I have been running in the Trance 7 for the past month and love them! No surprise that they are Editor's Choice in RW. A lot of cushioning in the forefoot, very nimble, very quick, and very cool looking (definitely better than the Trance 6). It's really hard to go back to any other shoe (Alchemy, Adrenaline, etc) after this one.
Anyone else run in these shoes? What do you think? Any equivalent shoes from other brands out there?
I tried them on and thought they were a complete piece of crap. I went with the Kayano.
Also they looked flaming gay.
f^cking awesome shoe.
I'm not a high end stability shoe guy, but I thought they were a great shoe. A much better fit than the Kayano. The upper was a bit narrow, but that is nice. Most of the high end shoes are wide and really heavy for the penguin people. But this was narrow, sort of light weight, and its just a great shoe. Plus they look pretty cool.
Side note....I would still run in the Adrenaline, if I didn't get the trance for really cheap.
Just got a pair and they ROCK!
GTS 7 is bloody good for the money though!

I wouldn't go so far as complete crap, but its hard to beat the Kayano. I tried it on too, and it just didn't feel as smooth as the kayano.
they are making pretty big improvements to that shoes (trance) with every update, though, so maybe next time they will be a closer competitor.
Actually I've heard a lot of people say they prefer them over the Kayano...makes me wonder what the results would be if people tried them on in a "blind" wear test. Do you think it's the Kayano name that "feels" better to some?
both are such light, flexible cushioned shoes. in my opinion, the trance had less arch support than the adrenaline (and i have a very low arch). felt like i was noticeably overpronating just walking in them. could possibly be the cardboard last in the structure of the adrenaline that i\'m used to. the kayano definitely had more support in that area, but couldnt tell if it would wind up being too much for me.
I've tried both. The Kayano feels lighter but breaks down fast...150 miles. The Trance 7 is heavier and offers more support but seems to be more durable and retains it's cushioning longer.
i just got the 6's and i love them. i's a small runner and they dont feel too heavy, plus they look much better then the 7's
