Customer Reviews Brooks Levitate 3

I do have to wear them with a high rise ankle sock to keep them from rubbing on my ankle. Other than that, they are super cushiony. I really enjoy running in them.

Love these shoes. I get a lot of compliments on them. They did present an issue with the heel being tight up top, but I managed to stretch them out, so it doesn't bother me anymore. I also have pretty intense plantar fasciitis; my inserts fit in perfectly, and I have been mostly pain free, which says a lot.

These are probably the most comfortable shoes I own! I have had issues with heal spurs and these don't bother them at all. There is the perfect amount of support in the heel and arch!

Although I need time to get used to tighter fit around the ankle, fits fab and functions wonderfully! Sherri L.

I haven't had a chance to run, yet... Covid-19 has put a stop to my training. The shoes look great and are comfortable whilst running around my home. They feel more comfortable than the levitate 2. I really liked the levitate 1s.

This shoe has made a huge difference in my runs! My calves and legs are not hurting any more, and I absolutely love the way it feels like it is springing me forward with each step! I even recommended them to my mom; she got a pair and loves them too!

I received the levitate 3 LE shoes as a graduation gift & I LOVE them. They are a great fit, comfortable, and supportive. I can't say enough about them.

I LOVE this shoe - my friends/teammates make fun of me because of how much cushioning it has, but that is what i love about it - and it's still not bulky or heavy!! I run D1 cross country and track and have run a lot of mileage in these, and have tried each new version of the Levitates and they keep getting better. They are pretty durable (although i have a rule that i switch shoes every season and a half, and i alternate shoes almost every day), so so comfortable, and I have had almost no injuries over the time i've had them! Anything i've had has been minor and more likely due to running a bunch of left turns on an indoor track or just unluckiness. no bone injuries, either. great great shoe - i seriously cannot say enough good things.

I enjoy the high energy return with this shoe. The faster I run, the more energy I feel returned. My foot runs slightly narrow, especially in the heel. I like wearing ankle or compression socks and did not have issues with the heel or tongue, unlike other reviewers. My feet are sized 8.5 and 9. The 9 fits fine. If my feet didn't run narrow, I may have gone up a half size. I use this shoe on medium and long road runs. Originally, I wanted these shoes for my Spring marathon. But with the race being postponed indefinitely, I will be using these as trainers. I run 30+ miles per week use them in my weekly rotation.

I have run in the Bedlams, GTS, and Brooks trail shoes for a few years. I love the GTS for their stability and like to alternate with these to give my foot a different feel for mid-mileage runs. The GTS is not as great for spring or energy return as the Levitate 3! The Bedlams are a great stability + spring shoe and I still love these and continue to run in them. The Levitate 3: the knit approach makes the shoe far more breathable and lightweight. It gently wraps my foot and ankle. I did not have any of the rubbing issues reported by other runners...the lacing on this one can be very tight out of the box so you must adjust the lacing if that is an issue for you. The springiness of this shoe is a delight...it truly makes your longer runs bouncy and the shoe felt great under my foot. I wore this for a half marathon and had NO blistering on my toes or ankle. Typically I do get some blistering around my big toe no matter what I do, but not with the levitate and this was a welcome surprise. It is a lightweight, springy, fun shoe for short, middle, or long runs if you do not need the stability. My legs felt great after the higher mileage and I will buy another pair for different colors. In terms of weather: Being a knit shoe it is probably not your best bet for rain unless you are ok with wet feet. I have not been taking this pair in the rain or puddles for this reason so I cannot comment on it's ability to drain wetness.

I love these shoes! The first week my toes on right foot kind of hurt but that quickly stopped and these have been excellent shoes. Very comfortable!

Extremely comfortable and I'm picky. I've gotten so many compliments on the style as well.

As a nurse I'm always on my feet, now I'm walking on air! The most comfortable, durable never let me down shoes I've bought to date. Want comfort? Give this a try you wont be disappointed!

comfortable! Great shoes. I loved my last pair and had to have another pair! Great running shoes! Best part; doesn't slip off my heel!

Best gym shoe ever. It really does give me a spring to my step I did not have without them. Great fit, very comfortable. One small flaw in design, the back is too high and will rub if I don't have the right pair of socks on. Really would like to ask the designer why he built it up so high. Otherwise best shoe ever.

I recently switched to Brooks after experiencing some foot pain while running. My feet are narrow, so the fit is perfect and the cushioning is amazing. The shoes are very responsive for road and treadmill running. I couldn't be happier with these shoes!

I recently bought a pair of this exact shoe - the Levitate 3 in the black/silver/gray. I love this so much I can't say enough good things about it! As I read the reviews here I am shocked. The very things that seem to bother people are the exact opposite of what I found. I felt the toe area was much more roomy than other models. I've been wearing Brooks for so many years I can't even remember how long - 15 years? Probably way more? I don't know. But I started out with the Glycerin. Some years later I found a Ghost model that I liked because of the colors. I found it very similar to the Glycerin. As time went on and models changed I find the Glycerin isn't quite as supportive for me as it once was. I was about to leave for a trip to England and needed something comfortable and with good support. I was going to be on my feet a lot, taking care of my 6 month old granddaughter, and knew if I wanted to see anything I would have to get out and walk because of pushing a stroller. A week before I left, I bought this pair of Levitate 3s. At first the "sock" thing at the back of my ankle kind of rubbed and I was afraid it would be a problem, but I kept wearing them, and even though I had taken another spare pair of Glycerins with me on my trip, I never wore them. This shoe was amazing and I LOVE it so much. I probably walked between 7 and 8 miles most days of my trip and my feet never hurt. 10 days - constant wear - 71 years old - love them!! Maybe those who had a problem didn't give them enough time to get used to. Sometimes wearing just a few hours a day to begin with can help. I did that the week before my trip and by the time I started out, they were fabulous. I plan to buy another pair in the future for sure!

Great shoe, great support overall. Although the shoe runs a little snug, these are my favorite books shoe over the Ghost and Revel's. I recommend to order half size larger (eg. 8.0, order 8.5)

Awesome cushion and support while long distance running.

Wonderful shoe! They look great, feel great...are great!

Great fit, nice support around the ankle! Takes a bit to get the right lace pressure but great for long runs.

BEST LEVITATE YET! It's so much lighter than the last version and the fit is somehow even more sock-like.

I love the Levitate running shoe. This is my 4th pair.
