After seeing that the side of my Brooks Trance 8 had split open(794 miles) , I decided it was time to get a new pair. This was coupled by the fact that I had a nice gift card and Tri-Running was having a sale. So I went today at lunch and bought me some new Trance 9's. I tried on the Adreline's with the Trance 9's but they both felt the same with the Adreline being a bit more of a snug fit and the Trance felt like there was slight room in the toe box. I wondered what the difference was between the two and while digging around on the web I found that Brooks has a blog titled "Brooks Adreline GTS10 vs. Trance 9: What's the difference?" The blog basically says the same thing that I felt and was kind of confirmed by several comments. Since the last four pairs have been Trance, I decide to stick with them. I thought about going to a lighter shoe type, one that is less stability but in the end, I stuck with the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it' mantra".
Tomorrow we should hit that track but even if I don't, I will go out for a run to see how the perform.
