Brooks Trace 3

“The one with the black upper, white accents and white midsole? Maybe. I do like a more understated look, but I don't mind a bit of color. I ended up ordering a pair of black Torin 5 Leather, also in wide, to wear for work. Not because I wouldn't wear the grey/red colorway to work, I just didn't want to be putting mileage on my running shoes every day at work. With regard to Brooks, I just remember trying on 2E Trace 3s at a DSW and they felt uncomfortably tight. I then found 4E Ghost 16s, tried them on, and they felt perfect. I bought them and went for a short run in them before returning them and opting for the Torins. Didn't bother trying on 2E Ghost 16s, so I can't directly compare them. Maybe the Ghost 16 just has more width or a more comfortable fit over the Trace 3 to start with. The Trace basically appears to be the budget version of the Ghost anyways. All I can say is that I seem to have exceptionally wide feet - I usually have to go up a half size or full size in regular sneakers or dress shoes to feel comfortable, and I have tailor's bunions from years of trying to squeeze into regular shoes. Both the 4E Ghost 16 and the wide Torin 7 feel completely comfortable on me.”
