introduction
The Brooks Trance 8 is designed for moderate to sever over-pronation and offers a multitude of features to enhance your running experience. Built on a Universal Sprung platform, the Trance 8 is semi-curved for a universal fit an sprung for enhanced toe-off. With its high levels of cushioning technologies Trance 8 is great for high mileage or larger runners.

cushioning

To deliver ultimate cushioning, the Trance 8 combines e1 fusion and Hydroflow ST XL cushioning technologies in the heel. The bottom loaded e1 fusion polymer helps dampen impact forces. Hydroflow ST is a dynamic, viscous cushioning system that delivers cushioning, heel stabilization and energy return. The Beast uses an extra large size Hydroflow ST unit.

A forefoot specific Hydroflow unit is placed under the metatarsal area to provide extra cushioning and responsiveness and e2 fusion adds another level of resiliency.

midsole

Performance of the Trance 8 reaches high levels thanks to its BioMogo midsole, which provides better cushioning, energy return and durability compared to traditional CMEVA midsoles. BioMogo is also environmentally friendly; it will degrade in a landfill in about 20 years, which is 50 times faster than a traditional foam midsole.

To counteract excess pronation, the Trance 8 incorporates a Progressive Diagonal Rollbar (PDRB). The PDRB consists of a second and third density midsole foam, which provides a smoother transition of forces compared to traditional second density midsoles. A dual density DRB Accel unit improves midfoot integrity and further supports excess pronation.

upper
The upper of the Trance 8 consists of moisture managing Element mesh and linings and a plush heel collar. Synthetic overlays help secure the foot to the shoe. The upper construction is completed with a combination lasted fiber board and S-257 cushsole to provide heel stability and forefoot comfort. Additional comfort for the foot is provided by a well-cushioned Ortholite sockliner.

outsole
To smooth out the heel strike, the heel outsole is articulated with flex grooves. Good wear durability is provide in the heel by HPR Plus rubber. The forefoot is made of blown rubber to add cushioning and responsiveness and is configured in a Stable Pod design for a balanced toe-off.
