Extremely comfortable except for a bit tight on toe area. I would suggest size up by 1/2 size or wider width.

These are ok, I like the style more than the fit. The gold is beautiful and has a nice look. However these run more narrow in the toe box from the Levitate3 and also they don't have as much cushion! Not sure why Brooks changed the design!

I have bought Levitates from the time they have came out! They are my absolute favorite. The 4, however, feels like it has ran smaller than the earlier versions and also a bit tighter. Not sure why, but that?s my only complaint. I had to go up and entire foot size (returning 2x). The only reason they didn?t get 5 stars

Super comfy on the soul but I don't like how the tongue is sewn into the shoe it makes it very tight over the top of my foot and not easily to adjust the tightness the levitate 2 was the best ????

When my Levitate 3s started wearing out after walking 4 miles a day every day of the pandemic, I ordered a pair of Levitate 4s in the same size, 81/2, but when they arrived they were much too small. I called Brooks for advice as I wasn?t sure if the next size up would be too big. The Brooks guy said he wore Levitates as well and he had to go up a size so I tried that. So I sent those back and ordered a pair in a size 9. I am now wearing a pair of regular socks and a pair of cushioned running socks and they fit perfectly and I have that same springy feeling I had with my last pair. To me running shoes have to make you feel like you want to move, to walk, to run....to GO! These do that for me and although it was a rocky start I love my new Levitate 4s. Go up a size and wear an extra pair of socks and go for it!

Very comfortable, I did have to go a half size up because they are tighter then expected. Besides that while driving it puts pressure on the metatarsal area, but overall very comfy. If they were more of a stretch material at the top it would make it a 5 star. I use them for 10-12 hour work days by the way, not for running.

I had to order a second pair because the shoes ran smaller than usual. I have had 2 Levitate and 1 Bedlam pairs and all were size 8. The Levitate 4 I needed an 8.5.

Very comfortable for ~3 miles on a tread. Any more than that and the back digs in to my heel too much. But they look so good!

I recently received theses as a (requested)gift and I have to say I love them. I?m very heavy heeled when I walk/run and I find these to be very light but supportive in the heel which helps correct my stride. After reading lots of reviews I asked for a size 8 even though I normally wear a 7 1/2, the fit is perfect so I definitely recommend going up half a size. The only very small negatives I can think of is they are a little high in the back so I have to wear taller socks so they won?t rub and they are pretty uncomfortable after wearing for a long period of time but I can tell both of those issues will go away once they?re broken in. Over all I think these shoes are fantastic and I will be buying from brooks again in the future.

I typically where an 8.5 and alwasy order 9's when buying running shoes. These seemed to run small. I wish I had a 9.5. I only buy BROOKS...so know their brand! Love Brooks shoes~

This is my first Levitate style. I like that it runs narrow for my AA width and is lightweight for longer runs. The bottom sole is flat so you can "feel the road" underneath you. I bought the gray and wasn't sure I'd like the lavender accent, but it grew on me. I would suggest that Brooks include accent colors in the descriptions of their shoes to set customer expectations.

It runs a bit narrow, also this shoe is no longer on the Hruska Clinic Recommended Shoe List - I believe due the changes in the vamp.

While I like a snug fitting shoe, these were not my favorite Brooks. I've never needed to purchase a wide, but the way these feel make me think I might need one. They're very easy to walk in and move around.

The only complaint I have is the back loop rubs the back of my heel raw :( but I'm getting taller socks to help that. Otherwise, very comfortable shoes. Lightweight and easy to run in with great support. Plus I love the sleekness :)

I bought these for the reflective quality. My security camera proves they are highly reflective. I wear them as a daily wear shoes bot for running. Love the look.

Overall the shoe is good. My main issue with it is that I've had my tibalis anterior tendon reconstructed and this model puts more stress on the top of my ankle than the Adrenaline GTS 20

This is my third pair of Levitate running shoes. In regular shoes I wear an 8, and my prior two pairs of Levitates have been a comfortable 8.5. The 8.5 in the Levitate 4 was narrower/tighter that the prior two iterations. I agree with other reviewers that this felt very tight across the front of the shoe. Returned for a 9, and it works perfectly for me. The 4 is lighter, but also feels a little less cushy than the last couple of pairs. Really good looking pair of shoes though.

This shoe fits more tightly around my foot which I love! The design of it is almost sock like. Unfortunately this causes the back of the shoe to rub blisters on my heel. I'm hoping as I continue to wear them this will get better.
