Customer Reviews Brooks Levitate 4

I own 5 pairs of Revel 4 and 2 pairs of ghost 13 and these are too narrow for me. Uncomfortable. It's a shame because these are sharp looking.

I took the shoe finder quiz and because of a knee injury and road running, the Levitate 4 was a great option for me. I went running twice now and both times me knee was in tremendous pain afterwards. I never had pain after running with my Brooks Ghost 9s though. Additionally, these shoes have a lot of flex in the top of the toe. If you enjoy having shoes tied tight to your feet, these are not a great fit for you.

The top of the shoe tongue is incredibly stupid. It looks like you want us to fold it down like a pair of baseball cleats. Please explain it's functionality.

Not impressed, cheap and uncomfortable. Paper thin insoles definitely not what I expect from Brooks. Quality is fading.

Not very comfortable. Don?t like the black bottoms.

I've been running for about a month on the Levitate 4. I like the light, cushioned, and springy feel. I don't like the traction, they are slippery on wet surfaces. Also, I'm starting to get a hot spot on my left foot that I'm worried may eventually lead to a blister. I'm going to go back to the Brooks Ghost.

Not very comfortable for running. They look good for casual dress. The Ghost I prefer to run in.

Hey earlier versions were much more stable to run in. They fit better overall and were easier to put on an take off. You should return to the previous design

I have had the last few versions of this shoe as well as the ghost models. I am not a fan of this model. Platform seems too firm and rigid. Wish I could trade them for the ghost model. Still a big fan of brooks. Just not this version of this shoe

Looks like a great shoe, but runs a half-size small at least. I have run in Brooks for years and am a loyal customer but in my usual size (9.5 men's) my toes were bunched. Standing next to an old pair of Ghosts, the Levitate was a good 1/2" shorter.

Love the look, design,color scheme......BUT FIT IS HORRIBLE!!! WAAAAAY TOO NARROW! TOO TIGHT! STRUGGLE TO GET FOOT INSIDE!! SORRY........levitate 4, NOPE!

Please start making more wide sizes available or make your "standard" shoes roomier and less tight. I miss the first Levitate it was probably the roomiest of all 4.

After owning 5 pair of Levitate over the last several years, I was excited about running in the Levitate 4. Unfortunately, this new design does not live up to the standard the previous designs have set for this particular shoe. There is a change in the midfoot area to the Levitate 4 that is different from previous versions. It's much tighter around the mid foot and was even difficult to put the shoes on my feet. This new design was uncomfortable for my entire run. In addition, my feet were in pain the next day. I am a Brooks fan for life so will turn to one of the other Brooks shoes for running. I'm just disappointed as the Levitate had been my go-to long distance running show for years and now this new design feature Is forcing me to change.

Great Looking Shoe, but got a heal blister left foot during first 2 weeks and now the toes on my right foot are turning red after wearing for my usual 3 mile walk..one toe is turning black. I am a 74 year old wanna be runner but told I can't run anymore due to knee surgery..I know feet change with age. I originally became interested in Brooks with the best fitting shoe in a long time for me it was the shoe called ADRENALINE.

I have been an avid Brooks fan for a number of years. Brooks has been the only brand in my shoe rotation for more than five years. My shoe rotation consists of Launch, Ghost, and Glycerin. This was my first pair of the Levitate. I thought I'd try these as a candidate for my rotation. I have worn them a couple of times now but the tongue design is very clumsy and creates hot spots on the top of my feet. These will be donated as they are of no value to me. It provided an opportunity to look at other brands. I introduced a pair of New Balance into the rotation. My initial impression of the NB is very positive. Worth an additional look in the future.

The shoes hurt my feet, caused injury. i am returning this product.

Ordered my usual size and they were so small I couldn't get them on my feet. Returned!

Far too narrow for my foot. I had to return this pair

Narrow and sized smaller than other Brooks I have purchased. Tongue sewed in halfway up laces makes them difficult to put on,

Now I know why they were on sale. The upper is incredibly tight over the top of the foot. It's difficult to even get into the shoe. Not sure why the design changed? The older version of the Levitate was awesome. Hopefully, the design will be corrected.
