4.0 out of 5 stars Brooks Trance Series, September 5, 2009

Like all running shoes, reviews are 90% subjective. So just because this shoe works well for me does not mean it will work well for you.

If you are new to running, running shoes work like this: Try on a bunch, run on the ones that feel good and do not contribute to any aches or pains, and then stick with that model. These were the shoes that work for me. I have about 1200+ miles logged into 3 pairs of these series 8 shoes. And that is the reason I am not giving these 5 stars - you should get close to 500 miles a pair. I tend to get around 300 on these till they start to lose cushion and start hurting my knees. Which is actually not bad for someone 190lbs, 6'2", mild pronation, and 5 day a week runner who does not rotate shoes.

Nice shoes, comfortable, biodegradable (nice!), being an older series replaced by the 9's (which are awesome, just not worth $50 more then these), and a decent buy at the "Today's deals" Amazon price.

One tip if you are new- buy a size larger then you think you are with ALL running shoes. I'm an 11 regular and I buy 12 regulars. Feet swell when you run and it's important that your toes do not rub/slam into the front of your shoes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the Saucony Hurricane X, January 30, 2010

These are lighter than the Saucony Hurricane and perform very well for moderate stability running shoes. They dry out quickly and are a good value for the money. That was a lot of random comments, but overall, I really like them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Partial to the adrenaline, November 29, 2009

These shoes are very good. I generally like Brooks. I am more partial to the brooks adrenaline, but I think that is more of a personal preference/fit. These seem to have a very generous sized width, a plus for a lot of people.
