Back to Results Brooks Trance 7 Manufacturer: Brooks Price: $135 Reviewed in: Sep 2007 Shoe Guide Runner's World Awards: Editor's Choice Shoe Type: Motion Control See Specifications Disclaimer Runner's World Awards: Editor's Choice We Say: Brooks improved the ride of this outstanding update by angling the forefoot slightly upward for a more natural feel at toe-off. It's also a half-ounce lighter. The plastic arch support of the Trance now lies below a layer of foam, which helps smooth out the feel underfoot. What's more, the outsole grooves under the heel have been repositioned to isolate and disperse impact forces more efficiently. We recommend it for runners with low to flat arches looking for a shoe with a smooth ride.
