Our ratings use detailed reviews from knowledgeable runners, ratings for shoes in the same product line, and reliable product information from trusted retailers.
Rankings combine runner ratings, whether reviewers say they'd buy a shoe again, direct comparisons to other shoes, related product-line performance, and trusted external ratings.
The darker band shows the central rating range. The lighter band shows a wider range of reasonable outcomes. More reviews for this shoe usually narrow both bands.

Overall
The Trace 2 is super comfortable and feels great to wear! It retails at $100, but typically goes on sale for more like $75. One complaint I have is that on my first pair, the sole underneath came off a bit, and on both of my pairs the foam part wears down over time. Overall, solid, comfortable running shoes!
