My normal shoe is the Brooks Launch 6. Wanted to try something a little more springy. These felt great. Springy and light and the upper material felt nice and breathable. Toe box felt fine but the there was little give around the mid foot which caused my foot to cramp up. I think this is b/c how it's designed to feel like a 'sock'. Tried a couple more runs to see if it would loosen up but same result. Wish these would've worked out for me but looks like back to the Launch series.

Making it a wraparound fit has a too tight feel and squeezes my foot making it uncomfortable even though it has plenty of cushion. I love the 3 special edition instead please fix for next edition.

Updating from levitate 2. Way less cushion, lighter, but very narrow toe box that no longer fit my foot in the same size

I am an avid and enthusiastic runner. I was quite disappointing that I could not run a 5K without my feet hurting. Pressure points in the arc from the shoe being quite narrow. I did get a 1/2 size up and still did not help. The design and and material looks great.

I have trained and run a marathon on the Levitate 2, but have since switched to the Glycerin models. When the Levitate 4 came out, I decided to give it a try again. I love the look and the feel on the foot, but after getting used to the cushion on the Glycerin, I couldn't handle the ground pounding any more. If you don't do a lot of miles (I'm currently logging 35-40 miles a week), or like to feel the ground under your feet, the Levitate 4 may be the right shoe for you. It was not for me.

Incredible quality but i just do not like these shoes. There is 0 cushion, it feels like you are running on wood. On a treadmill or less than 3 mile run or even walk it around town they are fine but as soon as you pass 3 miles with them they just quickly become unpleasant.

Love my first pair of levitate running shoes And was quick to order a second pair but a newer model These were nothing like the first ones. I ordered the same size and they were fully a size smaller. They looked awesome but were unwearable. Send them back immediately. What a shame

Body has tongue sewed in. Too tight because of this. Cannot open the space. I cut the stitching about 1/2 inch on each side to be able to wear.

Soles aren't as thick or absorbent as I would prefer.
As an everyday runner, I would pass on these if I had to choose again.

These shoes are very stiff and the toe box is very tight. Returned them in favor of old faithful, Revels.

They're just okay. I'm not a fan of the flimsy, thin heel guard as opposed to the sturdier and thicker type in the Ghost 12 shoes I bought the year prior. Additionally, I ordered size 11, the exact size as the Ghost 12, yet the Levitate 4 feel very tight on me.

Very disappointed in this style. I have ordered and worn Brooks athletic shoes for years. I would typically order/buy a sz 8.5 and was good to go. This was the first one that was a size too large.

Loved these sneakers at first, but a few months later the top fabric holding the laces together has completely ripped apart, rendering them unusuable. Soles are still in perfect shape (I am a casual runner by any reasonable standard and have not used them heavily), quite a shame

I followed the Zappos website size recommendation but these shoes are uncomfortably tight. Will take Zappos up on their "try and return" policy and send them back for a refund. I am generally pleased with Brooks shoes and believe this is an aberration. Bought another pair of Brooks shoes in the same order and they are great.

You guys ruined the Levitate for me with the Lev 4. It's more narrow in the toe box than prior models and I have terrible toe blisters and black toenails that I've never had before. Been in the Levitates from the beginning but now it's time to find an alternative. Tried on both models of the Lev 5 and both are disappointingly just as narrow as the Lev 4.

Love the look of this shoe but unfortunately I had to return because the design doesn't allow the shoe to be unlaced and opened up enough to get the shoes on my feet.
