Customer Reviews Brooks Levitate 3

I need to get used to these. I've have always had ghosts and it's just a different run.

Great shoe for about a year doing hiit workouts until the sole split across the bottom from bending with the ball of my foot. But since they fit so well and have great cushion while running I bought a second pair

I decided to try the Levitate after using the Ghost series for years. The additional springiness in the Levitate is nice, however the fit is not the same as the Ghost 12s that I was using before and was fitting very comfortably. The shoes feel a little heavier than the Ghosts when I first put them on, but it's not noticeable when running. The toe box feels more narrow and the heel gives extra space at the bottom of the heel but squeezes and rubs my Achilles. Even with higher socks the rubbing breaks my skin. It's a weird conundrum that I have extra space in one area but pinching in another.

While the fit is great and provides a really nice support to run. The stitch towards the loop on the back is not neat and uneven, this causes the shoe to cut your back of the ankle when you run/walk.

Too early to tell. I have developed a pretty bad metatarsalgia problem in my right foot. I did feel it coming on the day before I switched to this shoe, so it's not necessarily due to this shoe, but to be transparent I must say the problem has gotten much worse even after running with this shoe for a couple weeks. I only run 4 days total of 12 miles per week. Ask me again after I recover and run for another two weeks or so.

Well I've worn these bad boys twice so far - the first wear they tore a hole in the back of my ankle somehow (despite the nice cushioning) and the second (covered in moleskin) they just never quite felt comfortable and I switched back to my most comfy shoes (Hokas) mid-run. Hoping a couple more light workouts in the shoes will get us acclimatized together, if not, these are cute enough to be casual walking around shoes I guess.

Could be a comfortable shoe, tie box is a little cramped and I am hoping some of the pressure points break in. Have approximately 25 miles on them so far.

great shoe! very comfortable but the top of the heel (where the pull strap is) cuts into my Achilles. I may just need to wear them more to break them in, but right now that is the only downside to this shoe.

These shoes are great but not for anyone with wide feet... it's such a bummer that Brooks doesn't make wide options for all of their shoes. I prefer Brooks shoes to the competition but my hand has been forced to look at other companies (New Balance.) Come on Brooks make your shoes inclusive for all runners.

I like the shoes once I get them on. The short tongue makes it difficult to put the shoes on as I have a high in-step and am 84 years old. I obviously am not a runner, however, I do walk 2 to 3 miles each day. Other than the short tongue I like the support and comfort the shoes provide.

Decent light weight shoes, not the best quality. I have used Brooks in the past but these are little less on quality.

It's a bit heavier than i like. Have only had out It on 4 runs so far. I will update after a few more runs however I like the way the glycerin feels true to the road.

over all great shoe, but when i recieved them they appeared to be dirty brand new... i havnt even tried to clean them yet. i wore them once but im so disappointed that they were dirty around the ankle to start.

Nice looking shoe being my first pair of Brooks I was hoping that I wouldn't have any problems. I only ran in them once and I had to take them off. I ended up bleeding on the right side. Other then that I really like them as soon as it warms up. I want to give them another try. Overall I do like them

Levitate 3's ankle band, cuts chaffs @ ankles and heel... on last pair I bought. Original version was most comfortable... Addition of band hit or miss comfort wise

They are very stretchy and feel like they can tear easily. a more supportive skin would help keep the shoe more durable and last longer.

The shoe felt good on my foot. It was not as soft as my Ghost and I did not feel any faster. I did feel the shoe was heavy. The biggest issue was the high ankle collar, this rubbed the back of my Achilles raw on the first run.

The shoe is great for running but it cuts your heels

A more neutral shoe which is nice. A little more lightweight but the heel is too high. On my 4th run with them it really started to rub my Achilles and now I have a big blister. Unfortunately I already got rid of the box or I would return them

Not a good fit. Blisters on both ankles from the very first use.

Didn't care for them. I just answered the questions on what I should buy and bought these based on brooks recommendation. I don't care for them.

The back of the shoe cut into my upper heal area and cut my skin while I was running. The back of shoe could have been constructed better on the inside or use padding to prevent back of heel cuts.

The color and design get the 2 stars outside of that this shoe is horribly uncomfortable. Regardless of the socks that you may or may not wear your ankle is going to be split/cut open. Would not buy again

The shoe is definitely nice and if it fits you, I'd definitely recommend. Unfortunately for me, the back of the shoe digs into my achilles and caused blisters/bleeding after only the first mile. I tried again after letting them heal and I could tell it was going to happen again just from walking around. I'm a bit disappointed since this was the shoe recommended to me from the shoe finder quiz.
