Customer Reviews Brooks Levitate 3

I cannot wear the design. The tongue is sewn into the shoe half way up the laces. Leaving no flexibility. Love the color. Love levitate 2. Bring the old design back!

I hate the new design. The tongue has no flexibility like the levitate 2 It is affixed to the shoe half way up the laces. I'm so sad. Levitate was my go to shoe for work or play

I hate the design - the tongue is stitched to the shoe half way up the laces. Love the color. Love the levitate 2 Disappointed and will back these lev 3

Bad achillies support. The backing keeps rubbing on my achillies and agitating the skin. Poor design.

These shoes rub blisters on the back of your feet.

Had to return. Wore for less than an hour and had blisters on both heels. Love all my other brooks shoes.

The shoe was comfortable but rubbed horrible blisters on my heels. Sent them back and ordered the Ghost 12. Hope they work better for me.

I was really excited about the Levitate 3. They look so cute. When I got them they fit nicely and looked great. BUT...... then I went on a run and after 1 mile the heel was cutting into my arch and creating blisters on both feet. I had to run back home. I decided never to wear them again and send them back. I opted for Ghost 12s which are lovely.

I wanted to love these but they feel like they'll never break in and hurt the arch of my foot so much it's painful to run in. I find myself grabbing my old Brooks over these because they are so uncomfortable. Super bummed.

So disappointed. I'm 46 and I weigh 108 pounds. It feels like there is zero cushion and so uncomfortable. The back heel comes up too high and now I have to pull my socks to protect my heel. I have always trusted Brooks, my last pair was Levitate model and I was so pleased I ordered again. Oops Brooks... back to the design table

These shoes were fine for running and such, but the cuff on the heel actually broke skin my Achilles' tendon while I was on a walk. I decided that the price I paid was not worth the headache of trying to buy new socks/figure out a solution. They looked great, just not the best design. I sent them back.

I am so disappointed. I love all my Brooks running shoes. However, for my first run in these, I could not finish this morning due to blisters on the back of my heels. The high snug heel design is very uncomfortable. These are also heavier than other Brooks.

Design flaw- The back tag rubs against my achilles- very painful

The back of the shoe is high and extremely uncomfortable

the shoes' heel was way to high. it gave me blisters. I wanted to love them, oh well.

Love the shoe but the shoelaces broke within two weeks. They sent me a new set of shoelaces which also broke in one week.

Overall the shoe is super comfortable...however I have two dime size blisters on my ankles. I even purchased the brooks socks with the cushion. I love Brooks and have several pairs...this was a horrible design flaw.

do not like the levitate 3 as well as the levitate 2. The sole, arch support and width are not even close to the previous version. Not a comfortable shoe at all. I have wore the same size in brooks shoes 6+ years and these are too tight. The levitate 2 is the first shoe I can wear that my feet dont hurt. So now I am starting over in search of another pair like that.

They rub the back of my heel. I will be returning them this week.

I need a wide toe box and there isn't any way to loosen the laces enough for my comfort.

These shoes run extremely narrow and tight and the material on the heel rubs against my Achilles' tendon. After two runs, and blisters both times, I had to return the shoes.

I bought this sneaker to replace my levitate 2 which is no longer available. The fit was completely different in all the wrong ways. Sneaker was way too tight in the toe area and I repeatedly got blisters where the back of the sneaker hit my ankle. You can see in the pic that the sneaker curves in towards the top, where the levitate 2 didnt. After several attempts to "break in" I had to return. It didnt make sense that I had to "break in" running sneakers. :(

The shoes rubbed blisters on the back of my heels the first time I wore them. I am not going to be able to wear them. I was so disappointed.
