Customer Reviews Brooks Bedlam

I’m a very flat-footed overpronater and the Bedlams have been perfect for me. They’re super light but my foot feels totally stable when I run. I love the gel cushioning and that I can slip them off and on easily. Plus they look great and not so clunky and weird like other stability shoes I’ve worn.

I love these shoes. I ordered a size 11 even though I wear a 10 in dress shoes, etc. I'm glad that I did. They are very comfortable for running. Just enough cushion. I bought a different style of Brooks to rotate my shoes every other run to try and get a little more life out of them. I wish that I had bought two of this style.

The size is just perfect. It is extremely comfortable. I cannot wait to wear them to my next workout.

These are excellent shoes if you’re looking for a support shoe with a wider toe box. As a forefoot striker I have a hard time finding shoes that have enough cushion in the forefoot as well as the heel. The Bedlam are cushioned yet give a bit of energy return. I normally size up 1/2 in Brooks, Nike but after reading other reviews I didn’t and it was the right choice. These run true to size. Excellent debut!

I have tried several styles of Brooks over the years and Bedlam is by far my favorite. Because it is so true to size I ordered my real size of 5.5 instead of my normal 6 in running sneakers. These are literally lace up and go, no break in period, no blisters and no need to adjust. Pricey but worth it!

These look and feel great!!

I love the sneaks. Best Brooks ever!!

Love these shoes! I have flat feet and these feel great! Arch support is just enough!

So comfortable - I feel like they saved my feet. I overpronate and these have helped correct the problem so my feet don’t hurt any more!

These are just as beautiful in person as they are online, and they are amazingly soft and cushioned. They do NOT run small. I'm usually a 6-6.5 (mostly a 6.5-particularly in tennis shoes), so I ordered a 6.5 after reading some reviews that they run small. I had a full 1/2 in. at the toe and am returning them for my smaller size, my feet are not narrow at all either, so width didn't contribute to them being/feeling too large. If you're in between sizes, I suggest ordering your smaller size on these unless you wear thick wool socks when you work out or run :).

Love these shoes! They are great looking but neutral colors. I wear them for strength training and city walking. They don't have enough cushion for long runs. They look great wth exercise clothes and street clothes. Recently took them on a weekend trip to NYC and after 2 days of walking was ready to put them right back on. Highly recommend!

I bought these to replace my Brooks Transcend 4, which I loved because of the roomy toe box and support for overpronation. So far, these are fantastic! They feel quite a bit lighter than the Transcend, and appear less bulky - but without sacrificing either toe comfort or stability.

I have worn many different brands and styles of running/walking shoes and believe me, these are the ones for me. They are supportive for my pronating feet without bulk or being overly heavy. The upper is sock like and just so comfortable. I hardly know I have shoes on at all. They are a little pricey, but I plan to buy a second pair before they disappear. Please don’t ruin these by deciding to totally redesign them for next year. They are perfection.

My new favorite running shoe.

Amazing shoe right out of the box. I love everything about these!

These are beautiful sneakers for support sneakers!! I can't wait to try them, unfortunately one of the sneakers came without the insole, so I need to send them back. Definitely getting them replaced and can't wait to run in them!

I have to say these are my favorite Brooks so far and I have owned at least 6 pairs in different styles. Super comfy and supportive. They are made with a cool, stretchy material all over and fit like a glove. I put a lot of miles on my sneakers and these had me moving faster and lighter (at least it feels that way) I highly recommend these!

As is usual for me with Brooks, I took a 1/2 size larger than my normal size. The width was normal and, for me, the arch support was adequate. I have terrible back and leg problems and usually add an insole. In this shoe, after 2 weeks of wearing, they still are very comfortable with the insole that came in the shoe. I did have a little rubbing the first time I wore them on the back of the right ankle but I put low rise socks on instead of no-shows and that problem was remedied. Love the updated design of this Brooks shoe.

I am really disappointed that I have to return these. Normally I don't need a wide in Brooks, but in this pair I did. I really liked how unusual the styling of this pair was. I tend to like fun colors and patterns for my workout shoes and clothing. I ended up going with the Brooks Ghost 11 instead.

From the first minute I put on these shoes they felt fantastic! I wore them around the house all day without a single issue. The insoles are easily removed to put in inserts if you have them. The toe box is wide and roomy. I've never worn Brooks before, but would certainly buy these again!

I had been having issues with foot pain for over a year. I tried Asics, but the pain persisted. The minute I put these on, my foot felt much better. I have a wider foot and narrow ankle making shoe buying a challenge. I cannot say enough about the comfort and support of these shoes. These are my first pair of Brooks, but not my last! Very happy.

I have been wearing Brooks shoes for years. I always wear the Adrenaline GTS. The 18's are okay, I liked the 17's better. I was very excited when I got the email about the new stability shoe coming out on 9/2. Ordered from Zappos on Sunday and got the new shoes on Tuesday. Used the shoes to walk the dog on Wednesday and Thursday. I was impressed. The true test for the shoes came on Saturday. I am a fitness walker for a resort and do a 2 hour/8 mile walk with guests. We walk on asphalt and dirt trails. I love these shoes!! My feet felt great at the end of the walk. Great support and love the padding around the inside of the shoes. Thank you Brooks.

These shoes are SO comfortable! And, as a couple different ladies pointed out “those are so cute...and they’re Brooks?! Brooks are supposed to be ugly”! Yes. They are cute, comfortable, and Brooks. I wore them for the first time with no problems whatsoever, for a full hour-long, Orange Theory class. I think the pink ones are in my very near future.

Love this shoe as an update to the Ravenna model! The fit and feel is everything I’m accustomed to from Brooks; heel holds me in tight, toe box is roomy, but not overly so, and the cushioning is fantastic for a long run. Really like the sleek design, as it look much less bulky than some of the other models without sacrificing any the comfort or cushioning. This is the kind of shoe, that I could definitely use at the gym, as well as, my every day running shoe.
