Don’t listen to most of the reviews that complain about minor fit issues. Everyone has different feet and it’s 3 Dimensional, so wide for some is narrow for another. Measuring only takes two dimensions into account. So, if your foot shape fits, this is a quality pair of shoes. Well built, stunningly beautiful and bouncy as a dream castle! If it’s not for your foot shape, I’m truly sorry, if it is, you will love these shoes!

This is another great edition to my Brooks collection. The shoes are very comfortable for work. I’m on my feet for 8 hours or more! I will only buy Brooks from now on. The pull tabs are an excellent feature and help putting the shoe on much easier. Great design!

Brooks is one of my favorite running shoes however the Levitate 3 feels more narrow than normal & the heel pull tab can be hard to get used to & get over. Love the overall style & design of the Levitate 3 but do wish Brooks offered this model in a wider option.

Shoe looks amazing and feels like you are walking on air. I returned them b/c they rubbed my achilles heel a bit after walking for ~5 hours (took kids to the zoo, great way to test them). Might work better if you have narrower heels, or possibly if you get a wider option, but everything else about them was great. Really lightweight and a great shoe, so I was disappointed that the snug fit at the heel caused the discomfort.

Had the Levitate 2 was great shoe. Went with the Levitate 3 and the shoe was a lot tighter and the heal is a lot higher in the back. This makes the shoe cut into the back of my ankles. If the ankle area of the shoe didn't change this would still be a great shoe. Unfortunately this makes a great shoe unusable hope it gets changed back when and if the 4 ever comes out.

Absolutely awful. I have been wearing brooks levitate series since they were first introduced. There is a horrible design flaw where the back of the shoe curves into the back of your ankle. CausiNg pain while while and bleeding after a short run. Maybe i have sensitive ankles or maybe this is a poor designs. Brooks— leave well enough alone and bring back the heel on levitate 2.

This is by far my favorite pair of brooks, fits like a sock, feels springy when running and is a great shoe!

Really love the Levitate 3. This is my second pair because I had been using my other pair exclusively. I had also purchased the new Bedlam but found the Levitate 3 super comfortable. I had two pairs of the Levitate 2 which I also loved (and preferred over the Bedlam). In general, I find the Levitate model better (for me) when running longer distances. I run about 8 miles per day / 50 miles per week. There is little to no break in time for the Levitate 3 which makes it super appealing.

I work 50 plus hours a week on my feet in a Distribution Center and my feet take a beating on concrete, grated metal flooring and bicycle pedaling oddly enough. I have plantar fasciitis in my left foot and it gets very painful. I researched what shoes were best for the condition and came across the Levitate in multiple articles and I have been pleasantly surprised and completely satisfied. Although the pain comes and goes it has been MUCH more bearable through the first month or so. They are very comfortable, breathable, supportive, durable (the sole on most of my shoes usually begins to wear and lose traction from the abuse of grated metal flooring, but these are still like new) and fashionable. I've gotten more compliments on these than any other shoes I've owned and my feet are thanking me. I'm going to try the Ghost 13 or Glycerine next after doing the shoe finder on your website for a personalized recommendation.

I was very pleased when my new shoes arrived minutes before run club. I had been stuck at 9:20 a mile for a month. Fresh out of the box, I felt the need to be faster. When I reached the hill portion of my run, my legs had more energy. At the line i still could finish strong. Very surprised Garmin showed me at 8:51.

Besides the Ghost 13, this is the best sneakers for comfort and style. Definitely buying another color, I have 6 pairs all Brooks.

Ah, I'm not sure how I will ever want to buy a different kind of sneakers. I have been walking 5-10 miles a day in some old Nikes. My feet would hurt and deter me from wanting to go work out. I finally went to the store to buy a new pair. I was hesitant to spend this much on a pair of kicks. Let's just say I've spent more on a night of drinking a few times a week in the past. Never ever did my feet feel this good in the morning.

Love this shoe. It's my third or fourth pair of brooks and it's by far the best. Wish they could do more color options

I tried several different pairs of Brooks before I settled on these. They have a lot of great shoes, but once I landed on the Levitate 3's, that was it. I tried them out on a 13 mile run and they felt great throughout. I'd highly recommend.

I am a senior 25 mile weekly walker. The Levitate 3 is the most stable, comfortable walking shoe I have ever owned. Good job Brooks!

Light and supportive. My toes, knees, and ankles all feel great, which isnt always the case with other running shoes.

So good! My runs have never felt so energetic. I've been wearing Brooks for 8 years. I've been looking for a replacement for the discontinued Pure Connect line, and these Levitates are it!

Nice and springy. I knew it runs a bit narrow and bought a half size up. Love it to run in or just as a casual shoe.

Haven't run in them yet as I just wear them for now as very comfy to say the least. I walk more than run and they are super comfortable. Very lightweight and functional. Also very stable as a nice wide forefoot which is great.
