I 60 years old, am a supinator and I have neuropathy in my left foot. I do not run, but I stand a lot and walk a lot, both outside and on a treadmill, and use an elliptical. I've been wearing them most of the day, including a workout on my elliptical. NO toe numbness yet! Great shoes! Nice arch support, they hug my feet, but not too tight, adequate room in the toe box, nice cushion, and I was able to get them in a gray color scheme! I think they are keepers and I hope to get them in another color!

I'm an overpronater who has had plantar fasciitis in the past. This shoe is fairly flat in the arch area and I felt it wouldn't give me enough support while running. If you like neutral shoes you should give this one a try.

I can't praise this shoe enough! I have severe supination as the result of fasciotomy surgery for compartment surgery in both of my lower legs. I have always run in Brooks (the Glycerin was my go to for years) but still noticeably walk on the outside of my feet. This is the first shoe that completely supports my foot!!! It holds my foot straight, is comfortable for daily work wear (I'm a nurse), but also for running and exercise. I even wore it brand new out of the box for a week at Disney World! This shoe is a complete lifesaver to me! Thank you for this shoe!!

I’ve been a loyal Addiction 13 wearer for several years. I tried numerous options for my new shoes, and like these better than the Addiction! The stability is really nice, plus feels less bulky. It fits my orthotic nicely. Plus I like the style. Bedlam for the win!

LOVE these shoes. They are so comfortable and apply support everywhere I need it. I am no longer waking up with sore feet and ankles following run days.
I love the design!! There is plenty of room in the toe area. The laces start further back than my previous shoes so there is no pinching or rubbing.

I loved this shoes so much I have now purchased three pairs. I have worn Brooks for several years and this are by far my favorite. I walk all day long on a concrete floor and have no pain and no blisters. Fit is great. The tongue on the shoe is a little different than most so you just make sure you pull it up and over a little so it is laying flat. Shoes will not disappoint. The width, sizing and fit are all great.

Love these shoes! Need stability and cushioning and these Brooks fit the bill. I do a lot of walking on hard surfaces and having a good cushion layer without it feeling squishy, is important to me. Stability is needed for a weak ankle with bad arthritis due to car accident. When I walk, I have looked at my feet and see how they contact the ground and move forward in a straight line--no rolling noted. The color pattern is unique and like it very much. Soft area around heel in back is nice, however it tends to point forward a little, so I use a shoehorn to put shoes on. If tried to push foot into shoe, would probably pull the heel counter area down. They are worth the money! I find I am buying more Brooks shoes for the reason I bought these: stability and cushioning..

I have several styles of Brooks shoes and Bedlam is my favorite. I had plantar fasciitis surgery two years ago and after my first run of 13 miles in these I had no problem. I had pain in my surgery foot for the first mile due to getting used to and after that no problems.

I'll preface this review by stating that I'm "retired" from running, but love Brooks for the gym and walking. I loved the Ghost for running and later for other workouts, but foot weakness issues required me to try a more supportive shoe. I love the Bedlam for workouts. It's comfortable and supportive without looking or feeling like a heavy-duty support shoe. It's lightweight and doesn't feel bulky. I get lots of compliments on the shoe, and it gets a "thumbs up" from both my orthopedist and physical therapist. I do go up a half-size from my Ghosts.

Best Brooks Ever! I am a huge Brooks fan. I have quite a few styles, The Bedlam is by far the best. They are great to walk in and crossfit training.

Great! My second pair of Bedlams. They fit my narrow and flat foot without the need for orthotics for my pronating tendencies.

I bought these in hopes that it would help my intense shin pain when running. I’m only 3 days, 3 runs, and 12 miles in but they have been amazing! I haven’t had even a twinge of shin pain since switching to these. I wish I’d have known about them a long time ago, I may have saved myself years of shin splints. I highly recommend if you suffer from overpronation and shin pain.

I have never written a review but love these shoes so much I had to! I usually wear Hoka but these are so comfy and have extra cushion behind the Achilles’ tendon. The toe box is perfect for a little extra wiggle. Last but not least, they are adorable. Love these shoes!

Fabulous sneaker. Bought the Brooks Bedlam in turquoise and black loved it so much bought it in the light grey and salmon. I have lots of foot issues, broken metatarsal and bunionectomy last year same foot. This sneaker has a roomy toe box which I need plus there is lots of cushioning in the sneaker, yet there is lots of support as well. The area around the back of the heel has a collar which hugs your heel and prevents slipping of your foot up and down as you walk. This is a huge plus. Highly recommend this sneaker.

While the partially attached tongue surprised me, when I slipped my foot in and laced them up, these Brooks Bedlum are a perfect fit! They perfectly support my rather high arch, don't rub any where and fit my narrow heel, sort of wide forefoot with no issues. This is just out of the box, and I may update once I've worn them a while. First impressions are that I should order another pair pronto before they run out of my size because my feet are hard to fit and these seem just right. Hope they fit you as well.

These sneakers are fabulous. Lots of cushioning. Grips around the back of the sneaker so it does not slip up and down when walking. Toe box is great lots of room. I just had bunion surgery and this sneaker is roomy but not too roomy...just perfect. Highly recommend this brand best sneaker I have had in years.
