Brooks Women's Levitate 4 Running Shoe

I love these!! I work nights at a hospital and I cannot have shoes that hurt my feet or legs. I love these shoes so much. A big problem for me is arch support and stabilization. These shoes offer both. I work on a psych unit so sometimes we have to do physical holds on patients which require me to be on my feet and able to maintain balance. These shoes are perfect for me and I always get compliments for how cute they are. They do run a bit narrow so I had to go a size up. 8 to 8.5 but it fits really nice.

I was a bit skeptical about buying this because another reviewer said that it was tight across the top of the foot because the tongue is sewn into the shoe so it does not have any stretch at all. I wore it today and it is snug and was tight across the top of my foot, but after a 45-min HIIT workout, the shoe loosened up. It is a very comfortable shoe. It is lightweight which I really love. I would recommend this shoe. I bought a whole size up for better comfort.

Just got these and they're really comfortable. I ordered a half size bigger than my usual size, and they feel too big. I would recommend just getting your usual size, especially if you have normal to narrow feet. There's a lot of room in the toes. Even with an insert, they seem a little big having ordered half a size larger than normal. Otherwise, they're very springy and comfortable.

This shoe Runs a little narrow. I’m a medium width. These shoes fit like a glove on me but this pair is tighter than the last version I bought earlier this year. It forces me to wear thinner socks and keep the laces looser. If I do that, they are ok but if I don’t, I get discomfort in the tops of my feet.

I will preface this by saying I am a massive fan of Brooks running shoes. Absolutely love these shoes. The Levitate are made better than the Adrenalines. The front has a stronger, reinforced area around the toes. ( A nice improvement over the Adrenalines). They're not cheap, but if you put serious miles on, your back will thank you. I originally ordered size 8, bc other models of Brooks have fit true to size, not these. Had to return them and exchange for a half size larger. Highly recommend these. Color is nice as well, don't have to worry about them looking dirty

Wow. For the first time since I started wearing Brooks running shoes in 2008, I found the pair I couldn’t wear. Since switching from the Adrenalines about 5 years ago (I had several years of plantar fasciitis I couldn’t explain until I was told my arches were too normal for the Adrenalines) I’ve been using the Levitates 1, 2, and 3, purchasing about 2-3 per year. When my latest Brooks Levitates reached the end of their journey with me while deployed to Afghanistan, I went back to Amazon to replace them with the next generation in the same size. About a month later I received the 4s and put them on during the day for about a week to break them in before using them in my normal workouts. Within 2 days of running, biking and lifting I had a blister forming on the back of my right heel and a hot spot on the back of my left heel. In 2 more days my left knee started developing an early patellar tendinitis (I’m a doctor and see/treat this condition multiple times per week). I cut back on my running (from 4-6 miles per day to 4 miles at a walking pace) and started doing eccentric stretches for a couple days. At that point the blisters became more than I wanted to deal with and I started to realize the only difference over the past week was the shoes so I switched back to my older Levitate 3 shoes. During the next day’s workout I had no pain in my knee and haven’t since then.If I wasn’t deployed I would have returned these shoes but cannot do so at this time.There’s a different hard piece of plastic on the outside of the heel that I believe caused the rubbing leading to the blister. The sole of the shoe looks the same but I’m clearly not responding to it the same. Hopefully you have a better experience than I did. But for me it’s a no.

I love the look of these shoes. LOVE them. But I was extremely disappointed when all of the negative reviews I read were true. I thought I wouldn't have issues- I ordered up a half size, I have slender symmetrical feet, I've had a few pairs of brooks before. Nope. The shoes are very tight, and you can only loosen the laces so far. There is NO room for any inserts for those who use them. They do take more effort to get on your foot, and the material around the ankle is rough and is likely to create blisters if not careful.But, I thought maybe with a few wears the fabric would relax a bit and I could slowly break them in. I wore them out for errands, around the house, took a walk to a nearby park...they felt ok. Still snug around the arches, but not to the point of being uncomfortable. I would order a full size larger- half size is not enough. Then my old shoes broke to the point where I had no choice to wear them on my long walk/jogs. I discovered that I could feel the guide rail technology through the sole of the shoe. This created additional pressure against my two smallest toes. I felt a blister forming, and when I was about a mile from home, that blister popped and I was unable to walk without severe pain. I took my shoe off and couldn't believe the severity of the blister I had just given myself. =( Thankfully I thought to bring a couple band-aids and was able to limp the rest of the way home.I still love the look of these shoes, but at this point it seems the shoe is too narrow along the sides, putting too much pressure on the toes. I went ahead and bought a pair of Ghosts just in case.. I am not sure I will return these- I can use them for casual wear, but I don't think I'll be using them in my jogs/walks anymore.

Comode da tenere tutto il giorno , legere come non averle ai piedi ,Ottima fattura , resistenti !!

Der Titel spricht eigentlich für sich.Auch wenn wir gelegentlich doch mal einen anderen Schuh ausprobieren, es geht nichts über Brooks.Diesen Schuh habe ich bereits zum zweiten Mal gekauft. Er ist als Arbeitsschuh im Einsatz. Auch nach 7 Stunden auf den Beinen trägt er sich immer noch angenehm.Die Dämpfung ist auf Fliesenboden absolut ausreichend.Rutschfest ist er aber leider darauf absolut nicht. Auf Asphalt dürfte das aber anders aussehen.Die Sohle ist nach gut einem halben Jahr noch ohne nennenswerte Abnutzungserscheinungen.Wie immer bei Brooks geht man 1,5 bis 2 Nummern größer, dann passt er perfekt.

Lovely runners true to size would highly recommend them.

Sehr gute Sportschuhe!Hält den Fuß gut und läuft sehr bequem und sicher.100% Weiterempfehlung!

great shoes compared to price. they are comfortable and light.It would be better if its straps were in better quality
