Brooks Trance 8 Shoes ss09

How do you improve on the award-winning Trance™ 7? You pack the Trance™ 8 with the same top-of-the-line technologies that made its predecessor an award winner and make it more environmentally friendly. Then, you tweak the design to look sophisticated and clean. The result? Tons of cush wrapped in a pristine, new, green package.
HYDROFLOW®: Dynamic viscous fluid units for heel and forefoot enhance midsole cushioning-attenuating shock with industry-leading dampening and comfort.
BIOMOGO: We've taken the long-lasting cushioning of our MoGo
midsole and made it environmentally friendly. How, you ask? By adding a non-toxic, natural additive to the MoGo compound that encourages anaerobic microbes to munch away once it hits the landfill.
e1: 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: Midsole/outsole compound is used to enhance resilience under the metatarsals, resulting in a more powerful propulsion.
PROGRESSIVE DIAGONAL ROLLBAR (PDRB™): Our 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. Shanklike 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: Durable, energy-efficient midsole compound utilized as an insole board for even more cushioning and flexibility.
HPR PLUS: A higher durability, abrasion-resistant rubber outsole compound that wears longer.
ENGINEERED STABLE POD CONFIGURATION: Midsole and outsole components are engineered to set the foot up in an efficient, balanced position from heel strike to toe-off, offering maximum stability and responsiveness.
ELEMENT: Upper technology featuring superior microfiber construction to provide weather protection in a light, supple, quiet fabric that doesn't sacrifice breathability, durability, or comfort.
