Customer Reviews Brooks Levitate 4

I thought that the Levitate 4 would work well for me. I tried it on and walked around in it for a day. I found that the shoe was very uncomfortable in that it was too narrow in both the middle and toebox of the shoe and I have a fairly narrow foot. It was hard to both put on and to take off. I could not recommend this model. I have already delivered it to FedEx for a return and I ordered a pair of Ghost 13 shoes since I previously purchased a pair. I receive the Ghost 13 shoes on Friday and I wore them over the weekend. They are very comfortable and I am glad that I purchased them and I would recommend them to a friend.

Too tight at my regular size

I have owned the levitate 2 and 3's. I wore a 10 in both pairs. I bought a 10 in the 4s and it was very small. I then tried an 11 and it was way to large. 10.5 might have been a better fit but I doubt it with the drastic size. It was taking 5 days to get a pair of shoes. I ended up having 2 credits I am waiting on also. The reason I was getting the 4's was my favorite pair of the 2's cracked where the flex in on the palm of the foot. I needed another pair of shoes so I bought On Clouds.

Too narrow, very unconventional

Too stiff and not enough padding for a daily trainer based on my preference for the Levitate 3 design. The seam under the toe box on the soul is causing blisters. I've had the Levitate 2 and 3 and liked them a lot. I am a loyal Brooks runner but find your annual shoe updates often don't result in improvements. (I often remark, why did they update a shoe that was working great for me. I out in the Mike's and will buy new pairs. No need for a major update to get me to purchase new.) I went out and found 3-pairs of last year's Levitate 3 as I am not happy with the 4. I will probably pass the 4 on to my son and see if he can use them.

Inhave owned several pair of Levitate and has always fit perfect. But I can't say the same with L4. L4 much kore narrow and not the same feel. WHY change a design that has worked without appropriate customer input Hate new LV

I love Brooks shoes but absolutely hate the Levitate. They are very stiff and hard. I suppose that means responsive in shoe parlance but it feels like one is running on boards. They also wore out very fast. The sole is not durable. I do like the comfort of the upper, but would not buy these shoes again.

Shoes are very tight at the toe and the upper side of the feet around lacing. Its not really comfortable to wear for longer periods.

Something was changed in the front toe box and the stitching at the base of the laces. They fit completely different , way way smaller.

Had the Levitate 2's and loved them. The new design looked great, so I was excited for the upgrade, but have since been disappointed. The semi-integrated tongue means that you can't loosen the shoe to fit your foot, which is bad because I hey are way too tight around the top/bridge. It feels like someone is squeezing my foot while I run. I was hoping it would loosen up after a run, but it didn't. Woke up the next day feeling like I had a broken foot.

Tongue sewn to body meant i couldn't get the shoe on my foot
