Profile

Nothing is spared in the Trance™ 8. It is a captivating combination of Brooks' best technologies, most luxurious materials, and stepped-up styling. The incredible cushioning of a full-length MoGo midsole and smooth stability of the PDRB^® (Progressive Diagonal Roll Bar) only hint at its wealth of features. From sockliner to heel counter, no detail is overlooked and no indulgence is excluded.

Upper

* Multi-layered, Custom Fit Ortholite Sockliner
* Moisture Managing Element Mesh

Element™ An upper technology featuring superior microfiber construction to provide weather protection in a light, supple, quiet fabric that doesn't sacrifice breathability, durability or comfort.

Midsole

* Heel HydroFlow ST-XL
* Forefoot HydroFlow
* Full Length MoGo
* e1 Heel Polymer, e2 Forefoot Polymer
* Progressive Diagonal Rollbar-PDRB
* Dual Density DRB Accel
* S-257 Cushsole

* Crumple Zone Configuration
HydroFlow^® dynamic viscous fluid units for heel and forefoot enhance midsole cushioning attenuating shock with industry-leading dampening and comfort.
MoGo a new midsole compound provides a soft cushiony first feel that lasts without sacrificing stability. Brooks' in-house and accredited third-party testing showed that in comparison with Substance 257™, MoGo offers a 40% increase in cushioning, 22% more energy return, and 33% less fatigue.
e1™ a midsole/outsole compound works in conjunction with HydroFlow^® and S-257™ to progressively dampen the forces of energy that occur during the contact phase. e2™ a midsole/outsole compound is used to enhance resilience under the metatarsals, resulting in a more powerful propulsion.
Progresive Diagonal Rolbar (PDRB™) Brooks' dual density post is biomechanically engineered to allow for progressive pronation control and creates a smoother transition from the midstance phase into the propulsion phase.
DRB Accel™ enhances tunable torsion of the midfoot. Shank-like thermoplastic devices vary from single units of a set modulus, to dual unit versions of varied modulus (one tuned with higher stiffness for medial support, the lateral side less stiff to smooth the ride).
S-257™ Cushsole is a durable, energy-efficient midsole compound utilized as an insole board for even more cushioning and flexibility.
Enginered Stable-Pod Configuration refers to midsole and outsole components that are engineered to set the foot up in an efficient, balanced position from heel strike to toe-off, offering maximum stability and responsiveness.

Outsole

* HPR Plus
* Blown Rubber Forefoot
HPR PLUS™ is a higher durability, abrasion-resistant rubber outsole compound that wears longer.
