Brooks Trace 4

Brooks Trace 4 review: what runners say

Fit

True-to-size fit with an engineered mesh upper that delivers a locked-in feel. Suitable for extended all-day wear as well.

Feel

BioMoGo DNA midsole in its softer configuration: moderate stack but well-cushioned, with solid energy return and smooth ride. Segmented crash pad ensures a fluid heel-to-toe transition.

Durability

Sources note a durable rubber outsole suited to mixed surfaces (asphalt, treadmill); no precise mileage data available from reviews.

Best for

Neutral daily trainer at an accessible price point. Versatile across varied distances and paces: everyday mileage, long runs, light speed sessions. Not a race shoe.

Weak points

The 12 mm drop is flagged as excessive and outdated by at least one experienced reviewer, who notes a heel-strike tendency induced by the heel geometry.
