Customer Reviews Brooks Levitate 2

Size was good, but felt snug

My first Brooks purchase. I’ve only worn them twice for running/walking, so far I am pleased with them.

I absolutely love this shoe, but need it one size bigger! I have been waiting for Zappos to get in my size so I can order them asap! Hurry Zappos! :)

Loved these shoes on screen. They were super bright fun colors. In person, they were not as bright and overall the colors were muted. I was super disappointed. But I still liked them enough to keep. I'll use for walking.

I am very happy with the fit of the Levitate 2. This is the second pair I purchased. I am on my feet the majority of the day, so these shoes save my feet from agony at the end of a long workday.

Good fit. I think the style is rather ugly, but the shoe fits well. Changed the lacing: let’s see how it holds up

If these shoes were just a touch lighter they would be my all time favorite shoe. I have a normal-narrow width foot with a high arch. They are a little heavy but they are a great everyday runner and comfortable out of the box.

Love the style. Love fit and feel of the sock-like top. But I need a roomier toe width and a little more crash pad support.

unfortunately this model is not offered in wide. I still gave it a try because I loved the color and design but felt too narrow for my semi wide feet (with moderate bunions). Nice look though.

I hate that I'm having to return these. The style and color (I got the cashmere/bloom/silver colorway) were so cute, and I honestly expected to pick out a couple more colors to own as well. The sock-like knit collar was what drew me to these shoes, as I often have issues with shoes digging into my ankle at my Achilles. Turns out, though, that for me it was worse than normal. Wearing them for about 15 minutes in my house produced a dime sized blister, even through socks. If it had been thin like it is on the sides of the shoe, I think it would have been perfect for me, but the built up cushioning at the heel, which is probably lovely for others, just made the edge of the knit dig straight into my ankle. Otherwise, the fit was good, perhaps slightly longer than what I'm used to, but I doubt I could have gone from my normal 8.5 to an 8 comfortably. The midsoles are rather sproingy, for lack of a better word. Firmer than the Pureflows I had before, but still nice. If the shape of my heels/ankles were conducive to this shoe, I would have been a huge fan. If you have similar issues with shoes in that area, maybe try a different style, but I otherwise would recommend them to others even though they didn't work for me.

These were really cute, but were a little too big. I kept another pair of Brooks running shoes in the same size that fit great.

This shoe was very comfortable & fit true to size. However, after taking a 2 mile walk I found there wasn’t enough padding for the ball of my foot. I sadly had to return. They are lightweight shoes & a good deal of padding in the heel of the shoe. I liked the “bounce” I felt wearing them.

Super cute shoe. I’ve been wearing Brooks for years. I normally order a half size up for my running shoes. Not this pair. I’d order a whole size up. My toe touched the end leaving no room for expansion as you workout.

Love these but not the support that I need. It’s still a great shoe and have had a lot of compliments on them

Feel good nice shoes

Fit is good. The Levitate shoes in general break down too fast. They are comfortable.

I ordered these in Pink /black /aqua and the picture online does not do this color justice! It’s very much a hot hot pink and purple look / and less “orange.” I usually wear an 8.5 in brooks but ordered a 8 since my feet were sliding around in the 8.5’s. Feels pretty good...a little more narrow shoe than the adrenalines but super cute. Will be using these to slip on when I leave the house/errands and will save the adrenaline’s for actual running.

Returned because the shoe color was the same as my leg color

Loved these! The Color the weight and how they felt on, until I started really walking in them. For some reason there is this extra padding below the inside of the ankle and it left blisters on both of my feet in the same spot. I did 6 miles in them between walking and running and by the time I got home the blisters were bad. I even tried to put band aids on them the next day and after another 6 miles it was the same thing they rubbed in the same spot. I was so bummed because I loved the color and the honestly felt great everywhere else. So I had to return them...

Comfortable shoe. I have purchased other Brooks tennis shoes and usually go up a whole size for running but only had to go up a 1/2 size in this shoe. It is also a little more narrow in toe than my others which works great for my narrow foot. The taller back takes some getting use to but the gel cushion keeps it from rubbing ankle. Extra cushioned heel feels great! Love this shoe!

I am really happy with this shoe. I usually run in the Adrenaline GTS line but I require a narrow. Since they only ever have one color in the narrow I decided to try something else. I like to have a few colors to rotate through since I get new running shoes every couple of months. I am happy I gave these a try. They are a narrower fitting shoe. I do not have issues with the toe box being too wide and I am able to get them tight enough to prevent the heal slippage I usually have to deal with. They are also light and comfortable on long run days. As far as style, I get compliments every time I wear the shoe. I will continue to purchase this shoe.

First pair of Brooks. Have to say I’m impressed. Comfortable and fit as expected. Will buy more from this brand.
