    So uncomfortable

    Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

    Im a Trace fan, but these Trace 4's are so uncomfortable, and make my feet hurt everytime I put them on. Wish I would have bought another pair of Trace 3's.

    10/10 amazing shoes

    Trace 4, great

    Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these, my favorite so far. I've been wearing Brooks for years, but I think these are the best looking. As all Brooks, these are super comfortable with great support.

    Great fit and support!

    Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a big fan of the TRACE series from Brooks! These shoes have great arch support and “hug” my fit just write for a comfortable, supportive run! As odd as it may sound, I feel like the color scheme of the shoe affects the fit of the shoe, but I’m sure it’s just in my head! I highly recommend the TRACE series shoes!

    Comfortable and Light. Look great for casual wear too!

    Brooks ruined the Ghost with the Ghost 17 — luckily there's the Trace 4

    Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've run in the Brooks Ghost since its inception but the Ghost 17 has been redesigned and rendered too soft and unstable, not offering enough support and making my knees painful after a single run. I was told that The Trace 4 is most like the Ghost 16/15 in terms of cushioning support and stability, so desperate as I was, I tried it. The Trace 4 is not the Ghost 16. The upper fits looser and it just doesn't hug my foot the way the Ghost does, but I can run in it without my knees hurting. It seems to offer the firmer but still adequately cushioned support of the Ghost, prior to the new Ghost 17. Until the Ghost is redesigned and leaves the stacked over-cushion craze behind I'm in the Trace 4 or another brand of shoe.

    Awesome Light Shoe

    Do not pull on the tongue loop.

    Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

    The loop on the tongue tore off while pulling on the left shoe. If it is not meant to be used to assist with putting on the shoe, do not make it a loop. Otherwise, the shoe is good overall.

    Potential with a glaring issue

    Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes had potential—seemingly decent breathability, adequate tread depth, balanced midsole firmness/cushion, toe box fabric that wasn’t overly roomy, etc. However, the cut of the ankle made these impossible for me to use. The material that curved down from the last eyelet directly hit my exterior ankle bones. (And of lesser concern, the heel tab was made of ridiculously cheap felt.)

    Trace 4 for me

    Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

    The Brook Trace 4 are exactly what I need in a exercise shoe. Great fit, style and comfort. After the third day of wearing them my feet adjusted to the fit and I continued to step lively. Overall a great purchase for me.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, I am happy with my purchase after 2 weeks. I bought them because they have a harder rubber surface bottom than what I have bought in recent past purchases. Those wore the bottom surface smooth after a few weeks. I can tell already. These will last longer and feel good also.
