Customer Reviews Brooks Levitate 2

Great fit and support. I got the lilac/navy and I get a ton of complements!

I own several pairs of Brooks runners and love them all but these babies knock it out of the park!!!! Inspired by another review, I went on the Brooks website and took the shoe finder quiz and these were one of the recommended styles. I’m SO glad I did that and bought these!!!!! LOVE THEM!!!! They’re like walking on clouds and I had no knee or back pain at all while wearing them or for awhile after I took them off. I don’t have high arches and often have issues with some shoes that have high arch support. These don’t so they’re perfect for me. I usually wear a 9.5 but ordered these in a 10 and they fit a tiny bit on the large side but not so much that I’m exchanging them as I think the 9.5 won’t leave much room for my foot to expand so that’s something to consider. At the sale price, these are a steal. I’m so happy I found these and that I bought two pairs. :)

These shoes are great. Comfort and style!

I had to order half size down compared to what I wear in other brands of running shoes. Colors are great. I wear them for distance and have no issues. My foot is on the wider side of medium and I still have plenty of room. The heel is padded but I think if you are in the correct size shoe it is comfortable. It does lace differently than other shoes but I still did a modified heel lock lacing and it works.

Fits well. The laces go far up the toe and up the ankle for a snug fit where needed.

I love Brooks Levitate 2 and have 3 pairs. I use the shoes for workouts...anything from Step or GRIT to weight training and lots of walking. I am not a runner so have no experience with these shoes and running. I have a high arch and had problems with aching feet, but that stopped after I started wearing these shoes. I am consistently an 8.5 shoe size and these are true to size for me. My foot is average width...maybe a touch wide. The shoes are easy to get on and off. The cushion level is great and nicely padded and the shoe is sturdy. I get compliments every time I wear them.

Ordered half size up and fit perfectly!

I think this is my second review, because I bought another pair of the tan/brown/pink just in case Brooks changes their styling before I wear them out. I wore the first pair right out of the box on college move-in day and they were so comfortable. These shoes run a little narrow but that works well for me. The tan/brown/pink with the detailing and softness elevate beyond any kind of running or athletic shoe. I think I'll use them for fashion and not for fitness. I have several other styles of Brooks, and I like them all.

I'm a nurse. I'm on my feet a lot and for long hours. These shoes make my feet feel like I haven't been on them all day. I have always loved Brooks shoes but these are my favorite yet!

This is not my first pair of Brooks, but it is my first pair of Levitate 2. I love them! Right out of the box I wore them all day to move a child to college. I bought my normal size 8.5 and I love how they fit my larger and smaller foot well (I have over a half size difference). The heel is narrow and the toe box is not bulky. I ordered the tan/brown/pink. They have a style to them that elevate beyond a running/walking shoe. The detailing is awesome. I will probably order a back up pair and the black/gray in the same design once they come back into stock. I haven't worn with orthotics yet. Very happy to have a nice looking sneaker for leggings

I love these shoes! I ordered my second pair in the color I originally wanted when they went on sale. I’ve had many compliments on my first pair and the second will get even more. They are amazingly comfortable. I’ve walked miles in them with no issues. I’ve had two surgeries on the bottom of my left foot so cushioning is critical for comfort. I feel nothing when I wear these shoes. They are fantastic!

I've had 8 surgeries on my feet. These are very comfortable shoes

These running shoes are more casual due to the unreinforced cloth upper material. Slightly more narrow and fitted than Brooks Ghost and with more padding/ bounce in the sole—now I know why they call them “Levitate”!

I'm just getting back into running after taking some time off due to injuries. I was fitted for a pair of Brooks Glycerins and really like them, but it's usually recommended that you run in multiple kinds of shoes to help reduce injury risk. I was using a pair of Hoka Bondi for my second pair, but they are pretty clunky and I wanted something that might help me on my speed improvement days. The Levitate was one of the other shoes I liked during my fitting and it feels completely different than the Glycerin. I've only got about 7 miles on them so far, and while it may be psychological boosts, I've already shaved a significant amount of time off of my pace on speed day runs. Maybe it's because I'm comparing them to the Hokas and Brooks Glycerins, but the toe box is definitely more narrow on the Levitates. It reminds me of my old Brooks from 2015 and I just hope I don't prematurely bust out of these shoes. It's certainly not uncomfortable for shorter runs, but I'm no sure I want to use these on anything greater than a 10k. Beyond that, they are beautiful shoes.

I typically wear a size 9 and these fit great!

Love these shoes. The tread on the bottom seems to wear quickly, but it could be the rough roads. I can usually get about 200 miles out of them before the tread on the bottom requires me to replace them.

Can't say enough about these shoes. I've been wearing Adrenaline's for the past 10 years and decided to switch things up and purchase the Levitates. It's definitely a more bouncy shoe which I love. I stopped running long distance so these shoes are great for my 3 miles runs. I purchased them in black and they are so awesome and stylish and go well with my mostly black and grey work out wardrobe. They fit like a glove whether I'm wearing a thin or thick sock - I don't ever feel my foot swimming or squished. I'm so glad I decided to branch out and purchase the Levitates!

Great color combo and like the snug fit.. really considering getting another pair

Sized down based on reviews by others but found them to be TTS to the many pairs of Brooks I've owned in the past. Super cute design. I love the detail in the back of the pink and tan!

I love Brooks shoes! And these more than the others I have had in the past. I remove the insole and put in my insert in.

This is my second pair of Levitate's I had the first model and now I'm on to Levitate 2 and I love them! I do group fitness and cross training and I like how they support and protect my feet. I also like that they have minimal drop so my toes aren't squished in the toe box from all the movement. I've had plantar fasciitis but the way these shoes protect my feet, it's gone away. I highly reccommend these. Also love the new fit and style of Levitate 2!

Unfortunately this shoe did not run true to Brooks sizing I’ve grown accustomed to over the last 4-5 years. I’m a 7.5 in all of my regular shoes and have always been an 8 in Brooks (multiple styles as well... Adrenaline, Glycerine, Ghost, and Transcend). Got these today in an 8 and they’re a half-size too big. So many mixed reviews on the sizing here, but I can say without question my regular shoe size would’ve been perfect. Love the look, super cushy, but bummed they have to go back. Even with my SuperFeet inserts there’s just too much length left in the toe box.

Purchased my Brooks Levitate 2, size 7M, in Gray/Silver. Great fit, super comfortable. My feet are wide, and I typically stick to Saucony's. Decided to give these a try after a recommendation from a friend with wide feet. Glad I did!

Good fit with a great cushion for my heel. I have plantar fasciitis and was looking for a shoe to wear for long days on my feet as a teacher. So far, so good.

I love Brooks running shoes! They may be a bit pricey but are definitely worth the money. Nothing worse than shoes that don't have support or aren't comfortable. Brooks, no matter the style, fit the bill. When I saw the navy and lilac style I knew I had to have it! Give Brooks a try if you haven't already and you won't be disappointed!
