, and if they work for you, they're amazing. Extremely comfortable, supportive. Here's the problem: for whatever reason, it caused heel pain on my left foot. I took a week of rest, thinking I had plantar fasciitis. Next times I ran, I varied among two shoes from two separate brands, with no heel pain whatsoever (although neither shoe was as comfortable on my feet as the Trance).

Since I ran a 4-mile race in other shoes yesterday with no heel pain, I figured I'd run in the Trance this morning. I only went 3/4 of a mile because the same heel pain in the left foot I had experienced before reared its head again. It's definitely the shoes. Brooks used to be my go-to brand, but a change in their shoes has started to affect my heel, and I'm loath to play around to see if any other shoes in the brand are better. It's a shame.

I am tough on shoes so I went through my first pair pretty quickly. Love these too much to be without a pair, so I bought another. High arches cause me to always have inserts in my shoes....but the Trance 10 is so comfortable - you'll forget you're wearing shoes!

Ordered this and shipped to my home. Put first shoe on and went to straighten the tongue and it broke. Only few strands of threat was holding it in place at the front. Disappointed in the amount of money I paid and this happened. But needed something to wear and wore it with shoe strings holding tongue in place. Shoes are comfortable for all the walking that I did.

Have worn this shoe for well over a year while training for half and full marathon. I seem to replace them every 6 months or so. At the [$] price right now, was a no brainer to order another pair.

I am not a real "athlete" but am training for a 3-day 60-mile walk in September. 10 years ago I also did one, and wore Adrenaline GTS, and have been ever since for my casual athletic shoe, last wearing the Adrenline GTS 8. The Trance 10 takes the comfort level up a notch. I have worn the Trance for a couple of training walks and so far it feels like I am walking on clouds, very comfortable. Thanks Brooks!

I am a casual runner who likes to run around three miles a day, 5 days a week. I also run half marathons and shorter races for fun. This is my first pair of Brooks. I bought them hoping the pronation control would help my knee pain by supporting my foot the right way. Also, I really really wanted a shoe that didn't bother my black toe nails. I know you can't always prevent getting black toe nails, but now that I have them, I want a shoe that doesn't keep bothering them when I run. I had tried running in various pairs of old shoes and they all irritated my dead nails, but my Brooks feel great! It's such a relief. Maybe because the toe box is wider? Also, for my particular feet, the arch support and cushioning seem good. I am 5'6", 110 lbs. Normally size 8, bought 8.5 and they fit great, enough room in toe but not too much.

Make it in black, make it a bit less stiff, and fix the part that presses on my toe

I bought these after I wore out my Brooks Ghost 3's. The Ghost 4 felt a little off when I tried them on and did a little jog around the store. I took a jog around the store in the Trance 10's and thought they felt pretty good. I took them on a 2.5 mile road run and had some heel discomfort. I took them on a cross-country course 5k through grass/woods and I had horrible heel pain, pain in my inner ankle and achiness in my knees. I have had some knee achiness before so that wasn't too odd, but the heel and ankle pain was a first and it hung around until the next day.

I wanted to give them another try to see if there was maybe a break-in period, but I couldn't bring myself for another run, so I brought them back to the store during the exchange period.

I still have faith in Brooks, but this was so not the running shoe for me!

I've run 2 half marathons in the Trance 9s, and have loved them. Was super dissapointed to find out that I couldn't get another pair, but decided to try the Trance 10s. Really not a great fit for me, I have no arches in my feet and have found the Trance 9s to be supportive - the Trance 10s made my feet numb.

I am a 3 to 4 times per week runner ... Road & Trail ... 3 to 8 miles per run. Feet feel comfortable, controlled and light. Perfect fit!
