Quick Bio: 200 lb marathoner. About 50 miles a week on a bike path. High arch. I've run in seven models/12 versions of Brooks. I used to like the Brooks stability shoes because I'm a heavier runner, but since Brooks added the guide rails, I can't run in any of their stability shoes (The top of the rail creates a blister on my arch), so I've switched to netural shoes. It's a fast shoe. The previous models were just too heavy, so I like that they stripped down the unnecessary weight, although the shoe runs really tight and the liner is paper-thin. I do like that the toe protector is softer than most shoes. I'm running, not working in construction! It's an easy way to trip weight. I wanted to give five stars, but after my run, my legs were really beat up. I run 13 miles every other day for the last three months, but my legs are noticeably sore after running in these. I usually shave off 1.5-2 minutes off my HM time, so I'll probably keep them for races, whenever they come back (I hate you 2020!). I would highly recommend these if your form is strong, so maybe a sub-4 marathoner. For me, they felt cushioned, but I didn't feel the bounce of energy being returned the way I felt running in the Ricochet (rest in peace).

Great for more pop in your run. I have several brooks shoes and I usually run in my ghosts. I don't use the levitate everyday. When I want to race or run hard for time I use the levitate, so much more spring in my step. It is harder on your body, but faster than the ghosts.

Very beautiful but uncomfortable and tight on the top of the foot. Took the time to break them in to give them a fair shot, because I love the chassis. Lots of response and boost, but I gave up with the comfort. Tossed them in the trash after 100 miles or so. Loved V2 and V3. Guess I’ll stay with Ghosts, even though they are a bit too cushy.

PROS: The best quality of the shoe was its arch support and sturdy sole. I love the fact that it wasn't filled with soft, squeezable cushion. The next good quality was its stylish, sleek appearance. CONS: The sock style fit is terrible. I'm not sure why Brooks made the shoe with a rubber sock. Geez, it squeezes my entire mid foot to the point of pain. Get rid of the onsie rubber sock and I may purchase these as a keeper.

I just recently received my pair of Brooks Levitate 4 and I am definitely pleased. I've been wearing Brooks shoes almost exclusively the last few years, so I speak from experience when I say they are great if you have foot pain from plantar fasciitis. They are also great to use as exercise shoes. I do a lot of high intensity interval training which requires quick movements and jumping and these Levitate 4's are so light I feel like my old shoes were weighing me down compared to the Levitate 4's. Like all Brooks shoes I've owned before these have great support and are true to size/width. Great shoe.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks are the only shoes I'd recommend for workouts/running but for casual shoes I would recommend

Let me start out by saying my last 20 pairs of running shoes have been the Launch (love em), but I wanted to mix it up. Super bouncy in feel and an airy lightweight upper. They run a touch more narrow than the Launch but overall have a smooth transition from foot strike to toe off.

Nothing as good as Levitate 3. Feels like a step :-) in the wrong direction.

My husband didn't like the sock style at the ankle so it's going back. He picked Brooks Adrenaline instead. (I have a similar shoe with sock style that I like a lot. Just a personal preference.)

I LOVE the Levitate 4. I have neuropathy in both feet and legs. They don't hurt my feet and legs. I have went threw a lot of shoes trying to find a brand or a shoe that helps me out. Your shoes are the only shoes that works. Yes i buy a running shoe. They have a springier feel and there comfortable. The only thing i would change is the tongue of the shoe. Should be like a regular shoe. Not this wide and really short tongue that's on the levitate 4. That's the only thing i would change. I buy on line. Never had a problem and never had to return a pair of shoes. They fit my feet great. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart thank you and keep up the good work. Robert T Willard

I love the Levitate 4 I own 3 pairs. I love the tight fit to the foot, it's like a sock with a sole. By far my favorite shoe. I tried the Levitate 5 stealth fit and the regular fit and returned both to purchase another pair of the 4's. The 5's didn't fit tight enough like the 4's do.

Awesome shoes. Lightweight, springy, neutral support with fast transitions for running on black top. My next pair will be the Levitate 5 stealth. I'm hooked on Brooks.
