Live large with the luxurious ride of the Trance 12. This shoe has a taste for the finer technologies in life, like an incredibly articulated Caterpillar Crash Pad that segments the midsole for a perfectly smooth heel-to-toe transition. We moved the heel counter to the outside of the shoe for even more interior comfort, plus built-in bootie-like design for a silky feel. This shoe is so plush that, pretty soon, it will be on an episode of MTv® Cribs.

    I have been running consistently for 3 years now and have tried various shoes and the Trance 12 has been the best so far, great feel, super sturdy and supportive and at a good price point for what I needed. I will be running my first half marathon in Feb 2013 and I am looking forward to how they will feel for that distance in colder weather.

        After over 500 miles in the GTS12, I decided to try the Trance with a similar. I really like the Trance toe box as I have had problems with other shoes. The Trance is well cushioned without being heavy and provides pronation control I did experience with the GTS12. There are only 30 miles on the Trance shoes, but they seem to be holding up well. I also like the styling of the Trance better.

          Great shoe. I put in a lot of miles and go through lots of shoes. Even though the Trance 11 model was my shoe of choice last year, I was not a fan of it. Specifically the tongue of the shoe, it was always too short. They fixed the tongue issue in this years model and made the who,e shoe feel more supportive, light and fast at the same time

          Great shoe and would definitely recommend!!

          This shoe is totally sweet for distance training and high mileage! It's a tad on the heavy side, but really not bad considering how cushioned and stable it feels. I've had a few pairs of the Trance over the years, and I can definitely say that this is one of the better models I've run in. The fit if the upper feels much sleeker than previous models. All-in-all, I probably wouldn't use this shoe as a racer (not that you couldn't) but they are awesome for keeping your legs and joints from getting beat up on longer endurance runs. They dark gray and vibrant green/yellow is cool too!

                Been dealing with a nagging glute injury that only showed up on runs. Could ride a bike for an eternity with no problems. Longest run in months was 4 painful miles. Today was my first run outside( cold in NC lately ) with these, and ran 6 miles today pain free. I had run in the Adrenaline 12's, but love the extra cushion these provide.

                  I loved the Trance 9 and had four pairs. I skipped Trance 10 as it ran too big in Mens size 8, but bought two pairs of Trance 11 but lacing and small slippage with foot orthotics was an annoying issue. The Trance 12 fits perfectly and is best one yet.
