Customer Reviews

Best for long distance flat-footed runner
I love the Trance 8 - am on my third pair and just ordered 6 more! Brooks put a slight arch support into Trance 9 and it doesn't hit my foot right - very uncomfortable. I'm so thankful that Trance 8 seems to have been re-issued. I've now stocked up. Great motion control and just the right amount of cushioning. I was born with flat feet, and this shoe is absolutely the most comfortable running shoe I've tried. I get about 450 to 500 miles out of each pair.

Brooks Women's Trance 8 Running Shoe
These shoes are excellent for distance running, but they do not last. They are supposed to be good for 350 - 500 miles, but my daughter has found that they split on the sides after about 200 miles.

We contacted Brooks about the problem, but they declined to do anything about it to make it right.

This has happened with two pairs of these shoes.

Solution to a Problem
More years ago than I care admit I had a "slip and fall" accident that ripped the ligaments in my right foot. Ever since then I've limped along, with just relief for a few weeks at a time with the purchase of a new pair of athletic shoes. I've tried all brands and styles but once I had worn them for 2-3 weeks the side support disappeared and I'd need to buy a new pair. When these showed up in the Gold Box my husband suggested that I try the Brooks brand, as he had worn them in the past and felt they were good quality.
It's been nearly 2 months since these arrived and I've worn them every day. Today they're providing a comfortable walk and just as much support as when they were new. I know they won't last forever but I'm watching for another sale and when I find a good price I'll be stocking up!
