As a rookie, I started with a Nike shoe, which was quickly replaced by Saucony's Grids. They were ok across the arch, but poor support on the toe roll off, and barely adequate at the heel strike. Was recommended to buy Aasics, which felt ok in the store (high arches), but I literally limped my way running across the finish line in my next race after. Quickly researched further and decided on a Brooks shoe. The Trance 9 is like a miracle shoe to me. Corrects landing errors of underpronators like me, supports the WHOLE foot..arch, toe and heel, reduces muscle pain (including sciatic). GREAT for training and racing. Highly recommend. Can't wait to try the 10 in feb.

This was my second pair of Brooks, and I was really disappointed! I paid half this price for my Axioms, and they're still in great shape, but these fell apart in less than three months!! I wasn't training very hard at the time, either. I'll never spend so much on a pair of Brooks again...I'd be turned off completely if I didn't have a good experience with Brooks prior to this one.

    Comments about Trance 9:

    These are extremely comfortable!! Only had them a couple of weeks so I cannot comment on wear life. I run pretty much 7 days a week year round 3.5 miles a day on gravel roads all weather conditions. Been running for 20+ years and am not overweight 5'5" 120 lbs. Price is great for quality thus far. Now just see how long they last. Don't have any complaints so far.

      Comments about Trance 9:

      So, I've never thought I'd describe myself as an avid athlete but given the choices above, I use them daily training for a half marathon, and in training to be a regular runner. I LOVE my Trance 9's! This is my 4th pair, and am actually hoarding them for when my current ones wear out. The Trance 9's are "my shoe"...unfortunately they're running scarce so I'll have to check out the 11's next. =( Hope I love them as much.

      Comments about Trance 9:

      used to run due to injuries not running. Fast walking with large dog. Good shoes, but wear out fast for cost. Brooks doesn't make their shoes as well as they did a couple years ago. Don't like the new DNA in the Adrenaline or Trance.

        Comments about Trance 9:

        I have bunions, and for those of you who have them you know how difficult it could be to find a great running shoe that is comfortable and wide enough because of the bunions. Even though this shoe does not say it runs wide, it feels completely fine and is so lightweight and comfortable. I've tried Asics before but can only run a couple miles before my feet hurt. In the trance 9 I've completed many half and a full marathon without even thinking about my feet. Get them. They are great.

          Comments about Trance 9:

          My first pair or Brooks were Adrenalines, and after shin issues, I wanted to try something that was still supportive, but a different model, so I got the Trances. They immediately felt more roomy in the toebox compared to the Adrenalines. My toes had ample room to move around. I ran the Nike Women's 1/2 marathon in October in these and the downhills KILLED my toes. Even though they are good fit normally, they didn't do anything to protect my toes from the intense downhills and I ended up losing a toenail. Not sure if this would have been the same in any other shoe, but I'll continue to wear these as they have been great every other time.

            I love Trance- my first Brooks pair. I had 2 Asics Nimbus (which were expensive by the way) and they felt too small for my feet and they always gave me blisters after 4 miles of running. The rest of the run I had to endure the pain. then I switched to Brooks Trance when I found out they were on sale, with no idea how great they were but only from the reviews (Thanks to those who wrote them up.) I will stick with Trance as I feel sooo comfortable with them. It is like I am walking, and not even running!

            I use my broken in running shoes to walk the dog and my new ones to run about 6 miles a week on the treadmill. I love these shoes and will continue to buy this style because they have great cushion and are supportive. I wore Adrenaline's for years but I love these.
