Customer Reviews Brooks Bedlam

This is my first pair of Brooks that I’ve ever returned. I’ve owned at least 20 pair. This pair isn’t up to par. There is a seam that hurts!! It’s on the inner sides below the big toe, but before the arch. Tried to get passed it but I can’t. Returning and buying Ghost 12 because that’s a no fail.

I really wanted to like these bc of the new look and stretch sock material, but the top of the heel curves in and would cause instant blisters. Odd design choice and disappointing.

I've tried several Brooks running shoes. I was really hopeful for these, as they are said to be a high stability shoe which I need for an injury. I'll start off with the positive. They are so cute!! I love how they look! The best looking brooks so far. The laces are great with the spacing. One of my issues with the Adrenaline shoe was the ankle. Mine would slip, even after an ankle tie. The Bedlams kept my ankle IN PLACE! Love that! I was disappointed with the cushion. They have fine ankle, midsole support. Not amazing, but about the same as others. I was expecting a little more. The toes and front of foot felt like it had zero support. It hurt to run. The toe box is narrow. My toes easily touched the side. I can't imagine running in these in the summer after 4 miles. It would hurt your toes and the shoe. This was a huge bummer!!! I wanted so badly to love these. But I feel like Brooks has been failing in the stability realm, while providing protection for ankles and toes for those who truly need a stability running shoe.

Guess I'm not a Brooks fan. I tried them because I know a number of people that wear them and love them. I have tried 3 different styles - Bedlam, Addiction, and Adrenaline and they just aren't comfortable on my feet. I always have problems getting sneakers that fit with orthotics and these do not work well.

the sneaker was really wide in the foot and to much room to slosh around.

As others have mentioned and I ignored and shouldn't have...the tongue is seen strangely making it very uncomfortable. The toe box bothered my foot as well....lots of rubbing ridges, again from the tongue. Do not recommend. I immediately returned.

I love Brooks shoes so much and ordered this pair for its stability since I overpronate. There’s a rather unfortunate stitching situation on the side of these shoes right where my bunions are that makes these shoes totally unwearable for me. Also, the inner portion of the tongue is connected/stitched to the body of the shoe, which I do not like. If you don’t have bunions these shoes might be fine, but if you do I do not recommend them.

I love these sneakers! I have 2 pairs and they are so comfortable! I am a nurse, so I am on my feet all day, my feet don’t hurt at all. I was starting to have heel pain with my previous shoes and now it completely gone!!

Probably the most comfortable work shoe that I have; on my feet all day nursing. Great support; light-weight!

Felt great right out of the box! I had no issues with rubbing or blistering the first time I wore for a workout. I have worn Brooks in the past and the Bedlam is the best overall. I liked the feel of the material and the stability of the shoe. I am thinking of buying another pair to have on hand when this pair wears out.

Use for Spartan SGX classes and running. Love them! I have very flat feet with minimal arch.

???? love these shoes. They are cool but exactly what I needed to run on the treadmill. Substantial, great support and stylish.

These are the best Brooks shoes I have ever worn ... so much so that I have purchased an additional two pairs! They have great firm cushioning, and nice generous toe box and a perfect heel.

Love my new Brooks tennis shoes. They are true to size and are so comfortable. I love the colors they come in.

I love these. They fit like a glove,but still have a wide toe box. I have a slightly narrow foot.
