I’ve worn brooks for years. typically order the same size and style without any issue. these felt way too small and not nearly as cushiony as my other. on their way back.

I tend to have wider feet, but I got a pair of brooks a while back that weren't wide with and they fit fine. I got a different style same size and were too snug.

I currently have levitate shoes purchased from a Running Store. I was replacing them with what I expected to be an exact pair. They are not even close. This pair has very thin insoles and an extremely wide toe box. These appear to be knock offs.

I am joining with the other reviewers here as I say that I am disappointed in the Levitate 4. I own Levitate 2 and I wish I had stocked up and hoarded them . I have had toe surgery and I need wide and soft shoes now. I love my Levitate 2 but alas the 4's are NARROW and push on my pinky toes! What a shame. Oh well. I will keep searching.

I love the style of these shoes, but I am super disappointed in how tight they are. I can't even get my foot in the shoe with a thin no show sock on. I have had great experience with other levitates in the past. Wish these came in a wide.

I was in love with these shoes, but the new models run super tight compared to the previous models. I am nurse and on my feet all day. The levitate 1 and 2 was all that worked with my orthotic inserts and did not give me heel pain or rub. Please make these shoes in wide!

Fit , size, looks WONDERFUL..... BUT......
the tongue is sewn down so as to not allow shoe to open sufficiently to insert foot!.
This feature is not discernible on the website and is supremely annoying. I LOVED the shoes BUT could not get foot in without shoe horn., Back they went

This is my 5th pair of Levitate shoes and my first Levitate 4. They have changed the shoe and not for the better!! The quality has really dropped off---the padding on the shoe is lacking, the shoes are harder to get on because tongue is sewn so high up now. My next shoes won't be Levitate 4. Can't find Levitate 2 anymore and I can see why, people liked those and they are sold out everywhere.

These were "okay" I didn't feel secure in this shoe. I couldn't run a long distance without my legs hurting - as I can run longer distances in other shoes - I returned this shoe

If I could leave it 0 stars I would. The levitate 2 was the best shoe you made. The new 4 is a 1/2 size smaller than normal and has no cushion or spring back.

This shoe was really cute but uncomfortable and had no cushion. I would not recommend it.

I have worn Brooks for a long time. They have made huge changes in comfort and fit. I ordered two pairs, different styles. Sent both back. Could not find a single pair at local sporting store that I would take if free. I have been wearing Levitate 2. Why did they stop that one? These I could not slide on because the tongue is attached to the uppers. The tongue was thin and unlined. Could not be spread beyond first two lace wholes. They are cheaply made. Ordered another brand. They are going back too

I usually wear 9.5 in Brooks Adrenaline shoes. I so badly wanted to fit in this shoe because it looks so awesome! The stretchy fabric around the opening of the shoe and the rest of the shoe that is like space dyed is too cool. I love, love, love the color combination. The tongue of the shoe is affixed so that even when I loosened the laces, that part of the shoe did not open wide enough to even get my foot in. Too bad... Brooks, make this wide or bring the color combo to Adrenaline please!!

The 4s are just wayyyyyyyy too different from previous series. I have adored the 2s and 3s (but mostly 2s), and the 4s don't have the bounce or the support, and are way too rigid and tight. It's like an entirely different shoe, to be honest. The colors are great, but honestly, I'm out here to enjoy running, and the pretty designs won't make up for a crummy run.:( I'm absolutely sending these back, and will hang out with my Ricochets until the series is more like its previous fits.

I ordered 2 pairs of Brooks last week. I have two pairs I am wearing now that I alternate but I need new ones. What on earth have they done? Did they change manufacturer? The soles were fine. The uppers a disaster. I couldn't slide my foot in. I finally discovered the tongue only opens the shoe up about an inch +/-. From the laces to the material to the design to functionality I would rate this zero stars. Very sorry. I will try to find another brand. Please pass this information on to Brooks, which I thought until this week made the best athletic sneakers.

I am looking. Maybe Asic. I know you have a lot of brands.

I am very disappointed with Brooks. Every time you get a great product you feel the need to tweak it and then ruin it. I am an RN, work 12 hour shifts, and have horses. Over the years I've had several horse related injuries to my feet/ankles and Brooks were the only shoes that kept me comfortable while at work. I originally wore Glycerin's but now they are made so hard I can not stand to put them on my feet. I was excited when you first brought out the Levitate's because the foot bed felt similar to what the original Glycerin's were. While I love the look of my new Levitate's the foot bed is harder than the pair I have been wearing for a little over a year to work. If you want a better product you need to make the foot bed the same as the first style of Levitate you sold. You used to have great shoes, now they just look pretty. I am not sure why all companies think they have to continuously change their products, and the old adage "If it's not broke don't fix it" would definitely apply to your shoe line. I sincerely do not know what I am going to do now because Brooks were the only shoes I could wear to work and now they have been ruined just like Nike.

Not a comfortable shoe. Interestingly I tried to cancel this order 5 mins after ordering but I was told they have no connection to the warehouse. I find it funny that the have a connection to the warehouse to place an order, but not to cancel an order. Not impressed with Brooks Running company right now.

This was second pair of these and they changed the shoe from 2020 to 2021. The 2020 was great for plantar fasciitis but 2021 shoe is narrow and lacking on the back of the shoe. This causes blisters and cuts your foot on your heel bone. I am returning these. I at first thought something was wrong with the pair I got but the second pair was the same if not worse.

Cheap, cheap, cheap. These shoes are made very cheaply and seem that they will fall apart after little wear. Thin, flimsy shoe tongue, minimal foot tread, unfinished edges, I will be returning them. Poor quality!

The “sewn in” tongue makes this shoe nearly impossible to put on! Afraid this will tear off if worn a couple months—Returning as a result. Not happy!
