Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results


We say: The latest Trance is the first Brooks shoe to feature MoGo, the company's new midsole compound that's softer yet more durable than standard foam. Indeed, RW Shoe Lab tests confirmed that the updated Trance is softer than previous versions of the shoe. The outsole features new flex grooves that allow for a smoother transition from heel-strike to toe-off and an upper with improved support. Nearly an ounce heavier than its predecessor, the new Trance is recommended for bigger runners with flat to normal arches.

Wear Tester Reviews
Wear-testers say:

"The shoe had great stability, but felt heavy." --Lianna Hadden, 31, East Lansing

"A comfortable shoe, but it needs more cushioning in the forefoot." --Ed Schirra, 45, Allentown
