The Perfect Shoe For Me!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The trace 4 is very comfortable, stable and has plenty of room in the toe box. So much, in fact that I didn't need a 2E width. I liked them so much I bought an extra pair in both black and Navy. The padding is great. I'm a fast walker, but not a runner, and they suit me perfectly. I also like that they came in a simple navy/white and black/white.

Great Shoe!
It didn't take long to decide! Just put them on. And they don't look like something from outer space!! Dicks always comes through.

Tight
Too tight in toe box and side. Uncomfortable to wear. Got pain in both feet after taking few steps.

Highly Recommend
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased for my 12-year-old son who runs cross country and mid to long distance in track. He absolutely loves them. Reports they feel more supportive and durable. Huge upgrade from competitor. He is already asking for the next size.

Next
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Way too small. Tried to wear them a couple different times and realized I was scrunching my toes all day. Feet were in so much pain.

First Time Buyer
This is the first pair of Brooks shoes after have worn NB, sketchers, and vionic brands. I’ve only been wearing them for about 2 months and find them to be great! They are comfortable and supportive during exercise.

Great Walking Shoes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second pair. They are comfortable for walking and I wore them teaching on spirit days. They accept my plantar fasciitis inserts nicely. And I like their appearance also.

Affordable And Comfy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these as a gift for my hubby and he loves them. Great for walking, lightweight, great price point and love the color options. He said they are very comfortable and he normally wears glycerin.

Great Purchase
I bought these sneakers a few weeks ago and really don’t need a break in period. Their fit was as good as I’ve had from Day 1 with any sneaker I’ve bought. Would definitely buy them again.

Perfect All-around Shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great all-around shoe for working out, running and walking. I like the extra room in the toe box, and the style is simple and clean. I'm getting additional pairs as back up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Shoe is very comfortable. Very light and doesn’t feel like you have a shoe on. I use these to walk and ride a bike and they are so much better than the Nike and pumas I have worn in the past and I really liked the pumas that I have been owned.

Quite Good But Would Like Slip-on Form
They feel quite good, but I would prefer a slip-on form similar to Skechers.
