How it ranks
The Brooks Trace 2 ranks above most daily trainers in our data. Comfort and durability are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 4 runner reviews and 1 other rated shoe in the Trace product line. Another 8 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

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!
