Customer Reviews Brooks Bedlam 2

Love these shoes. Ordered these before i saw there was a quiz to see what kind I actually needed but still satisfied

Love these! Great for long distance. I love my Levitate 2s, but decided to try these since they are for longer distances. Worth the switch! Will definitely make these my long distance runners. They are high backed, so need taller ankle socks or could cause rubbing.

I purchased these shoes for my daughter who is a nurse and struggled with her hips, knees and feet. She said she loves the shoes and her issues have progressively gone away. She will definitely continue to purchase this shoe and would highly recommend them.

Love the levitate but wanted to give these a try. LOVE!

For someone with extremely flat feet, these are amazing! I love the structure and that they are still cute! I may get a couple of pairs.

Great shoes for running! I love the traction and comfort. Interestingly there was some quick wear and tear on the inside fabric near the heel. Piling similar to what happens to a sweater or the fabric between your legs for sweat pants

These are my favorite Brooks running shoes. They are supportive, cushioned and comfortable.

Very nice! Comfortable and well built. Have not used them much yet but so far I really enjoy them.

Love love love these shoes. Absolutely my favorite.

I really like this shoe. This is my 2nd pair of Brooks - doctor recommended. My first pair was the version of this shoe prior to this one. I like it but this shoe seems to give me a bit more support and has a more snug fit.

I'm not a runner but I work in a busy medical practice - 15-20,000 steps per day. I needed a comfortable yet very supportive sneaker. My must- haves are: great arch support, solid heel cup, wide toe box and flexibility. This sneaker has them all.

I don't run, but have worn Brooks running styles for many years. They were the recommended brand for walking and any other activity requiring an athletic shoe. I have flat feet and over pronate. For years I wore the Ariel, but that one doesn't have the flair I wanted. I also was looking for more "spring" in my step. This checks that box too. Bought this shoe for the style, looks and comfort. Wanted something "fun" and trendy looking to wear to work on occasion. Love the sweater like fabric and neat color combination. I teach grades K-8 and my students thought these were pretty nice!

I just received these in the mail today and went for a quick 6 mile test run. So far, I am really digging these new Bedlams! After running 300+ miles in my Ricochet's and then switching the Adrenaline 19's for my longer runs, I realized my hips and knees appreciate the GuideRails for support. Though I enjoy the Brooks comfortable Cushion line, I did miss the responsiveness and a greater ability to feel the ground from the Energize line. I have been eyeing the Bedlam's for a while and decided to just give the new Bedlam's a try. I have to say, these are really comfortable! The toe box is wide enough to give my toes a little wiggle room, and yet still fits securely snug. (I have tried Launch 6's too but felt that this was too narrow for my feet). I've noticed that the upper feels more flexible and softer than my Ricochet's, which feels like a nice change! I got the responsive and springy feel that I've missed from the DNA AMP midsole. Also a major plus, I love the black/grey/blue color scheme! These shoes look really awesome in person. I tend to prefer neutral colors over the brighter colors that are usually available. One con about these shoes though- I would suggest either wearing the socks that have extra cushion for the back of the ankle or longer socks. The edge of the shoe that meets the back of the ankle is pretty rigid and can dig into/rub up your skin on longer runs. This isn't a huge problem for me because I tend to wear those socks anyway, but just a fair warning for those who don't wear them.

Great support. Wear this for long shifts at the hospital. Very comfortable with the right amount of cushion for long shifts.

I like everything about this shoe except that the back comes up too high and rubs my ankle. I had to find an insole thick enough in the heel area to reduce the friction.

Beautiful shoe, but for some reason it rubs against my lower right ankle. It fits my left foot perfectly. It could just be my gait.

Everything about it is great, except the back comes a little too high for my comfort, so it rubs a little.

Great shoe...energetic, connect to ground.Thought these would work...irritated my IT band I need slightly more support....changed to GTS But this is a great shoe!

I love the look and they feel great even after a ten hour day working at the hospital!
