Running shoe built for the moderate over-pronator who requires a combination of cushioning and enhanced stability. ; As if sophisticated, clean and cushioned were not enough, slip into a zone with this runner re-tooled to be environmentally friendly#8230; ; Mesh production fused with synthetic overlay materials allows for a lightweight and breathable upper. ; Moisture-Managing upper is constructed with Element technology which protects you from weather conditions via its superior microfiber construction while offering a lightweight and breathable feel that is both comfortable and durable. ; Custom fit sockliner with OrthoLite for cushioning and durability. ; Sprung toe construction enhances fit and function. ; HydroFlow technology enhances midsole cushioning and shock absorption with the added placement of dynamic gooey fluid units in the heel and forefoot. ; Chemically engineered to biodegrade without the use of oxygen (landfill conditions), full-length innovative BioMoGo is not only an eco-friendly midsole compound, but it continues to provide a soft yet stable cushy feel that offers increased cushioning and energy return. ; Full-length durable S-257 Cushsole offers a flexible cushioned ride while saving you energy. ; Progressive Diagonal Rollbar (PDRB) presents a dual density post at the medial arch allowing for progressive pronation control. ; DRB Accel is a shank-like thermoplastic device that enhances tunable torsion of the midfoot while providing added support. ; e-2 midsole/outsole compound is strategically placed in the forefoot of the midsole, beneath the metatarsals, to provide a more explosive toe-off. ; e-1 midsole/outsole compound is strategically placed in the rear of the midsole to further dampen contact phase impact forces. ; Engineered Stable Pod Configuration enables the midsole and outsole to set the foot up in an efficient and balanced position offering maximum stability and responsiveness from heel strike through toe-off. ; Blown rubber forefoot allows for durable wear. ; Longer-lasting HPR Plus outsole that features a highly durable and abrasion-resistant rubber. ; 13.00 oz. ; Product measurements were taken using size 12. Please note that measurements may vary by size.

Great running shoe!

"I love this shoe!! I bought it a half size bigger as recommended and they fit perfectly. I have narrow feet with a very high arch and these are very comfortable. I switched from Mizuno Wave Alchemys, which I liked, but there is no comparison to these. I run 25 - 30 miles a week, and I haven't experienced this kind of support and cusioning ever. I chose these shoes based on a few hours of reading other runner..." Read Full Review »

Not up to Typical Brooks Standards

"Have owned several pair of Brooks. I think they took the biodegradable feature to the extreme on this. I have less than 80 miles on the shoe and holes are already forming where the big toe is on both shoes at the top of the toe box. They took off the toe guard that was on the Trance 7's. Shoes also have little cushioning compared to others. Ran a marathon in these and had very sore feet, never experienced t..." Read Full Review »

"I have bad knees, high arches, and my heels are very narrow. Purchasing shoes without even trying them on has never before happened. I took the chance thinking I could send them back, and am so glad I did. I have no more pain in knees or feet as these shoes really hold my feet in perfect position. …"  Read Full Review »
