For a deluxe ride from heel to toe, look no further than the Trance™ 11. Souped-up with the latest and greatest from Brooks, this shoe delivers total plushness in an incredibly tailored package. A full-length caterpillar crash pad with independent yet integrated segments provides an exceptionally smooth laydown and a foam constructed saddle conforms to the foot for a custom fit. We took the Trance and we turned it up to eleven.


Runner's World named the Trance 11 their Editor's Choice in the Spring Shoe Guide in their March 2012 issue. 26 out of 29 wear testers rated the Trance above average or better, including one who gushed "I felt as if I were running on clouds." Float on!

    I run about 60miles a week and I love these shoes they are amazing! I had the adrenaline 11 before these and these are like and upgraded version! The problem I had with the adrenaline was they didn't absorb the impact as much as I would of preferred and these totally take care of that (I'm kind of a stomper). I have used them on a variety of terrain already and they have worked as well as any shoe would. They feel like you are running on a cloud and they have awesome support there isn't a bad thing I can say about them. I'm in love!

    I need support....cush, and something to take me on my LONG runs. Great shoe, but very heavy. Having some aches and pains in my arches and lower leg. Used to run in Adrenalines and Defyance. Brooks shoe fit steered me towards these and Adrenalines recently so I thought I would try them out after watching a great review.

    I needed a comfortable shoe for work. I'm on my feet 10+ hours a day. These have great cushion and are very comfortable. If they came in more color options that would be even better! Black with purple or pink would be great!

      I recently had my gait cycle checked with a Brooks representative and he told me I needed shoes that offer support. I have noticed that in other shoes my arches always hurt. I recently got these shoes and it seems as if the problem is no longer there. They are excellent for working out at the gym and definitely give me all of the support I need for my pronation. DEFINITELY A GREAT BUY!

        From my first run in these shoes I knew I had found perfection. I am in training for my first 1/2 and first marathon and I have found the perfect shoe for both. The cushioning is awesome and the arch support took care of my mild pronation. Amazing how much better my feet feel!

          I love running in these shoes! From the moment I put them on I could feel the difference in the support and cushion. Only drawback I have is little pricey but otherwise amazing buy!!

                I am not a runner, but am on my feet all day for work, and I have aching knees. These shoes have helped A LOT in making me more comfortable during the day. I ordered them online based on the reviews, and could not be happier.
