Brooks Transcend 7, Men’s Running Shoes

Product Information

It will hopefully give you all the information you need at home to potentially throw this into your daily training. Jeff: Every time I put this shoe on I kept hearing Sonny and Cher’s “I Got You Babe” as I was having Groundhog Day-esque flashbacks to the Brooks Glycerin 18. The stability here is not for severe pronation but more for those who just would like a little extra support some days. I was training for a marathon while testing and wore them for all of my runs, except for the longest.

The cushion will lead you to feel good and the stability will keep you under control as fatigue sits in. That essentially means there's a strap that attaches to the top on the lateral side and to the tongue on the medial side that keeps the tongue in position.Was the contrast between firmer and long BioMoGo DNA medial rail and softer main midsole DNA Loft to much?

Full disclosure, I am not a stability runner, in fact, I supinate which means I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum. The Brooks Transcend 7 is recommended for mild overpronators who need a stability shoe for high-mileage runs and easy, recovery runs.This is one of those shoes that isn’t flashy in how good it is, it is only when you realize you haven’t thought about an aspect of the shoe does it prove to be good. We're talking about the runner that makes contact on the entry point and as they transition through to midstance, there might be a little bit of bias towards that medial side, resulting in mild overpronation as you get ready to come out of your gait cycle. The midsole is composed of Brooks’ DNA Loft foam; for the unfamiliar, it’s EVA with air injected into it for a softer feel. We've shifted our focus beyond the feet to the most injury-prone part of a runner's body: the knees. It is known for being a tank of a shoe, but Brooks has recently taken out that hard piece of posting and placed a guide rail instead.

The reconfigured sole-to-sole ratio allows DNA LOFT augmentation for even more extreme softness underfoot without losing responsiveness or durability throughout your run. I’m going to compare it to the Glycerin 19 which is a neutral shoe that has nothing changed from the medial side to the lateral side.

Running in the shoe, my legs always felt fresh post-workout, or at the very least, I didn’t feel completely broken after hill workouts. One of our testers, Paul Fenton, summarised this shoe nicely: ‘I would recommend this shoe to anybody who wants a dependable, comfortable training shoe that could be used across a wide range of conditions and courses.
