Customer Reviews Brooks Levitate 3

I LOVE my Levitate 2. The most comfortable shoe I've ever had. The 3's however, rubbed a blister from the collar being so rough.

I was excited to see Levitate 3, as I've had Levitate 1 and 2 and found them both to be extremely comfortable and supportive. So far, I'm disappointed in 3. I'm not sure if it's the new tongue design but something is causing pain and bruising on the top of my right foot. I don't have this problem with any of my other shoes. I've checked the lacing and tongue placement, sock wrinkles, etc. I switched back to my Levitate 2 and don't have this issue.

Live the color of the black Levitate 3, but hate the way the shoe fits. Much narrower than the Levitate 1 and 2 shoe. Just walking around in the shoes, I received blisters on the back of my heels. These will not work for me. Very disappointed. I wish they would go with the Levitate 1 again. Best fit ever, now I don't know what to wear.

These go too high up on my heel and dig into my Achilles tendon. Had to return.

I'm so disappointed in the changes made between the Levitate 2 and Levitate 3. I love my grey 2's and was excited to buy my next pair. I purchased the black 3's from a local sporting goods store but after testing them out for a little longer than the test walking in the store discovered I couldn't even wear them for 30 minutes without the heel cutting into my Achilles' tendon. I was so disappointed because Brooks is finally making some really cool looking shoes. But now I have to try to find a different model or brand that is going to work.

I love the fit and the design of the shoe but unfortunately will not be keeping these. I noticed the collar rubbing on the back of my ankle within 2 minutes of wearing them. These shoes leave blisters from the rubbing. Really wished they would've worked.

I purchased these recently and am very disappointed! I only buy Brooks shoes and these are the first ones that are uncomfortable! They're too high on the back of the heel which caused a blister! I loved Levitate 1! Why did you all change the design?

This is my first pair of Brooks shoes, but unfortunately the elastic top rubs the back of my left heel so bad I can't wear them. I tried thick socks, breaking them in a month, but it didn't help. They've given me a huge blister that just gets aggravated every time I wear them.

Typically love Brooks shoes but these are not comfortable. The back sticks into your heel and makes it miserable to wear.

I am so disappointed, and sad. I was really looking to wear this new tennis shoes at work. I have plantar fasciitis, so I have to replace the original insert with an orthopedic insert. I size up , just so the orthopedic insert will fit properly, as advised by my podiatrist . Well, after inserting the orthopedic sole, the tennis shoes became extremely tight and uncomfortable on top of my foot, to even feeling my toes tingling. When I first got them, I wore them with their original sole, but it rub the back of my ankle badly . It irritated my skin, maybe they would work if I wear my compression socks, instead of ankle socks. I absolutely love Brooks, but I so sad about my recent purchased.

The elastic edging on the back of the shoes at the ankle is very stiff and cut into both my heels creating bloody blisters that took weeks to heal. I still can't wear the shoes if i am walking for very long or very far.

Too small for the size and unable to lose the laces

They were too narrow. I bought two sizes to try and both were too narrow on my feet. I didn't even attempt to run in them because they weren't comfortable at all. I returned them both. I loved the color and style of these shoes but it was not a good fit.

I wish I would have gone to the store to try them on. Much harder in the sole than I expected.

Returned these shoes. Wanted a replacement for my levitate 2. didn't have a similar or desirable fit.

The back is too high on the heel and the fabric already has pulls in it.

I bought these shoes because I thought they would be just like my other ones however they are nowhere close. I am cross country runner and run 5ish miles a day on average and my other Brooks shoes held up well for my training. The back detail on these shoes rubs on my Achilles and creates blisters. The tongue is also an odd shape which causes it to hit your foot at a weird angle.

Love the style, love the color but this shoes make my feet hurt .. very disappointed...

I wore these shoes exactly twice. The first time I wore them with my Normal no show socks and I got the worst blister I've ever had in my right foot. I thought well maybe I just need different socks. I got some Crew socks. Waited an entire week for the blister to heal and went for a one mile walk. After 1/2 mile my blister was bloody again. The shoe itself was really comfy and springy. But I can't get past the possible blister.

I have been a loyal levitate supporter for many years. I ordered the 3 and I was so disappointed. When I ordered them I had big blisters on the back of both heels. I am an avid walker, and was shocked by this as a this had never happened before.

No stars. I bought them for the sock/knit like feature, bc I run trails, to keep out the rocks. I had to walk home barefoot bc the blistered my ankles so badly. They hurt my feet. Never. Had. A. Pair. Of. Shoes. Treated. Me. So. Poorly.

After having 2 pairs of the levitate 2 which I loved I was very disappointed with the levitate 3. Had to return them as I got blisters on both my ankles. Didn't have that problem with levitate 2.

I normally wear the Ghost shoe but decided to try the Levitate as I thought it was a level up from the Ghost in cost and the description of the Levitate. I was disappointed when I ran in the Levitate. After my first in, the back of the shoes rubbed against the back of my ankle. I tried a few more times to run but each time the shoe would rub causing blisters and bleeding. I returned and exchanged to the Ghost. So much happier with the Ghost!!

I was a loyal fan of the Levitate 1's, then Brooks went and changed the entire shoe. First it was the heel, now it's everything else. My feet slide from side-to-side and my heels slip. These are terrible. You've managed to turn a great shoe into one that's unwearable.

I loved the first levitate and even levitate 2 . the levitate 3 was too wide in the LE and too narrow in the regular levitate 3 . none of them fit the same . i just ordered levitate 4 hoping they've fixed some of the issues !! PLEASE GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SHOES ! they worked !
