Gorgeous color and very well made. Unfortunately ran at least one size too big. Unfortunately had to return them.

The shoe seemed narrow but the length was accurate.

Love these shoes! Overall very comfortable for marathon training. I only gave them an overall 4 stars because the sole was not as durable as I would have like it to be. I have high arches and the outer part of my shoe tends to wear, but I would recommend these shoes for training runs and long runs.

I like these shoes but they aren't as comfortable as my levitate 1s. They don't have as much cushion.

Super comfortable. I'm on my feet 12 hours a day so I need the extra cushion through out the entire sole that this shoe provides. The only bad thing is that the bottom of the shoe cracked all the way through and all the way across the shoe less than a year of wearing them.

This is my first time wearing the levitate. I chose them more for the design than because they were good for me. They did not come up when I did the Brooks test. But I like the way they look so I decided to try them. They are comfortable but I like the Ghost series better.

Overall, excellent shoe. Does need to have extra sock protection around the ankle for longer runs/walks. Rubbed a huge blister on inside ankle during a 4mile walk, but had thinner socks on. Have had many compliments on style.

I love the look of this shoe, and for the sale price, it was worth it! However, they do not have the same support and comfort of the first generation Levitate. I am happy with them as far as fit and style but the newer Levitate 2 version does not outdo the first. Maybe I’ll have to try the 3.....

I had some room in the toes area which doesn’t make it “true to size.” A different color that I have was perfect, just not sure why This one was felt differently.

I like a Brooks running shoes but I liked my ghosts much better than the levitates! The levitates I got for Christmas are already wearing down on the heals. They don't feel as good on my feet when running as my ghost have previously!

I use full size orthotics so I got a 1/2 size larger and they fit very well. The style is sharp (gray sole would look better than the silver, though). They are the most supportive and comfortable sneakers I have ever purchased so I have two pairs. The bounce and energy is real - seriously and I have bad hips and am over 50. One thing - they are noisy! They squeak and squish like they are wet - it is actually funny it is so loud. I don't really mind because they make me feel energized and make the standard body pain vanish. Go ahead - try them. I bet you will be glad you did.

I usually go a whole size larger in Brooks since my foot moves during my workouts. I wear an 8 in most shoes but went with the 9 and it works. There is plenty of room for my foot to move when I run. I have noticed the cushion is not as great as some Brooks I own. I’ve worn Brooks for the past 7 years. These shoes are great to kickboxer since you stay on your toes quite a bit, but I’m going back to my Brooks ghost to run. The fabric around the ankle does cause your socks to slip. I prefer shorter ankle socks. Overall, great shoes.

The shoe runs a half size bigger than the Levitate I shoes. The heel comes up too far and the sock edge gaps a bit (I can envision gravel getting kicked up into my shoe). The footbed and the spring of the shoe are fantastic, as found in the earlier version of Brooks Levitate. I LOVED my earlier version of the Levitate. I don’t know why Brooks changed a superior design just to update it. I’m so disappointed.

perfect fit for my feet. I wear a 9 and ordered a 9.5. Love them for HIIT workouts, indoor or outdoor. Lightweight with great support. My last pair lasted a couple of months. The sole split on both shoes but i literally wore them out! I will see how this pairs holds up but they are great great shoes. Love this style of brooks

The fit was as expected, however it was a stiff feeling shoe. I currently have the Brooks Neuro 3 and enjoy the movement it allows during running. This shoe didn’t have that same movement allowed in the sole.

Love love LOVE these shoes! I've been running in Adrenaline for years, then Launch..and finally, Levitate. The Launch weren't lasting me more than 400 miles which instigated the switch! I really love the stability of these shoes. They feel like they did the first day I ran in them - and that was a good 300 miles ago. Only downside: I did get some blistering at the back of my heel, as they dug in a bit. My feet are used to this now.

The Levitate 2 seemed to fit slightly large so I opted for a half size smaller than I normally wear. The upper is incredibly comfortable and molds nicely to the back of your foot (so no heel slippage), however, the thicker mesh material definitely adds warmth.

I love these shoes and all the color options. But my question is why can't you make these for us flat footed people. You don't have many options for those of us who suffer from flat feet.

These are my first ever pair of running shoes. I have always bought just the cheapest athletic shoes for everyday walking/activities as I did not do anything that really required running shoes. I was fitted at a local running store and these were the ideal fit and cushion combo. I have under 300 miles on them and still wear them as my primary running shoe. When I was putting them on today I noticed a crack under my right foot, mid-sole. Sure enough, under my left foot, I have a similar split. The split is all the way through the cushion on both shoes and is over 1" wide. The shoes are still comfortable but I wonder if that should happen? What is the life span of this model of shoe?
