Customer Reviews Brooks Bedlam 2

Only about 20mi in but I love them. Great support and responsiveness. Ran Raveena 8-11s but very happy with these Bedlams

Shoes are very comfortable. I run almost every day. My first pair of Brooks and I will never buy another pair. Purchased online and sizing was just right. Went through the website to find the right shoe for me and I am completely I'm pressed. Forever customer!!

I was having trouble with my IT bands and these shoes pretty much fixed the majority of the issue right away with the support rails in the shoe (PT has taken care of the rest). Excellent shoe, light, fast, and not clunky. I had steered clear of Brookes in the past due to the "moon boots" type of feel, but these are streamlined and I don't feel like I'm wearing clown shoes on my feet. Highly recommended.

Fit great. Comfortable stable should was needed to minimize my achilles soreness. So far has done the trick. Never had a Brook's shoe before so a pleasant surprise and looking forward to wearing these out.

Each shoe felt custom fit to my feet. Love them! As I am a red-headed person, the Celtic flair socks were a hit, though I have yet to wear the bonus item.

Great shoe. Feels great running....helps my knee out a lot. Been running in the wrong shoe for too long.

Great combo of response, cushion, energy return, fit, and style. If you don?t love it right away, give it a chance. The shoe got better after about 20-30 miles. It?s been great for Tempo, Zone, Distance, and Recovery. Really does everything well. The Bedlam 2 is nearly my perfect show. Why nearly? While the toe box is roomy it still follows a traditional shape and I have to rub my toes good with foot glide to keep from blistering. Wish I could get the Bedlam with the toe shape of an Altra or Topo. All in all, if you have run in Paradigm, Arahi, Gaviota, or Kayanos I think you will like this shoe. It does fit true to size and so far seems to work best with a thin sock.

Bedlam 1 has been my Favorite, these are excellent to but I feel some padding has been shifted in placement.

Very comfortable shoe. My calf pain has decreased rather quickly. This was the shoe that the brooks guide recommended and they were spot on. No issues with the shoe at all after wearing them just I we a month.

Great shoes They have a big toe box and hug your feet with plenty of support

Excellent!!!!! Very cushiony and forms to my feet like socks. I have recommended this shoe to my wife and my son. So glad I chose this shoe. I'm about to begin running and walking again after a small injury.

Took everything good from the Bedlam 1 and improved it! Great shoe

Overall great support. Very comfortable shoe. Was advertised as being "springy" which I don't feel, but would am happy with the shoes.

Best running shoe I've tried. Light weight and comfortable. Very little break-in time.

It's a great shoe, there is a huge difference in the bedlam and another companies shoe. The bedlam is great allows The comfort and corrections needed for you to go Further. The only draw back is that the shoe is narrow not made in a wide option or for flat footed people in my opinion. Shoe is not made for overweight People, after a week or 2 of moderate use one shoe started making a popping sound like if it had an air bubble in the sole and it had popped. Maybe those things should be added into the fitting questionnaire. 1. Weight 2. Flat footed or arch 3. Wide or narrow Overall good choice of shoe.

Shoes are great. Looks-wise, not the nicest shoes in the world. I won't wear these except to run. While running, I have a little discomfort in my arch with these shoes. I bought them for me somewhat flat arches. I think maybe they're more flat than this suits. Overall, they are great shoes that I highly recommend. They only lose a star because they're not very good looking and they're not the most comfortable in the world to me, but to each his own I suppose.

The sole is quite hard, but very responsive. I wouldn't use these for a long run of 6 miles or over if you have any issues with ankle or knee pain. Great for tempo or speed work.

3rd pair of Brooks but first pair of Bedlams. They feel great and look awesome however I wear footie socks and the back of these rub the back of my ankles raw unless I wear longer socks. I didn't run in to the issues with my Ghost or Adrenalins.

As most of you show you should wear a slightly longer suck because the backs do put into your heel. But other than that they are a very nice shoe

I would've given it a 3.5 if it let me. The colors are lighter than they look in the picture and the sole is not as comfortable as I have come to expect from brooks. However, the support and the "guide rails" are definitely noticeable. I took off one star for the comfort and the other half star for the colors. It doesn't look bad, just not as good as the picture. Also, I have wide feet and I got the normal width because they were out of the wide in my size and it is noticeably narrow but that is my fault for not waiting for the wide shoe to become available.

I would recommend, but I would not say these are "cushioning". Very stable and high quality and love the look. I'm 5'11 and 215.

I enjoy the new shoes but after the first run, the heel area by the loop rubbed my heel (both) raw with blisters. The heel area of shoe isn't well padded and if wearing thin socks it tears up the heel. Other than the heel, the shoe is very comfortable. I like the colors (would like a bit of color but I like the darker look).

Overall these shoes are great. The only issue I've had were with the left side fitted a little narrow. The cushion provides a springiness with a softer step that helps with impact on your knees. The soils in my opinion has not allowEd dirty to buildup, cutting down on slipping while running.
